A volcano had erupted on Stefán Karl's birthday
Yesterday's post was about a translation and archival to a Facebook that Steinunn Ólína made on the occuasion, you can read it here!
In the post, she mentioned asking for an eruption for the occuasion from him and a few hours later a dormant volcano erupted in Iceland!
I have found an article detailing this information that I will translate and archive right here.
"Could you make a eruption on the occasion?"

Stefán Karl and Steinunn Ólína talked openly about the struggle with illness in their time. Photo credited to Valli from Vísir.
Earlier today, actress Steinunn Ólína Þorsteinsdóttir published a heartfelt post on her Facebook page where she remembers her husband, Stefán Karl Stefánsson, who died after a difficult battle with cancer in 2018. Stefán Karl would have turned 48 today.
Stefán Karl's battle with malignant bile duct cancer lasted for two years, the couple talked openly about the illness. Stefán Karl himself was a great fighter against bullying, since he founded, among other things, the organization Rainbow Children.
Stefán Karl was best known for his portrayal of the unlikable Robbie Rotten, who lived a good life within the walls of the children's story about Lazytown by Magnús Scheving, and he graduated from the Icelandic Drama School in 1999.
"Thank you, my Stebbi"
Together, Stefán Karl and Steinunn Ólína had two children, but before that she had two daughters. It is safe to say that the nation has cried with Steinunna Ólína at the death of Stefán Karl, who was a perennial source of joy. In the post she published this morning, she says:
Stefán Karl’s birthday is today 10.07, and he would have been 48 years old. There, Stebbi, Júlía Stefánsdóttir and Steini Stefansson are playing in Mexico, where Stefán chose to rest in the cradle of the Pacific Ocean.
“If anyone asks where I am when I’m gone, just say I’m in Mexico!” We know you’re in Mexico, love, but could you make a eruption on the occasion? You are with us every day with joy, love and warmth!
It seems that Stefán Karl made Steinunn Ólína's wish come true, because a few hours later, as is now well known, a volcanic eruption began near Reykjanes. Subsequently, Steinunn Ólína published a new post on Facebook where she simply writes: "Thank you my Stebbi!"

I love them so much.
He’s saying he loves her, and then wishing her a happy women’s day. Then he says he wants steak for dinner.
She says “Yes, of course, my love. (Written from the laundry)”
😂❤️

just a heads up to any british lazytowners/meme friends who are interested in watching the icelandic crime drama ‘case’ starring steinunn (stefán’s wife), all nine episodes are available to watch for free on channel 4!! you do have to register if you don’t have an account with them already, but it’s a minor inconvenience in the grand scheme of things.

Stefán Karl Stefánsson(Robbie Rotten) passed away 3 days ago. I'm really sorry, I didn't post it earlier, just I hadn't the possibility.
When I was younger I was watching the show "Lazy town" & I have a lot of memories. My favourite characters were Robbie and Sportacus!!! Even my parents remember his & of course this show.
When I found out about it, it was a chock for me. And my friends, which knew about this show, also were in shock.
Stefán Karl was really amazing and talented human. This is incalculable loss for all, who knew about his. Steinunn Ólína Þorsteinsdóttir was his wife, & they had three daughters and one son.
He was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2016 year. In August of 2017 he told about his recovery, but then said that, although metastases were successfully removed, the disease didn't recede.
However, in March 2018 Stefán Karl was diagnosed with an inoperable cholangiocarcinoma, and he received a chemotherapy course. In April, the actor refused further adjuvant therapy.
According to the representative of the family, the artist died in an environment of relatives and friends on August 21, 2018.
I hope that people will remember his.
Please, repost this information so that people know.

Serie de TV (2015-Actualidad). Un ferry con trescientos pasajeros procedente de Dinamarca atraca en el puerto de un pequeño pueblo islandés cuando arrecia en la zona una fuerte tormenta de nieve. El barco no puede abandonar el puerto hasta que pase la tormenta y las principales carreteras están intransitables. Un cuerpo mutilado y sin identificar aparece en el agua, asesinado hace tan sólo unas horas. El jefe de la policía local, Andri Olafssun, cuya vida privada se está desmoronando, se percata de que el asesino ha desembarcado en su pueblo. Mientras los rumores se propagan, la tranquilidad se convierte en caos y tanto los pasajeros del ferry como los habitantes del pueblo entienden que todos son posibles sospechosos y que hay un asesino atrapado entre ellos.

Takk fyrir allt “Trufli” minn.

You will be sorely missed.
Heartfelt condolences to Steinunn Olina Thorsteinsdottir and the family.

Hello! I love your blog, it always makes me smile. Would you happen to have that video of Steinúnn asking Stefán not to look in the trunk of the car because his Christmas presents are there, and Stefán making funny fake evil faces? I've lost it... That one and the one where he pretends to eat Rufus. Thanks in advance!
Hello there! Thank you for enjoying the blog, that makes me happy to hear ^^
