UPDATE : Saturday 10th - No visible signs of ongoing eruption.

thanks Jan.

Hope you’re all safe.We arrive in 4 weeks and can’t wait.Thank you so much for the updates.

I'm visiting in a few weeks. A little gutted the Blue Lagoon probably won't be open again in time. However, I'm more concerned about the locals without hot water. Yet I will enjoy everything else Iceland has to offer. Thanks for your clear update.

Excellent and informative video Jan, thanks.

Very informative!!! Thank you Jan 👌🏻

Hi Jan. The hot water pipes above ground were destroyed, BUT there were pipes dug underground in case this had occurred, which it did. Work has been ongoing to reconnect the underground pipe system with the two ends on either side of the lava flow. Which should be completed some time tomorrow. The airport does not have hot water and residents are being asked to conserve hot water until the repairs are complete. The rate of lava production and flow have decreased a lot since a few hours ago. So this round may be coming to and end sooner than later. Let Us Hope. We shall see how fast the scientists get onto the magma dyke filling back up and if it does so as quickly as before. It was reported that the airports is running as usual with no delays, and all partner airlines are making arrangements and changes to deal with the current situation. So no flights are not impacted at this time as was reported a few hours ago.

Hi Jan, thanks for this update about the current Volcanic Eruption in Iceland. Hoping for the best in regard to all those involved with this eruption.

The activity in peninsula is likely to continue for up to 300 years. That doesn’t mean it will erupt monthly (ish) for hundreds of years, it just means that the area will experience regular eruptions and magmatic intrusions. Iceland is basically just erupted material from the hot spot (mantle plume) underneath it, which sits right under the mid Atlantic Ridge. A chain of submarine volcanic mountains running the length of the Ocean.

Great video, I was just looking for latest news and drone shots. Be safe and keep us updated. Its both scary and fascinating with that eruption. 🌋

Thanks for the update.🙂

None of this would put me off, I’m not worried & as I keep up with the news I know my safety isn’t in danger. Wouldn’t be staying anywhere on the Reykjanes Peninsula! Besides I need to come back to do what Covid prevented me doing a few weeks ago 😚

The eruption seems to be dying down, you can check the live web cams here :

Hi Jan. Thanks for this video. Super helpful. Heading to Iceland in March/April. Should it be cleared by then?
