Welcome to CNN 10.

Happy Friday Eve.

It's Thursday, November 14th.

I'm Coy Wire.

We've got a great show stacked for you today, so let's get started.

Now, we begin in the land of fire and ice, Iceland, where a natural phenomenon is raising some that has both glaciers and volcanoes.

There are 32 active volcanoes on the island nation that's only about the size of the states of Kentucky or Virginia or Ohio.

And we've seen an uptick in volcanic eruptions in Iceland in recent years.

Scientists there are studying whether an increase in the melting glaciers due to rising temperatures across the world could be causing more volcanic eruptions there.

CNN's Elisa Rafa has more.

A land of ice and fire, Iceland is renowned for both its stunning volcanoes and glaciers.

But scientists are now studying whether climate change is affecting the balance between these two natural wonders.

Around two million tourists visit Iceland each year, many hoping to see an active volcano showering red hot lava or get a glimpse of a cool blue glacier thousands of years old.

But researchers say there could be a connection between melting glaciers which are shrinking because of rising global temperatures and the frequency of volcanic eruptions.

Iceland is essentially one of the best places in the world to study this.

It's a natural laboratory because we have both volcanism and glaciers.

So at the moment, about 10 percent of Iceland is covered by glaciers and we have over 32 active volcanoes here.

Scientists say the Askjall volcano in Iceland's central highlands has risen about 80 centimeters in the past three years because of pressure building underneath it that's pushing the ground upwards.

The theory is that magma or pressurized gas under a volcano increases as glaciers melt because the heavy ice no longer weighs down the Earth's crust, allowing magma to move more freely underground.

And those subterranean pressure changes can permeate to areas which aren't directly under glaciers like Askjall, which is just north of the country's largest glacier.

But with recent eruptions in Grindvik, a town in southwest Iceland, which not only put on a spectacular lava show, but also forced the evacuation of the town's residents, scientists are eager to learn more about what's triggering such volatility.

There are many benefits of volcanoes.

All the geothermal heat, we heat all the houses with geothermal, so lots of benefits.

But now with the activity in southwest Iceland where a lot of property has been destroyed and people need to move out, we are again reminded about how hazardous volcanoes are.

Preliminary results in one study show that in the last three decades, magma beneath Iceland was produced at a rate two to three times what it would have been without ice loss.

A possible pressure cooker lurking in one of the world's most picturesque places.

Ten Second Trivia.

The Louvre Museum in Paris was originally built to be a fortress, an iron factory, a space observatory, or a museum?

Answer is fortress.

The Louvre, the largest museum in the world, contains more than five hundred thousand works of art.

It was originally commissioned as a fortress by King Philip II in 1190 AD to protect the city of Paris.

About 300 miles north of the Louvre in Paris, in the Netherlands, we find another one of the world's most famous museums, the Rijksmuseum in the city of Amsterdam.

It's home to Dutch masterpieces by artists like Vermeer, Van Gogh, and Rembrandt.

And Rembrandt's world-renowned painting Nightwatch is getting a touch-up.

We're going to learn how a group of restorers are using careful techniques to discover the story behind the painting, and how Rembrandt was able to put this enormous work together nearly 400 years ago.

Rembrandt's monumental painting, the Nightwatch, has always been a star of Amsterdam's Rijksmuseum.

But now you can see the story behind the 1642 masterpiece, which measures at a grand 12 by 14 and a half feet like never before.

After five years of exhaustive research, a team of eight restorers are starting a grand public preservation project that's open for all to see.

We are now removing the old varnish of the Nightwatch, and we are using a synthetic non-woven tissue to do this, and in this tissue we have a very limited amount of solvent.

We apply the tissue on the paint surface for a very limited amount of time, and then take it off, and with that we remove the bulk of the old varnish.

The removal of the old varnish aims to preserve the painting, as well as to give insight on its condition and Rembrandt's techniques and process.

As well, you can see on the paint surface there are many old discolored retouchings.

They often have been applied very broadly, covering original paint, so we want to remove those and apply new, fine retouchings.

It's really a next phase of Operation Nightwatch.

Researchers at Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute have discovered a new species of The new species is nicknamed Mystery Mullisk.

It's the first known sea slug to swim in parts of the ocean that are 1,000 to 4,000 meters below the surface and untouched by sunlight.

Scientists describe the new sea slug as having a gelatinous hood, a flat tail with finger-like projections, and colorful organs in the middle.

It can also light up with bioluminescence to scare off predators.

Researchers say they first spotted the species in February of 2000 off of California's Monterey Bay.

It was during a dive with a robotic camera, and they've been studying it ever since.

Today's story getting a 10 out of 10.

A new baby pygmy hippo joining the ranks of swoon-worthy internet sensations.

The cute calf comes to us not long after another baby pygmy hippo named Mudang in Thailand stole our hearts.

CNN's Jeremy Roth introduces us to Haggis.

Animal lovers and activists rejoice.

A brand new endangered pygmy hippo calf was just born and she is a cutie pie.

Born at Scotland's Edinburgh Zoo, the pint-sized pachyderm is just days old and is being closely monitored.

And get this, her name is Haggis.

This thing writes itself.

Haggis is already a social media star, of course, leaving the platform formerly known as Twitter all, uh, Twitter.

But maybe the best part, her arrival provides a much-needed boon to the endangered pygmy hippo population, which has reportedly dwindled to a mere 2,500 worldwide.

All right, that's all we have time for for now.

Our shout-out today is going to West Jordan, Utah.

All my friends at Sunset Ridge Middle School, keep shining bright.

You are more powerful than you know.

Thanks to all of you for spending part of your day with us here on CNN 10.

We'll do it again tomorrow.
