Between Two Berms: Saving Grindavík From Lava
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 жов 2024
- In this instalment of our visits to the eruption area, reporters Alina Maurer and Art Bicnick provide a closer look at the efforts being made to protect the Reykjanes town of Grindavík from lava. A big part of this is the construction of earthen berms, which help keep the lava at bay. As there is limited reentry allowed into the town, although overnight stays are discouraged. Grindavík was evacuated just hours prior to last Wednesday's eruption.

Thanks a lot, Alina and Art, to start again with a volcano channel on You Tube, like Valur and Art did before. I really appreciate this kind of information.
Greetings from the Netherlands
I've been watching the eruption since November .I watched the geologists for information about iceland, I've never seen this girl before but there is something refreshing about her reporting she is not over the top, she is like a reporter in training very candid ,polite .🎥👍
Alina is actually a seasoned veteran reporting on volcanic activity. She reported on the 2021 Iceland volcano. She is very good.
This is such an excellent report Alina and while there are plenty of good drone shots online, I appreciate getting to see this “boots on the ground” perspective and how it has so radically changed since my own visit. Much respect to the camera operator for walking backwards on that tricky gravel barrier!
Thank you! 😊
Excellent reporting by Alina and brilliant camerawork by Art, as always. Thank you from London, England.
An excellent and very informed report on the current conditions, with lots of background questions answered.
Excellent report, thank you both. The spirit of Valdur continues. He should run for president ;)
What this coverage really needs is a dog named Polly.
Will do!
when its safe for her paws ;-)
🤣 I understand that reference... 🤣🤣🤣
altogether, great video...thanks for posting
Thanks Alína and Art for the fresh and informative update 👍
Thank you so much for these video reports on the eruption in English, these are so valuable to me. I’ve been following the Icelandic eruptions since March 2021 from England, it’s just incredible to see active geology like this on our planet. Thank you for everything you’re doing at Iceland Review.
Very good reporting 👍
Some Tom Scott level of reporting! Did a great job of showing the context of the eruptions.
Great to have you back reporting Alina. I remember you from Grapevine at volcano in 2021. We drove on the now blocked road in July 2021. From Boston.
Thank you. It's definitely good to "see "some familiar faces! 😊✨
Thank you very much Alina. Following from Argentina the evolution of this natural phenomenon. Empathizing with the people and businesses of Grendavick.Above all, amazed at the work of those workers and engineers!
That's great reporting, informative and calm. Even said "oops" in English for me!
Thanks Alina and Art for this informative report Best wishes to Iceland from Scotland.
Amazing dudes! Big job saving a city. Looks like the walls indeed made a difference.
This is the first time this channel has come up for me. Interesting to hear an English speaking reviewer without a heavy Icelandic accent. I sub'd. Keep up the excellent coverage Alina. I have followed all the eruptions from the very first one several years back. I'm from Michigan, near Lake Michigan. And nice drone work Art. I remember the controversy when the protection berms were first discussed. Lot of people thought is was an expensive endeavor to save the Blue Lagoon and the power plant. Fast forward to today, the berms are the life blood of Grindavik and several other important parts of Iceland. Someday, I'd love to visit your country.
You did a great job presenting! Thank you!!
Thank you! 😊
Thank you for excellent informative personable reporting.
Delighted to see the legacy from Grapevine kept up, since they have fallen behind with "volcano cast". Alina scores high on the Valur Grettirsson scale with her charm and your channel has luckily inherited Art as a cameraman.
Excellent video. I like your format. Very informative. Very sad about Grindavik though. I enjoyed visiting there.
Incredible coverage and information! Thank you for your effort and work on this shoot!
well done, thank you, very informative.
thank youn Alina really good report,
In Hawaii where the lava meets the water there is not explosions just steaming, only in the vents where magma meets ground water is there phreatic action
Great report, Alína and Art. Thank you.
Excellent report and well presented with great camera shots.
I think you are going to need bigger boots 🙂
Plume, not plum :)
Vielen Dank fürs excellente Bericht. Tolle Aufnahmen noch dazu.
A big plum rising up during the eruption would definitely be something entirely new for the geologists, haha! Danke 😊
Love the Deep North podcast with Erik.
I have enjoyed watching this review. I have been watching these eruptions since the begening but never from the view of a ground reporter. I also liked the view from on top of the berm as if I was there myself. Just a small observation. Had the lava reached the lake or the sea it would not have caused a pyroclastic flow. It would have caused some dangerous gases though, as the interaction would change some of the water into acid. Pyroclastic flow is more dangerous and is a sudden explosion of the volcano which is filled with ash, gasses and tephra and then the sudden downward movement aided by gravity. Phyroclastic flows can reach speeds of hundreds of kms per hour and are the most deadly. I think what you ment was phreatic. It is the explosion that happened at 4pm when the magma met ground water. The water is turned instantly to steam which would expand about a thousand times having nowhere to go but up causing the explosion. Having said this I am not a volcanologist so if I am incorrect I hope someone corrects me.
Don't be shy Alina, your English is fine and perfectly understandable!
Thanks from The Netherlands.
Thanks for the great video very nice narrative take care
From Erie,PA USA. Your coverage is amazing. Thank you.
I'm glad I stumbled across this channel.
Careful in the boulders, Alina, so you don't break anything. Art, on the other hand... sure-footed as ever, like a mountain goat. I look forward to future reports from Iceland.
Many greetings from Germany.
Your doing an amazing job at keeping us informed, Watching from Leeds, UK
Only just discovered this stream and I have really enjoyed your update, I look forward to more reporting
Splendid report. keep doing this type of reporting including the bloopers. your channel is about to take off
Just discovered this channel. Very good video reporting and walk around that no one else is showing. Subscribed! 😎
Really interesting, thank you for your information and descriptions
Great reporting! Thank you!
I very much enjoyed your thorough reporting here, it reminds me of the excellent work of Valur and Polly that I used to see from the Reykjavik Grapevine's coverage of past volcanic eruptions there. Gratefully viewing from Casper, Wyoming USA.
Ich danke Dir, tolle Bilder. Gruß aus Hannover/ Deutschland
Very informative - thank you
Fascinating to see this as we drove that exact road last June on a visit.
Thanks alina for your fantastic work
I am so glad i found your UA-cam channel. Thank you for a wonderful video! ❤ Stay safe! ❤
Thank you
Thank you Alina, I follow you now. Greetings from the Netherlands.
Excellent reporting
Great job!
I believe Grindavik has emergency generators that can supply some electricity to the town.....
Great video. The reporting is excellent!
Well done, I am happy to see how you appreciate the piece of new earth volcanic rock. Very interesting report. Thanks.
Nice reporting thankyou i just found your channel
Very good report I hope you come back with further information. ❤
Same weather we are having where I am at. 11C, windy with a bit of rain.
Really good video.
Is it possible to push the lava away with a big dozer or exavator after it cool down a few days?
the radio masts are owned by US Navy according to several sources.....correct me if I am wrong....
is that isak finnbogason's drone flight clip at the end, I think it is... is he credited?
All of our footage (including drone clips) are shot by our mastermind Art Bicnick! But of course, there are only so many ways to shoot a volcano 😄🌋
@@icelandreview1963 ah thanks for answering, I was just following his stream live yesterday and it looked remarkably as the exact same angle and height
impressive... most impressive.
After the sea level rises, that will become Grindavik bay.
Haha sure
I came here just to compliment the pun in the title. :)
I want to go to Blue Lagoon, then get evacuated and run from the volcano. It's what all the cool kids do.
Nice wordplay on Between Two Ferns? :D
You got it!
Props to the videographer!
I've seen two conflicting maps on the extent of the lava flow up near the Blue Lagoon. One map shows the lava having crossed Grindavíkurvegur and the other shows it just before the road. Did the lava actually reach the highway?
On this eruption it stopped a few feet from the road. But the February 8 and March 16th eruptions both crossed the road. The February 8th eruption then destroyed the water pipes leading north from Svartsengi. The March eruption didn't reach those pipes.
Which is most dangerous the lava eruption or operating a camera while driving a car!!
Das sieht ja so irre aus! 😮
"Typical volcano smell" lmao
show the area where you show yourself
it was a brown plume mostly....cause by a phreatic magmatic explosion when the lave came into contact with ground water....it was quite intense for a short while....
❤
The sad reality is that Grindavik will be uninhabitable for the foreseeable future. The subsurface at Grindavik is like a swiss cheese, crevasses and cracks everywhere.
