Totally off topic and MPSIMSy, but worth mentioning -- National Geographic a while ago posted what I think is one of my favorite pictures of all time: Your POV is just back from the edge of a somewhat-verdant cliff top, looking dowin into a valley below through which hikers are, well, hiking, with a similar somewhat-verdant cliff on the other side of the valley. Sounds like just a nice people-in-nature photo, right? Well, that's true, but:
It's taken in Iceland.
You're standing, literally, on the edge of the North American Plate.
The hikers are walking up the Mid-Atlantic Rift.
The opposite cliff? The Eurasian Plate.

That's the one! I misremembered it as being grassy on the cliffs.

I'm amazed of the good effort that Google Chrome translation does:

Webcams:

In case of error is good to wait about 30 seconds and try again.
If an error occurs, please wait 30 seconds and Then refresh the page.

Eyjafjallajökull from Thorolfsfell

Eyjafjallajökull from tracks [Hvolsvelli]

Eyjafjallajökull from Valahnúk

If you have Google Chrome, the translator option appears and you can press the button to translate, I was surprised that it detected "Icelandic". It is clear however that "tracks" should be left as Hvolsvelli.
