THE FIRES

This is our earth.

Brand new.

It's warm.

Because of the sun.

Mhm.

Under our feet...

beats a fiery heart.

Listen.

I don't hear anything.

Dad?

Dad?

Dad?

Dad?

That was a big one.

Was that another earthquake?

How big was it?

- 5.2. Just outside the peninsula.
- 5.2?

Whoa!

What did I tell you about the rats?

They're not rats, they're called degus!

- Salka, help me catch Almond and...?
- Raisin!

It only makes sense to arrange
a flight to check it out.

You know as well as I do that it
can erupt there without warning.

If they complain, remind them
this is about public safety.

- Yes, I'll be there soon.
- Thanks.

He still hasn't signed?

Okay, bye.

- Are you finished, Salka?
- No.

Don't you think you'll be
cold in that dress?

But I want to wear a dress.

It's freezing outside, my love.

You have to dress warmer.

But I want to look nice tonight.

I know, sweetheart.

Hi M�ni.

Hi.

- Salka's almost ready.
- Okay.

- Hi M�ni.
- Hi.

You must have felt the earthquake
strongly at home this morning.

If it goes on like this, we can
stop setting our alarm clocks.

This box was found in
one of the storage rooms.

It's labeled with your father's name.

Just put it there on the table.

So you want to go on a helicopter ride,
little Anna?

That's what I was hoping, yes.

The peninsula is quaking,
like it always does.

Like it did last year and the year
before that,

and will do tomorrow and next month...

J�hannes always knows it all.

Maybe the Met Office should disconnect
its instruments and plug you in instead?

Someone's feisty this morning.

Last I knew, earth science wasn't
based on your opinions.

We need more certainty.

By flying over, we could...

Let's keep our feet on
the ground, alright?

Oh, I can't make it to the
residents' meeting tonight.

Salka is playing at a recital.

I can ask someone else.

No...

I'll figure it out.

Good.

But, Anna...

You need to calm the people.

Represent the official opinion
of the department.

So no apocalypse talk.

The earthquakes of the last few weeks

have originated here,

just off the tip of the peninsula,

which is why they were felt so
strongly here in Grindav�k,

and along the entire seismic
zone... into Reykjav�k.

There are six active volcanic systems
on the peninsula...

so it's safe to say it will erupt again.

However, earthquakes...

even big ones like the one
this morning,

don't necessarily mean
it's about to erupt.

Theoretically speaking, the next
eruption could be decades away.

Even hundreds of years away.

Hi.

Hi.

There's some lasagna in the fridge.

Thank you.

I'm starving.

She asked to see the rock collection.

Are you looking at grandpa's
rock collection?

This one was always my favorite.

But it's so ordinary.

Yet extraordinary.

I think this one's the
most beautiful.

It's a stone called... zeolite.

What about this one?

Crystal.

If you count the corners,

you'll know if it's Iceland spar,

or quartz.

- Three.
- So it's Iceland spar.

I'll be there next time.

I promise.

After eight-hundred years of inactivity,

a submarine eruption has begun at
the tip of the Reykjanes peninsula.

Data signaling the eruption was received
just thirteen minutes before it began...

Were you playing with the gas mask again?

I put it back where you told me.

- I don't know when I'll be home.
- Hey.

No one's been hurt.

I'm late.

I'm coming.

In about 15 minutes.

J�hannes said it's important to maintain
close ties with the Cabinet...

Keep them informed on
new developments.

Of course, he did.

He doesn't have to ride with them.

There's just two of them.

National Broadcasting and
Channel 2 need aerial footage.

And there's a photographer, too.
I don't remember his name.

Good morning.

Ash has started falling in the
town of Hafnir.

- Do you think the airport will be closed?
- The wind is to the south.

With ash falling in Hafnir,
it's likely that Keflav�k will be next.

What are we waiting for?

Sorry.

Sorry for the wait.

Coffee.

How the hell could this happen?

How could it erupt without
warning?

Technically, there was a warning.

Thirteen minutes is hardly a warning.

Anna, what do we know?

A volcanic fissure has opened
at the tip of the peninsula.

The plume is dark for a
submarine eruption...

and the tephra fall is considerable.

A SIGMET with estimated ash
distribution has been released.

We've already initiated
a no-fly zone,

and have started
to re-direct air traffic.

How long do we expect this
eruption to last?

Submarine eruptions like this
come and go.

It could last a few hours,
maybe a few days.

Unless it's the beginning of
a new wave.

- A new wave?
- Yes.

Last time it erupted on the Peninsula,
in the 13th century,

it lasted for thirty years.

Thirty years?

We call such a wave of eruptions
"fires."

And you think this is
happening now?

We can't rule anything out.

A new volcanic period may have
begun on the peninsula.

We don't have any data to
support this.

And none to disprove it either.

I agree with Anna.
We should take this seriously...

We should put together a large team...

The public is waiting for a statement.

What do we tell them?

The Southern Peninsula is
being evacuated and

a major traffic jam has
formed in Reykjav�k,

where help centers have been opened.

According to J�hannes,
director of the Institute of Geosciences,

the situation is stable.

The only concern we have at the
moment is the ash fall.

The main task is sheltering
affected residents.

The municipalities say it's hard
to evaluate...

You did your best.

Is Salka already asleep?

Mhm.

We baked to distract ourselves.

She was a bit startled by all this...

was worried you wouldn't
come back home.

It'll hopefully be over soon.

Not now.

No worries.

- I have a splitting headache...
- I understand. I wasn't...

It's fine...

I'm also tired.

- I'm gonna shower.
- Mhm.

Following the instructions
of the Civil Protection Council,

the peninsula was evacuated
earlier today.

However, it appears that some
farm animals were left behind,

and some animals fled.

The sheep were outside when the eruption
began. Thankfully we got them all in.

How do you feel?

We're mainly just angry.

At a residents' meeting a few days ago,

we were told
there was nothing to worry about...

And today we woke up in hell.

The eruption
hasn't just affected residents,

as ninety-three flights
have been cancelled...

and that number could
triple by tomorrow...

Everything has gone quiet
underneath the ash plume.

Doesn't mean it's over,

the activity could move onto land.

Anna.

May I have a word?

In private.

Good news, isn't it?

Flights should resume this afternoon,
and the clean-up can begin.

We might be advised to wait and see,

before popping champagne bottles.

Yes...
That's exactly why I'm here.

We're making a small change to the
Civil Protection Council.

A change?

The Science Board is now called
the Natural Hazards Advisory Board.

An entity that will assess
the ongoing situation,

and decide appropriate actions.

In collaboration with us. The scientists.

The board will be smaller.

People who are quick to think
and make decisions.

You've been nominated to
represent the University.

What about J�hannes?

Let's just say it's time

for a new perspective.

Hey.

Morning.

Hi.

- What's the status?
- No new activity.

Oh, look.

Her Royal Highness has come
to visit her foot soldiers.

J�hannes.

You can go on up.

I'll check the instruments down below.

And Anna.

You know what happened to
the boy who always cried wolf.

We never heard from the boy
who never cried wolf.

I wonder what happened to him.

I'm sorry.

Thomas.

Thomas Adler.
I'm a Danish photographer.

I was with you on the flight
the other day...

This is a restricted area.
You're not allowed to be here.

I paid off the policeman.

That was a bad joke.

I haven't paid off anyone. I'm just...

I, I was called out for Reuters.

You want to see a permit.

Yeah, I got it right here.

Just a second. I...

That's not it.

Oh, here it is.

Thomas Adler. Press.

Just as long as you don't
interfere with our work.

Sure. I promise.

You're Anna, right?

- Anna...
- Arnard�ttir.

I've never seen an eruption before.

Not with my own eyes.

Must be crazy working in this field
with all this uncertainty.

Never knowing what's going
to happen next.

We scientists tend to stick to facts

and empirical evidence.

Empirical evidence?

I like that.

I just don't think Mother Nature cares
much about empirical evidence.

Was...?

We need to go now.

- Good morning.
- Morning.

Alright. Here come the scientists.

Welcome to this first meeting of
the new Advisory Board.

We need to be quick today.

Stef�n has to be at the
Ministry before noon.

Anna, what can you tell us?

As we all know,

the Kerlingarb�s eruption has ceased.

However, the earthquakes have
moved onto land

and therefore, we scientists want to
maintain the Alert Phase.

Why?

It's difficult to predict
what will happen next.

Eir�kur, how...

How does the Met Office interpret
the earthquake activity?

The earthquakes have moved east,
towards the capital city, and

are now being detected here in the
Svartsengi system.

We're detecting around six hundred
earthquakes per day.

These smaller earthquakes
are common,

and don't signify an
impending eruption, right?

It's not quite that simple...

If we can locate the magma

and measure its movement,

we have better insight into
whether it may erupt again

and if so... where.

With the summer season approaching,

all this panic has
negative market impact.

Tourists don't dare to book flights,
afraid they can't get back home.

Let alone dying in a natural disaster.

Our job is to ensure public safety.

Not to spin a version of the truth

that suits the tourist industry
or the government.

You said yourself that...

we could be facing a long period
of volcanic activity.

Many interests are at stake here.

The peninsula's residents must return
back to their homes.

We'll reassess once you have

clear evidence

an eruption is imminent.

Did Salka wake you?

I just came in.

Took a spin around the lake.

Couldn't sleep anyway.

We should've given Salka a cat,
not those rats

to keep the damn blackbirds away.

You should take a sleeping pill.

It'll help you relax.

You can't be working such
long hours every day.

Every weekend.

I feel like I haven't seen
you in weeks.

A photo exhibit is opening at the
art museum today.

About the eruption.

The eruption?

Exciting.

Yeah.

Sounds fun. I'll take a shower.

You know where to find me.

Nice dress.

Do you want to try it on?

Or this one?

A bit more you.

I don't need a dress.

- No, I mean...
- It's okay. Let's go.

- I'm going to the bar.
- Yes, alright.

A cava for me, please.

What do you think?

These are very...

Informative photos.

Informative?

Okay.

Come.

I want to show you something.

This is,

my favorite photo in the exhibition.

You're the professional whom
everyone is counting on.

But at that moment, I felt like I...

I glimpsed behind all that

and I saw you as you are.

Just a human being in
the face of nature.

Wow.

Amazing photo.

- Hello.
- Hey, Thomas.

Thomas.

Oh, the photographer Thomas?

- Yes.
- Yeah. Okay.

Congratulations on the exhibition,
very nice.

Thank you. And you are?

I'm Kristinn.
I'm Anna's husband.

Nice photo of you.

Could we maybe order a print?

I uhh...

I've already made one.

I wanted to give it to Anna as a gift.

I'm not sure that it's appropriate

for me to hang a big picture of my face

in my home.

She's kidding. No, we must have one.

I understand. It's... yeah.

Okay, maybe we could buy
another one then.

What do you think?

Shall we bring your eruption
into our living room?

Why don't I let you guys
enjoy the exhibition

and then... yeah.

- Let me know.
- Okay yeah.

- Congratulations.
- Good night.

Nice to meet you.

It's an amazing photo.

We're going to have to get a new meter,

this one's corroded to hell.

We're not taking out new meters,

the lake has turned dangerous.

It's going to erupt.

I can feel it.

Gather the equipment.

Acid accumulation doesn't mean
it's going to erupt.

Hey! You are clingier than
my own shadow, young man.

I'm here to tell your story,
J�hannes.

As long as you're quiet.

Yes, sir.

Could it erupt, right here, right now?

Gr�navatn Lake is an old crater

formed in a phreatomagmatic eruption six
thousand years ago, so...

technically, yes.

This whole area could blow up.

- Now?
- Yeah.

Wow.

That is wonderful.

This place, man,

there's something special about it,

you know?

It's like an energy. It's just like...

The land, it somehow feels alive.

Like it could swallow you,

at any moment.

My father called it a fiery heart.

A fiery heart that beats
underneath us.

Was he a scientist too?

One of our best.

If the weather wasn't so bad like
ninety-five percent of the time

I could almost see myself living here.

So where is home?

That's a tricky one.

What about Denmark?

I like Denmark.

I just like the rest of
the world a bit better.

So when I was eighteen,
I packed my bag and then I left.

Sounds brave.

I don't know if there's anything
brave about it.

I just followed my gut.

If there's anyone to blame,
it would be...

it would be my father, because he...

Gave me my first camera.

For a shadow, you are
quite a chatterbox.

I'm sorry, J�hannes.

- Are we done?
- Mhm.

Oh, your print is ready,

if you want to pick it up.

I'll see if I can pop by sometime

during the next few days.

I can text you my address if you want.

Yeah.

This house, unbelievable view...

Elli�avatn Lake right outside.

And this painting.

Amazing color palette.

Wow...

There you are.
This is Anna.

Halld�r, L�sa,

- Gurr� and Svanur.
- Hi.

She knows you only as the cycling club.

- Great place to bike.
- Yes, and to play golf.

The yoga!

- Oh my god.
- You were drunk the whole time.

I still showed up for yoga...

with vodka
in my water bottle.

It's so relaxing to be tipsy
the whole day.

I love it.

You can even buy Christmas
presents there.

That's a bit odd though.

He was so pissed.

Did you take my visa card?
Did you buy all these presents?

Iceland has once again proven to be
a popular tourist attraction and

the tourists can't wait to come
to our volcanic island

and experience what it's like to
live on the edge.

And now to earthquakes
on the Reykjanes Peninsula.

Today, three earthquakes measured
over five in magnitude,

the largest 5.7.

Scientists warn that an eruption
could still happen

but it's not possible to say
when it might happen.

Grandagar�ur 2

Are we that boring?

Work can wait one evening, can't it?

Come and join us.

I'll be right down.

Quite an expensive experiment
you're making here.

With all due respect,

the entire Reykjanes Peninsula
could erupt

before you find conclusive evidence.

The dynamite's going in.

Okay,

everyone back off.

We fire on three.

One.

Two.

Three.

Sorry to disappoint.

Much ado about nothing, huh?

I'll call Ragnar.

SPOTLIGHT

Good evening and welcome
to Spotlight.

The earthquakes of the last weeks

seem to be peaking
at Mount Fagradalsfjall

where the Civil Protection Council

believes an eruption could begin
at short notice.

Anna, can you predict how
big this eruption will be?

We think this will be
a fairly small eruption

with a comfortably slow lava flow.

The location at
Fagradalsfjall is favorable

as no important infrastructure
is threatened.

Isn't it safer to expect a
larger eruption, just in case?

The Civil Protection Council has
raised the Alert Phase,

which means the entire area is
closed to public traffic.

But the data don't suggest a
major disaster.

Hello?

Hello?

Hello?

At last.
She's here.

The woman of the hour.

Sorry. It's been very busy.

It's fine, it's fine.

Let me just, just one second.

You wanna have some coffee?

I really don't have much time.

- Come on. No one says no to coffee.
- No, I...

I'm here just for the photograph.

I'm on my way home.

Okay.

Well...

Come in, feel free.

It's right over here.

It's not.

Oh, by the way, you looked...

You looked really good on TV.

Your dress really matched

the earthquake map brilliantly.

Here you go.

Here.

She's beautiful, isn't she?

Mother nature.

You sure you don't
want some coffee?

Okay.

Milk?

I should go.

- It's getting late and...
- Anna.

It's just coffee.

How beautiful.

Beautiful yes.

But dangerous too.

This would make a good spot for
a viewing platform.

Viewing platform?

The eruption can change
without warning...

move to a new location.

Rifts can open; the earth
can swallow people.

And there's gas pollution.

The levels are low now,
but that can change quickly.

It's difficult to sell souvenirs
to dead tourists.

You're always so negative!

The Kerlingarb�s eruption
was a huge hit

for the country's reputation.

Here's an opportunity to rebuild tourism.

We must be able to agree on

creating a monitoring system so that

the area can be evacuated
at short notice.

Economics and civil protection
go hand-in-hand.

We'll need monitoring
around the clock.

I'll talk to the police and

search-and-rescue.

And shut things down immediately if
anything changes.

You're cooking?

I got off work early.

I have something for you.

I was wrong.

It's perfect for my volcano woman.

Hi.

Hi.

Go to your room.

Why?

Hi!

How was school?

I got an A in maths.

Wow, well done.

M�ni got a C.

That's too bad.

- Oh, look.
- Hi.

Little Anna, welcome!

You look stunning in that dress.

Happy birthday, old man.

I found an old copy of
Chronicles of Toponyms

in my father's collection.

Come on, friends,

let's drink!

Then, in 1991, it was Mount Hekla.

J�hannes and I didn't know
each other very well and

agreed on things even less.

But we traveled together east...

It was then that he said those
famous words.

"Your first eruption

is like your first time with a woman

you never forget it."

- I owe you a thank you.
- How so?

I'd much rather

walk the

volcanic fields than endure
another meeting with

the tourism board.

I guess I'll have to take
one for the team.

Who would have believed
we would live to see this?

If your father...

You've done well, little Anna.

He would be proud.

But would knock your lights out for
holding my waist so tightly.

Mount Hekla already has my heart.

And Mount Katla, of course.

Now go...

and dance your wild dance.

The lab geeks are showing their colors.

We're not exactly known
for our dance moves.

I didn't think you would be here.

I was invited.

Turns out, J�hannes likes
to be photographed.

It's not quite my party but...

It just got a whole lot better.

Wanna dance?

The taxi's here.

Hi.

Sorry.

Why did you say the taxi is here?

And why did you drag me out?

We have the babysitter til twelve.

You're a woman of respectable age,

in a respectable position.

And does that mean I can't have fun?

It seemed to me you were having
more than enough fun.

I'm sorry.

The crevasse is 10 meters deep, at least.

If the magma in the Fagradalsfjall
system is moving,

you would expect the
eruption to change

or cease altogether.

But instead the next system stirs.

The systems are interacting.

But how?

REYKJANES PENINSULA

When will I see you again?

Did you see the new data?

It doesn't make any sense.

The activity continues to fluctuate
between the systems.

Is this your father's
original drawing?

Should belong to a museum.

What if everything we thought we knew
about the peninsula is wrong?

What do you mean?

What if these aren't a bunch of
small volcanic systems

as we've always thought.

But one big one.

A large magma chamber

deep in the earth.

Let's say, ten kilometers deep

with branches up to each volcanic system

into which the magma pushes alternately.

Like a cow's udder.

A cow's udder?

Everyone knows that these are
isolated systems.

But how do we explain
what's happening?

Where does this theory come from?

I don't know.

I just suddenly got this feeling.

Feeling?

This isn't based on science.
Just something that came to mind.

We could try to develop it further,
work up a model.

You could present it to the council.

And become a laughing stock?

No, thanks.

If you're right, the systems would be

more unpredictable than
we've always thought.

Ebba, forget it.

Unpredictable and much
more dangerous.

Not a word about this, El�sabet.

I mean it.

Or I'll never talk to you again.

Good afternoon.

You can't be here.

This is where I work.

I didn't know how else
to contact you.

You haven't responded to
any of my messages.

No, I have a lovely
husband and family

and very important work.

I can't stop thinking about you.

I can't.

I don't have time for this, Thomas.

- Anna, please.
- No, no.

Attraction is a relatively simple

biological process.

A primitive neurological phenomenon.

A matter of hormones,
neurotransmitters and time.

Our brains are bathed in dopamine

and norepinephrine.

This is why we're behaving like this.

This is what's wrong with us.

You found a formula for love?

Okay, so,

you're telling me these...

- hormones...
- And neurotransmitters.

They're responsible for this?

Norepinephrine, dopamine, serotonin...

So if we were to kiss...

It wouldn't be our fault?

Bloody neurotransmitters.

No one can really blame us.

The eruption at Fagradalsfjall is being
called a tourist eruption

which seems to be quite fitting.

Today, thousands of people
were at the eruption site.

We expected a lot of people to visit,

but not quite so many.

Countless selfies have
been snapped today.

Rescue team members had to shoo
people away from the burning lava.

And now finally we are here...
to see... very close...

After a while some cracks happened

and magma flowed again its...
wow, wonderful.

A part of the crater burst while
the hill below was filled with people

and many were startled when the flaming
lava came rushing towards them.

As we were moving past the eruption,

we could feel rumbling
underneath the earth,

a deep vibration. It was quite uncanny.

El fjall?

Eldfjall.

What is it?
El fjall.

Volcano.

What, is it?

It's a volcano.

El fjall.

I can't say it.

You have to give me
something simple.

- Aska.
- Ask.

- Aska.
- What's aska?

That's ash, right?

That's easy.

- Aska.
- Aska.

- No, no, no.
- Yes, yes, yes.

Hi Ebba.

Fuck, no no no.

I'm coming.

I'm on my way.

I'm sorry.

I'll be real quick. Yes okay. Okay.

Bye bye.

I fucked up.

I know what fuck means.
That's pretty international.

I have to go.

- No no no no no no no no, please.
- I have to...

- Please, no. Please stay.
- I have to go to class.

No! I have to go to class.

I can be your student.

Ebba.

I'm so sorry.
I thought this was tomorrow, I...

No problem.

Thanks.

I'll come to the class next week.

This is none of my business, and...

I wouldn't say anything

if you weren't my closest colleague.

But...

I was in the break room and

people are starting to talk.

- Talk?
- About what?

You've been seen together.

Us who?

You know there are many people
who covet your position.

Who feel they belong on the board

and want to represent us.

It's your life and
I'm not judging you, but...

This makes you an easy target.

I don't know what you think you know

but if you're insinuating that I'm
neglecting my duties,

I can assure you you're wrong.

I just wanted you to know this

before the news spread any further.

- You want some sauce?
- Yes.

Enjoy.

How is it?

M�ni says

that his mom says

we shouldn't eat chickens.

That we shouldn't be mean to animals.

And then he said something
about farting cows

and that we're all going to die!

Well... That's that.

That's something.

Yes.

But I still really like chicken,

especially with gravy.

Especially with gravy.

I was thinking,

since we didn't get much
of a summer holiday,

if we should go somewhere
during Salka's winter break.

Maybe to Tenerife?

What's Tenerife?

What do you say, Anna?

A little sun?

Sand between our toes?

Can we go for a walk after dinner?

Yeah. Of course.

Can I come with you?

No, little one, you...

need to practice the piano.

Yeah, I know.

Eat the potatoes too.

I'm in love with another man.

It's the photographer, isn't it?

Thomas.

I saw it when you danced with him.

You were like a completely
different woman.

For how long?

How long?

Since July.

Before the eruption.

And what?

What happens now?

I don't know.

Damn it.

Why was this earthquake so big?

Why is mom on the couch?

Mom?

Why was this earthquake so big?

I have to look into it, my love.

Where are you going?

- I have to go to work.
- Mom has to take care of the volcano.

But I don't want her to go!

Salka, you have to be a big girl now.

- Where are you going?
- I have to go to work.

- Can I come with you?
- That's not possible.

You need to go to school. Until then

you need to stay home
with your father.

And you have to take care of your rats.

They're called degus.

I know.

They're probably scared.

All alone in their cage.

I'm on my way.

That was quite something.

The house is a mess.

She's coming.

Anna? What explains this
big earthquake?

Is another volcanic
system waking up?

We will issue a statement
after the meeting.

Anna.

Your theory might explain
these earthquakes.

It isn't a theory.

It isn't logical. You said so yourself.

Not a single scientist has witnessed
the peninsula active until now.

The new data suggests
the old research may be wrong.

I have to go.

Remember the Kerlingarb�s eruption?

We didn't have conclusive
data back then,

but we were right.

The capital could be in danger.

Anna?

So, this could be nothing
out of the ordinary,

rather simply,

consequence of previous activity.

Anna,

what is your assessment of

the big earthquake earlier?

Ebba J�nsd�ttir and I have been discussing
a new theory about the possibility

of the six volcanic systems on the
peninsula being connected.

Connected?

Connected by a big magma chamber

deep in the earth.

It is a well-established fact that

the peninsula's volcanic systems are

separate systems.

Your father spent many years
drawing them up.

We could be facing much
greater danger.

Eruptions could occur
anywhere on the peninsula.

With little to no warning.

That is why I propose to initiate
an Emergency Phase.

Due both to the risk of
major earthquakes

and volcanic eruptions.

Do you hear yourself?

You're proposing what?
An evacuation?

Thirty thousand people live
on the peninsula

if we include the Reykjav�k suburbs.

And there are twenty-three thousand
tourists there as we speak.

What proof do you have
of this... theory?

May I suggest you
continue your research.

But at the moment,

there's no reason to initiate
an Emergency Phase.

Eir�kur, do you agree?

Yes.

Thank you all for coming.

Wait, we're not done here...

Eir�kur?

I think we're making a big mistake.

I know you've been under
a lot of stress...

A delicate rumor has reached
the council's members.

There's concern that...

you've been distracted...

In our jobs we carry

a lot of responsibility.

It's easy to

lose the big picture and
jump to conclusions.

But we need to be able to trust your
professional judgment.

My personal life has
nothing to do with my

professional judgment.

Something is happening
on the peninsula.

Something we can't explain.

Eir�kur had a perfectly
logical explanation.

What if I'm right?

Why don't you go see J�hannes.

He's in Kr�suv�k.

Perhaps you two can
compare books.

- ...which can cause an aftershock...
- Anna.

Anna!

You okay?

Massive earthquakes aside.

Sorry.

- It's fine.
- I had to see you.

Well.

- Hi.
- Hi.

I told my husband

about us.

What did you tell him?

That I love you.

My agent called a few days ago.

I've been offered to take part in this...
expedition to the north.

For how long?

I don't know.

This isn't my home.

I thought you knew that.

Anna.

Our world

is so beautiful.

It's guided by simple and perfect laws

and it's the task of science

to know them.

It's the greatest task a human
being can undertake.

The earth

moves at a different pace
than us humans

and has different plans, than us,

who scratch at its surface
for a brief moment in time.

The fiery heart in Earth's depths

sets its own course.

And all we can do... is listen.

HELP!

HELP!

Thank you.

Help is on the way.

Are you okay?

Stay calm, we are coming to help you.

- We just need to organize ourselves.
- English?

Okay. There are more rescuers coming.

I need to get to the
coordination center.

Immediately.

Another crevasse has opened
by the highway.

Thank you for coming at
such short notice.

Ebba and I have called you together

to present to you a theory

of a large magma chamber

that connects all the peninsula's
volcanic systems.

The cracks opening in Kr�suv�k
suggest that the magma

is making its way towards
the capital city as we speak.

Where it may come up,
we don't know.

What proof do you have of this?

None.

Apart from the development
happening in real-time.

That's why you're here.

We're asking you to think
beyond the research,

beyond what's written in
books and papers.

If the magma has entered
the Kr�suv�k system,

it could erupt on the
outskirts of the city.

Even though we've never had an
eruption further than B�rfell,

the volcanic system extends
much farther.

Have you discussed this theory
with J�hannes?

J�hannes went south to
install new meters.

We haven't heard from him.

As my research suggests,

older, more acidic magma could
be hiding on the peninsula.

Which could result in a
steam-blast eruption?

Same if the magma comes into
contact with groundwater.

What lakes are at the city limits?

Urri�avatn Lake,
Hvaleyrarvatn Lake and...

Elli�avatn Lake...

We need to alert all residents
of the southern suburbs

and evacuate at once.

You've reached Kristinn.

I'm not available but will call
back as soon as possible.

Daddy?

You've reached Kristinn.

I'm not available but
will call back...

Evacuation centers have been set up.

The Red Cross has started
receiving people.

I can't reach Kristinn.

What if he didn't get the alert?

What if he's still home?

We've got to trust the rescue teams.

Every house is being checked.

They'll be evacuated in time.

We have to trust that.

Something is happening.

Let's keep calm!

We'll start the backup generator.

Go to the evacuation center

and try to find them.

Anna, go,

but be careful.

The rescue team has
evacuated the suburbs

and all houses have been checked.

The evacuation has been successful
and people have followed orders.

The police has closed the area
due to heavy ashfall and gas polution.

We ask people to be cooperative,
and stay out of the area.

Says rescue team member...

- What school are you in?
- H�r�uvallask�li.

- Vatnsendask�li?
- I don't know.

- They're inside.
- Vatnsendask�li's inside!

I'm sorry.
They're not in the system yet.

I'm looking for my husband,
Kristinn Fjalar �rvarsson.

And my daughter,
Salka Kristinsd�ttir.

- She goes to Vatnsendi Elementary.
- Okay.

I see here...

Yes. Kristinn Fjalar, is found.

He should be here somewhere.

And Salka?

- Salka...
- Salka Kristinsd�ttir.

I don't see a Salka on the list.

Maybe a mistake in the system.

The schools are upstairs.

Salka!

Salka!

Salka!

M�ni.

Where's Salka?

She went home.

Home?

To get Almond and Raisin.

Almond and Raisin?

The degus.

Kristinn went back up.

To try to find her.

Oh my god.

Oh, jesus.

Anna. Hey!

- I'm so relieved, I thought...
- I need to go home.

No, no, no.

- You can't go.
- Salka is there.

What?

- No, the whole area's been evacuated.
- No.

She didn't come with her school.

All the roads have been blocked.

I have to find her!

I have to find her!

Hey! Stop!

The engine is dead.

We can't go any further.

Anna.

What are you doing?

I can't let you do this.

- Let me go!
- This is suicide. Don't you get it?

- You won't make it back.
- You don't understand.

I care!

I care about you, please.

Anna!

Kristinn!

Salka!

Kristinn...

Kristinn!

Kristinn!

Salka!

Kristinn!

Salka!

Salka!

Salka!

Salka!

Salka!

Mommy?

My love...
