“A volcano has started erupting on Iceland’s Reykjanes peninsula, which is around 19 miles (30 kilometers) from the country’s capital. The eruption, the first on the peninsula in almost 800 years, isn’t expected to be life-threatening or cause damage to inhabited areas. It began around 9:40 p.m. GMT (5:40 p.m. in New York) and was confirmed by webcam and satellite pictures, the Icelandic Met office said on its website. The activity was expected following weeks of seismic unrest in the area. Lava is expected to flow as a liquid along the surface of the earth for less than a month, according to geophysicist Freysteinn Sigmundsson. Minor explosive activity can be anticipated. Unlike an incident in 2010, air traffic was unlikely to be affected” Bloomberg reports.
See if this were a Prilosec commercial, some dude would be in a gastroenterologist’s office saying “Uhhhn, it feels like a volcano erupting” and then the doctor would recommend Prilosec, so we turned it around and imagined the volcano saying “Uhn, I feel like a human who ate too many spicy wings” in the headline. That’s pretty funny, right? You guys get it, right? Isn’t it clever?
