    Background: While the rest of us watched, the islanders of Heimaey ran, and for half a year, the volcano that buried their town, went on pouring out lava.

    That was over four years ago. Now, the island near Iceland is still hot in places, most of the people are back home, and Fred Briggs finds that they and the earth are remarkably changed.
