Escape the crowds in blue lagoon and visit other hot springs : www.janiniceland.com/hotsprings

Uncommonly beautiful videography. Your sense of story and how to “tell” it, visually, is of great practical importance, at a time of potential crisis. There is no “hype”, just cool, clear information and vivid imagery. A model of good communication.

This means a lot, I'm glad you enjoyed watching it, thank you for your kind words! 🙏

Was just in Iceland 3 weeks back. Its such a beautiful place with some of the nicest people in the world. I hope and pray this volcanic eruption will not be so serious. My prayers are with Iceland and its pple. 🇮🇸 stay safe everyone

Hi Jan, thanks for sharing the footage from the last Eruption of the Volcano. Like you mentioned with it being November there should be less tourists visiting the area. Wishing to best for those residing in the area and those affected by any eruptions.

Thank you for your comment, Ben. Yes, hopefully Grindavík town won't be affected by this and we'll get another friendly eruption like we did in last two years..

UPDATE 8.10: Tour company Reykjavík Excursions/FlyBus just suspended tours to Blue Lagoon for next three days due to safety concerns.

You have such a beautiful country that you can easily change itineraries and go see other wonders of Iceland. It’s more, much more than just the rekjajanes peninsula.

Excellent video. You relate the information using a storyboard of pictures, video footage and maps. I love watching volcanoes and lava flows, and Fagradrasfjall was a great tourist volcano. I hope this next one is as friendly, but it seems the Blue Lagoon and Grindavik may be in peril.

Their location however is a little unfortunate given that now we see the eruptions getting more and more frequent there so it is perhaps only a matter of time when they stand right in the path of lava

I was in Iceland just two weeks ago and enjoyed it. However, I was in the blue Lagoon on my first day to recover from Jetlag, but there were so many people with cameras filming back-and-forth that it wasn’t so relaxing. In Germany they don’t allow cameras in the thermal springs so it’s more relaxing there.

As for blue lagoon, to be honest in my years of living in Icelnad I've never even been there as I knew I would be annoyed by overpaying to be trying to relax in a crowded place. And like you've seen in my other comments, I believe there are other and better options on icelandic hot pool scene

Thank u for sharing the beautiful footage of magma flow n a possible scenario of how the eruption may look like. Up until now , i wouldnt be able to imagine what its meant by an eruption from the usual sense of the word of volcano coz Grindavik seems very flat n its like an area of calm except for the cracks the road n building n gaseous escaping from them. Cannot imagine a magma dyke underneath it. Why would a town be built over this or has condition changed as with unpredictable mother nature . Hope everything wil turn out ok n the magma will just flow into the sea without any any major eruption n the town n lagoon are spared of damages

Stay safe bro

I see a lot of people being nasty about visitors to the Blue Lagoon. We were just there and following the news about the eruption. At the time we went, a week before this video was posted, the channel of lava beneath the lagoon was unknown. We were assured that it was safe when we called. All sources were saying it was safe. We did go. It was amazing. Had we known about the channel, we wouldn’t have gone. Earthquakes do not mean anything to us (we’re from California) but lava is a whole mysterious world to us. Please remember that the information on this is changes hour by hour. Additionally, they shut it down Thursday 9th.

The groundwater in the area around Blue Lagoon, what are the chances of a phreatomagmatic eruption?

@janiniceland

8 ай бұрын

that's a great question which I wish I had an answer for. i am no expert but- I guess if magma goes through some of the underground water paths it could contribute to higher explosivity, however in that scenario I'm not sure there's enough water to categorise it as phreatomagmatic eruption. Please someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Soo if the eruption happens and the lava heads to the blue lagoon if takes it out will the blue lagoon be gone for good

@janiniceland

8 ай бұрын

Good question. As far as I know blue lagoon water comes from near geothermal power plant Svartsengi - if that goes under lava, then I am not sure if the water can eventually makes its way through the lava rock again or not

I wouldn’t do that if you want to be safe. There’s too many moss covered rocks to slip on, to say nothing about some of the crevices and also the possible scolding, hot pools to accidentally step in. Also, stepping on moss is really, I believe environmentally bad, and possibly illegal because once you’ve hurt the moss, it takes decades to regrow in this environment

So you are fully immersed in the pools... in winter weather... the volcano erupts... and you have to run to that parking lot a quarter mile away? Good luck, folks.
