Re: Please pray for a tsunami/earthquake/volcano to strike Reykja
Erm... just to name a few:
Great disasters struck Iceland between 1400 and 1850. About two-thirds of the people died from the Black Death, which swept Iceland in 1402. Much of the Icelanders' livestock, crops, and farmland were destroyed by lava when volcanoes erupted in the years between 1750 and 1800. People died from not eating in the period from 1783 to 1790.
In the 1600's and 1700's, Denmark imposed harsh trade restrictions on Iceland. The Danish traders had bought fish from the Icelanders at low prices, and sold other items for very high prices. People became poor by having to buy at such high prices. During the Napoleonic Wars in the early 1800's, ships bringing food could not reach Iceland and many people starved to death.
And now you managed to cause a worldwide financial crisis too.
