  • I'm happy to say that access to the eruption site is now under consideration and I'm optimistic for a positive outcome. There are however a few issues to address first like the safety of travellers with trained staff around and carparks of course. I'm also mentioning the volcano Hekla, I always get questions when earthquakes are detected thare, but I hardly notice them since this is just Hekla, a big teaser.

    Hey Gylfi, you are living proof that volcanos can spew out diamonds!!! A rough, uncut diamond, but still a priceless gem!!!
    I still can't believe that the Iceland Tourist Board isn't sponsoring you. It's not like you would have to have an ad break. All of your videos just make me want to visit you guys (your channel and Valur Grettisson, formally of The Reykyavik Grapevine). But, you couldn't be any further away from where I live.
    Best wishes from the quake isles, New ZZZZealand!!! 👍👍👍

    Thanks for the update. Yes, this one will be trickier for tourists, and I suppose gas masks will be a must, in case the wind changes direction, but I’m sure a shorter walk will be nice.
    The thing I keep noticing, but nobody seems to talk about, is how the seismographs for both Fagradalsfjal and Grindavik have a kind of “heartbeat” pattern when they’re charging up. But I don’t have enough information to know whether or how the seismograph pattern and the eruption strength synchronizes. I have been able to tell that if the heartbeat pattern gets faster, the eruption seems to be generally stronger (at least visually - I don’t have magma/lava flow data). For this eruption, the da-da… …da-da… …da-da… is only on the blue line, and not very dramatic, but it’s definitely there (most of the time). Generally only the time between beats varies.

    As long as there seems to be a balance between the magma chamber refilling and the volcano gently erupting this is probably a good thing for the area. The volcano almost seems to be working as a safety valve.

    Very many thanks again for the update. I'll keep an eye on developments! One problem is the expense - I'd have to be sure there was something to see and that the weather would permit the hike. Best of luck anyway to the Icelandic Tourist Board in their negotiations. One thing I'd really like to do is to get close to an active lava flow (as I did on Mount Etna 20-odd years ago). So I guess it's a matter of wait and see! Incidentally you must be worth your weight in ISK notes to the tourist board so I hope they show some appreciation!

I am hoping the tourism can get going around this eruption for selfish reasons, as i hope to be in Iceland in September. I was fortunate enough to visit Iceland once before and it is a truly special, primordial place that has had me hooked ever since. I encourage folks visiting Europe to stop through Iceland as it is unforgettable.

    If tourist are allowed to visit the area, Sylingafell seems like an obvious observation point to me. It's a highpoint so gas pollution shouldn't be an issue, close by to infrastructure (in case of emergencies) & to the eruption site (~1km) and a rather small area for surveylance.
    What do you think or what would you like to see (assuming a future/current eruption continues like this).

    This absolutely ludicrous. Is there nothing that this government won't do to chase tourist dollars? (They should have anticipated in advance that the tourist obsession with Iceland would start to wane at some point, rather than keep increasing year-on-year). This is not a tourist eruption and people just need to accept that. There are plenty of other things to see and do in Iceland. People have lost their homes (and livelihoods) and through that, the consequences have been felt by everyone else in the housing market. It's bad enough that our emergency services and rescue teams would be expected to put themselves at risk to deal with the fallout from building a trail / allowing these grotesque voyeurs into Grindavík when there is still the ever present risk of toxic gases but now we have another eruption potentially on the cards and all the uncertainty that that brings.

  • @robertslugg8361
    @robertslugg8361 Місяць тому

    It looked more vigorous tonight so we may see it wax and wane as the chamber fills, presurizes, and then releases on a 1-3 day cycle. I think the conduits are finally hot enough that the magma remains molten and no longer cools enough to form a plug, which is what caused the off period of the last 3 eruptions.. Let's say it goes to a 5 +/- 2 Cubic Meter/ second continuous eruption. That is roughly 400,000 Cubic meters a day, which is a 1KM sq area 0.4M (16 inches) thick. It can only get so thick before gravity and slope (now 20M higher than when it started) start to advance the flow fronts against the berms. There are hot spots pretty close to them (visible at night on web cams) so the lava is advancing below the surface. Check back with me in the middle of May when another 12M cubic Meters have been deposited.
