Eruption Number 9 Started Strong But The Situation Looks Better At Dawn

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 11 ก.ย. 2024
- Huge amount of lava is on it's way to the Blue Lagoon and the Power Plant. Not only is it more total volume than during the last eruption, all of it is heading to the Power Plant this time but the lava barriers around Grindavik took got a large share of the lava last time. So this is more and less what we expected and it gets harder and harder to protect the extremely valuable infrastructure around there. I'm off to Reykjavik now from where I will be doing filming to the volcano the nest days and feel free to use the Coffee button to support my missions to bring back interesting footage.
Update August 23: 10:00 AM
The second fissure the opened up at 02:00 might have prevented a major disaster since the lava fill be carried further north than before, out of harms way. This looks way better now than last night!

Thanks Gylfi. I hope you have a safe drive and get the footage you want. 🤞
Will do my best :)
@@JustIcelandic you do a wonderful job Gylfi.... I have very much enjoyed your beautiful location videos too. Not just the entrancing and informative eruption uploads. You have a fascinating, wild and unpredictable country. Keep up the great work👍 and thanks again for doing what you do so well👏👏
“Get something different.” That’s why we appreciate your drone coverage so well. Thank you.
We like it when you label locations also. Praying you arrive safely.
We will appreciate any footage you can get safely sir, it is important but your safety is more important, thank you for keeping us informed!
All the best Jules 💕
Thanks Jules and welcome
Thank you for this! I always wait for your initial analysis in each new eruption.
Wishing everyone stays safe! 😊
Thank you :)
Count me in, too! You will always be my go-to page on this subject
Good work Gylfi. Thank you for your efforts to communicate current event with us!
Any time!
@@JustIcelandic Be careful of those nasty, poisonous volcanic gasses! Hopefully wind will be predictable to keep you safe and favorable to capture the best video.
Stay safe. I pray the power plant and Blue Lagoon stay safe
Appreciated!
@@markhenry6486what you are saying is strange and wrong. It is a sentence based on misunderstandings.
@@markhenry6486 are you the weight lifter?
@@richardlawton1023 not quite as strong as THE mark henry but, I can hold my own.😁😁
@@saka2456 Yes, you're correct! I based my comment on the misunderstandings of the praying believer. mark henry
Have a safe drive south! Im drinking black coffee and working overnight. Good luck capturing night shots! Its absolutely spectacular!
Just got a new prime lens for the job yesterday :)
@@JustIcelandic superior!
Do you have any tips on finding a good spot to get images from? I have a telelens and a drone and already had a visit to Iceland planned in two weeks, so I would like to get a peek if it's still ongoing. But I do not want to risk my safety or disturb emergency services or anything.
Thanks! Sounds like you’re in for a long night. Black coffee is the perfect fuel. Night shots can be tricky but so worth it. What’s the best night scene you’ve ever captured?
I can only repeat the comments of fellow subscribers...thank you for your work in updating us all...we do appreciate it. 😊
Thinking of you!
Appreciated!
Drive safe and stay safe! Thanks for posting this so quickly!!
Thank you! Will do!
Thanks, Gylfi. Stay safe!
Many thanks Alex, it's gonna be a long night :)
The peninsula was home 55 years ago.
Your reports are like visiting an old friend.
Thank you so much!❤
Everyone - if you can please buy Gilfy as much coffee as you can afford. He works incredibly hard and it costs him a lot of money (and time) to do what he is doing. His videos and commentary are first class.
Strong coffee and safe journey to you!
Yes I need it strong tonight :)
Wow, shocked to wake up from my nap and seeing this in my YT feed! Hope y'all stay safe!
Safe travels Gylfi, I'm really looking forward to seeing this eruption through your eyes as well as what you and Shawn Willsey come up with together. 💜🌋🦄
Rest well tonight!
Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow!!
Thank you 🙏
Thank you very much...
Glad to see this update - thank you!
No problem!
Thank you Gylfi. Safe travels. Love and blessings
Thanks a ton :)
Stationed there for 2.5 yrs at KEF. Praying for the Icelandic people and their belongings to be out of harms way. Hopefully the power station and blue lagoon come out unscathed
Thank you and best regards from Reykjavik
When were you at Kef? I was there 1981-82 at the receiver site.
You had a very interesting experience being stationed at KEF and experiencing Iceland.
@@melodyszadkowski5256 2001-2004. I was the KC-135 flight chief in Hangar 885.
@@sbaumgartner9848 Yes my family and I will always cherish the memories we had there. Even the ever persistant wind!
Thank you!
Always watch your updates.
Green hills, fire, and ice - Iceland is beautiful.
Lots of love to the people of Iceland. May the Volcano Gods be good to you.
Lol😀awesome
Thanks for the update. Yours is the only channel I look to for eruption news. I love your photo and video journalism of Iceland's volcanic history, just superb!
Stay safe, hope the town and power plant survive.
Thanks for the location information, and safe travels, plus good luck capturing great photos and footage. ♥️👍
Tku for the update, stay safe on yr travels. Our thoughts are with you all
Thank you, I will
Oh my gosh…. As always, be careful Gylfi!
Thanks, will to, the drone takes most of the heat for me
@@JustIcelandic
LOL
I sure want to visit Iceland one day. Eruptions or no, it just looks magnificent.
Welcome
BEST SOURCE for summary and whole story drive careful our friend
Appreciated :)
Hope you and the other Icelandic people stay safe 🙏🏼
Oh no
Looks bad for Svartsengi, they take all the heat this time....
Stay safe. Hoping for the best.
Thank you very much
Good luck in getting the footage you're after. 😊❤😊
Will do my best 😊
Thanks as always for a well-informed update.
Always welcome :)
Your footage makes it very clear what the landscape is like, very much appreciate this update. Stay safe!
My thoughts are with the Northern Lights Inn hotel, which is next to the Svartsengi geothermal plant. It’s a lovely hotel and restaurant.
The lava is around 800m from the hotel right now, the new walls should better hold....
Thanks 👍🙏🤗
Welcome 😊
🙏>>>💚~~~ THANK YOU FOR THE UPDATE 👍
No problem 😊
Be safe. I look forward to seeing your footage when you have a chance,
This will be quite a task :)
@@JustIcelandic
We’ll be patient, it’s always the best.
Thanks for the explanation Gilfi. I’ve heard quotes of 6m cubic mtrs was waiting to blow??
Stay safe fella an cheers for takin us all on mate.❤❤👍👍🙏🙏🇬🇧🇬🇧🌋🌋🥃🥃
It is great to be able to view the before and during images. All your hard work to record the changes is very admirable. Thank you once again for sharing your passion !
We're looking forward to your new equipment. 👏👏👏 🎥
Very soon!
Drive safely! At least there are more hours of darkness to get good night footage unlike June.
Thank you, I will
Drive safe 🌋
Thanks, will do :)
Gyfli I hope you made it down to the peninsula okay & have been able to generate some footage despite the storm putting paid to some of the drone flights since the eruption started. Looking forward to your next update 😊
thanks gylfi. stay safe
i saw the eruption and it unzipped fissures pretty quick. the lava also seems thinner this time and moving fast
It's around 1km from the power plant now
@@JustIcelandic sadly i think it will reach the berms before morning
Thank you!! Stay safe Gylfi.
Thank you :) will do
Thank you, drive safe!
Thank you, I will
Stay safe, Gylfi. Your beautiful work is much appreciated.
Hello Gylfi !!!!! Lava seems to maybe have wrapped around the starting point in two directions from what Willsey said. Hope you are well. All excited here to hear your updates and see your always--stunning drone coverage when the skies allow - which is LOTS !
Coffee, coffee, coffee !
Thank you so much for your reporting, Gylfi. We really appreciate everything you do to show and tell us about the eruptions. Please drive safely and be careful!
Thanks for the update. Safe travels!!
Thanks 👍
Stay safe, and looking forward to what you bring us. And may the walls hold against the fiery siege.
Much appreciated
Someone get Gylfi a helicopter ride!
The poor chap is surviving on coffee and a car that is being killed off by the state of the Icelandic roads!
Seriously though, your footage is brilliant and I love the way you labelled previous images to give it perspective. You are amazing.
And he recently said his car needs repairs by being on the rougher roads! I think he's a national treasure and should be given an award of recognition to his contribution to Iceland.
Thank you so much for this. Your updates and spectacular photography are clearly very much appreciated by many people. Keep safe. Greetings from England.
Thank you for your update and pictures. Stay safe as you travel to get more pictures. I cannot believe how long that fissure is already.
Thanks, Gylfi, stay safe.
Thanks, will do
Thank you and stay safe. I got home two weeks ago from your beautiful country after visiting for 10 days.
Hi Deborah, that's wonderful that you were just there. I was there in June. I went with three other people and we rented a 4x4. We packed in a lot in the 7 days we were there. It was an amazing experience. We will never forget it. We even managed to drive past a part of beautiful Grindavik on our way to Blue Lagoon. We had lava steam coming up on both sides of our vehicle and thick 'fog' ahead of us, plus 'fog' waiting for us at Blue Lagoon. We also had a terrific tour of the geo thermal plant that sends hot water and electricity to Reykjavik.
Thank you so much for this report and please do stay safe! I appreciate your valuable insights to this volcano and I am praying for you and all of those in Iceland. Much Love from Laara in Canada
Be safe and rest if you get tired. You and your channel are the best!
Thank you so much for the update and the pictures, Gylfi! Take your time on the road and hope you get some extraordinary picture once you arrive.🌟
safe journey, Gylfi...thank you❤😊
Thank you too!
Be careful, Gylfi. Mother Nature is angry.
Thanks, will do
Thanks Gylfi, stay safe out there my friend. All the best from the UK
Thanks and welcome :)
Gracias, amigo islandés. Estuve ahí en 2018 y cumplí un sueño de toda la vida: conocer Islandia. Hermoso país y hermosa gente. Saludos desde Argentina !
We always look forward to your outstanding videos and narratives. Hoping you and the people of Grindavik stay safe!
Thank you very much! All went fine this time. I was filming in Grindavik today..more to come soon
Good afternoon Gylfi. Thanks for the update with regards to the situation of the new volcanic eruption. When I was travelling to Keflavik Airport at 4am this morning, I got to see the eruption from the road. Couldn't believe that I got to see the eruption this morning. When my plane was taxiing before take off, I could see the eruption and the large amount of smoke coming from the eruption. But my plane took off to the north before turning south. Stay safe on your travels Gylfi. I had a brilliant time in Iceland, despite the poor weather. I will definitely come back to Iceland in the future.
Same for me, it was 'awesome' to see how close the eruption was to the road so unreal. Driving from Keflavik probably had an even better view. When I took off at 8AM the eruption had decreased significantly or maybe it was the daylight dim it a bit, could see it from the plane but it was way more smoke and the lava didnt come through on pictures I took. I was first sad I couldnt choose my seat on my usual side of the plane (A seats), but now I was happy to be actualy on the right side to see the eruption. :)
@@AnnaMaria-zm8cv my plane took off heading north then it turned south after about 5-10 minutes & climbed through the clouds so we didn't get to see it.
@@johnbradshaw7525 we flew exact same route, but the eruption was visible somewhat behind the plane for the first 5 minutes before heading into the clouds. It was clear above lake Kleifervatn but you couldnt look through to previous eruptionsites. I will see my luck again tomorrow when I return back to Iceland.
Lucky you. I was in Iceland in June. We had the good luck of driving past a section of Grindavik on a detour road. It was an amazing experience to see a bit of lovely Grindavik. We had lava steam beside both sides of our car and thick fog ahead of us as we drove to Blue Lagoon. We had so much 'fog' at Blue Lagoon we could only see about one foot in front of us. Our trip to Iceland was an amazing experience.
@@sbaumgartner9848 The weather was not good while I was in Iceland. I went whale watching in Eyjafjörður & it was really rough with strong winds and horizontal rain. Then in northern Iceland there was fresh snow on the mountains. We also had warnings for strong winds for Wednesday & Thursday.
Thanks for the update Gylfi. I know you just wanted to hit the road and get down south but we really appreciate the update. We’ll keep an eye open tomorrow for the next one. Prayers to everyone there.
Thank you Gylfi for all your hard work keeping us informed. Congratulations on 100k subs. God bless you and yours
Great and clear explanations about where it is and where it is going. Looking forward to the next updates. Enjoy the coffee.
''...this is just how the way my country is...'' your laid back statment of fact is priceless...thank you Gylfi...stay safe😃🌋🌠
Thank you. Always checking in with your videos, some of the best out there. Thanks again.
Wishing you the best with this one Gylfi. Thanks for the update.
When you look at those surrounding hills, you can begin to see how high the lava can stack. If the current series of eruptions persist for long enough, all of the protective barriers will be overcome by lava. It also means that the power station, Blue Lagoon, Grindavik and the surrounding farms are at risk of being swamped by lava. The Volcano Island is growing itself.
Prayers to all
Thanks for the update
You are all strong and Im glad people got evacuated
Hopes there will be a break in these eruptions so people can have a more normal life but seems that every country is going through some challenges right now ❤
This was very unexpected to me, Ive been keeping an eye on things and she foxed me again.
Thanks for the great updates and for going the extra coffee powered mile to bring us great footage
Thankyou very much for sharing
Thank you so much and take good care of yourself, Gylfi! 🌋😊
Thank you for this update. Good luck with your trip to make photos and videos from the eruption. Stay safe. Greetings from the Netherlands.
Thanks Gylfi. Be careful on the road. Best regards from NZ.
Astonishing to look at that long fissure gushing lava fountains along its entire, though intellectually I realize that this is neither unusual for the start of these events nor particularly large on the scale of past eruptions, both during human history and especially during geologically older times. I’m glad you have better equipment now and your car is in running condition. The best of good wishes to you as you pursue your mission and to the Icelandic people whose lives are affected by this eruption.
Wishing you safe travels and a lot of success with your video of this new eruption. I’m always very happy to see a new video from you, regardless of the subject matter. I’ll check back tomorrow for a new update.
May your travel south go smoothly and you get the videos you want! May the power plant and Blue Lagoon see no damage and everyone be safe!
Your channel's the best, Gylfi. Stay safe out there!
Thanks Gylfi ❤ Looking forward to seeing your night footage tomorrow morning!
Thank you for the update Gylfi. Stay safe on your mission to "find something different."
Be safe on your travels tomorrow. God speed, and many thanks for what you do. 🙏
That coast guard footage is so beautiful!
Thank you for the update my friend, please keep safe, and I hope the magma keeps away from the PowerPoint and the town. My thoughts are with everyone in the land of Fire & Ice ❤
Your safety is more important than any photos-we do however appreciate all you have given us. 🎉🎉🎉❤❤
I appreciate that🙂
The Lava highway is going to end up with so much lava over it that it will need to be a lava tunnel
Good to hear your voice again Gylfi your informative and full of excellent information. Your my go to information page and a trusted source as always look after yourself buddy and as always stay safe from the UK 🇬🇧 to Iceland 🇮🇸 best wishes to mrs Gylfi too
Thank you once again for the most interesting video. Of all the videos posted, I think yours are by far the best and most interesting. Your commentary also is always so well done and informative.
Thanks Gylfi. I hope your trip is a safe one and I’m looking forward to seeing the new footage!
Thank you for the update. I really hope that the Blue Lagoon will make it, it is such a beautiful place.
Thank you Gylfi, safe travels.
After viewing some of your other videos, I didn’t think this would happen so soon. Hope you’re able to get some good video. Your channel is my favorite.
Thanks Gylfi. Stay safe out there.
So many of us are experiencing this through your artful lenses. Thank you 👍 drive safe
Thanks for the update, safe travels, best of luck with the filming but please stay safe, I'm impatiently waiting for the results. 😅
Drive safe, Gylfi!
Thank you for the update - it was so hard to see from the webcams in the dark, but your explanation with the daylight footage was incredibly helpful!
Your footage is always amazing, so there is no need to worry about that - I am certain it will be absolutely captivating.
Thanks for your efforts! You can always be counted on to give us the real news
Thankyou for you commentary. We don't get much info apart from your podcast in Australia accept in huge eruptions. I hope the next eruptions go as planned and save your town, people, livestock if any and crops.
We will be thinking of you here in Australia.
All the best.
PS could you get a very close shot of a crater or mountain when you use an arrow to point the location on this information. It is hard to make out when you don't know landscape but are very interested if it's safe to do so.
Keep safe.
Thank you for the update. Have a good trip to the south.
