Love the concise explanation on the feedback loop. I didn't realize lava was so great at making itself. (Found your channel a few weeks ago and haven't been able to stop binging it. Thanks for making such quality videos!)

what's your favourite theory as to why a plume exists under Iceland?
My favourite guess is that it is its own feedback loop simply because something between the core and the mantle is a sort of explanation without explaining anything
And what about bits of ancient Greenland stuck in the Icelandic landmass.. is that itch that is constantly being scratched?
