Volcano Iceland erupts, roughly, every five years. From 2021 onwards, however, the frequency is closer to every 12 months! The area, widely known as Fagradalsfjall, about 35 kilometers from the capital Reykjavík, burst into life after the earthquakes that hit the Reykjavik peninsula. The three eruptions — some consider a single eruption month apart — mark the start of a new geological era on the southwestern peninsula, which has been dormant for the past 800 years.

Daylight Saving Time (DST), also known as Daylight Saving Time, Daylight Time (United States, Canada, and Australia), or Daylight Saving Time (United Kingdom, European Union, and others), is the time when clocks are set forward. The process is (usually one hour) during the warmer months so that darkness falls at a later hour. A common implementation of DST is to move clocks forward one hour in late winter or spring ("spring forward") and set clocks back one hour in fall (North American English) ("fallback") or autumn ( UK English) back to standard time. As a result, there is a 23-hour day in early spring and a 25-hour day in mid-autumn.
