How long will the eruption last? 🌋🤔 That's one of the most frequent questions about the current eruption near Litli-Hrutur. The answer is that we don't know. In fact, no one does 🤷‍♀️ But it's here now, so we'll just enjoy it while we can 🤩 #volcano #iceland

The Northern Lights and Aurora Borealis refer to the same amazing natural wonder; the latter term is simply the scientific name. The word "Aurora" is Latin for sunrise and the name of the Roman Goddess of the dawn, and "Borealis" is the Greek name for the north wind 🌅🌬️

What makes the glacier ice caves blue? 🤔 The ice in a glacier is thicker and denser than regular ice, such as what’s in your freezer. It's so thick, dense, and old that it absorbs all colors of the spectrum except the color blue, so that's the color we see 🤩🩵 #iceland
