The movie Alien famously had the tag line "In space, no one can hear you scream" ...

| Silent Screaming .... |
... well those clever clogs at Visit Iceland, have found a clever way of marketing that idea.
They have set up a website, where those driven to wanting to scream by the never ending lockdowns that we are all having to endure, can do so, and then have that scream broadcast via speakers at full volume to remote parts of Iceland.

| Festarfjall Volcano: No Technicians Were Hurt Placing The Loud Speakers .... |
These locations include the peak of the Festarfjall volcano, and the Skogafoss waterfall. All you have to do is record the scream via your PC microphone. That is then uploaded and saved by the website, and it can then be broadcast to an indifferent world ... this kind of story reminded me of the old question. If a tree falls in the forest with no one there to hear it, does it make a sound .... or is it more like the sound made by one hand clapping?
So if no one hears you scream, have you screamed at all?
