Where are the Azores?

Green­land. On 8 April 1941, the United States occupied Green­land in order to defend it against a possible invasion by Germany. After the end of WW2, the United States wished to keep the island for strate­gic reasons and offered $100,000,000, but Denmark refused to sell.

Iceland, having area of 103 000 km², is larger than Ireland (84 406 km²). Other European islands are much smaller.

Volcano erup­tion. The city was covered with py­ro­clas­tic flow, con­sist­ing of su­per­heat­ed steam and volcanic gases, with tem­per­a­tures ex­ceed­ing 1,075 °C (1,967 °F). One of the sur­vivors was held in an un­der­ground cell in the town's jail.

Atlantic Ocean. The Hebrides are an ar­chi­pel­ago off the west coast of mainland Scot­land. They rep­re­sent the last Gaelic-s­peak­ing strong­hold in the country.
