Eruptional news

I have been sorting out my commonplace book for last year before putting it away in the cupboard with all the others from the past 40 YEARS.

I was amused to see that I had taken note of the following, written by Martin Waller in The Times on 7 February 2009:

“The exact reason why Iceland, population 300,000, main industry cod, erupted on to the world stage as a significant player … has never been entirely clear.”

Well, it is now!

Actually, if you read some of the other speculation in the piece you have the beginnings of the plot for a novel of Dan Brown proportions. Perhaps the Cold War has been hotting up again.
