I am a climate scientist and geologist and think that climate, geology, and geography are incredibly interesting fields that people deserve to know more about. If you have any questions that you’ve sat with for a while, are just curious, want to know more about future or past scenarios, or even have worldbuilding questions, feel free to ask!

those rock piles are a big nuisance in Iceland, we have our own centuries old waymarkers that can still serve a purpose as long as the tourists stop making new ones

Yes for many cultural and geological/biological reasons stacking stones is not great, but I’d ask that anybody reading this not reopen the stacking rocks struggle session that I prompted once by asking people not to

ohh yeah, dear tourists it's fine to stack rocks on beaches and stuff, like there is a great spot near Harpa, the concert hall, just not on the highlands

Can I stack rocks in my bedroom?

Sure, unless your bedroom is in the highlands
