North Lake Lida, home of the Ice Hole, is a much quieter spot, something that is critical to its success, says Lucas Pike, a 33-year-old bartender from nearby Vergas.
Her cousin, Eric Norgren, who cooks at Hillbillies Vittles and tends bar at the Ice Hole, was just starting his bartending shift one weekend recently when he got a bite.
The eruption began March 20 beneath the Eyjafjallajokull glacier in southern Iceland, blowing a hole in the ice.
The search was hampered, Dr. Grokhovsky said, by officials of Russia's Emergency Situations Ministry, which sealed off the area around an 25-foot-wide hole in the ice of Lake Chebarkul, near Chelyabinsk, where a chunk was believed to have fallen.
