On your channel, there is a tab called 'Community' where you can leave your viewers a message and/or photo. I am glad that you are feeling better but I think you need more rest. Please take care of yourself. Thank you for the update. You are the best.
I came here to make this suggestion, too. I'm not sure how many followers also use other platforms frequently enough to look for updates there, but I know I check channels' Community tabs often.
I too came here to make the same suggestion! A quick note or some photos are quickly and easily posted. I am glad to hear you are feeling better but please don’t push yourself too hard yet - we don’t want you to relapse! Please take care of yourself, we will wait for you. Best regards from Canada 🇨🇦
You sound burnt out my friend. The images you share are exceptional. But I know you for your excitement and the smile I can hear in your voice. Trying times I’m sure. Charge your personal batteries. Upload when you can, I don’t watch the others.
Same. The first place I'm usually looking for updates is if there is a pinned comment on the most recent video or a message in the community tab. The community allows sharing images which is nice. Its not the greatest platform for images as I can't seem to properly zoom or enlarge them on mobile. But its better than having to check a different social media platform altogether. I personnally don't use FB and IG only very rarely. Also, Twitter/X is dead to me since Elon happened.
That fence legitimately gives me hope Because it proves there is a stage of a flow where it still can creep forward. But the heat is well insulated. And the forward push is weak enough it can’t even push over a humble picket fence, and instead follows the fence line. Granted that clearly happened as the flow stopped, but it still proves an important point. A regular garden fence can act as an effective barrier against slow moving flow front. Which sounds freaking ridiculous and dumb but we can see evidence it undeniably happened. And based on everything I’ve seen with the ingenuity, dedication abs bravery of Icelanders, I know they can use that fact to their advantage.
@@opalishmoth8591 I think the primary reason the fence "worked" is because the lava vent stopped pretty fast, so by the time the lava reached the fence line it didn't have the weight/pressure of additional (liquid) lava pushing the cooled down lava forward through the fence. Conversely, that is also what makes the current situation so alarming. The town's barriers were ONLY made to stop a SHORT-term lava flow like the previous eruptions, rather than a continuous flow that occurred repeatedly during the "tourist" eruptions to the NW in previous years. Obviously, with the 3+ months they have had those city barriers could (should) be a lot more robust by now, but as to the reasons why that wasn't done, this isn't the time or place for that discussion.
Over the last 2 years I have been so intrigued and captivated by Iceland. It's now like a second home. So thank you for your updates and your amazing videos.
Flickr is a great platform - many scientists use it because of an ideal album - collection structure! I would love to see your work on Flickr! - Cheers, and thanks for your work! - Greetings from Germany! Dirk
I don't know anything about building up a platform and a channel but I'm pretty sure your followers will continue following with anticipation and prayers for Iceland... Thank you for giving the effort to bringing us information and emotional understanding of what is happening there... God be with you all...
I am loving your citizen journalism about the on-going issues of iceland. I admit to checking your channel first because I get the trifecta of good information, beautiful videography, and a calm measured approach. Thank you, Gylfi, very much.
Maybe just post a note on you UA-cam page if you go down...for whatever reason... mechanical, technical, health or family issues (it happens - that's life)...we don't need the personal details...just enough to say you're down and will be away for a time bc of course we are invested in you and your well being!!! A great update and crazy how that lava flow was teasing that fence!!! Take good care of yourself, get better soon...God bless...
I was very happy to find you here again. Thank you! Your blend of fact and heart (not to be confused with sensationalist melodrama) was dearly missed during your absence.
Gylfi- Hope you well 👍 Thank you once again for your most wonderful Drone footage, where we be with your good self, Shawn and Amanda Jo. Take care, be safe 🇮🇸🌋👍🙏
Love your channel. I think this is the first time I actually became concerned for someone I only know through youtube so glad to hear your feeling better and hope everything works out for the best for you and all of the people of Iceland!
Dear Just Icelandic~ I hope you keep feeling better and better. These are crazy days, and you and your perspective are very helpful and important. I’m not sure if this is what you are looking for…. Other channels I’ve seen use YT Community posts to share off-YT Web sites where they post articles, pictures, etc.; and also post Community notifications for the channel. I’ve been following you since this craziness started three years ago (!), remembering the impact to air traffic from the 2010 eruption. It is hard not to wonder and worry. It does not matter that we have never met. On this side of the Internet I am heart-broken for Grindavik’s residents and marvel at Icelanders resilience. Keeping in touch matters. Thank you for everything!
Those truckers are heros and should be given recognition and Icelandic award. They have been so hardworking. I saw a vid of a digger trawling through cooling lava yesterday. My goodness not many people would do that. I hope you look after yourself. Don't do too much yet. Get well soon. X
best wishes Gylfi, a large part of what makes you receive so much sincere empathy is your measured content, no click bait, no rhetoric or scaremongering. Rather strong analytical observation and information gathering with considered reflection on solid science. Keep yourself healthy for this long journey. (i've been doing student tutorial feedback all week so apologies if this comment sounds like that)
Hi Gylfi, what a brilliant update. I think you have the most realistic, informative and factual posts about the occurrence on Iceland. Thank you! I hope you are feeling better! 😊
Another video so soon! Happy dance! Hope you are feeling better and regaining your strength. My family and I follow all your uploads and were talking about how we hoped you'd be able to get all the footage you wanted. Your drone shots are fantastic and your fingers are crossed for your future trips to the South. Take care. Much Aloha :D
I found your channel through these recent eruptions but i will stay for your personality, story telling, photography and videography. Your beautiful country needs showcasing and you're the one i want to see doing it. Take care of yourself!
So glad you are beginning to feel better. Thank you for sharing your extraordinary videos with us. Looking forward to your future collaborations with Professor Shawn Willsey.
I'm so glad to hear from you Gylfi...and the news that you bring...please look after yourself and rest ...work will always be there...Iceland and her volcanoes will be there... Greetings from Scotland🌋🌠
Those truck drivers are really brave doing really important work saving infrastructure and helping divert the lava flow. The aerial shots of the extent of the lava are amazing. I hope maybe after this eruption it fizzles out as with the previous eruptions in those other valleys in previous years. Thanks for updating.
I appreciate the quality over quantity of videos. You say so much in so few words I have to watch the videos at least twice, a two for one deal. Or layered meanings, like the gravel on the lava on the road on the...
I have missed your voice! Your drone documentation & comments with your wonderful accent have made Iceland real. To me you are the heart & song of the land. I was fortunate in my younger years to go to school with a gal who's family came to the Midwest USA originally from Iceland. I've always been intrigued, by the geology AND the culture brave enough to make this primal dramatic geographical area a place called HOME! I will wait & watch for your work whenever you post these beautiful video's. A future visit to this Island has been on my bucket list for a long while & will remain. In the meanwhile your videos will satisfy until I can. Thank you, be well. Take care of yourself.
Fantastic update! I've been following your updates for months and really appreciate the work that you put into the videos. I find the graphics really useful as well, particularly when following night-time developments.
My wife and I visited your country 2 years ago and we felt in love with it. We did visit the first eruption, and from your videos we can see how big the new ones have affected the same area and getting worst. thanks for your videos and your great info about those mother earth things. Great drone videos you make. tks again
Thankyou for your comprehensive and informative summary of the current situation. I a especially appreciative of how you orient the drone shots for us not familiar with the area. I was hoping this system may resolve itself with this eruption so the locals can get back to normal, and that seems it may be the case. This eruption is continuing to be unpredictable, and will continue to pose a danger to the surrounding area.
We always stand by waiting for an update from you. We have been following you for so long now, it is as if we know you. My family is now in the process of planning a trip to Iceland either this summer or for sure next. Thank you for all you do, we very much appreciate it! Cheers, Rick
We were distraught when you were absent for so many days, then sorry for being so selfish when we realised you'd been ill! Please look after yourself - we need you!
It’s good to hear from you Gylfi. I watched the quarry filling up on Thursday on Isak Finnbogsan’s channel. I may have misspelled his name. He had lost his drone on Wednesday and had to borrow one from a dealer. The weather had the drones using up their batteries in minutes. It was quite spectacular to see the lava actually melt away the ridge above the quarry and finally he was given permission to go to the quarry where he didn’t have to fight the winds. You should watch his last video. I’m happy to see you are back to work again. Bye for now from Ontario Canada 👋🇨🇦👋
You've kept us well informed about everything to do with Grindavik and the surrounding areas for the past few months JI and we all thank you for your efforts!😊
Hi Gylfi Thankyou so much for your last 2 videos - I’ve been waiting for them as I absolutely love your channel. Sorry the flue hit you so hard and at the wrong time. Take care and I look forward to the next video
Thank you for all your efforts. I have been watching, and following these intriguing volcanic eruption’s since the first one started. Your Mabs and diagrams and pictures are so educational and understanding what’s happening in Iceland. And also such a geologic education on volcanoes and vents and lava and movements. I have been sharing them with my friends, and now they understand why it is so captivating to watch your images and listen to your descriptions. Get some rest and get healthy. Thank you for all you do.
I, too, watched Isak's spectacular drone footage; he's on my short list (after you) of the ever fascinating story of your island. I just can't miss any of it!
It was so good to hear from you, and you do have a lot of us who are concerned about you when there is silence for some time. Especially with all that is going on with the latest eruption. I hope you Continue to recover so that you feel like reporting the videos and comparisons from past eruptions and changes in the land as well as what they plan to do with Grindavik. So the lava flow we saw to days ago did fill the quarry? I figured that night it would be full by morning. Take care of your health…watching from Texas, Jules❤
Make sure to get enough rest. Thanks for the update and the link to Isak’s channel. He has been working very hard to fly in difficult weather recently. His footage of the lava flows advancing across the roads the gravel quarry was excellent yesterday.
Your coverage of the truckers building the lava barriers is an essential part of the story. I welcome more such details of the strenuous efforts of humans to battle the unrelenting forces of nature. I’m amazed that a lava barrier is even possible. The speedy accomplishment of this engineered response is even more amazing. Those truckers are heroes! Was such a barrier even considered possible at Heimaey eruption several years ago?
Good wishes for a fast, full recovery from your illness. And for the evolution of this eruption in a direction that sends it in a safe path. Those truckers really are heroes!
Government really should designate you officially as Press so you can get around restrictions. Not only do you provide volcano news but also do a great job of promoting Icsland when things are calmer. Plus you have an audience of almost 100,000 and you always do beautiful work.
Very brave truckers working in the hot lava, crazy... get better soon. I appreciate your excellent videos, drone photography and your mellifluous voice
You are amazing for producing this video for all of us, Gylfi. Get better and fully recover! There will be lots more opportunities for you to report via drone/video for this eruptive event, as it looks right now. Thank you for making all the sacrifices so we can get a clearer understanding of what is happening here. All the best to you.
Thank you for the update. Please make sure you wrap up warm and take time to recover fully . Those amazing workers who are building new barriers and roads are absolute heroes and I hope Iceland honours them accordingly.
Your updates are the best. Not only do you capture the scientific information but talk about the human side of this experience... The people, the community, the businesses that we have all come to care about as well as you... Thank you from your friend in New Zealand.. ❤
Thank you for the update. Yes, the truck drivers are true the heros in this situation. I guess all over the world people admire the way Icelanders handle this volcano. The news is mixed: on the one hand it would be good for the economy if this eruption could be turned into a tourist attraction, on the other hand more lava means more risk for Grindavik,
We are just glad you're returning to good health, Gylfi. This is such a great video, with lots of the Before & After that shows the big picture so well. It has been quite a 'show' watching the progress of the lava flows, on both Shawn Wilsey's and Isak's channels. Today's tech for live-streaming is just amazing. Love the footage of the Super-Fence! The contractor or builder who put that in, should really use it for advertising...
We are all rooting for you. Great pictures and thank you for being levelheaded about the situation. Too many people put huge titles and click bait to get subscribers. Hopefully this mess will calm down or even be over soon so you can get back home and rest. Glad you are collaborating with other Icelanders , a good example for the resilience of the Icelandic people.
Thanks Gylfi. It was very interesting seeing the drone footage from before November. It's amazing how much has changed - cracks through the town, berms all around, lava flowing into town, the quarry now completely filled and then some, and all the land around the berms completely changed. It's amazing that the south coast road survived, especially when we saw on Isak's footage how much lava was on the move when it inundated the quarry. I look forward to you having a chat with Shawn Willsey when he gets back from Europe.
Glad you're feeling better! I'm a worst-case-scenario thinker, so I'm relieved to hear it was just the flu and not something like a heart attack. You make great videos. Greetings from Michigan, USA.
Another amazing video! I love how artful your work is in addition to being so very informative. I agree with others posting here...the Community tab seems like a great resource to use and will keep you from having more work with inventing something totally new. I also agree with others suggesting that you rest some more and regain more of your strength so as to avoid a relapse! There will always be lava events in Iceland....but there is only one YOU with your talent, so please do take time for yourself.
On your channel, there is a tab called 'Community' where you can leave your viewers a message and/or photo. I am glad that you are feeling better but I think you need more rest. Please take care of yourself. Thank you for the update. You are the best.
I came here to make this suggestion, too. I'm not sure how many followers also use other platforms frequently enough to look for updates there, but I know I check channels' Community tabs often.
Yes a quick little wave to us on the Community Tab just to let us know he is safe is all we need.
I too came here to make the same suggestion! A quick note or some photos are quickly and easily posted.
I am glad to hear you are feeling better but please don’t push yourself too hard yet - we don’t want you to relapse!
Please take care of yourself, we will wait for you.

Yes..please feel better❤ Love your voice...God Bless you❤️
The visual of the lava right up against the wooden fence is just crazy!
Whoever built that fence is damn good at their job! 😄
That fence legitimately gives me hope
Because it proves there is a stage of a flow where it still can creep forward.
But the heat is well insulated.
And the forward push is weak enough it can’t even push over a humble picket fence, and instead follows the fence line.

Oh those truck drivers are doing an amazing job clearing the lava! Thankyou for the update, please take care of your health
Clearing or covering ?
I thought it was blocking rather than clearing. That’s why they were using the gravel from the quarry I gather there’s another quarry they can use
@@DB-pm2vy On The Road Genius. They're Clearing Lava From The Road.
PLEASE take the time you need! You are very important to so many of us outside Iceland, and not just for your videos! Take care.
Thank you Gylfi, you are my go-to for news from Iceland. You are much-loved around the world. ❤ from 🇳🇿

It’s good to hear from you Gylfi.
I watched the quarry filling up on Thursday on Isak Finnbogsan’s channel. I may have misspelled his name.
He had lost his drone on Wednesday and had to borrow one from a dealer.
The weather had the drones using up their batteries in minutes.
It was quite spectacular to see the lava actually melt away the ridge above the quarry and finally he was given permission to go to the quarry where he didn’t have to fight the winds.
You should watch his last video.
I’m happy to see you are back to work again.

Hi Gylfi Thankyou so much for your last 2 videos - I’ve been waiting for them as I absolutely love your channel. Sorry the flue hit you so hard and at the wrong time. Take care and I look forward to the next video

Takk! I truly missed you ❤🌋
So glad to hear you are feeling better Gylfie. We always look forward to your updates and glad you are back to give them. :)
You are amazing for producing this video for all of us, Gylfi. Get better and fully recover! There will be lots more opportunities for you to report via drone/video for this eruptive event, as it looks right now. Thank you for making all the sacrifices so we can get a clearer understanding of what is happening here. All the best to you.
It is fascinating to watch the unfolding news. I watch every day as there is nothing on the news channels. Judy. Cape Town, South Africa

Thank you for the update. Yes, the truck drivers are true the heros in this situation. I guess all over the world people admire the way Icelanders handle this volcano. The news is mixed: on the one hand it would be good for the economy if this eruption could be turned into a tourist attraction, on the other hand more lava means more risk for Grindavik,
So glad you are back 😊
Glad you are feeling better. Thank you for your content. Love to you and Iceland from MIchigan
Thank you so much!
We are just glad you're returning to good health, Gylfi. This is such a great video, with lots of the Before & After that shows the big picture so well. It has been quite a 'show' watching the progress of the lava flows, on both Shawn Wilsey's and Isak's channels. Today's tech for live-streaming is just amazing.
Love the footage of the Super-Fence! The contractor or builder who put that in, should really use it for advertising...
We are all rooting for you. Great pictures and thank you for being levelheaded about the situation. Too many people put huge titles and click bait to get subscribers. Hopefully this mess will calm down or even be over soon so you can get back home and rest. Glad you are collaborating with other Icelanders , a good example for the resilience of the Icelandic people.
Always Enjoy your updates.. Feel Better Soon Sir.. and Best Regards from Canada !
Please rest and get well!
I visited Iceland a few years ago. Praying that everything works out so the towns are not affected
dont over do it just because you feel better ha! was a really nasty flu too this last round i had.... take care as always Gylfie
Thanks Gylfi. It was very interesting seeing the drone footage from before November. It's amazing how much has changed - cracks through the town, berms all around, lava flowing into town, the quarry now completely filled and then some, and all the land around the berms completely changed. It's amazing that the south coast road survived, especially when we saw on Isak's footage how much lava was on the move when it inundated the quarry. I look forward to you having a chat with Shawn Willsey when he gets back from Europe.
Much Love and blessings for all the good people in Grindavik. Sending prayers for your safety, from Michigan usa
Glad you're feeling better! I'm a worst-case-scenario thinker, so I'm relieved to hear it was just the flu and not something like a heart attack. You make great videos. Greetings from Michigan, USA.
Another amazing video! I love how artful your work is in addition to being so very informative. I agree with others posting here...the Community tab seems like a great resource to use and will keep you from having more work with inventing something totally new. I also agree with others suggesting that you rest some more and regain more of your strength so as to avoid a relapse! There will always be lava events in Iceland....but there is only one YOU with your talent, so please do take time for yourself.
Good advice. Rest and drink lots of water.❤❤❤❤❤
