    Thank you Gylfi, construction crews, reporters, and emergency workers. This is a continuing demonstration of engineering ingenuity and perseverance. We viewers appreciate your focus on what the people are doing to protect the power plant, blue lagoon, and infrastructure. Thanks again for your excellent coverage.

      I just flew home from Iceland lastnight, I saw the glow of the Volcano from Helgafell whilst chasing the Aurora, Sky Lagoon, and on the way to the airport at Keflavik. I love Iceland, such a beautiful country with amazing people, all good wishes to them and all the people working hard to keep the power plant and the blue lagoon safe from the lava...I am looking forward to coming back to Wonderful Iceland 💚

      @@tracymarshall8277 Helgafell, an ancient dormant volcano on Heimaey Island, caused massive geological changes during its last eruption around 3950 BCE, shaping much of the island as we know it. While this volcano has remained quiet, the neighboring volcano Eldfell erupted in 1973, leading to evacuations, widespread ash deposits, and significant damage to local property and infrastructure. The event was a powerful reminder of the volatile nature of Iceland's volcanic landscape and the resilience of the communities living nearby. It's amazing how nature’s power can shape our world

    • @philpaine3068
      @philpaine3068 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      @@SmaxChristopher1 Yes, indeed. Iceland was discovered and settled by Vikings from Scandinavia (mostly Norway) but also from the Vikings settlements in Faeroes, Orkney, Shetland, Scotland and Ireland. Some Irish monks may have gotten there earlier, but Vikings brought their families and created permanent settlements. The Viking Age in Iceland was chronicled and celebrated in the Íslendingabók and Landnámabók, and in numerous sagas. From Iceland, Viking seafarers ventured further, settling Greenland, and at least briefly establishing a foothold in Canada. But of course, as time passed, the sea-raiding Vikings were transformed into sedentary farmers, pastoralists, and fisher-folk, and the Age of Vikings faded into memory. However, Icelanders have always remained proud of their Viking origins, and Viking symbolism is a theme of Icelandic society. The Icelandic language is actually closer in grammar and vocabulary to the Old Norse of the Viking era than are the modern Scandinavian languages of Swedish, Danish and Norwegian. Icelanders can actually read the Old Norse sagas. Sometimes, when people today use the word "Scandianavia," they include Iceland and Faeroe, while others restrict the term exclusively to Sweden, Denmark and Norway. Sometimes, the word "Nordic Countries" is used to mean the three Scandinavian core countries, plus Iceland and Faeroe, and even Finland. The variant terminology can be confusing to an outsider.

      He is right, lava cooled down with ice or water becomes crispy, even turning into vulcanic glass, the Icelanders have plenty of experience with water cannons and the effect on lava.

    I'm very glad that it seems that the Blue Lagoon and powerplant have been saved one more time. Looking at this from the U.S., you wonder why such a fuss is being made over one tourist attraction/hotel and one power plant, but in the context of a small country with around 400K people, the power plant and hotel/lagoon are huge investments.

      They definitely have ensured that Greenland is safe! Although I don't think the eruption is fierce enough to cross all that water.
      Love both islands, one for the spicy volcanoes and hotspots, the other for its majestic glaciers and indigenous culture. Fire and Ice!
