Volcano Watch 2023: The Eruption's Aftermath
Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 гру 2023
- Videographer Art Bicnick filmed on location from Grindavík the afternoon of December 22 to to capture this footage of the town that was evacuated amid seismic unrest on November 10, and the site of the eruption near Sunhnúkagígar that began at 10:17 p.m. on December 18, and which volcanologists have already declared over.
This latest eruption is both the strongest and shortest lived of those seen on peninsula in recent years. 90 minutes after high-magnitude earthquakes at Sunhnúkagígar, a 4 km fissure opened, producing curtains of lava at a rate of 200 cubic metres per second.
That had diminished to a third of the volume within 24 hours as the fissure consolidated down to five and then just two eruptive vents. It had petered out entirely by December 21st.
While the eruption appears to be over, scientists continue watching the signs that a magma chamber is filling up roughly 5 km beneath Svartsengi - the area on which the Svartsengi Power Plant and the Blue Lagoon sit.

Clear, concise and considered with great filming, without all the hyperbole of some reporters. Thank You, and have a great Christmas
Happy holidays!
Being a volcanologist in Iceland is like being theologist in Vatican City:)
Out of all the videos i have watched on this volcano and it's eruption, this has been hand down the best and most informative one i have watched, thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks to Art for this great footage! Happy holidays to all of you out there 🎄
Like a gigantic pan of lava brownies. Glad the infrastructure and harbor are basically intact and that many houses are still habitable.
PS - Thank you for the comprehensive briefing video.
Very impressive with the surrounding snow!
Thanks Art for your brilliant vision. Please pass on my love to Valur and Polly. Volcanoes are not as exciting without them.
Agreement indeed hope Polly happy, healthy & still catching Valur's thrown ball&frisby, say hi to them for me!!!😊
Wonderful, thank you. From Holland it is not easy to form a clear picture of the events and to understand what may still be in store for the Icelanders. A documentary like this is a great help.
Thank you for your update.
thank you for the most clear and informative update!
Thank you. I can't imagine what those poor people in Grindavik are going through, but it does seem like the situation is very similar to the northern volcano. 😢
Sending our thoughts and best wishes for the people of Grindavik at this difficult time at Christmas 🎄 hopefully you have a better new year 😊 ❤
Very well done!
Fantastic Silki and Shawn
Nice video, nice overview shot especially the ones from the seaside over the village !!
Superb reporting--Thank you!!!
2:50 I'd just like to say that the crack shown in the earth there was present before the town was built, as it is reported in early writings of the settlement, for what its worth.
Thank you videographer Art Bicnick for the footage and the channel's knowledgeable report of the ever changing situation. Our thoughts are with the residents, the workers of the Blue Lagoon and power plant. We always watch your videos to get the updates on the most up to date situation in the area. Happy Holidays to you all.
The comparison with Krafla is interesting because that area is located directly over the tectonic plates in the north in exactly the same way as Reykanes in the south. As I understand it, the Krafla Fires lasted from 1975 to 1984.
With the small difference that Krafla is also a more defined volcanic system with previous explosive eruptions forming calderas. So there might still be some differences in the eruption dynamic after all. But for now it seems more comparable than the last three eruptions at Fagradalsfjall
Thank you for the update season greetings..🌲🦌☃️💛🇨🇦🇺🇲💛
Best overview of the situation I’ve seen online
Thank you for the update! I was there on the 17th filming for my youtube channel and missed out on the volcano!
Even with all the seismic activity and the areas of subsidence, the majority of the town's building seem to be standing.
Drone footage interesting, much appreciated 👍
Excellent summary thank you
Thanks for the information and have a nice Christmas! Please sent good wishes to Valur and Polly!
I walked that area in 2022.
Wish everyone a peaceful holiday. I will be back. My favorite place in all my travels.
Seems to me if they only have one airport, they should be at least building another runway with all that heavy equipment. Maybe not all the buildings and hangars but at least another runway in another location, perhaps near an existing road.
Very lucky for the people of Grindavik!!
Thank you for the update.
The reports are that the pressure is building under the power plant & Blue Lagoon and could possibly erupt in January.
thank you . this is perfect!
I have watched with great interest, I'm nt a scientist but your clear & straight forward information has been amazing. I would like to thank you & your team.
I wish Iceland & its people A happy& safe new year. What an incredible country it is
Just thinking out loud would now be good time to MOVE the town forever.
Move it where, though?
Thank you for keeping us informed.
Well done, thank you and Merry Christmas.
Thx for update
Your orange eruption line looks to be too short and doesn't seem to run in the correct direction! It should run closer to the western side of the lava field.
5:22 more volcanic activity likely, berms have been built
I didn't think anyone could make a report on a volcano boring but you just managed to do that.
It's not over
Thanks!
And thank you so much again!
Thanks for sharing. I wonder how many people actually return to Grindavik and how they feel about the whole situation and the future of living in that area. I know there were lawsuits against government because government shouldn't deny people's access to their own property. Still i hope the people who actually return are well informed and get an alarm of some sort as soon as the next eruption starts or dangerous gasses are detected...
Semi-random question: does anyone know why the Reykjavik Grapevine’s main avatar/logo is a “Crossed Out Gray Guy Profile Picture.” That description of it was what I found online, but I couldn’t find any particular reason for its creation, nor the reason why RG is currently using it. Is it a winter thing? Thanks so much!
Also, very happy residents have the choice to go home for the holidays. Seeing so many displaced, it’s nice to think some will be able to celebrate within the comfort of their family homes. ♥️🎄♥️
Google flagged a suspicious log-in attempt on our account, which is proving frustratingly difficult to fix. Hoping we’ll have our logo back soon.
They should call the new valley Landreykja
Nice report. What happened to your logo on you tube?
Looks like their logo is back.
Mother Nature is endlessly fascinating and potentially dangerous. My heart goes out to Grindavic residents who have to be suffering financial challenges.
Posting a random comment....
FOR THE ALGORITHM!!!! ❤
There goes the property values in that town.
I propose an additional tourism tax to assist the hard working people of Grindavik should they lose their homes in the long run (Including other communities which might be affected). Most are profiting from these eruptions. Excellent report also!
Is the narrator the same guy as the channel Hlídarmenn?? Sounds like him.
So no aftermath?
I miss polly.
You can tell it is not USA as hills would be covered by dirt bikers taking selfies
I cannot see the picture,only the large words
May the Lord bless the people of Grindavik with a quiet, peaceful Christmas and fill the hearts of all with the spirit of Christ... Amen
If God were going to be involved in the goings on of earth, He’d be involved in much larger and destructive events in places other than Iceland. He isn’t involved and your prayers are meaningless.
Keep religion out of science/reality 🤨
@@MrKorton LOL... "science/reality"...
Your "science/reality" says men can become women and have babies...LOL
Thanks, I stick with my "religion" that never changes on any subject... I can depend on the Word of God the same today as Noah did when God told him to build the ark.
You can't depend on anything your "educated professionals" say. It changes from "knowledge" to "knowledge" and always comes back to exactly what God says... Weather, land changes, ocean and the life within it... rocks falling from the sky... your "experts" take the long way around and miss the mark with each step... LOL... "reality"...LOL
I suggest you work on making God a "science" in your life sir, because God is about to give this world a big dose of "reality" when He turns you over to the desires of your heart and lets you reap the "reward" for your actions... Think loathsome sores and wanting to die by not being able to... you want to live forever??? What will be that "forever"?
if this lord character can bless them with peace, why the f’k did he split the ground open and let lava spill out across their town in the first place 🤷🏻♂️ I’m sure you don’t realise how stupid you sound when saying these things, especially after a natural disaster 🙄
If you believe in God. Then this is his/her doing and is not interested if anyone is killed/injured.
Those cracks in town are a clear indicator that the town of grindivik is on its last breathe and it's only a matter of time when the fissures explode.
Its a waste of time and money building those walls of earthen materials. Insanity is rampant within the Icelandic government.
First Firstsson!

How the hell did you guys manage to screw up the sound in this episode? Sounds like a 22khz sample rate.
It sounds fine to me. And I love being able* to hear the powerful ambient sounds. I’m wearing headphones, though. Perhaps that makes a difference.
@@Katja.T. I'm an audio engineer and music producer. I'm not going to debate this with you.
@@harlycorner Sorry, I wasn’t looking for a debate. Just sharing my experience. I actually started looking into sample rates after your first comment. Interesting stuff! My headphones also have an increased bass* feature? I also saw someone say that YT compresses to 16kHz anyway. No idea if thats true. I’m curious what you feel is lacking. Anyway, Happy Holidays! I hope you and yours a wonderful new year. Take care.
I found there was nothing wrong with the sound and you are the only one in the comments complaining about the sound
The sound quality is good. The background noise you're hearing is the wind from the drone footage.
This is Yahweys wrath....🤣🤣🤣🤣
Every time there is an eruption Iceland proclaims it’s going to be the longest and most destructive eruption in the last 50 years. Looks like they are getting weaker and shorter actually. I know Iceland really wants those tourists attractions but stop letting it get in the way of actually science and start acting more professional.
Psst, narrrator: please lick your lips or have a sip of water before recording. Thanks.
Sound on speak is 16Kbps mp3 from a cell phone mic? Great images as always and probably good info, but had to mute it two minutes in as my brain was melted by the audio.
Thank you ,so much for your content. May you all have a very Merry Christmas and a happy New Year !
