We are never too old to learn new things. I have learned so much since 2018 when I followed the eruption evolving on Hawaii and now learning since 2021 when the Fagradalsfjall eruption on Iceland. It is fascinating.

@teardowndan5364

We may not know for certain but we do have at least two main contenders: 1) the existing eruption gaining intensity, which it may already be but hidden due to most of the lava flowing under the lava pool's rising crust and 2) the fissures re-opening to let the excess inflow out #1 is likely already happening as a matter of basic fluid dynamics: more inlet pressure + same pipes + same outlet pressure = more flow, albeit impeded by viscosity, boundary layer drag at the walls, bends, etc. #2 is only a matter of time based on previous events. Previous eruptions occurred between 8M and 13M cubic meters reservoir capacity, it was around 10M a few days ago, may have passed the 11M mark by now. We're maybe a week away from the reservoir reaching its highest estimated capacity to date. When it goes, I wouldn't be surprised if the old fissures lit up beyond the three destroyed houses in Grindavik.

@@teardowndan5364 Agree with you there. I thinking along a broader sense, the peninsula, the ocean ridge alongside and everywhere else like Hekla and Katla that have been so quiet of recent, not to mention the less well known areas. I wonder how big Iceland will become, the next North America or Europe sized (it has unimaginable potential).

Your videos are priceless documentation. And more than that, they are beautifully done!

Thank you for this update it’s an unknown quantity at the moment unfolding as we watch… such a privilege

I imagine that the scientific community has learned a lot from these eruptions, especially since they are so accessible these days.

@shiraz1736

Ай бұрын

Not really there have been years of eruptions studied around the word, it’s probably the most questionable scientific study you could claim to have. Every one of the so called scientists has basically said. “We may have an eruption today, but the eruption could take another week that depends on a lot of factors that we can’t calculate, but the intrusion could also stop overnight and this could be a failed intrusion and things could go back to normal”. Go and look at the predictions a tarot card reader could be a volcanologist after reading a few geology books.

Thank you, Gilfi, great coverage as usual.

Beautiful images of a beautiful and terrifying event. Thank you for keeping us informed. I hope the best for you and your co-citizens…

Thank you. It is indeed historie in the making and a great learning curve for the experts. It is a sign of healthy debate that they not always agree.

It is rare to see nowadays reporting being made with so much passion, honesty and personal integrity. My hat is off. I am not sure whether it is in the cards, but I think that you could made a great job making a series of short interviews with the people that were forced to leave their hometown and now had to adjust to live elsewhere. How they have been impacted and how they find their way in short, medium and eventually long term.

It is sad that the town of Grindavik is losing homeowners, but I understand that the people who lived there need to move on with their lives. You made a previous video about the numerous faults and fissures throughout the town that are the reason why people can't live there again without a huge effort to rebuild the infrastructure. The GPS measurements showed how the two was stretched by around 2 meters in November 2023 through January 2024 due to the magma intrusion at depth. Even though it only reached the surface in a small flow, that stretching is permanent damage to almost everything both underground and on the surface.

I don’t think boredom will ever be a problem in your life!

Wonderful photo footage. Beautiful! Thanks for sharing! 😊

This is what continues to break my heart - that you all cannot be certain about anything or plan for the future.

Thank You Gylfi. If there is one thing I have learned from Geomorphology and earthquake theory, it is that whatever you expect to happen, seldom does, so you have to expect the unexpected. Your observations of this eruption, I am sure, will be of great value to future vulcanologists. Take care and I am sending you best regards and wishes from NZ.

The wonders of Mother Nature, awesome. But it is so sad to see that the community of Grindavik will not be saved. I can't imagine the emotions of having to leave your home and community knowing that things will never be the same. I'm sure that some still had hope that someway they would be able to move back. Thank you Gylfi for your heart felt comments and your amazing talent that you share with us all.

Stunning footage as always. I stopped the video at 6.04 and compared it to 6.14. Amazing contrast.❤ Whenever you make this documentary, I will enjoy it no matter when it happens. I think you will have more to film before making it♥As you say, uncertain times ahead. Good luck from Ireland🍀🍀

Thanks so much, yet again, for a wonderfully thorough update - accompanied by steller video! Let us hope that when the magma chamber DOES decide to empty itself out, it decides to do so in a civilized manner, via the currently erupting vent, so as to merely add more to the existing valley-fill, with any excess flowing to the coast to help create an even better harbour for Grindavik! 😉

Will they be increasing the heights of the berms, especially where the lava has overtopped them? It seems awfully quiet.
