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.

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!
