Will This Giant Wall Protect The Blue Lagoon?
I went to take a closer look at the wall that is meant to protect The Blue Lagoon in the next eruption. Another eruption is near certain to happen and experts believe that the next one could happen with little to no advanced warning. This wall could make all the difference during an evacuation. I also took a look at the destruction left by the last eruption and it shocked me just how close the lava was to to The Blue Lagoon.
What do you think? Would you trust this wall? Are you going to the Blue Lagoon? Let me know in the comments.
Do you get value from my videos? You can buy me a coffee with this link :)

Yea me too. I'm going to remain hopefully optimistic.
Thank you for the update. I’d been wondering how things were going.

What is most concerning is that lava cannot be stopped; only diverted. Molten rock weighs in at around 3 metric tonnes per cubic metre or more, and the volcano spewing this molten terror out puts enormous force behind it. If that wall is high enough to divert the lava, all well and good. But what if lava exceeds the wall's height, like when it encroached those two mines? I only hope the Blue Lagoon executive see good sense and keep the place closed. If, that is, they put safety before danger? 😒

I don't think the same executive has the good sense. But they are being forced to keep closed for the time being. That's something. That wall is doing an incredible job so far diverting the lava from Grindavik. I agree with your concern. If this keeps going for long it probably won't be enough.
It wont. Lava will win. BTW - Can you ship me that broken 50 sign?....I could "cough" use it for my collection. :)

😅. Speaking of. I did hear today they are planning a new lagoon in Suðurnes.

I'd bet on the power of nature (aka lava) beating the fragile works of man. The Blue Lagoon is toast. Poor Walk With Me Tim had to flee to the airport in the middle of the night running away from burning lava. Not a good video to encourage tourism.

Yea, its important to note that this problem is very localized to a very small part of the country that just happens to contain the most popular tourist attraction in the country 😅

Hope the guy comes back to Iceland. It's mostly burning-lava free so maybe he'll give it another chance. @@TimeWarpIceland
