Iceland firm to set up cold store in Kinnaur.
Nov 22, 2023

An Iceland-based company, Geotropy Iceland, will set up a controlled atmosphere (CA) store at Tapri in Kinnaur district on a pilot basis. A pact in this regard was inked by the Himachal government and Geotropy Iceland on Saturday. 
 
Seismic activity in southwestern Iceland has decreased in intensity, but the risk of a volcanic eruption remains significant. Nearly 4,000 people were evacuated over the weekend due to the fear of molten rock reaching the surface. The Icelandic Meteorological Office states that there is a 'significant likelihood' of an eruption in the coming days. Uncertainty remains about the potential damage that could occur. Experts believe that the risk of eruption in the town of Grindavik is smaller, but residents across Iceland are shocked by the situation.
Years of uncertainty ahead for Iceland volcano town
Residents of the Icelandic town of Grindavik, which was evacuated due to the threat of a volcanic eruption, are uncertain about whether they will return. The town has experienced a barrage of earthquakes and significant damage to buildings and infrastructure. Even if the volcanic activity subsides, there are concerns about the long-term safety of living in the area. Volcanologists believe that this could be the start of a new era of volcanic activity in the region, leaving residents unsure about rebuilding their homes. Despite the challenges, there is a resilient community spirit among the residents.
900 tremors hit town in Iceland, scores shifted
Southern Iceland experienced around 900 earthquakes on Monday, adding to the thousands of tremors that have been occurring in the region recently. This has raised concerns about a potential volcanic eruption, leading to the evacuation of nearly 4,000 people. The uncertainty surrounding the situation and the potential damage that could occur is causing anxiety. The Reykjanes peninsula, where this is happening, is known for its volcanic and seismic activity, with recent volcanic activity occurring in 2020, 2021, and 2022.
