Couldn’t make it to the vikings/names conference organised by @SNSBI_official but very lucky to hear Birna Lárusdóttir talk today about her recent research trip to #Surtsey to collect data about #placenames and their stories on the 50-yr-old island. Incredibly exciting research. pic.twitter.com/ikJ3rWZZXn— Dr Emily Lethbridge (@lethbridge_e) October 19, 2019
