What is geoscience?
Geoscience (also called Earth Science) is the study of Earth. Geoscience includes so much more than rocks and volcanoes, it studies the processes that form and shape Earth's surface, the natural resources we use, and how water and ecosystems are interconnected. Geoscience uses tools and techniques from other science fields as well, such as chemistry, physics, biology, and math! Read more...

So... there is basically no one in Iceland.
How is 300,000 people "no one"? That's a lot of people, other countries having more doesn't change that.
For a city? Yes
For a country? Not so much
0.00000375 of a percent of the worlds population.
At this point if rather have quality over quantity
0.00000375% of the world's population is 300, not 30,000. I don't think math's your strong suit. Not that fractions of the world's population should be a metric for whether we care about a disaster.
That seems small enough to be a rounding error
TIL I'm basically no one :c
Iceland birthed Sigur Ros and Bjork. You're historically the most important country on earth in my book.
Funny that you're downvoted so heavily, my Icelandic buddy just nodded along at this statement
Yeah, I was baffled how empty it is when I visited. Their capital is like a district in most other capitals.
Still beautiful though.
We were told as much when we visited. Apparently they get upwards of a million tourists a year, three times their actual population.
