Apparently a system upgrade allowed five individuals to withdraw non-existent money from their own accounts to other accounts. They did this repeatedly over a few days, amounting in about 400 million ISK, or over 3 million USD.
I'm from Iceland, so a latitude of about 64.15 or so. The extremities of the graphs kind of describe how the mood of the people swings up and down all year round. In the middle of summer, around the summer solstice, people are bordering on mania, enjoying endless daylight and trying to get the most out of each day. As winter solstice approaches, everything becomes more subdued, a bit depressed even. It's often a bit difficult to live with, especially during the shortest winter days, but the summers are so incredibly amazing that it feels like it's all worth it.
In Iceland, the president is chosen by simple majority of votes. The sitting president got about 39% of the vote. There were 9 candidates.
Of course, this problem is usually brushed off saying that this is a largely powerless office, the prime minister and his cabinet hold the executive power.
+1 for chart.js - use it for most charting needs and even created a Wagtail app[1] that uses Chart.js on the frontend to render charts based on user input.
The fissure length at its maximum is thought to be around 4km in length, about 2.5 miles. The output has diminshed and the webcam is zoomed in on the most active part right now, which is probably not more than a few hundred meters.
I live in Reykjavik, west side and close to the ocean. From the coast line there it is about 35km or 22 miles direct line of sight to the eruption site. I went out about 1 hour and 15 minutes after the eruption started and saw the lava flow about 100-150m in the air with my bare eyes. I've seen a few eruptions but they are always mesmerizing!
I think you are misinterpreting this photo. Nobody has been paving over the fissures in the town. I think it's a combination of moisture, different coloured asphalt sections, and light/shadows that tricks the eye. As you can see in this drone footage [1] the car park asphalt is darker, and the hot water pipes ruptured in the ground create steam that spreads moisture over the asphalt, making it darker. Also, you have a building next to the car park which makes it even darker than the street.
