- Lava flowed across a road near the Blue Lagoon, a luxury geothermal spa, which closed on Thursday after a volcano erupted for the second time this year and the third time since December.

It pumped lava up to 80 metres (260ft) into the air, disrupting life in the Reykjanes peninsula in the south-west of the country. The lava flow also hit thermal-based water pipes in the region just south of the capital, Reykjavík, disrupting the supply of hot water to more than 20,000 people and leading the Civil Protection Agency to raise its alert level to emergency status

@@justiceandfreedom5773 Ofc, when you've made it big, it would be dumb to go and do the little mans job, its illogical.
Lava moves so slow that there is no danger at all
It's actually nice working there', it's nice and warm

The description doesn't fully describe the disaster. Homes in Iceland are heated with steam from hydrothermal plants. not only do people have no hot water, they have no heat in their houses and temps are well below freezing.
It's NOT a disaster. It's geologic activity that's NORMAL for Iceland. The locals know how to handle these types of eruptions, they have been doing it for decades, possibly centuries. The people will be fine, they're not cut off, they're not going without water. Don't let the sensationalism of the internet trick you into thinking that they are just doomed. They're not. This is a small eruption and everyone is going to be OK.
I mean if they're cold I know of a place in Iceland that's currently very warm...
Not steam here. Hot water in pipes as in this case.
But sure, the hot water sometime is heated groundwater from hot steam as in the case of the Nesjavellir power plant near the Thingvalla lake, which is supplying the capital area with much of it´s hot water. The Reykjanes peninsula is supplied with hot water from the ground in Svartsengi power plant. - Cheers, an Icelander.
@@drunkenhobo8020it's a health hazard. Lots of toxic fumes around the lava.
@@MrKorton Thank you
Such a contrast… The lava on the snow. Hopefully the eruption will stop and people and property will stay safe.
Those crews are incredible...🇿🇦
❤
workers should get reward ! amazing job !
Headline is misleading. The blue Lagoon closed the MOMENT the eruption started.
Or indeed 20-30 minutes before, when earth tremors gave a little warning.
edit: Correcting myself. I've just seen a video where guests could see the volcano erupting from the carpark as they were evacuating.
Also, they’ve been building the lava barriers for weeks in other places in the region.
Mainstream media 101. Also, biden won The election, klauss schwab is your friend and bill gates dont want to depopulate
fireland
Blue Lagoon Tourists: Does this water seem to hot to you?
Blue Lagoon Corp: Nothing to be worried about.
Construction workers living the dream: The floor is literally lava
Hats off and BIG respect to those construction workers!!!
Looks like a much tougher cleanup job then our SoCal mud flows!
Actually it's really not that hard to dig through. They should be able to get that road back open within the week
@@deannelson9565 *week later* OMG IM ON FIRE lol
@@deannelson9565 It will take months for the lava to cool and the rocks will have to be built over.
You don't clean it up, you let it sit
@@incaseinever not when it's blocking the only road
Brave workers !
Independent journalism…why does it sound like all the others, if it’s independent? Bought and payed for, you mean.
I am so sorry Icelanders, I think mother nature has ideas of her own. Stay safe, my friends.
If the eruptions continue, particularly those taking place under water, it could lead to an expansion of the Icelandic territory.
too pwerful to stop best pull back to safer land & let it do its thing
Hope those crew members stay safe...looks dangerous...
They should not wait long to fix the warm water pipe otherwise with only cold water the vikings coming back.
Blue lagoon seems to never catch a break
er... it was already closed. Just as well...
Captions written by an intern with no information on the area at all.
One does not simply read this title without transitioning to the spongebob narrator's accent when they hit "Blue Lagoon."
Spa: I'm never going to financially recover from this...
Closed!? The Blue Lagoon Needs To Be Abandoned!
It will probably be destroyed by lava soon unfortunately
I hope it isn't abandoned. I liked the Blue Lagoon when I went there.
For safety, We don't want to see people dying a horrific death from contact with lava or steam or gas.@@johnbradshaw7525
@@johnbradshaw7525 many people in Iceland hate it, call it too expensive, the begged for moneybags during Cov but had a record year just before. Their handling is moneybased. Just like everything else in this country
@@Winston-b7i It's a tourist attraction. No-one is forced to go there. I thought it worth the money when I visited.
OMG 😱
Iceland ❌
Lavaland ❌

This is so horrible 😮😮😮😮😮😮
I paid for a visit to the Blue Lagoon the week it closed in November. Still not received my refund 3 months later...shameful!😳
Wow
never thought I'd see actual lava on snow
Best wishes to everyone in the area. Stay safe!
Parese un juguete la maquina al lado d la lava...
Sorry for turkish:
Benim annem 90 yaşına geliyor. Ömrü boyunca çalıştı. Hayatında hiç apartman temizliği yapmamıştı, son birkaç haftadır yaptırmaya başlamışlar sanıyorum. Ya da kendisi yapıyor.
Ömrü boyunca gençlere destek verdi çağla şikel gibi hmlara saldıranpar olduğunda ikimiz de savunduk. Severdik birçok ünlüyü.
Konuya geleyüm: 55 yaşıma geliyorum. Bu ülkeden çıkmış kimseye varsa hakkım helal etmiyorum. Herkes ettiği acıyı eziyeti bulsun. Hiç kimseye hak helal etmiyorum. Sosyo ekonomik kültrü yksek bir ebeveyn olsaydım, ahlaksız vicdansız film sanat bilim din ticareti yapanlar dahil, hiçbiri için evladımınçalışmasını istemezdim.
Saygılar 🙏
The construction workers reminded me of the scene from DUNE when the spice miners worked up to the last minute! Pretty Cool Dudes 👍 TFS, GB :)
This is only the Reykjanes peninsula
as opposed to the whole island.
area been stable since the 13th century
..unlike some other places.
Icelandic? Nah, Lavalandic
Not much point in staying open if you have to drive through red-hot lava to get there.
The floor is lava .😁😂🤣 Best black magic meme ever .🥰🥰❤️&understanding memes and black magic .
wow, what a land to live in! I have never seen lava flows or a volcano firing up. I hear it is possible to see a bunch in Guatemala, at night, whilst sipping a cold beverage.
"Scientists feat volcanic outbreaks in the island could continue for years." Its like its a volcanic hot spot or something. I heard scientists fear the same thing on the big island of hawaii.
Iceland sits on the mid-Atlantic ridge which is a divergent plate boundary, meaning the plates are pulling apart. But Iceland also sits on top of a hotspot just like Hawaii, which is why it's the only part of the mid-Atlantic ridge that is above water. Very fascinating geology in Iceland.
Being the Guardian I fully expected at least a paragraph outlining how this eruption was Trumps fault.
Like it should even be open?
iceland is always tectonically active
this is a very fast lava. due to its material composition.
it had to rise from the earth's core through the mantle, that's why it's speed. the lava temperature there is huge now, much higher than before.
and it will not subside. this is confirmed by the many earthquakes. these are not earthquakes, but lava rising from the core. so much pressure there now.
This is a start of a new volcano season in the area, the last one ended around the year 1200 and lasted for about four hundred years. This is just the start, Blue Lagoon and the town of Grindavík will go under lava at some point, just a question if it happens next month, next year or in ten years.
All in the world are making everything in the world since 1979 based on me i am fabished and thankful for it but what they do i need health insurance on outpatient basis and access to treatment from hospitals like mayo clinic
The name should temporarily be changed from iceland to lavaland
Land of Fire and Ice indeed!
The large population and immigrants played an important role in the eruption of the mountain because people wanted new land to exploit
If it doesn't stop (hope it does) , would it still be iceland...??
I wonder what if refrigerate front of lava by 20 Chemical fire engine.
Iceland The Land of "Fire", Greenland The Land of "Ice".
Other nations go through a lot hey. I wouldn't dream of living in a place that has as much cold and heat at the same time
Dont star lives in u land with volcano in place because it so dangerous
This is usually what happen when you build your house on a volcano
This is how ending times look like. Its all there. People just have to see it
What to expect... they're living on a volcan
Iceland should change its name to Lavaland
It's kinda like florida's gulf.
🤔 did they get the same coverage as Hawai'i ❓️
Blue lagoon more like frozen lagoon ha hah hah
This news is real. 😢I can't believe it
He’ll enlarged itself for all the devils
Iceland is the most misleading name
Looks like punk hazard 😅
Yikes it looks like that lava is moving faster than that backhoe can run from it.
The driver is screaming at the digger to go FASTER and promising it a fresh oil change.
The end of the world is near then we think
now spingebobe cante swum
Will need brushing off
Real life Punk Hazard
There is ice, then there is fire.
Aokiji and Akainu did that.
There's no way that lava 🌋 is flowing over snow and ice ❄️🌨️ like that
Fallait pas construire la bande de glo glo
Is that Akainu vs kuzan
How shall they stop it
akaino vs okiji be like:
Tinha q aparecer um desse na Russia
The need to put together dozer teams and start making a trench system. One digs out, the other pushes the spoils away from the encroaching side.
Edit: hopefully the volcanic ash enriches the soil.
akainu vs aokiji in real life.
Is this really news videos these days? You can't even have a whole sentence on the screen at once? Why is it always like this now?
Probably some YT mod's rules. lol
Well you can always read about it...
Buy a newspaper subscription.
Short answer = because there was still 0.0000000000039% worth of profit margin to be squeezed.
Akainu and aokoji

"Hey. whats the water temperature at right now?"
"Oh, about 3000 degrees."
That excavator a bit overestimated it's digging capabilities 😂

Iceland has become Fireland? That’s wild. They can move to Maine for 2 years free rent
Man. Sorry to hear bout your situation, Iceland. :(
I hope everyone misplaced is able to stay warm.

Japan's hot springs are all by natural volcanic vents.
All vents are under control.
