It’s been 5 months since the eruption started and while it has gone through many different phases, often baffling volcanologists, it’s still going fairly strong. Actually, nobody has any idea if it’s going to end soon or continue for years on end!

Have you ever been watching a strongman competition and noticed just how many Icelandic people feature? From legends of lifting like Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson to double CrossFit Games champion Anníe Mist Þórisdóttir, there seems to be a disproportionate number of Icelanders competing at the highest level.
