On May 11th of 1721, the volcano KATLA erupted in Iceland and spewed
reindeer into the sea. Approximately 30 of them locked horns and floated in
a raft-like way to the nearby island of Kliis. To this day the island of
Kliis bears a green-eyed strain of reindeer genetically distinct from the
Icelandic herd.
