Your reporting skills are just as exceptional as your footage. However, it really broke my heart to hear you say that the residents of Grindavik will be picking up their things and saying goodbye to their community for the last time. 😢

I can empathize to a degree, but I am not so foolish as to think I can fully understand the heartbreak the people of Grindavík must be suffering. I wonder if everyone was able to get pets and livestock to safety, but am afraid of the answer. How much of the native flora and fauna has been destroyed? I fear that there were species of plants and animals already on the brink of extinction that are now lost forever. This pale blue dot that we depend and reside on is ever-changing and succumbs to the ebb and flow of internal pressures from deep within. The fact that these changes are without prejudice or favoritism doesn't make it any less tragic or painful.

@@katiedotson704 The unrest in the area has been going on for a while and the town was evacuated already in November, people were hoping to be able to return but they would have evacuated their pets and livestock as well, I've heard it mentioned in other videos and it makes sense, you couldn't leave animals there on their own. Definitely if any were left, they will be taken away now that the people are leaving permanently. There's been no news of animals in danger. As for the flora and fauna, the lava flow was actually pretty small and didn't cover that big of an area so it's unlikely to have done damage to the local biodiversity - which has been through many such lava flows already throughout history.

I've been watching Iceland's evolving story since 2021 when 'Bob" 1st made an appearance. 'Bob' morphed into 'Nar', and became quite a show. By listening to the "experts" carefully through all of this, has painted a picture geologically speaking, that this is just the beginning. The recent group of eruptions, is the 1st of its' kind in about 800 years. And that Iceland goes through periods of 'dormancy' approximately every 700-800 years, and periods of eruptive activity of 1100-1300 years alternately. So it would seem that Iceland is in for quite a ride for the next 1,000 years or so. It would be essentially impossible to predict where a safe place might be. My heart goes out to you guys.

Thanks for the update. So much risk, affecting so many. The electric grid, during major east coast storms, could be shut down for a few hours and prevent long term outages (lasting days.) But, they don't, and just wait until the power goes off, and say, "we'll fix it as we can." It's maddening.

There may be poles that come down, but the biggest problem during storms is the loss of transformers. During an ice storm a few years ago, I could hear them popping like popcorn. It takes a long time to replace all those transformers that would have been fine if the power was off until after the storm passed. Larger transformers can take months to make, as well.

This whole event in Grindavik seems to be having a domino effect on the rest of the systems. There's been widespread uplift in the Reykjanes Peninsula because of the intrusions in Svartsengi since October 25 last year. This seems to be turning out pretty had. And there I had hoped that any eruptions would be far enough from towns that there'd be some time to prepare.

Building walls around Grindavik have been effective in diverting and slowing lava flows around that town. And the power plant is much better protected by a wall as well. Each of those was built based on the perceived threat at time. Because of the expense of building a wall say around Reykyavik would be expensive and so more data is needed to determine where the next wall should be built

The landscape is just stunningly beautiful, despite the threats… hoping for the very best for you all. My thoughts are with you and once again, thank you for your outstanding reporting and the amazing graphics and footage with it. One of the most beautiful places I’ve ever seen. So bittersweet.

It breaks my heart to think of how it must feel to be saying goodbye to the home you have lived in for years, after you took it from being just a house to a home full of memories. A nation's history is made up of individual experiences just like this, and I fervently hope that somehow all this pain and heartache can develop into a state of progress for Iceland and her people. Will the citizens of Grindavik who are in the fishing business still be able to moor their boats where they used to? I assume that there are primary processing facilities on site which will have to be moved elsewhere, but just having SOMETHING familiar to work around might help a little. As for your update, this is why you are my go-to guy for Iceland news. You cover not just the disasters but also the history and welfare of the.people, towns, and non-human creatures as well. You also wait long enough to have more of the "big picture" to relay to us outside Iceland rather than jumping on the nearest panic button. Your dry Icelandic sense of humor is always a delight. It has been nearly 40 years since I left Keflavik for the last time, and the memories of the locals who honored me with their trust and friendship I keep close to my heart. Take care, my friend.
