In 2018, anthropologists Cymene Howe and Dominic Boyer of Rice University filmed a documentary about its loss, Not Ok, and proposed a commemorative plaque. The plaque was installed on August 18, 2019, with an inscription written by Andri SnΓ¦r Magnason, titled “A letter to the future”, in Icelandic and English. The English version reads:
