    Iceland has 32 active volcanoes. Eruptions are fairly routine, there.

    I’m not saying this is safe or not. I’m just saying if any country in the world can tame a volcano, it Iceland.

      32 volcanoes, but how many of them are over a mile long? That’s rad af.

      Anyway, I wonder if drilling into the magma chamber won’t create a “path of least resistance” for when the volcano finally decides to erupt… doesn’t sound like a good idea to stay at the other end of such path.

      Then, with earthquakes and what not, how stable can they keep that bore hole?
