Article's subtitle: "Many active volcanoes can be found on the seabed within Norway's maritime borders. Some are now only a few metres below sea level. "<p>The first para mentions that it's west of Jan Mayen ( <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jan_Mayen" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jan_Mayen</a> ).<p>So - not exactly high-value real estate. Even before you factor in the lush "above 70 degrees north, on the edge of the Greenland Sea" climate.
This headline instantly conjured up an image of Norwegian black metal bands thrashing away as a black basalt island rises slowly out of the abyss with smoke and fire and lightning...
How would this work? If suddenly a brand new island appeared, who owns it? Assuming it's off Norways coast, Norway owns it. But what happens if it's between two country coasts or nobodies?
The banner picture threw me off. I used to look at the silhouette of that island from my window on clear days and knew right away that was Iceland and not Norway.
