Argh. Another language where **LL** trips up the unwary. ---

I very distinctively hear a T but there _is_ no T. I guess that explains why EVE is as weird as it is. ---

I guess that explains why EVE is as weird as it is. Eyjafjallajokull is the name of another Iceland volcano and ice cap. Its name and pronunciation just is a good example of how much most of us know about Iceland volcanoes in particular and scandinavic things in general. For a non-scandinavian, Eyjafjallajokull sounds like swearing. It may be some hidden scandinavian context coded into this word. So, when something bad happens referred to Iceland volcanoes, you can cry out that word, looks like. It sounds like “Full-Bridge Rectifier”, you know. You can name it your cyno Titan in EVE Online, but definitely not your spouse. If somebody is worried about this situation, I can say that volcanoes cannot lead to Iceland sinking into the sea. They work absolutely opposite to it. Like Hawaii and Japan, they’ll increase the size of the island. The only dangerous situation is their proximity to the city, because the clouds of high temperature sulfuric acid and vapors can expand in any direction. So, officials must listen to volcanologists and be ready to evacuate people in case. ---

Like Hawaii and Japan, they’ll increase the size of the island. Perhaps. There are plenty of examples of other types of volcano explosively disassembling themselves, but they tend to be rather more silica rich. ---

### The Horta ![HORTA](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/eveonline/original/4X/9/4/4/9442fe851594a207cb97164fa59822a7d77bbb67.jpeg) > **[Star Trek](https://www.startrek.com/)** > > The Official Star Trek Website and gateway to the final frontier The first silicon-based lifeform to be introduced in the _Trek_ universe, the Horta might prompt you to utter “I’m a doctor, not a bricklayer!”—that is, of course, if you’re Dr. McCoy and have been sent to nurse the rocky-looking creature. Spock, on the other hand, performs a mind-meld and finds he quite likes the alien, who admires his ears. IRL, the unique-looking creature was the brainchild of Janos Prohaska, who originally created it for _The Outer Limits_, where it appears as a giant germ. According to _Inside Star Trek: The Real Story_, he added some fringe and veins to transform it into a miner’s worst nightmare on Trek. ---

I guess… I’ve lived most of my life with volcanoes in sight, and the ones that don’t look like volcanoes are the most of concern. ---
