Now you have an excuse for gray hair, O Rotter.

A component of Ragnarok has the seas rising and flooding the planet; the mountains crumble — essentially all Ragnarok breaks loose.

Through this, one could see how the Norskes understood their world. It'd be interesting to see if we (humanity) have much geological data on Iceland (from what I understand, though, Iceland is a geologist's dream). Did those volcanoes blow fairly regularly between 0-800AD? And stuff like that.

...and by the seas rising, perhaps they were foreshadowing what happens when volcanoes melt glaciers.

Last time this volcano blew up in a serious way, it lasted a couple of years. If this keeps up like that, it means the Rotter is stuck there till 2012? Then again, he can trek to the Behring Strait, and then paddle to Palin's house, from where it should be a snap to get back.

Here's to loop this story in with a previous Icelandic update.

Tales of Planet Rot: Russian plane attempts to travel from Moscow to Rome by flying under the ash cloud from Iceland's volcano. The flight, operated by Russia's Ural Airlines, had to descend more than 9,000 feet while it flew over Krakow, Poland. Later, the crew reported that the plane was low on fuel and was forced to land in Vienna.

They ran out of beer, evidently.

Maybe stock back up on vodka in Vienna too.
