Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 вер 2024
- We are looking at the town's last moments as we have always know it as the lava from the second fissure is about to burn down the first residential houses. It was evacuated last night when the earthquakes started so there have been no injuries but it's clear that we are going trough a terrible event and the future of the town looks bad. When this upload is ready, I'm off to Reykjavik from there I will do my report as long as I have to. Check the links until then.

Thank you for visiting the Just Icelandic Channel.
Greetings from Iceland. Gylfi
RIP for the poor man who fell into the fissure and my condolences to everyone who loved him.
rip to this man and prayers for sll property and other lives in danger
He saved the Towns people
@@Heyiya-ifwhat task?
What happened?
Somebody fell into the lava fissure?! Are you kidding me???
Oh no :(
I am so deeply sorry for you , Gylfi, and the people of this historic village. It must be horribly disheartening for you and the villagers to see this new fissure opening up. Thank you for your excellent reports. Be extremely careful in that area, great photo journalism isn’t worth it if you are harmed in the process. Concerned from Vancouver.
would have been instant death "RIP"
I’m so sorry Gylfi. Thank you for keeping us informed. Please stay safe. Love to Iceland from 🇺🇸
Unfortunately, natural disasters are increasing rapidly. We all need to be prepared to face them. Learn what to do in different disasters, prepare emergency evacuation backpacks, and at least a week's supply of food and water in case of a loss of electricity, water and heating.
But the most important thing everyone needs to do now is to start talking openly about our biggest problem - climate and the true cause of its change - 12,000-year cosmic cycle.
All the details and solution on how to avoid the demise of the planet and all of humanity are voiced here: "Global Crisis. The Responsibility"
Bollocks .
@@thomassmith4678 What we really need is a Arificial intelligence that removes brainded comments like that. Maybe one day I get my wish.
@@thomassmith4678 Wait, are you saying global warming caused this?
@magnismarason3379 These changes are not related to global warming, human activity, CΟ2 and Greta's tαΙes. Carbon taxes and limiting emissions will do nothing.
Stay strong Iceland. Compassion sent for your hearts.
Appreciated
@@JustIcelandic I can not imagine what you & your neighbors are going through at the moment! All the very best to you during this challenging time!
My heart goes to the people of Grindavik and Iceland. Drive carefully!
Will you condemn Hamas?
@@mortaljorma69 WTF are you brain dead?? what does your comment have to do with this disaster???? Stick your politics somewhere else!
@@mortaljorma69 Yes, and I condemn you too. You're a horrific person.
@@mortaljorma69 I condemn Hamas & I condemn Bibi Netanyahu.
well a good side to this ... the roads wont be icy ...
From one formerly devastated city in Christchurch NZ to your town in Grindavik, we are so sorry to see what is happening and we are with you all Gylfi and the people of Iceland. Kia kaha - in Mãori this means we wish you strength.
Kia kaha... I don't know why but that just made me cry. what a beautiful word.
Things like that are only going to get worse (Matthew 24:7, KJV).
As horrible as it is to lose homes and property, it's good to know that the families of Grindavik were all evacuated and safe. Love and prayers for the family of the worker who was lost. Hoping for the best outcome for the town. Thank you for your coverage!
Awkward to give a thumbs up to such bad news, but it is of course to thank you, Gylfi, for the update and to encourage you at what must be a very challenging time. Safe travels.
It was saddening to hear about Ludvik Petursson. I hope he did not suffer, and I hope his family is able to bear the pain of his passing. Keeping the wonderful people of Iceland in our hearts.
Thank you for the update, stay safe , love from Canada
Thank you very much, appreciated
USA Suffolk Virginia here. This is incredible footage and narrative. The scenery is beautiful despite the open fissures on the edge of Grindavik. I am praying for all of you.
Gylfi I'm sorry, I can hear the sorrow and pain in your voice, you have such a connection to Grindavik. I hope the damage will be minor and things will stop quickly. Thinking of you and of all the residents of Grindavik, very tough time right now.
The thing is, even if the eruption stops quickly and destruction is minor the town is still in danger of new eruptions. So in a way it would be better to think the town is lost.
It breaks my heart to see the lava pushing forward and the residential area burning. I cannot imagine how horrible it must feel to sit infront of your screen and be forced to watch your house burn down live.
I hope that the lava is not going much further and also that there might be some governmental support for those affected.
Heartfelt sympathy for the man who died. Horrific conditions for those who lived in that area. Comforting to know that all evacuated in time.
Iceland is literally a lava field, it was inevitable.
Lol the government can’t support shit right now
Time to move, afterall,living on a volcano is not the brightest thing to do.
❤😭
Sincere condolances from the UK, thankful all residents are safe and we are so sad for the worker who lost his life this week, god bless his soul, family, friends and coworkers.
The cycle of Planet Earth is an amazing specticle, a continuous cycle of destruction and birth.
Really sorry Gylfi, sending love to all who live in and/or love Grindavik and the Grindavikings. Thanks for the update, this sounds really rough on you. Safe travels, and love to Iceland from the UK
An awful situation 😞. I know that Grindavik holds a special place in your heart, Gylfi, so my thoughts go out to you and all the residents who have had this visited upon them. Thoughts and best wishes also to those brave people working tonight on a berm to try to save the western part of town.
It's a lot of lava coming down so it's not ease to defend the west part, but we have some mighty good people working there now
I am saddened by these events and all my thoughts are with the people of Iceland that are going through this. My thoughts are with all of you. After a decade of knowing my Icelandic friends, I am never without hope though. You are all so much stronger and resilient than you give yourselves credit for. You have fire and ice running through your veins and I just know that you all will manage these times to the best of your abilities and come out stronger. Hugs to all of you and know that you have friends around the world.
What a great loss! I pray for the residents of that precious fishing town. God help you in new beginnings. 🙏🏼❤️💯
Such sadness Gylfi, I was really hoping you guys would win the battle to save Grindavik! Sorry to hear of the loss of the contractors life and sympathy to his family. To yourself and all the people of Grindavik stay safe n well on the Beautiful Volcano Island ICELAND. TFS, GB :)
Grindavik isnt gone just yet. Battle isnt lost, but damage has been done and will continue to accumulate. Only time will tell how this ends.
Yeah not over till it's over hoping for the best outcome.@@magnismarason3379
Oh Gylfi I’m so crushed for Grindavik and her people; all the hard work that’s gone into protecting the town and nature just says No! I will be praying for Iceland’s people as they grapple with this difficult trial😥 please stay safe, my friend🤗
Thank you for the update. I'm so sorry for the people of Grindavik, since the situation doesn't look good for the town. Also, I'm very sorry for the family and friends of the person that was lost in the crack. That's such a tragic event. Drive safely.
Thank you for this update. I am so sorry to hear that this beautiful fishing village is facing such incredible hardship.
Sending love from the High Desert in Oregon, surrounded by the Cascade Mountains.
Our demographics here are built on previous volcanic activity. What you are experiencing could happen to us. Our mountains are dormant but not dead. Mount Hood shows seismic activity from time to time. The South Sister has a growing bulge on the West side. My guess is; it’s not over until they say so.
Love and light to you all❤
My understanding is they're not all dormant at all. It's just been. some time since they've erupted. Mt. St. Helens showed that in the '80's. I'm not trying to be an alarmist, but I've seen a few documentaries that says the tectonic plates that the cascades are part of will, at some time, produce earthquakes and tsunamis like nothing the west coast has ever seen. As bad if not worse as the Alaskan earthquake in the 60's, but more widespread.
@@dod2304 I get where you are coming from. Someday this all could happen. Dormant just means inactive so right now they are dormant not dead. If you look at the USGS EARTHQUAKE App you can see all the earthquakes in real time around the World. I grew up in the Central Coast Range Mountains here in Oregon. I wouldn’t say you’re an alarmist. We hear this all the time. The plates are always moving real estate around and that is how hills and mountains are formed. When Mt. St Helen’s erupted in March of 1980, it was just so incredible to see that plume of ash move through the sky on just the most beautiful sunny Sunday morning. I shall never forget it. Now I live on the East side of the Cascade Mountains and I can see Mt. Bachelor, Broken Top, Mt. Washington, Mt Jefferson, the Three Sisters from my home. If I want to drive a couple of miles North Mt. Hood comes into view. I live in one of the most beautiful parts of Oregon and it takes around 30 minutes to drive up to Mt. Bachelor if you want to go skiing. In the Summer you can ride the lift to the top and on a clear day you can see Mt. Shasta in California. I do hope that we don’t have anymore eruptions, earthquakes or tsunami’s anytime soon. We try not to think about it anyway. My heart goes out to all the people in Grindavik right now.
Thank you for the update, Gylfi. As someone with family in and around Reykjavik, I appreciate your in depth information and drone footage. I know I can count on you for accurate information. My sister and I visited family in October-early November and have been following this news hoping for a miracle for Grindivik. My heart goes out to the families and I hope that all people stay safe.
Dear Just Icelandic~
May you and the beautiful people of Iceland - especially Grindavik - feel the love and support from out here in the great unknown. I’m just a viewer from the US northeast, but I am overwhelmed to think what is happening right now. I watched Shawn Willsey’s drone livestream earlier but could not watch his second flight - too devastating.
Be well and be safe in your travels. Godspeed….
This is such a sad situation for everyone involved. My thoughts go out to the people of Grindavik and Iceland. Safe travels Gylfi and stay safe. Thanks for the update.
Prayers lifted for the entire community. Sending caring love and prayers to Iceland from New Mexico, USA
Thank you very much, appreciated
prayers for the people of Grindavik and all of Iceland
Excellent report. Best wishes to you and your fellow Icelanders from Colorado USA
So sorry to hear all of this. This is difficult to digest. Hopefully everyone is out safely. Apparently there will be property loss. However as long as everyone is safe the material things can be eventually replaced. stay safe in your travels. We appreciate the updates and education we receive from you. Prayers and good thought to the people of Iceland.
Not sure how it is difficult to digest when the entire town is built on a lava field.
@@ThyalwaysseekThe whole country is full of volcanoes, these places were settled in ancient times. It’s not like they just decided to build there. Show some compassion for people’s suffering, it’s not difficult if your family were suffering with a natural disaster, which honestly can happen to anyone on the planet, and is happening right now all around the world, some on a small scale, others with a much larger scale. You will find your life is better when you show some compassion towards others.
Sorry for this grim news for Grinavik and the people of Iceland. As always - safe travels.
My sympathies to you and all residents of Grindavic for what they have lost.
It's sad, but are only so many things within our control when dealing with volcanos. I'll be praying for the people and their safety ❤
I am so sorry this is happening. Thank you for this summary, this was brilliantly done. God bless you and God bless Iceland and all of it's people. Best wishes from the UK. Please stay safe xx
Sending love and prayers from California! Stay safe! ❤
I'm so sorry for the people of Grindavik. I hope the extra time allowed everyone to collect their precious belongings and perhaps not all hope for the town is gone. When volcanoes are involved, we humans really are at their mercy. The earthquakes must be very unsettling too. Wishing all the best outcomes for Icelanders 💚💚
I am so sorry Sir. Please stay safe. Prayers for you from Oregon USA
You're probably on the road, now. I pray you have safe travels. My heart goes out to you and the people of Grindavik. We're with you however we can be through this journey.
Thank you for all you do, Gylfi.💜🍀
Before going to bed last night one of the webcams streaming live on YT was recommended to me. This was about an hour after the first fissure opened up. Knowing nothing else than what I saw on the screen I did not think it would be a very good night for Grindavik.
Thank you for your update. The future is still so unclear and the end no where in sight. May you all have the strength to continue on.
Stay safe and thanks for the update. Not what we hoped for and my heart goes to the people of Grindhval and everyone else affected. Love to Iceland from 🇳🇴
Thank you for keeping us informed.All the best to you!Here is Canada we feel for the Icelandic people and wish you to be safe.
Thank you very much
Sending my deepest condolences to those who have been and those who will be affected by this tragedy.
I think we forget that this isn't entertainment. This is real life affecting real people. Just thinking about that man falling into a fissure makes me sick.
Gylfi, I'm so sorry. Hang in there, man. ❤
Sending heartfelt thoughts to the people of Grindavik for their terrible loss. Knowing the strength of the Icelandic people I hope they can salvage something from their town and return to peace and prosperity. 🇮🇸🇬🇧❤
Thank you for your updates, Gylfi. This is tragic. Prayers for your safety as you report and the security of the town and its citizens.
Prayers and thoughts to your entire Icelandic family.
Prayers many prayers to all of you. You have been in the heart of many throughout this challenge
You are strong!❤
I am so sorry for the people who are risking of losing their homes. Thank you for the update
Thank you for the update. So sorry for the town and people who are affected by this new situation. Take care.
Thanks, will do
Prayers for all those affected by this natural disaster!
As ever, thank you for the work you do. I live on the plains of the US but, as strange as it may sound, I've grown attached to the town of Grindavik and it's trials. I hope that the town can rise again. Be safe in your travels.
I am so so sorry for what is happening to your town. It is simply unimaginable what you’re all going through right now.
Oh my gosh im so sad for you all. Thank you Gilfi for taking time to update us all on these tragic events. Wishing you well and be safe from Scotland......Alioban ❤
I am so sorry that this is happening, I have been praying for the wonderful people of Grindavik since I started hearing about this in November. I camped there in September, and walked the peninsula park in early morning and had eaten dinner in town the night before. I was captivated by how friendly the people were here, and how charming the town was, I am heartbroken that all the effort has been over come by mother nature. I will be praying that the eruption ends soon, and all of those folks can get back to life soon.
We are so sad to see this! Thank you for your most informative updates and insights!
Such a sad situation. Bless you all. Keep safe please. 🙏🏼
I saw you in the chat of Shawn Willsey's live stream yesterday. Please know that the trolls posting insensitive comments do not represent the majority of people - our hearts go out to you and those affected by this disaster.
Thank you Gylfi! I'm so sorry for the people of Grindavik!
Gylfi, over the months, I have been watching your wonderful videos and fell in love with Iceland. Thank you. This is crushing news about the Grendavik community as we think of the Grendavik residents, you, Icelanders, and everyone around the world who holds a special place for Iceland. It is hard to watch and read about what is happening. Indiana, USA sends our thoughts for everyone's safety, strength and peace. I am sorry.
Prayers for the man who was lost to this disaster and all his family and friends.🙏. Prayers, too, for all the people who had to evacuate from the town. 🙏
Any mention of supernatural forces just demonstrates that you're massively off your head.
Your updates illustrate both the physical and emotional impact of the eruption. And for that we thank you. Best regards.
I'm so sorry for all the suffering Grindavik is facing right now... Its sad that the fisher got the town... God be with you all in the days ahead...
Ran into this content by accident. I visited Iceland once a few years ago and fell in love with the landscape and the people. My condolences to the family of the person who fell in. Hoping as many as possible stay safe, including the OP
Hello Gylfi, I'm following from this morning, so sad for the people in Grindavik 😖
Heartbreaking scenes. Poor people of Grindavik living with so much uncertainty for so many months, and just when it was looking like disaster was avoided, they now suffer again. Looking at your 3D rendition of the town it is very sad to see the path the lava will take and the houses that are in danger's way. Thank you for your reporting. Our hearts go out to the people of Grindavik.
Greetings. Thank you for your update, we send our well wishes and prayers to you and your follow countrymen. Stay safe.
Thankyou for keeping us all updated. Thoughts and prayers from Australia to you all
Take care and thank you for the updates. Our thoughts are with you and the people of Grindavik.
It's a terrible event...you and your people endure so much in the climate of your country..then to have this added trouble..my most sincere condolences...
May you all find safety...love from America 🇺🇲...
🌿🌿🌿
We are busy with daily problems and don't notice that our planet is in the process of destruction. The number of natural disasters is growing every day and if we don't take action urgently, in 5-7 years everyone's life will turn into hell.
Figure out what is really happening to our planet and what we can do to survive: *"Global* *Crisis.* *The* *Responsibility"*
Thank you for the update Gylfi. Sending cooling and calming energy to Grindavik. Safe travels. 💜
I hope there is no more casualties! Towns can be rebuild, but no life can be replaced. Sure its sad to loose your familiar places, but at least it is no ones fault. Nature is nature, and little we can do to fight back. Love and strength to all of you in Volcano Island!❤🩹
Heartfelt prayers go out to all of you in Ice Land, please stay safe and thank you so much for keeping us informed
Hurts to hear the sadness in your voice, I’m so sorry for the town in such danger. We can hope this fissure system dies out soon.. but I know there are other issues to contend with in that area. ❤❤❤❤❤
So sorry to hear it. You’re showing a commendable strength in sharing your thoughts and feelings here. We can learn from you. Thank you
Such sad news. I'm so sorry for how bad it has gotten for the townspeople of Grindavik.
From Florida, USA, so sorry to hear of this tragedy. I hope the people of Grindavik are safe and Iceland can recover from all of this.
So sad to see this :'( My heart goes out to all the people affected. Stay safe!
Thank you Gylfi for your great work and feedback. Good luck with all the challenges, care and tesponsibility. You are in our hearts and Prayers. Rosa from Gauteng. SA
Thank you so much!
Thinking of you and all Icelandic people - especially those from Grindavik.
I’m so pleased that you updated every day with news, unfortunately very sad see this beautiful land destroyed by nature, which was created by them .Always I follow volcanos , but it’s incredible how government try to protect and preserve the town and care the people on Grindavik. Stay safe Gylfy and thanks again for your excellent coverage.🙏🇨🇦
So very sorry for your losses. This is terrible for Grindavik. 🥀
Prayers for all. My family's love goes out to Iceland. We got the privilege to live in Keflavik at the US Military base back in 1993 for 2 years. Such a beautiful country and Icelanders are so kind and friendly.
This is horrible news! I was praying that the town would be spared. Did everyone get out safely? Hopefully the eruption will not last long!
Oh, dear, so very sorry for the lost man; deepest condolences for his loved ones. . . and for all the losses you snd your countrymen are experiencing. Thank you for your amazing efforts in keeping us advised. Loving energy in the face a this ongoing tragedy. From Virginia, USA 🙏🏼♥️🙏🏼🐅
The machinery operators have serious courage driving that digger along the wall when the larva was against it. Hopefully it will stop before the larva does too much damage
Thanks for keeping us updated, but more importantly stay safe. Thanks for everything so far!
Stay safe Gylfi
Thank you very much. Stay safe. Best wishes to you and the People of Iceland.
Thank you! Will do!
Such heartbreaking news. Thinking of everyone in Iceland today, especially the people of Grindavik 💔
I saw the news this morning and it made me sad. Sorry to hear. All my love from Scotland.
Iceland used to pump water onto the lava, strategically of course. This solidified it and built up a wall to divert the lava away from the town. I know it was another town and the situation must have been different. But there was no attempt shown here. Maybe it was considered. If not then get on with it
So sorry Gylfi for you and Grindavik. Thank you so much for all the information you share with us. Prayers from Australia 🙏
Very sad to hear, my Icelandic friend. The area of seismic disturbance just last nite (2 am central) looked very large and growing. I fear we are seeing just the beginning of this episode.
Thanks, Gylfi. Man is powerless against nature. We can be very thankful that everyone left the town hours before they learned that the eruption was happening. If the evacuation had been started after the eruption began, in the night, it would have been much more challenging.
Stay safe.
I saw something in my feed and I was wondering how you were and safe and the people of Iceland were safe. I am 😢 sad to hear that there could be people injured or worse.
Sending you much love from Australia. Stay positive.
It's so sad to see that a new fissure has opened up just to the north of the town, JI and that the lava has breached the earth barrier walls that were constructed to protect the town. Take care and stay safe.
My love and prayers to the people of Iceland. Thank you for your updates Gylfi and please stay safe
Thank you very much, appreciated
Ich wünsche den Menschen viel Glück! Es tut mir für jeden leid der jetzt gerade sein lebensmittelpunkt verliert!
Thinking of our Icelandic friends hope you all stay as safe as you possibly can fingers crossed from the UK 🇬🇧
Our hearts weep for the losses suffered in Grendavik.
Good morning from California. I've been keeping up on this whole situation and every day I wondered if this would be the day I wake up to hear such news. Today is that day. I'm very sorry for this worst case scenario.
At least the people of Grindavik gave it their best, but it seems with all this new activity with it comes more information and now the town can have more understanding of the real situation underneath and around them. I'm sure this will also benefit the other towns and cities as well.
The Grindavik folks are made of strong stuff and will be resilient--even if that means relocating. May the Lord grant wisdom to the city council, mayor, and the country's government to know how to proceed with relocation, housing, finances, etc. Gylfi, thank you for your hard work in recording history and keeping us informed.
