      I love your content Shaun, and I know you love Iceland and your focus is there , but could you give your expert opinion on what is happening in Campi Flegrei at the moment, even if its a brief discussion. There is not alot of expert coverage of that , and it seems like it is quite a concern at the moment.

    Wow, Gylfi you are one under sung, compassionate, intelligent, wise genius that loves his country. Fantastic to see you in person. Brilliant interview technique Shawn - you let his light shine, that's a talent itself. Thank you both, superb, and you must both be knackered and it's about to all kick off again. Thank you.

    "And with that, I'm sending you best regards from the volcano island.... Iceland!"

    Just an awesome discussion, and collaboration between two of my favorite content creators. Why we navigate toward these two content creators, is because we want factual information without the distorted word salad spewed by today's media outlets. I have not watched any MSM outlets in 7 years, they just don't do investigative journalism anymore, and the dishonesty or biases is just nauseating. Great Job Gylfi & Shawn, stay factual, and the viewers will flock to your contents & eventually your subs will be through the roof. TY for all the great contents you create. I'm in my lat 60s, retired mil/leo analyst, but still eager to learn new things. Stay safe, and may God's grace shine upon you all!

Can't wait to see what you both come up with for our viewing pleasure. The best part of visiting another country is visiting the small out of the way towns and villages. Everyone can go see the standard sightseeing places, it takes creative people to go off the beaten path. 👍💙

    This discussion is great!! I've been following both of you for different reasons and to see your connection in this collab, it's very cool! I've been following professor Willsey because of my interest in geology of the western US, where I reside. I started following Gylfi at the end of last year due to his unbiased assessment of the current volcanic activity, because my wife and I have been planning a trip to Iceland for several years and, rightly so, had concerns. Now, after watching this interview, now would like to incorporate the lesser known features of your country into our trip. Thanks for this!!

    This is very special to me, as well. I live only a few hundred miles from Shawn and I have a hope of dropping by at Twin Falls, ID sooner than later to say "hi." But Gylfi does show himself more than 4 years ago in some videos, yet I'm so happy to see him today, too. I have a sense of love from a distance for Gylfi. He's a real gem. So this is just good stuff for me. Best wishes to both Shawn and Gylfi!

    We visited Iceland during November 2012. Akureyri was our favourite place. It is so beautiful. There was an outside hot tub surrounded by snow. Freshwater trout on the menu that was so clean. We bought some bread that was baked under the hot ground. Such respect for the Icelanders and their determination to make do whatever the circumstances.

    It is really nice to be able to put a face to the friendly voice of Gylfi that I have been listening to! Thank you for the work both of you do, I have always had a casual interest in geology, rocks, and mountains, volcanos. When I travel and see mountains I always want to know how they came to be and find out what types of rocks they are made of. Both of your channels bring much needed geology content to UA-cam where it is easy for people with a casual interest like myself to learn. Gylfi has given me a much greater understanding and appreciation of Iceland. I am sorry to say the closest I have been to visiting Iceland is making a connection on a flight to the UK, but even what I could see from the airplane window was so interesting, and Gylfi has helped me learn so much more about Iceland.

    I think it is great to have Gylfi and Shawn together, because they have the two insights in what is going on at the Reykanes Peninsula right now - the changing of the landscape, consechenses for people in Iceland, how to live with it (gylfi) and the geology (Shawn). So interesting, and important for someone who wants to learn about the icelandic culture and vulcanoes 😊👍
    I am from Denmark and as Iceland was Danish territory up until 2. World war, I have grown up thinking of Iceland as "part-Danish". I have had fellow students from Iceland during my education in the '1980'ies', since it was quite common in these days for Icelanders to be educated in Denmark. I have a great interest in the culture and landscape of Iceland, an I have Danish friends living in Iceland now.
    I have always thought of the Icelandijc people as a strong people in terms of nature and weather, and it is not a surprise to me how well they are handling this situation at the Reykanes Peninsula.
    I mostly follow Shawn, but it has been so good to have someone at "ground zero" to explain how this plays out for people at the peninsula -and of course, great videos 😊👍
