The Diamond Sutra (Vajracheddikā Prajña Pārāmitā Sutra in Sanskrit) has the distinction of being 'the earliest complete survival of a dated (11 May 868) printed book’.

Am 8. Juni 1783 brach der isländische Vulkan Laki aus. An diesem Tag öffnete sich eine Spalte mit 130 Kratern, Grundwasser traf auf das aufsteigende Basaltmagma, riesige Explosionen waren die Folge. Jon Steingrimson, Pfarrer aus Sída in Südostisland, war Augenzeuge eines der größten Vulkanausbrüche der Geschichte.
