Very useful summary - from the beginning, with some interesting speculation for progression of the eruption based on previous events . Thank you!. As a geologist I can only agree with your ‘wait and see’ advice. In my experience, all the educated geo-guesswork in the world is no match for Mother Nature and her bottomless bag of shabby tricks!
Good day from Nevada USA... Glad to see your video. Of all those who have been covering the volcanoes over the last 3yrs, you are my favorite... Praying for the people of Grindavik
So good to see your video, we always enjoy your input and perspective. That eruption shot was pretty amazing ( after waiting for weeks). I really like trying to pronounce the names of areas and eruptions...laugh at myself and go " What Hlidarmenn said " :).
Good to hear your views. I saw that the met office mentioned that the inflation has only dropped about 5cm, from the 35cm uplift. That's a bit concerning, as that means there is still an influx of magma that needs to go somewhere.
Hello from southern California! Tomorrow is our 5th anniversary. We spent our honeymoon in Iceland. We stayed in Grindavik, and had an epic tome at the blue lagoon. I'm fascinated watching your channel...your accent lends an authentic and personable. I'm heartsick watching the threat to Grindavik, but so interested in the geology and it's changes. Thank you for your hard work creating this content ❣️
Thank you soo much once more for those beautifull pictures and a summary of what happened and could be expected. Hoping that youll be able to safely fly your drone best regards from France
Good report 👍🏻 as always, our Volcano 🌋 Reporting friend Hildarmenn! Is it possible, to superimpose a Compass 🧭 readings on some videos shots of the 🌋? For example, @02:02 when Eruption began, @02:41 wide view of area etc. It would be SO HELPFUL for us to determine which directions the most lava flows? Or even put marker where Grendavik, Blue Lagoon, Power Plant & yes, even Reykjavik directions? Who expected THIS Eruption, certainly not the experts or they’d never have allowed the citizens of Grindavik back home yesterday.
Merci. Thank you for the images and contextual info around this volcanic eruption. Hoping that Grindavik and the Blue Lagoon thermal power facility will be spared. Watching from Acadie in Canada.
Thank you from Northern Illinois, USA. I enjoy your videos and comments. Iceland is spectacular. And the volcanic activity fascinating. I am sharing your posts!
Well so far it looks like Ieland couldn't have been luckier the way its looking. If it doesn't go to Grndivik and it looks like it wont, it may fill in the lower area in the area opposite of the power plant and stay there and it doesn't look like it is going to hit the power plant so far then boy oh boy it could have been a lot worse. If it had gotten longer or even stayed at the same power and length as when it erupted then Id say both town and power plant would have been taken out if the berm didn't work 100%. Looks like we got another tourist eruption lol.. I heard they may let everyone in to get close in a few days once they know its going to stabilize. Thanks for the update!
Looking forward to flying to iceland on 1st January. I hope that the eruption will still be active, but of course without further damage to infrastructure and to Grindavík. The show from the plane is so insane. In 2022 we had the chance to experience the eruption.
It's unlikely it'll increase a lot again, although more vents could open. There's no chance that we'll get an explosive phase, eruptions in the peninsula are mostly effusive with just a few exceptions.
I remember the 1970s eruption on Heìmaey. So much destruction. It was amazing that the workers were actually able to keep the harbor from being destroyed. Would never want to live in a volcanic hazards zone, but volcanoes are so interesting.
Hello my friend! How exciting to see! Impressive work you do to give appropriate reports. I like your humour about the name. Maybe a separate section about how to pronounce it? 👄 Would be of great help for us discussing this event among friends, if we can tell the name of the eruption.
I enjoyed this video as always. Thanks for that. That was a spectacular eruption and I am thankful that nobody was hurt. It was unbelievable. You have got a glimpse of what was happened as Laki erupted. Can you imagine a fissure 30 km long? I can’t…
Yeah, exactly, I was just thinking that when they said the output could've been as high as 400 m3/s. I personally think it was somewhere between 100 and 200 m3/s as Skaftáreldar would've been somewhere between 700 and 1000 m3/s. Crazy to think the fissure in Skaftáreldar was more than 7 times the length of this one.
@@Hliarmenn How Long it would take to fly a helicopter at that line. In that video, I was always thinking, where is the end, that is impossible and what not.
Last data point shows that ground has subsided by around 7cm. It also shows that subsidence has stopped or slowed down which is strange as during the last magma run ground subsided by 30cm
Hahahaha, and we are supposed to worry about our "carbon footprint" if we dare heating our homes with natural gas. One such eruption emits more greenhouse gas than every human on Earth during several years :-))))))))))))))))))
@@Hliarmenn I will wait as long as necessary for updates from you and Just Icelandic. I think you two have the best two channels for volcano analysis. Your reporting is excellent and I always look forward to your postings. Thank you for informing us and providing outstanding analysis.

Ayyyy, that is so cool the hear. Thanks for tuning in
i love how much these reports are down to earth instead of the mainstream media hyped up over dramatic stuff they pump out 👍😊
Great update!!!!! U r a natural at this
Thank you!!
You give the best summaries. Many thanks.
Glad you like them!
Thanks for a concise, accurate report without the waffling that others tend to have.
Thank you!!!
We’ve been praying for optimum outcomes and people’s safety
Happy Holidays!
Thank you , this was very clear , good maps and great video.
Thanks for this extremely detailed update. Sending love from Wichita, Kansas.
Hell yeah!
wichits kansas rrr🎉🎉🎉
Thanks for the update!
Blessings from Alabama!
It's good to hear that the town and power plant are, thus far, being spared.
Thanks for the update.
Nice report! The clearest and most informative delivered by a 21th century authentic Viking. Thanks!
Hahaha, glad you enjoyed 😁

What a truly informative, top rate production! and with just the right dose of awe.
Nice to hear your shoes are still not on fire :)
Its a pleasure to hear from you! Glad things are leaning towards the "Manageable" side! Looking forward to your next video! Thank you!✌️🙏 From Texas

Thank you, I followed the last Volcano eruption with you a few moths ago.
Yeah, crazy to think it was just a few months ago, crazy times we're experiencing.
🇦🇺 A most fascinating update, thank you!

Wow! A complete wall of fire. so cool. Thanks!
Great update, thank you
Great video with good commentary. You mention 'gas'. What sort of gas is this please? Sulphur Dioxide? Methane?
Thanks you, and yeah, sulfur dioxide.
Unpredictability of nature! Thank you for the update. So much appreciated! 😊
“Eruption of one night”
The shortest eruption in hostory 😢

it’s decreasing, do you think there’s chances it could increase? And also can it produce a VEI-1/2? Thank you!
It's unlikely it'll increase a lot again, although more vents could open. There's no chance that we'll get an explosive phase, eruptions in the peninsula are mostly effusive with just a few exceptions.

I'll do that in my next video 😉
When it erupted, I text messaged my sister this note: “Iceland go boom.” 😱
Þetta er áhrifamikið að sjá.
Þakka þér kærlega fyrir þessar upplýsingar.
Gleðileg jól og farsælt komandi ár 🎄 🎉🥂

shame they did not make the name much longer and more difficult to pronounce. good video
Hahahhaha, Eyjafjallajökull is still unbeaten
Do you have drone footage of the barrier protecting the power plant?
No, but I can find some footage to show in the next video 😉
"Iceland" is now "Lavaland"
"Floor is Lava"😎
It's not a Volcano, it's a rip in the crust of the earth.
what is the inflation level under the power plant and blue lagoon now?
Last data point shows that ground has subsided by around 7cm. It also shows that subsidence has stopped or slowed down which is strange as during the last magma run ground subsided by 30cm
@@Hliarmenn so its still above normal by 13 centimeters... that's not good
You just know all those little scaremongering channels are going to be using that same thumbnail image for every little tremor in the future.
Yep, the images from the initial stages of this eruption are going to be used for a while.
Hahahaha, and we are supposed to worry about our "carbon footprint" if we dare heating our homes with natural gas. One such eruption emits more greenhouse gas than every human on Earth during several years :-))))))))))))))))))
