mc5 - AVMA Take 2

Yes, it's another round of that classic guessing game - Animal, Vegetable, Mineral, Abstract [or any combination thereof].

Patience, integrity and a decent search engine may be useful ....

CdM

Only in Iceland? Yes.

Boolbar

Does it begin with a K (in Icelandic)?

I'm surprised this is taking so long; I would have thought it was easy to guess by this point.

Bismarck

The amount of lava erupted from a volcano?
