- Observing erupting volcano from Blue Lagoon. June 3, 2024. #BlueLagoon #Iceland #volcanoes
------------------------------
Lava encircles Sylingafell mountain and might push towards the road to Blue Lagoon (road 43). The southern crater is likely to last for some weeks. The Southern cone also emits lava to the south (from its backside) via a tube, where we see a lava pool.
5th Volcanic Eruption (8th since 2021) of Reykjanes Volcano started on May 29th, 2024 at 12:50 just north of Grindavik, Reykjanes Peninsula. As for 16:00 May 29th the erupting fissure was 3.4 km long and the lava ran over the road no. 43 (Grindavik road) for the 2nd time in that location (first time back in January) and also over road 425 (Nesvegur) west of town. By the evening of the first day activity subsided and was concentrated along some 2 km stretch, more or less at the same location as back in March, around the old crater. As for today, June 3 we have two distinct cones erupting close distance to each other, emitting lava flows in the opposite directions: the northern cone emits lava to the east, while the southern one (bigger one) sends lava to the west where its facing a mountain (Sylingafell). Southern cone also emits lava to the south via a tube, where we see a lava pool.
Update (05.06.24): As predicted, the northern cone (with twin vents) nearly died out over last night.

No way that I would get in to those springs at the blue Lagoon. I’ve seen too many horror movies, lol. Love your coverage. Keep up the great work.
🤣 You and me both…..
the "springs" is really just the waste water (perfectly clean just mineralized) of the power plant. what happens is, the water and or steam gets drawn up through pipes via the bore hole wells, and then the steam gets sent to turbines and other machinery to generate electricity. the hot water for drinking gets filtered and left hot, and then the rest goes into the pools that serve as the function of the lagoon facilities. SO, there is little danger of sudden temp changes within the pools themselves, and the chance of an eruption occurring within the area of the lagoon and plant is extremely low compared to out by the Sundnukagigar craters, and the current Magma Dyke, system. But, that isnt also to say that the lagoon is Entirely safe, since the volcanic Gasses, are the by far more hazardous thing to consider. if enough gasses blow that way it could be unpleasant or dangerous to those with less than stellar lung health. and in higher amounts even those With healthy lungs, may not have any fun breathing. Luckily, the air quality is monitored and i am sure the place woudl be evacuated if the air was not healthy for people at that time.
Dante's Peak comes to mind!
The waters at the Blue Lagoon are piped in from the power plant. I would rather visit their natural springs.
I do feel the same way you do. Nature has a way of surprising us and reminding us that we are not in charge.😮
It's only in Iceland that you can make such a video : people having fun in a pool in front of an erupting volcano. 😉
Thank you for the video and the up-date.
Um sonho!!
Thanks for the update and the secondary entertainment at Blue Lagoon.
Its good to see that tourists are still traveling to Iceland. Iceland has proven several times over recent years just how unique it really is. Thanks so much for sharing & safe travels
Very good commentary on the Blue lagoon it is very expensive you were very funny thank you. 😭🤣🤣6 6
Awesome vid of spewing volcano from Blue lagoon. Wow what a nice Shot!
The world should know its that close to the Blue lagoon for any new eruptions. Ty
Those tourists are having the experience of a lifetime - how many people can say they were swimming in magma heated water within sight of an active erupting volcano? Absolutely unique.
Surreal that you can see lava from Blue Lagoon!
Looks like paradise amid a moonscape. Inhospitable land. Icelanders have carved some beautiful areas out of the lava fields. 🤗💖
The Blue Lagoon is too commercialized with modern buildings to be a paradise. Places out in nature where there is beauty and no modern buildings are more like paradise.
Thank you for the tour
Thanks for the walk!
Thank you for the update you do a great job
Lagoonies for sure - nuts
Those prices are just taking the mickey. They're insultingly expensive.
Thanks Roman ❤
An old saying in my youthful years, never turn your back or sleep near a wild beast, unless you have eyes in the back of your head!
66, add another, had me chuckling. In my early law enforcement in the US, there was a highway US RT 666, and it lived up to its road identity. I peeled more dead bodies off that highway, especially in the winter, despite the posted speed limit of 55mph, drivers drove like maniacs. They finally changed the 666 to 491 later in the 1990's year later after I got reassigned to investigative unit.
I know the intent is to grab as much money as possible because the government depends on tourism, but they are dangerously dealing with peoples lives, and that is going to come back to bite them on the backside. TY, Roman for always being factual on your content. Take care my friend, and may God continue to direct your paths!
Who knows what is going on way underground there is a risk,too many people and a panic, i hope all stay safe and be so aware at all times
Thank you for this video! I'm arriving in Reykjavik on 29 June. I would really like to see the erupting lava from the Blue Lagoon's balcony! 🤞🏻 Definitely not getting in the water, though! 🤣🤣🤣
Beautiful GutnTog !! YTM !! Thnx !!
The Blue Lagoon provides jobs, entertainment all in a relaxing thrill sport sort of way.
I really don't see a problem with Blue Lagoon being open now. There are so many safety measures that I would completely rely on them. The entire situation is continuously measured and a new escape road from Blue Lagoon has been constructed.
Another attraction for the Ble Lagoon, now someone just need to put a telescope and bar on that deck and use it as an observation deck. Interested to know what are the preparations for poison gas when the wind changes.
I think this is a bad move to reopen the Blue Lagoon.
People know the score and can actually see the threat so it is entirely up to them. Nice to see a rare situation where choices are open to people without constant control from outsiders constantly thinking for them without being asked.
It is not so much of a risk for BL to be open at this time as the eruption is so diminished. Even if the wind changes there won't be much of a hazard from toxic gases because the volcanic activity is so diminished. And the eruption isn't likely to suddenly flare again.
@@michaeld5888 I think it's fortunate there aren't too many think police around to control what free people are allowed to think or not think, with or without being asked!!!
@@michaeld5888The typical risk assessment done by tourists is to figure that it must be safe or it wouldn't be open. Tourists who survived the 2019 White Island (an active volcano) disaster in New Zealand all more or less said just this.
@@michaeldeierhoi4096@michaeldeierhoi4096 At the moment, the gas is always the biggest risk! Because of that, they have put up a lot of tools to check it out all the time.
So at the moment, that is the biggest risk.
Xtreme! Tourism in Iceland.
Thanks for the update! 😊
Awesome! I'm glad it's back open. Thanks for the update!
crazy isn't it.
thanks for sharing this
Management wants money.
I was walking on that very same path 10 days ago.
Goes to show how much lava buildup has occurred, that you can see that much of the cone over that horizon level now. Also nice to see your face for a bit. Certainly weird for me here in the US to see those bathers so close to that eruption.
Beauty lagoon
Glad it's open. We were going to cancel our trip if we couldn't go.
Some good pictures there, a good video, a human's eye view of the Blue Lagoon and nearby.
I bet you're thinking about making that five or ten mile trek up onto those surrounding hills. You'd surely get some good pictures from up there. I'm pretty sure you'd need some good boots to get there.
Hi mate, glad you ok. My Dalmatian not too keen on the Lava but I wish I was there with my camera. I guess my dogs became more important. As we are in UK not really a drama :-) Love your channel Best wishes
Poisonous fumes are always a risk. Not a good idea.
It's like watching Pompeii, one day archaeologists, historians will be asking what was going on in their tiny boiled minds to make people want to gamble sitting in a puddle on top of an active volcanic system. Humans, got to love us.
awesome video!
Wow! It looks far enough away. How far as the crow flys?? Seagulls 😊
😂 Lagoon owners put money before safety ☹️ if I ever get to iceland its one place I will never visit.😂
That's corporations for you. Investors expect perpetual "(bottom) line go up" so safety is way down on the priority list.
I think it’s was a bad idea to open Blue Lagoon. Be safe.
Think of the rich people. They can't make money off the stupid people at the Blue Lagoon.
Man that water is a funky color
I'm headed to Iceland July 3rd, and have no intentions of goimg there at all.
More the shame for you to miss out on such a unique situation
@@davidro77 lol, where I am going it's better buddy! We are treking from north to south. No people in most areas.
Lovely to see inside - memories of my visit, 20th Feb. Had a lovely few hours. We had to take the long route from Reykjavik as the normal road was still closed.
I didn't buy anything in their shops.
You can buy cheap gloves at sensible prices in the ordinary supermarket, Bonus, should you need them. I'd forgotten to bring mine!
Mnie na Islandii stać było tylko na bilet do blou lagoon, polowanie na wieloryby,były 2 stada,3 kawy i paczkę suszonych ryb
I really think that’s risky to open the Blue Lagoon that close to the volcano’s. What about the toxic gases?? Just shocked!
People have no common sense these days.
There is very little risk from the volcano when it is so diminished in eruption activity.
People have always been curious about natural events. Watching floods, chasing storms etc, this is no different.
@@michaeldeierhoi4096There is magma under the Blue Lagoon. I would never sit in that water even if there isn't an eruption going on. Nature has a way of fooling us.
This is crazy! They are placing lives at risk & opening themselves up to criminal charges!!!
wtf is wrong with the world??? It is NOT ok to place greed above human life!
The magma chamber feeding this current eruption is under the Svartsengi and Blue Lagoon and it has deflated a bit. Hopefully the land doesn't suddenly collapse to form a caldera cooking these bathing tourists like lobsters. There is only one road out as the other two roads are blocked by the new lava flows. The lava that flowed around the base of Sylingarfell stopped just a few feet from the last road out of the Blue Lagoon and power plant. I would love to see a video of that location.
Fajnie będzie,jak i ta ostatnia droga zostanie zalana, będą skakać jak fakirzy po węglach.
That's so crazy! I heard that now there's a crack inside the north defensive wall with steam coming out, at Grindavik.
What is the crane just east of the Blue Lagoon helping with... making the berms higher?
What, if Winddirection changes and vulcanic gas swapps in? You cant evacuate hundreds of People with 10 minute walk through gas!
Do they have safety equipment for each customer if the wind changes direction
Bet you staying at the Blue Lagoon is safer than my country, where crime levels are sky high!
Completely unsafe, just one change in wind direction and people get sick
It's 5km away -- I doubt the concentration of any gas emitted by the volcano would be high enough to cause a problem by the time that air reached the BL
@@eah8101 it's 1km away as the crow flies, not 5.
Клёво!
Scientists are saying,longer, two months.
I think they love the attention like little kids
Is this really safe for tourists ?
There is very little threat from the volcano at this point because the eruption is so diminished. Even if the wind shifts toward BL the toxic gases would be minimal.
Nope
@@edwardpardy7866 Yep!!
🌴🇮🇩. good evening Prof gutn tog........four mount have been eruption in indonesia with black dust and ash of piroclastic in two month.
no lava coming out. 🌏
I was able to watch Mount St. Helens erupt from about 12 air miles away on 5/18/1980. What causes the lagoon to be this beautiful blue?
Silica
@@IcelandExplorer Isn't silica miniscule grains of glass?
Are these people mad.
No have danger in this place ?😮
Not at this time because the eruption is so diminished from before.
People are paying big bucks for that view that mite kill them
That place is all about money. They don't give a hoot for people's safety!!
Speaking of 666...I moved to Sweden on June 6 in 2006. Or 06/06/06. Or 666. The poor Swedes :P :P :P
Days of noah smh
Great views! 🙄 Of the beautiful berms, there precisely because of volcano danger lol, and the gorgeous power plant and construction crane (or are they going to do bungee jumps and complete the amusement/circus park?). My idea of nature and a relaxing time. Not. Of COURSE few Icelanders are there lol. How many of these people really know the dangers, just trusting the owners and tour operators like you? And if really no dangers, why are they frantically working on the berm? It's a shame people are going to have to get injured or die to put sense into heads, just for billionaire $, and a country that has no other GDP, or so they claim (and, you'd think, no better attractions). You're responsible for exposing people to dangers they aren't fully aware of. Glad you know so much about the eruption and can predict there's no danger, Dr Explorer. What about gasses? At least if you are near the cones, you can move away from gasses (although still dangerous). There you can't. The lava continues to flow at a good clip, and what if it travels down the hydrothermal plumbing over there? Kaboom! Worse than day 1.
There's so many better places, really gorgeous places to go in Iceland, but tourists are always shallow and run in packs for their IG. All the better for me to rent a car and take off to see the REAL Iceland and have an adventure! It's almost like Iceland wants to funnel tourists into expensive traps... Do the Circle and the BL... Get the IG shot, show off to everyone how rich you are, even if you charged the whole thing on your card at 30% interest and can't pay your rent/mortgage when you get home!
You'd not catch me dead at such a rip off crowded tourist trap, but some people, eventually, will be, if the eruptions continue. Or trapped, when the road gets covered again.
Are you sure just anyone can get in? A recent visitor said you need a BL ticket atm to even get into the parking lot.
Risking lives for money... lots of money... that's just crazy....
Yep, it will either disappear into a well of larva , or get boiled alive, your choice, 😢😅
I’m also thinking it’s not a good idea to open the Blue Lagoon. Greetings from the Netherlands
Is it possible to hike on foot closer to the volcano from blue lagoon or do the authorities stop you? Is there any way around this by cutting across country?
watch out ,the thought police will haunt you. All roads are closed, would be a very long hike and do you think that would be safe?
There is a theory that the number 666 applied to a certain pope in the relatively recent past. It stayed in the roster of popes until his more recent follower changed it to 668. These are, if I remember correctly, the numeral after the papal name, the month of election and the month of installation.
So irresponsible to open.
Are they so desperate for money ?????? This is wrong.
Toatally irresponsible
Darwinism at work.
Sorry but you are a fool if you are at the Blue Lagoon right now.
Sorry I only accept wives 😭
The merchandise in that shop at the blue lagoon is hysterically expensive🤣🤣. What an absolute rip off.
Watch the movie Dantes Peak, and then decide if you want to enter the lagoon....
The new name for the blue lagoon will b the urine lagoon because I bet everyone who sits lays down in the water dose not get out to go to the toilet dose it in the water how sick is that
You can say that about any body of water where humans are involved🙄🙄
