- Hello everybody!
It is now day 12 of the 5th eruption from the Svartsengi system on the Reykjanes peninsula in Iceland and it's showing no signs of slowing down.
Subsidence, which had been ongoing the first 5 days of the eruption, has stopped with GPS data suggesting uplift could be resuming.
On June 8th, a sudden outburst of lava occurred which flowed over Grindavík's main road as well as creeping over the barriers north of the power plant.

Thank you for the best updates on Icelandic volcanism. 👍
Thank you so much, I'm really grateful for your comments and support !
Thanks for the helpful update about the lava flow advance on June 8. Gylfi got some outstanding video that day of the new flow across the road, but he did not provide any details about the context.
Yeah, Gylfi's drone shots are always so cool. Glad to hear I was able to bring something to the table 😁
Love this update and your style of delivery. It's very calm, very factual and not full of emotion. Thank you.
Glad you liked it, thank you for tuning in 😁
Another excellent update with regards to the ongoing volcanic activity on Reykjanes Peninsula.
Very understandable explanation and images.
Thank you for no sensationalism. Much appreciated 👍
You're welcome 😁
Keep up the good work, very much enjoy your updates and your dry sense of humour.
Hahaha, thank you for tuning in and commenting 😁
I visited your beautful country earlier this month and caught a glimpse of the eruption. Witnessed it from a distance en route to Keflavik on June 2nd.
Ayyy, that's so cool! That must've been a great end to the trip
Thank you for this update with the data. I heard yesterday that many others were insisting that this eruption is already over, due to the stable amount of lava being extruded. I enjoy the illustrations you make on the pictures of the area, it helps me make sense of what is going on. Takk fyrir!
Ayyy, you're welcome! Thanks for tuning in 😁
Thank you for sharing the beautiful footage from Iceland, and the interesting information. Always appreciated! 😊
You're welcome, thanks for tuning in 😁
I am revisiting your video, and picking out the salient points. Whatever happens going forward is, I suspect, anyone's guess...but I can't get to the guessing game in my own head without your great input with this video. Thank you so much @hildaremenn for giving my brain some much needed food! Lol and xo too.
Ayyy, you're welcome Wendy!
Thanks for tuning, as always, and keep on speculating 😁
Nature makes us all feel humble -- thank you
Oh definitely!
Thank you for this update. Great information
Another quality update, thanks. It seems each eruption brings it's owns surprises and differences.
The flow from lava pool 2 was in the form of a'a and could just be a result of the pool formation over the last week. As the input to the pool continues so may the flow. One interesting fact of this kind of rubble- like flow is that it moves slowly and deep with the steep front several metres high, marking it easier to override obstacles. Good luck.
Thankyou and stay safe. 🇦🇺🤗🦘
Hlidarman, once again thank you for your post.
You're welcome 😁
Thank you for the update. It seems that the cycle continues. I sure hope the current eruption stops soon or greatly diminishes , to give time to plan more defenses.
Yeah, I bet this is getting really annoying for our experts and construction workers to always have to deal with these sudden, unpredictable events.
@Hilðarmenn Wouldn't you say all these volcanic events are unpredictable?
@@melodyc6363 Oh yeah, they definitely are.
Once again, just the important information, with great maps! Thanks.
Ayy, glad you appreciate the maps!
Thank you for the update! 💜
You're welcome 😁
Thank you!
You're welcome!
On June 26 my wife and I start our 8 visit to Iceland. We often will take 43 to Grindavik and then 427 to Rt.1 Will taking 41 to 42 then 42 to 427. We will start our 50 day tour of Iceland in Hverageroi. We have stay there most of the times we traveled to Iceland. Our first stop is the Almar Bakari. Thank you for the video and look forward to being back in Iceland. We always looked forward to seeing Grindavik. I hope and pray that the town survies.
Grindavik may be closed because the eruption is still ongoing. Of course you will find out more accurate information once you arrive.
That's so cool to hear!
Hope you have a blast during your 8th visit, damn, you might just know this Island better than me!
I'm sorry to say but you won't be able to travel through Grindavík this time. Our town will still be closed off to the public for some time to come.
Thank you for the update.😂 I knew the blue lagoon road wouldn't be spared 😂. It should be renamed lava lagoon road😊
Yeah, it gets no break 😂
There is a new road to Blue Lagoon and it is open from today.
I wonder if all this has affected Geldingadalir. It’s been almost silent since all this stared near the blue lagoon area, not even one intrusion since the last eruption. Everyone has seemed to have forgotten about it even though it is capable of some serious lava output. It’s still crazy to me just how much lava was erupted there in 2021.
There's some speculation floating around that the magma involved in this event is the same as the one in the Geldingadalir eruption. So, that would mean, while the Svartsengi system is drawing all the magma, Geldingadalir/Fagradalsfjall can't erupt. I've speculated that the Fagradalsfjall system isn't done yet and another eruption could occur sometime this summer as the eruptions have occurred there 8-13 months apart since 2021 and we're in that window now.
Thanks for another informative video....always appreciate your perspective.
Appreciate your comments Susan!
Thank you very much, for the excellent and detailed update!
Great to hear/read!
Thanks for tuning in 😁
With every eruption, the land surface around the fissure gets higher. Eventually it will not be feasible to build berms high enough to contain the lava. I hope the eruptions cease before that situation arises.
Yeah, the lava is becoming pretty thick
Thank you, for another great update. Skaal!
You're welcome 😁
Thank you! Your updates are always so clear and informative.
Glad to hear!
Thanks for tuning in 😁
And so the lava flows!
About a month ago I was watching workers building secondary wall in Grindavik and had feeling that they were doing unnecessary work and they need to build bigger wall north of power plant, also I mentioned it in my comment then. The fissure what is erupting now is the same one what went absent for the whole night and then started erupting again. I think this is some kind of sign but I am unsure what it is.
Thank you for your detailed analysis of the situation. Along with the images it is really informative.
Glad you enjoyed it
Your accent is, well, so much fun to listen to!!!
Hahaha, that's awesome to hear!
Thanks for tuning in 😁
This is the beginning of fertile volcanoes 🌋 growth.
Only beginning .
Unpredictable behaviour in the future.
Earth 🌎 has its own Rythem system in timing of expansion
and we have hours waiting 😮in our humble human ⏰ of days 😊
Watching.
Four square meters per second doesn't sound like very much, but you try moving it with a bucket.
Square meters? That's area my guy, you mean cubic meters. That's a cube where each side, height, length and width is 1 meter. Square meter is a square where you only use lenght and width.
Very clear and easy to follow, thanks
Glad it was helpful!
Thx for your great maps and highlighting recent flow extents. As much as I’d like to be able to learn the geographical place names, they’re quite difficult, so I appreciate you don’t dwell on them. Perhaps if they are annotated on the maps?
Thx again!
Ayyy, glad you like them.
I'll definitely start adding more geographical names to the maps, sounds like a nice addition!
I think that in the next eruption, lava will be able to reach Grindavik faster and flow more easily over the protective walls. Because all deeper areas of land between the site of the eruptions and Grindavik have now been filled with lava, there are almost no reservoirs left that can collect lava.
Yeah, that's definitely worrying. Our construction workers will now be doing everything they can to upgrade the barriers while they have time
You Can't Stop The Awesome Island Building So You Better Stay Out of the Way !!
Facts! Unfortunately, island building is inevitable
🎉wonderful updates
Thanks as always!
You're welcome 😁
I come here to listen to your delightful accent...lol...thanx for your insights into the Eruptions as well
Hahahaha, thanks for tuning in 😁
OMG I have missed listening to your awesome voice
Great to have you back😁
Absolutely excellent update.. thank you! 😊
You're welcome, thanks for tuning in 😁
With all the EQ swarming at Heobreoarlindur ,you would think there would be a fissure there? Guess it's getting ready for Askja? Habunga and Hella had a 2 yesterday. Crazy Day one had 165 EQ above a 1.0+ .Days 5&6 had 57 and 56 EQ 1.0+
Yeah I'd have to agree with the 4 to 5 cubic meters estimate. From Friday the 24th of May to Wednesday the 29th about 2 million cubic meters of magma went into the magma.
That's from Friday morning to Wednesday so just a fraction above 5 days. So, the inflow is about 4 to 5 cubic meters per second. With uplift possibly starting again, slowly, it's possible that the output is just above inflow levels, barely. Depending on how long this eruption lasts, we could see another eruption either late June, early July, or sometime after that in September. How large it will be, don't know yet, depends on how much magma will be in the magma chamber at that time.
If it's 20 million cubic meters or less it could be small(ish), smaller than the current one. However, if it's 20 million or more, then it will be bigger.
Crazy to think we could be in for another one. Let the waiting begin
@@Hliarmenn So true.
Two eruptions are in a way special to me personally.
The first is the Litlihrutur eruption from July/August last year. My Yorkie, Roxie would come to my room and spend up to 30 minutes on my desk watching the eruption with me. She passed on October 17.
The other is the February 8 eruption. That one happened exactly 1 day before our other Yorkie, Leo passed away, February 9.
Nice new shots!
Thank you so much MiQ!
Finally put my new drone into the air, hope to get some more shots soon😁
Interesting!
Beautiful scenery, but often has little to do with current eruption, so a bit confusing at times!
With that much uplift.... it will happen again ☹️😔
Yeah, it does look like it's not over yet. Time will tell
Some of the areas are getting really built up deep! Hopefully it won't cause land slides??
Thank Bro because video great
Well, thank you as your comment is great!
Cheers for the update,
i wonder if the magma chamber on this one will subside/collapse eventually. the ground has been lifted and dropped quite a bit so far
Eventually it probably will when the material cools enough and gets brittle, but that could easily take a a few centuries, partly depending on whether the chamber drains entirely or partially fossilizes instead (that is, some of the magma stays in the chamber and cools very slowly, supporting at least part of the pre-existing chamber over geological timescales).
Of Course Day 8 had increase of 30 after the 4.5 on Reykjanes Ridge.
Thanks for the update. I read somewhere that the eruptions run in thousands of year cycles and some scientists are saying that it's about time for another long big eruption cycle. Have you heard or read this too? Stay safe
I have ancestors from Iceland. Hope to visit someday.
😊🙏🇮🇸☮️🌎
Yep, the Reykjanes peninsula works in these eruptive cycles. The breaks last 800-1000 years while the eruptive periods last for 200-300 years. That means these eruptions are going to be occuring, every now and then, throughout our lifetime's. Not at this frequency, maybe at an average of 1 eruption every 5-10 years
I think they might need to bury that hot water pipe, one disruption in the middle of winter was bad, but continual uncertainty is untenable
They've already done it, you think just like our experts!
It's still not guaranteed that it'll be enough so further protection is being considered or atleast well planned "Plan B" if the pipes rupture.
Very nice
Thanks!
Never saw a blue line think that before.
Great job! Thank you very much! Does the new lava keep going on top of the previous lava, or does it make its own path, or both?
Both!
It's more common, however, for it to flow over previous lava as it with the current low output, it rarely reaches far enough to cover new areas.
🙏🎯🌍🔥🔥🔥🔥
The world has changed
**Nam myoho rengekyo**
🙏 Pray the world 🌍 peace 🕊️ be safe

Is there a reason there is no mention of the lava that is now situated at the top of the road down to the power plant on Grindavikurvegur 43 above and south of the plant where no barriers exist that I can see? Is there a barrier that has not been highlighted by photos or is this ‘the elephant in the room’ no one wants to talk about?
There is a constructed barrier there as well as a natural one so the lava would have to climb pretty high to overflow there.
Can captions be enabled?
Oh, it seems as they're disabled for this video. I'll definitely try to remember turning them on next time!
wonderful explanation thank you so much, I will be in Iceland next week, would it be possible to do a helicopter tour above/around the vulcano ? I get mixed answers so I hope you can get me a clear answer. I would love to see the lava flowing.
Ayy, thanks for tuning in!
Yes, it's possible to do helicopter tours. You can book from this website: www.viator.com/Reykjavik-tourism/d905-r87372099251-s7850529292?m=63845&supag=122122349932&supca=12132299942&supsc=kwd-297208944913&supai=493358037244&supdv=m&supnt=g&suplp=1007954&supli=&supti=kwd-297208944913&tsem=true&supci=kwd-297208944913&supap1=&supap2=&supfi=&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwsaqzBhDdARIsAK2gqnd3vkA0NfIyGoZc-SA3phLoFoiNlMuCxBw2A5uiU1pt1O5UgJfOCcEaAhpVEALw_wcB
Hope you have a pleasant stay😉
@@Hliarmenn thank you so much
I don't like how you mix actual informations with filmclips from previous eruptions. They make it nice, but it's not serious.
Yeah, I would love to have more fresh footage of the eruption but I don't have access to the area.
👍
Do you think the recent solar storms have any bearing with what is happening here.
There have been huge CME from the sun lately.
What are you thoughts regarding this.
Thanks so much for sharing ✨⚔️
Solar flares or a big CME directed at the earth have no effect on volcanic activity. No one has ever proposed an evidence based mechanism by which that could take place.
Couldn't have said it better than Michael.
They only noticeable thing caused by the solar flares in Iceland, atleast for is volcano watchers, was the interference with GPS stations which showed scuffed data during the storm. Unfortunately we did not see any northern lights as the entirety of Iceland was covered with clouds 😂
Are there evacuation plans? What will happen to all the people in its path?
Fortunately, our experts are quick to warn of any possible danger and call for evacuations. So, there are no lives at risk during these events
Wouldn't it be an option to bury the hot water pipes to protect them from the lava flowing over them?
That is exactly what they've done!
It should do the trick although, it's not guaranteed.
Are there areas where you can get up close to flowing lava, or do they block you from it everywhere?
Unfortunately there are no areas you can get up close to the lava currently. When the blue lagoon is reopened, you drive over fresh lava. That's the only area you can get up close but it's far from the erupting crater
The map is not showing the filling between Sýlingarfell and Hagafell
Lava from this most recent episode appears at the top of the slope on the Grindavikurvegur Road 43 above and south of the power plant yet no one mentions this threat to the plant.
@@saywhat8966 We have been watching because Isak was parking there, it is also coming around the hill the volcano is swallowing, the one between Hagafell and Sýlingarfell. That little hill is 2/3 surrounded around the base and it covered the dirt road they used to park on to film the old craters from the last fissure eruption. That Dike is open on the Sýlingarfell side by the road.
The area of the lava is unfortunately not 100% accurate, I might've missed a few spots like you've mentioned. I'll have them included on my next video 😉
@@Hliarmenn I thought the map came from MET office, but thank you.
It will reach the sea one way or another , either around grindavik or through it , I’m sorry to say.
Bury the hot thermal pipes
You think like our experts!
They've been buried already but it's not guaranteed that'll do the trick. I think, during a previous lava flow, buried pipes didn't survive. Perhaps they're buried deeper now.
We'll see.
Can you visit the eruption?
No, it is not possible to visit; the area is closed off to the public. A few people are given access - they have to obtain a permit from the authorities, and are generally working with or for the press, scientific organisations or civil defense, and must have the correct equipment including gas masks. I hope that helps.
Yeah, Sally is right, you have to get a permit and I don't have it so I can't visit. Fortunately we have Ísak which gives us the awesome drone livestreams from the eruption site
2 day old its over
Mmmh, Hlidarmenn, thank you. That was interesting. The experts said something like that this might be the end of the eruptions. But what you say does not indicate this. We have to wait and see. Right?
Yeah, the system seems to still be full of life. I would've expected uplift rate to be lower than during the previous eruption but that doesn't seem to be the case. Definitely a weird situation so we'll just have to wait for answers.
