Thanks for the coolest update on the web on the situation in Grindavik. I love your outtakes, it makes you even more likeable 😊

You do such a great job with these updates! Interesting to learn how the gravel roads are added.

This was very informative & interesting. Thank you very much for that! Great drone footage an all 👍🏻

Fantastic update on the present situation, thanks.

Excellent update! So glad IR has started doing these. See you next week

Thank you Alina for your very informative video.

Thanks, Alina and Art. See you next week.

Thanks very much. I follow Shawn Willsey and Gylfi (JustIcelandic) for some time already so I am pretty much aware of what's going on. Still you provide up-close footage of stuff giving even more insights, keep up the good work !

The same for me. Very fresh and subtle approach! Keep up the good work Alina. Thank you!

Love the real person report,you are endearing hope you don't try to sound A.I.

The magma-camber were the lava come from is right under your feet. It’s can be really hot there. They make so much money but they take a big risk. They have evacuated 5 or 6 times.

great update very informative thank you

Thank you for this latest video. Really informative. I was surprised by the Blue Lagoon’s plans to expand. Hope it will work out. Great to learn more about the lava in this eruption. I agree, that the current formation, resembles the lava from the 2021 eruption. Again Takk for a great video. Can’t wait to see the next one. 🌋👍🏼😉

Thank you Alina and Art 👏🥳

We just recently visited your wonderful country in late April. Thanks for the update. You did a very good job, with a brief and fact filled commentary with very clear video images.

Love this Grapevine-style episode. Alina and Art were both part of their team before? I will subscribe for sure!

Well done, to you both. Great report 👍

Great and thank you 🙏 for sharing and uppdating.. I was following Grindavik on KZread since the begining of this year. Very fascinated by seeing the Active Volcano. In ther thand feel sympatic to many people who must laave the town.. Then in June some thai freinds of mine visited me then we took a trip to ICELAND (first time of our lives) - but never got any exprience for BLUE LAGOON - Casue of Road was closed. We explored the East Side of Reykjavik and have seen a lot akibg RIADNO. 1 to Vik Town. Stayed some nights nearby.. Wonderful time for us. So next summer, JUNE 2025, we shall explore the North West of ICELAND... Hope that will see more exciting natural places. Best Wishes from STOCKHOLM - SWEDEN 🌲🌲🌲🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🍃🍃🥀🥀

Great presentation love your voice

I just stumbled on this video and find it one of the better ones explaining the situation in Grindavik and the surrounding area. Thank you so much! ClaudiaSJI

Excellent update, thank you from Nova Scotia, Canada.

What a lovely and informative and chirpy lady !

Thank you for this video. I don’t understand why the Blue Lagoon every time opens again and again as soon as possible and till the last minute. They take a high risk with tourists safety, they worry about money and don’t inform the tourists right. I safety first and then the money. There are so many other thermal pools in Iceland, send them there where it’s safe. Greetings from the Netherlands.

Amazing that people are going to the B.L,

Very good reporting. Thank You. Be careful.

They are down to one road? What if something happens to that one? Can’t the wind direction change? This seems unwise in the extreme

Thank you for a lovely and interesting genuine person update. 😅

Lots of nice interesting news details, great images of the volcano. Is the new lava from a deeper source ?

Thanks for your updates,they are very informative🇦🇺🇦🇺

thank you alina

I wonder if the tourists had to sign something that they possibly could die or get injured.

Wonderful presentation, and a good picture of what's happening. Alina was great.

I wouldn’t be doing any expansions until this is over.

10:00 The most of Russians will never see a road of this quality.

We'll be in Iceland this summer, and we absolutely *refuse* to book at Blue Lagoon right now. Not worth it. We will visit other touristy spots instead. The risk at Blue Lagoon is much too high, and it could become deadly in an instant. Such a ridiculous risk. The callous disregard for safety and the runaway greed that Blue Lagoon has shown has driven us - and plenty of other *ethical* tourists - far, far away. We also think it is grotesque of tourists to demand to wallow around in a dangerous active distaster area while locals are still working overtime to save what they can. Seriously, how *CRUEL* can people be? It's utterly disgusting to try to invade an abandoned town in the middle of an emergency, like a ghoul gloating over the destruction of other people's lives. This isn't some trashy themepark for the kiddies to play in, it's a life-threatening, ongoing DISASTER, and people's HOMES.. Behaviour betrays who people really are.

@@ubernerrd pretending that people "deserve" abuse because of their circumstances is revealing behaviour. It reveals a lack of empathy/smugness over completely unearned privilege. By that "criteria", ALL Americans "deserve" abuse, simply for living in areas with risks - earthquake prone areas, over the Yellowstone volcanic area, in "Tornado Alley", in drought areas like NM or Texas, or in the flood prone poverty stricken SE, high density areas vulnerable to pandemics, rural areas vulnerable to poverty... Abusers harm others because THEY ARE FAULTY, not because their victims "deserve" it.

I would consider it intelligent. Why not use it? It was in a good spot (before the recent volcanic activity) and it is just as much water that was heated by the earth as a natural hot spring. Humans just brought the heat to the water.

It’s just hot water that’s no longer hot enough to produce energy. If you have any intellectual curiosity at all, the information about the power plant and health benefits of the lagoon are available via simple google searches.

Breathing in the pollution is dangerous.It's a money making venture for rich 'silly' tourists.

Near-death tourism is trending....

@MikeGreenwood51

Ай бұрын

There is a clear and present danger. Access and depature roads have been cut off by lava flows and one fissure eruption started just out side the Town with a lava flow flowing in to the Towns northern perimeter housing area where it burnt houses to the ground. A fissure could open at any time right with in the Town center. If such an eruption happened with all the houses occupied and hotels full of tourists then the immediat order designated by sirens wailing would be to evacuate. Such an immediate emergency evacuation would include security, the fire fighters, the Police and all. The hurry would be to get out of the eruption area before roads are cut of. There is going to be no one there to spay water canons on burning property. It may look cool on an internet screen. But a million tons of molten hot lava is anything but cool. A volcano is so hot that even fire fighters or fire engine trucks can not be near. Nor with in a hundred meters or 2 hundred meters or far more as spitting lava can spit much further than just the immediat vent. Therefore the Fire Fighting crews will also evacuate to safety or relative safety. Then there is also five known toxic gases which are heavier than air and so the Town could be engulfed in a deadly toxic gas. No one there handing out gas masks or rushing people to hospitals. If Grindavik went boom. There would not even be a shop left open to sell a person a plaster or burn soothing lotion.

I think that all of you were wrong Iceland has made the right decision for the people of Grindavick and the Blue lagoon employees this is the largest employer in Iceland as I understand I've never been to Iceland and I don't plan on ever going there I am interested in the geology but it has swept me up into the politics of Iceland.

Lol. Dumb

How many of the people in water now r having a pee in the water it's about time they close it down health and safety
