Thank you for that summary Shawn - really helpful. and thank you INLUS media for posting :)
Great job like always Professor Willsey, and thank you Rob for hosting this very interesting webinar.
Interesting information. Thanks Shawn Willsey
Awesome historical summary Prof. Willsey.
Thank you @shawnwillsey for this great presentation and thank you @inlusmedia2671 for inviting Shawn and sharing the video here! :)
Brilliant summary of events so far...thanks Shawn as always and thanks INLUS for posting it.
Found you thru Shawn Willsey’s UA-cam channel
Thank you for the Video :) QC
I remember watching that anniversary eruption. The drone flight.... Opening of that fissure LIVE during the flight! Mind blowing and scary!
Another term for "lava berm" would be "levee". A term familiar Americans along the Mississippi and near the Gulf of Mx coast.
Or anyone that remembers hurricane Katrina.
Glad to see Shawn here too. - But a completely unrelated question to INLUS: I am completely aware and sure that most members of Icelandic ancestry do actually have actual Icelandic ancestry I have to ask: Do you guys have any people with Faroese ancestry too? The Faroese are often or almost always combined with other groups like Danes, Norwegians, and Icelanders, so hence why I am curious. I do some genealogy on the side personally.
Thanks for the interesting question. While most of our members are of Icelandic ancestry, INLUS also welcomes anyone who loves Iceland, its people, history and culture. We welcome those interested in genealogy but it is not our primary focus. One of our member organizations, Icelandic Roots (www.IcelandicRoots.com) has many volunteer genealogists and could better answer that question.
@@inlusmedia2671 Thank you for the swift reply. And for the tip. Hopefully, I with my hobby of genealogy can answer somebody's question there. Who knows, right? Also again, thanks for having Prof. Willsey on. He is quite the gold trove of knowledge on geology.
I'm not a geologist but wouldnt the ground split at the fault along the line of least resistance indicated by the faults being at a slight angle to the movement of the two plates, resistance varying because of the varying strengths of underground mantle makeup?
I did knows Iceland well enough thst my husband's Gunnison Helgason went to the Iceland every years before i removed to Csnafa.
What can one do to move to Iceland?
Prof Willsey likely knows better than saying as he does at 34:40 that Grindavik when evacuated was (NOT!) 10% of the population of Iceland; its closer to 1% the population of Iceland. Just a small correction, for he looks younger than I after all!
He made a simple mistake, which anyone can do. He knows the correct percentage as he has mentioned it on his own channel.
My mistake and I make full ownership of it. Lots of numbers and such in my head and I am not getting younger. Sorry for this one mistake and hope you could still enjoy the rest of the presentation.
