@ChristopherRandles Referring to the ongoing event from just before market creation! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2023_Iceland_earthquakes
I have a longstanding fear of earthquakes so this is my most distressing market bet 😅
is 5.2 still the top?
With the quakes calming down since Sunday, this is now a question of whether an eruption will occur this year. In 2014 there was a 5.7 but no eruption.
