     We went to the Perlan hill in Reykjavík to have a better view. We were not the only people who had that idea — got kinda picnic-y in the middle of the night. Fun!

     I brought my :bluetooth: speaker.

     And put on the Lord of the Rings soundtrack.

     It had to be done.

     (yes, photo quality is crap, Fairphone 4 camera is a potato when it comes to night photos; but that nicely avoids privacy issues around people in the photo!)

     Sometimes we put on a fireplace video or Ron Swanson drinking whiskey.

     But not today.

     @rysiek @phire very cool! Thank you for sharing! Does the volcano have a smell from that far away? Is there a volcano smell?

     @ThunderHoneySnow @phire there is in general a volcano smell, eruptions emit a *lot* of different (toxic!) gasses. So far no specific smell noticed from that far away, though.
