I like the way there's a police car there, in case people were thinking they might just go for it anyway
You clearly don't know people
"It's rock, right?"
I mean, my first thought was "i wonder if you could drive across that." But I'm also smart enough to not be the first person to try... maybe the second though
The others are already safely across in Grindavik, you're fine.
Mine was "Man that water is really dark, I hope nobody tries to drive through it. Wait...
The top layer is.
Today, someone jumped over the construction barriers on an escalator that was under construction. They fell into the open hole in the escalator, got seriously hurt, and then had the audacity to complain to metro police officers that there was a hole in the escalator for some reason. The police had the grace to not admonish him for being a moron. Both ends were blocked with construction barriers ~4.5 feet high by 3.5 feet deep, and the elevator was right by them, lol. It was very difficult for someone to even vault over in the first place.
Imagine this would happen in the US! The police would have shot the lava!
EDIT: For the Downvoters: Of course they would have shot the lava. Have you seen it? Its black!
I visited Iceland, not too long ago. The tour guides, politely, made a point of illustrating how much of a rude menace tourists can be with their rental cars. We got a pass, of course, as we were on a tour bus every time this happened. The message was clear: use the world-class public transit and charter busses/tours where possible.
My perspective as a tourist: the cops really are needed in situations like this.
People who make money by shepherding people on buses are fans of bus travel.
Huh.
By the way guys in this country it’s immoral to drive
World class public transit? Lol you can hardly get from the airport to Reykjavik, you absolutely need a rental car if you want to enjoy Iceland
Iceland is actually one of the most car dependant countries in the entire world

Hah! What gets used for real there would have Jeep owners drooling with envy.
So fat tires?
Yah, Jeep guys would have never done that.
I saw a Juck with the doors taken off the other day.
Like a pidgeon wearing floaties.
