This actually happened, in 1973 there was a massive volcano eruption in the Westman island and up to 410 houses went under an avalanche of ash. Luckily no one died. The Icelandic people finally had enough and started pumping ice cold water from the sea in attempt to stop the lava flow. And it worked

@Katrin27 það er eins og eitthver kom og sagði bara "ég nenni þessu ekki lengur. Náum í sjó og stoppum þetta helvíti"

@Icelandicnerd það er eiginlega bara nákvæmlega þannig

@Katrin27 I-I know this is over 11 months and nearly one year late but, could I request a picture of video of this happening??? or a detailed explanation of how they did it?

I'm confused.
You said you love this particular comic, in the same sentence you said "fuck you" to the creator?

I've only just realised that the lava has a face

(facepalms)
Yup, it sure does. :P

Those of you that call them volcanoes... YOURE WRONG its lava basket damnit!

I just noticed that the lava has a sad face and whimpered! It's like a scolded puppy

@Mikhails haha awww

@Mikhails well it is a scolded LAVA STREAM. they both have similar reactions to when they are scolded. so TECHNICALLY it is a scolded puppy.

"lava bucket" is so fucking funny to me, idk why

this is so adorable ;__;

No, the lava basket!

Ah... I have photos of the lava eruptions that my afi took live of the Eldfell eruptions on Heimaey when those events actually took place. He was a firefighter from Reykjavík and was assisting with the evacuation, snapped a few photos. Don't think he was actually involved with the lava-flow redirection efforts, but awesome none-the-less.
