First Evidence Of Under-Ice Volcanoes In Antarctica
An anonymous reader writes "The first evidence of a volcanic eruption from beneath Antarctica's ice sheet has been discovered by members of the British Antarctic Survey. The volcano on the West Antarctic Ice Sheet began erupting some 2,000 years ago and remains active to this day. Using airborne ice-sounding radar, scientists discovered a layer of ash produced by a 'subglacial' volcano. It extends across an area larger than Wales."
I know Americans are bad at geography, but Antarctica isn't anywhere near New Jersey. FYI.
Really? So they shouldn't consider themselves Danes then? Because they usually do.
And what about the people from Holland that actually call themselves Nederlanders (but the English-speaking world calls them Dutch)?
And what about the German descendents in Pennsylvania that called themselves Deutsch, but the Americans call them Dutch because they never thought words could be different in different languages. To the point where Arnie, an Austrian, gets to play a character called Dutch in the movie Predator.
In summary: Denmark is that bit that juts up to the north of Germany and has islands that stretch to Sweden. The Dutch live in the Netherlands, just north of Belgium and due east of East Anglia in England.
Shiny. Let's be bad guys...
