FIRE AND ICELAND?!?! →
So I didn’t even know this was possible: a volcano began erupting beneath a glacier in southern Iceland this weekend, creating a surreal-looking, 800-meter-long gash in the ice.  More than 600 nearby residents were evacuated yesterday as a precaution.  It’s the first volcano eruption in Iceland since 2004, and the first one in this region of the country in the past two centuries. ...

Copenhagen Cycle Chic →

Finnish Kids are Some of the Smartest in the World... →
Fascinating through and through in particular: “Once school starts, the Finns are more self-reliant. While some U.S. parents fuss over accompanying their children to and from school, and arrange every play date and outing, young Finns do much more on their own. At the Ymmersta School in a nearby Helsinki suburb, some first-grade students trudge to school through a stand of evergreens in...
