You see the names are ironic, because Greenland is icy, while Iceland is lavaey.

Lava flowed over some geothermal pipes and poo poo and now the Sušurnes region (population circa 30.000 people) and Iceland's only international airport are without any form of heating in the dead of winter in -10°C. There's also some electicity outages so people are being limited to having one (1) electric heater per household as not to overload the system. This might be fixed tomorrow if they can redirect to a spare pipe nearby. If that pipe goes under there is no spare and it might be a few weeks until the problem is solved.

Which is not ideal.
I was reading an article about the hot water pipes and how it will leave people without hot water, do the houses there not have their own water heaters and all get hot water from geothermal heat?
