Why do Mexicans prefer to emigrate & work in Iceland or in Dubai or Abu Dhabi (United Arab Emirates)?
What is the Mexican main motivation to emigrate and explore new countries and cultural frontiers? Is it the money, like with Anglos was? Like when the medieval europeans came to the Western Hemisphere in search of El Dorado and all the golden artifacts made by Mayas, Aztecs and Incas?

He's certainly managing to keep it up for a long time.
2 :
No I think it has to do with a buildup of pressure under the volcano. Iceland sits on the mid atlantic ridge and is also a volcanic hot spot like hawaii, so it's a prime spot volcanism.
3 :
Yes. Should we expect him to smoke a cosmic cigarette now?
4 :
I don't think a Greek God has anything to do with volcanic eruptions in Iceland. I'd blame the Etins, Surt and the fire giants first.
5 :
A Greek God wouldn't mess with Iceland. The Norse Gods would kick his ass. On a side note: The last time that volcano erupted, it stayed very active for almost 2 yrs in the 1830's

1 :
Surnames, which exist from generation to generation in other European cultures, are rare in Iceland. In Iceland, the father's first name is used as the base to the child's last name. For example, Baldur Þórsson and Freyja Óðinsdóttir have two children, KristÃn and Björn. The children's last names would be KristÃn Baldursdóttir and Björn Baldursson. It is also possible to make a last name using the name of the mother, but it is uncommon.
2 :
Your last name would be your father's name followed by either son or dottir (daughter in Icelandic). For example: If your father's last name is Stefan, your last name would be either Stefansson or Stefansdottir, depending on your gender. Obviously, if you're a girl you're Stefansdottir (aka Stefan's daughter), a boy, Stefansson (Stefan's son). It's very rare to have a family name - most family members will have different names. Oh, and women don't take their husband's last name when they get married. Everyone just keeps their surname.
3 :
In Iceland surnames are usually formed by taking the first name of one's father, putting it in the genitive and adding "son" (which means "son") or "dóttir" (which means "daughter") behind it. So if a woman has a father named Gunnar, her surname will be Gunnarsdóttir. If a man has a father named Gunnar, his surname will be "Gunnarsson". So siblings don't always have the same surname and their parents have surnames that are made out of THEIR fathers' names, so in a family of four you might have four different surnames. It is allowed to use the first name of one's mother instead of the father, but it's not very common. There do exist a few family names in Iceland that are passed on from generation to generation, but they are not very common, there are only a few families in Iceland that still use them. People in those families can choose whether they use their family name or whether they form their surname from the name of a parent like most people do. People don't get the surname of their spouse when they get married. We generally keep the same surname all our life.

a typical day in the summer for me went kind of like this: Wake up around 5 or 6, because the sun is streaming into my window. We've got near constant sunshine in the peak of summer so sometimes you only go on a few hours of sleep. Eat a light breakfast and drive to work sometime between 8 or 9. Everything is close in the town so the drive is 2-3 minutes. When the weather is nice I like to walk the 15 minutes to work. Lunch break at noon. Usually gone for 1 hr to 1 1/2 hours. Back to work, leave for home at 5. Have dinner with family and or friends by 6 or 7. Relax and enjoy the endless summer day until 1 or 2 when I should be in bed so I won't be too tired for work tomorrow. On the weekends I like to stay out till 5am or 6am so I can hang out with friends. We usually enjoy each others' company over drinks somewhere outside. We love basking in the light of the midnight sun. In the winter, it's very much the same schedule except I have considerable less energy, because of the lack of sunlight. I want to sleep in every day and go back to sleep quite early - usually 10 or 11.
