Gylfi, thank you for always looking at things from a brighter side, than dumping the gloom, and doom other channels tend to do. It is amazing to see some green growth on the new earth near Grindavík, keep up the awesome work, and keep them coming.
maybe part of the reason us that certain other channels are located far away and lack down-to-earth-connection with local conditions... though at least some foreign channels probably also just enjoy the drama (and renumeration for clickbaits)
@@KatlaJokulsdottir totally I’ve given up on mainstream media for this topic. You are clearly better positioned and more informed and knowledgeable! So appreciate your hard work.
@@taylorcrews679 haha, no, thank Gylfi! I don't do that much work except occasionally posting a comment here with some fun info from the metoffice or similar. I tried to inject some sense into one of those annoying clickbait youtube channels where the author really distorted facts (including totally misquoting a scientist for dramatising) but yeah, the person blocked me 😲
@@KatlaJokulsdottir clickbait is so lame. The real world is just as exciting and edge of your seat action! Who cares if they blocked u. Good riddance! Lol😂
This video brought a tear to my eyes seeing the town of Grindavik come to life again around the harbour. Thank you for sharing this sign of hope and the people of this beautiful town are in my thoughts. I have been watching from Scotland this amazing story unfolding over the past year.
Gylfi, it is always good hearing your soothing and relaxing voice. That, coupled with great videography, is a total win for those of us who want to learn more about your beautiful country.
Your current Grindavik video tour is certainly a warming and heartfelt testimony to the hardy and optimistic nature of the people of Grindavik (and Icelanders in general), whose businesses continue to produce products and services, and who attempt to thrive once again under conditions brought on by threat of further volcano-related events. Great update! I truly appreciate it from an arm-chair tourist perspective (from Ontario, Canada). It was wonderful to see tourists and human activity in Grindavik once again. Thanks so much, Gylfi.
Beautiful footage. Nice to see snow hasn’t started yet. Opening Grindavik for tourists is bittersweet. We all want the residents to return but we know it’s not a good idea. I’m so happy to hear you managed to eat the best fish and chips !! I will never forget the amazing fresh quality of the fish I had in Iceland when I was there last June. Thank you Gilfy! You have a lot of loyal followers.
@Just Icelandic • Gylfi: Thanks so much for the update on Grindavik. There's something so heartbreaking about a small town like this being torn apart by the lava. I'm glad that it has at least been opened for tourists. I'm also glad the port is working. Your photography is fantastic from the drone and thermal videos to the still photo of that perfectly cooked fish & chips. Stay safe. Keep up the good work. 👍
Thx for your comments. I agree with Gilfy. Their fish and chips were the best I’ve ever eaten. Grindavik is a lovely town to live, work and raise a family in. I hope one day even years from now people can return.
I saw the news that Grindavik was open again. Brilliant news, even though it is a limited opening. So nice to have your visual account for perspective. Just seeing those fishing and service industries able to start back up is excellent! Oh, at 3:58, I thought the digital sign read 36C. What?! - ah, 3.6C. Whew! 😀
But no snow yet. That would make me happy if I lived there. Although Icelanders excel at embracing or at least accepting what their winter weather offers them.
Thank you for the video. Visiting your homeland was such a wonderful experience, and it hurts to see the damage, pain and chaos, but it's heartwarming to see how you all cope and move on. Icelanders are strong people because they have to be. Greetings from the US.
Good evening Gylfi. Greetings from the Netherlands. I hope Grindavik will be spared so people can live there again soon. Thanks for the info. Stay safe.
Great news about your drone. Whoop whoop. Love you, Gylfi. "Shit happens." I love it. And happy to see life starting to buzz. Best wishes from Elsie in the 🇬🇧
i agree, this a great run down on how things are going and were going at that time. the pictures of the town/ city of Grindavik then "on the pictures and today in real life" === thank u Gylfi
Another wonderful video Gylfi. Your footage panning out from the town at about 2.20 is a stark reminder of how extensive the ground cracking is and how dangerous it could be to walk where you are not allowed.
Thank you for the amazing videos and wonderful news. I've been watching since last year and I am thrilled to see there is life after crisis. That fish and chips looks like must do for the future. Also a great favorite in South Africa 😊
Thank you Gylfi it's good to hear Grindavik town is back open. I've been watching the seismic grafts especially the Svartsengi one, I'm think the next eruption will be more towards December than November, I really hope it doesn't erupt near to any infrastructures.
Hi there fellow Canadian. I had the good fortune to visit Iceland this June. It was an amazing unforgettable experience. We somehow managed to drive past Grindavik on our way to Blue Lagoon. And Gilfy is right- Their fish and chips were the best I’ve ever had. The halibut tasted like it just came out of the water.
Thanks for the update Gylfi. Great video with great news!! Looking forward to those other video's that you are promising us. Sending you greetings and Best Wishes from NZ.
@@JustIcelandic hopefully this wasn't a land grab . I hope people stood there ground i stop watching i guess2023 . I guess other things started getting crazy in the states .
Such heart warming news Gylfi to hear Grindavik is opening again ✨ My heart truly goes out for all these lovely people 🙏🤗 ❤ ..great coverage sir, as always 🌟🥇👍
It is so nice to see that there is a real connection to that area with you what finds a connection in your pictures and marvelous footage from the town, its harbor and surrounding. And so is it nice to see that there are more people arranging with the powers of nature and looking how they can live under those circumstances, even if it means evacuating again sooner or later. Thx for those good news .
Been awhile since I checked on your posts but its good to see that Grindavik is reopening and townspeople are coming back to the town to live. Although it may not be the same but as a community everyone supports the others to start the clean up and enjoy your way of life once again.
You have fish and chips in Iceland?!! I thought it was only here in the UK, with the rest of the world thinking us weird for it lol. I am so pleased to know that you don't miss out on our good old British speciality. :)
What amazing people Icelanders are - thank you, Gylfi, for sharing the stories of your land with such beautiful images and honesty 💛🧡❤️ Glad the upgrades are coming along! 👏
Great video as always. Thanks so much for your consistent and thorough updates over the past few years. I'm really looking forward to getting back to Grindavík and no longer seeing all the signs with "Grindavík" crossed out on them.
Thanks Gylfi for your footage on Grindavik. I feel a part of this town now. Watching the progress of what happened there, makes it a real place that I care about. Looking forward to any other footage you have. Xx
Such very good news about Grindavik. Very tough situation for the people of Grindavik -- displaced months ago -- and now some can start returning. [edit] Of those who can return (where their houses & businesses are not cracked in half), some will decide to stay, some to leave and not return. I hope that soon all residents have a chance to make their own decisions about living there or leaving for good. Thank you Gylfi for your continued work keeping us updated on your homeland, its beauty and its struggles. You're the right guy for that and we appreciate it.
good to see some small parts of the town trying to get back on its feet, I will be in Iceland in December and may take a trip over that way if its still possible
Good to hear from you! ❤ geology hub mentioned you in their video today. About how your thermo scans helped predict last months activity. Don't quote me on that it was like 9 hours ago, and I'm sleepy now. But I was like, Awesome!!!! ❤❤❤
What a touching video about the reopening of Grindavik and positive video. Congratulations on your new drone. This is a nice teaser about your future videos about the town. It is somewhat ironic that the harbor there is likely due to the geologic processes of magma intrusions beneath that area over thousands of years but the latest episode of magma intrusion caused the town to be closed for almost a year. I understand that most people who owned houses before November 2023 have now sold their houses to the government and moved to other places less likely to have future magma and lava problems, but it is good that they were able to open some (or many?) of the service businesses for tourists and the workers at the fish processing plants. It is also good to hear that at least a few homes are now occupied. Presumably those were in areas less affected by the new fissures.
Thank you my dear friend Gylfi...These people from Grindavik must be 💔 💔...and to have tourists come in I imagine make them feel like camera fodder...it is a small mercy that the harbour is still coping as well as it dose...lessings from Scotland...😃🌠
It must be hard to see the harbor active, and knowing moving back is not going to be an option any time soon...I know I would find that difficult. But then how many people can actually say that they were first hand witnesses to their country birthing new land...which although concerning, is still so fascinating. As always stay safe...God bless...
Changes in geothermal activity for no obvious reason from nearby systems and it's not considered to be a big event around here, although it might need change how close the tourists can get to Strokkur and other hot springs in the region.

Love your video! Full of hope, made me feel there is a new beginning for you all. All the best! 😉

What hardships one may encounter there's always hope and new life!

I'm glad for the people of Grindavik that the town has been able to reopen and commerce vital to them resumes!

Cautiously optimistic for the future of the townspeople's chances of returning back home.
