The New Eruption in Iceland Could Become Very Destructive - Location, Maps and the Scenario
Vložit

- I'm sad to say that this eruption starts extremely strong and the magma flow is likely over 100 cub.m.pr. sec. and the fissure length is close to 4km. I don't think it's one single soul from Grindavík sleeping tonight while the town begs its fate and we can only hope for a good outcome since lava barriers hold for only so long, and this amount of lava is simply hard to deal with. We did however get good news shortly before 03:00 GMT from the Coast Guard helicopter that confirmed that lava is currently not on the way to town that has been evacuated since November 10th. We remain hopeful!
Update December 19th 11:00PM
I drove to Reykjavik after the the eruption started to do some filming on the Reykjanes Peninsula for the next update, December 20th. although the power of the eruption has decreased a lot today, not even rescuers are allowed to be in Grindvík because it is not considered unlikely that the fissure will erupt within the town since the land by Svartsendi has only dropped by 5cm, so scientists assume that er might just be seeing the first stage of the ongoing eruption.
More about this in my next update.

Thank you for visiting the Just Icelandic Channel.
Greetings from Iceland. Gylfi
Such mixed feelings watching this. The eruption is fascinating, such a huge fissure, but I feel so bad for the people. Hope the town stays save. Thanks for all your work!
I’m here now. On the way to the airport and everything seems normal. They have a good system to notify if any evacuation is needed. All is well and it’s beautiful.
Just amazing - thank you for your gentle explanation. Questions - where do the evacuees go? Are there resources in place for them? This must be devastating for them.
@@lillianneragazzo151 All the previous evacuees have been taken care of. They've had lots of time to prepare for those still in town. It will be a miracle if the town is spared.
@@outlawbillionairez9780 thank you -
Don,t know you get your information from nothing is free here in Iceland .we pay for hot water cold water and electricity.best wishes from Reykjavík ..@dimebagvision3221
I’m an Australian tourist and was on the flight flying over it at about 1130pm. Amazing and scary!!! Will never forget the experience.
My heart goes out to everyone from Grindavik. Having to leave your homes with the risk of losing them is horrific, but to have it happen around a festive season, just grinds a little bit more salt into the wound. Please stay safe.
Isak got there within the first hour. It is a huge fissure, the fountains are hundreds of feet high at the start. I'm glad to see you safe. Be well, dear Gylfi, safe travels.
This channel is the first place I turn to for REAL information on what's going on with these volcanoes. Great stuff. No hype. Just real, useful information and great footage!
Same here. Also love the soothing voice :)
I additionally follow Shawn Willsey, a geology professor in the US, who has visited Iceland several times and whose scientific analyses of Icelandic volcanoes is as low on hype as Gylfi's explanations and stories.
I'm the same.
Unbelievable how fast the fissure has expanded, and the volume of lava is crazy. Hoping Grindavik is spared.
Thank you for your compassionate and thorough coverage of the situation in Iceland. I look forward to your future videos. Stay safe, Gylfi!!!
Thank you very much!
Thank you for your coverage. Your channel is the first place I look for updates. Stay safe, and I hope that the town and the blue lagoon stays safe.
And I hope the power plant will be safe.
We have to be prepared for this to be bad. Scientists on the ground predicted this would be a large eruption, and it's even bigger than predicted. The fountains are estimated to be over 400 feet high. Earthen berms haven't been tested for this eruption scale.
Me too...Gylfi has become our trusted 'go to' in regards to these events ( and broader information).
Agreed! (And his voice is so soothing.)
Thank you for the great coverage. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and the people of Iceland.
Much appreciated!
@@JustIcelandicyou sound like Lauri from Hydraulic Press channel 👍👍👍
@@JustIcelandic does this fissure line up at all with the atlantic fault line that is pushing the continents apart ... no one seems to even have considered this ... if it does ... then it shows that the planet is getting stressed by something ...
@@kaboom-zf2bl This is just regular volcanic activity along a divergent plate boundary. Happens all the time, it's just that most of the time, it happens somewhere underwater.
Thoughts and prayers never accomplished anything.
Keep yourself safe Gylfi, I pray the town is spared, and the people may return very soon.
Greetings from La Palma! We know what the people of Grindavyk are going through. We are praying for you! 🙏😔
Thank you for your excellent report. The power of nature is so strong. All my prayers and support from England for the people of Iceland and the community of the local town. Stay safe
This is by fast the best channel to come to for information on this terrible event. No dramatising, no waffle, just the plain facts given in a calm and matter of fact way. My thoughts go out to all those on Iceland and particularly those who have been most impacted by this volcanic event. I do hope the town survives.
Thank you for this, Just Icelandic. My heart is breaking for so many who could be so badly impacted and who have gone through so much already. Whatever you do, please stay safe.
From a caring and concerned friend from northeastern US. 🇮🇸🇺🇸
You have to give the people of Iceland credit for how they handle the enormous force of Nature in these Volcanoes and keeping their people safe!
Iceland is only 300,000 people, but you do a great job.
My thoughts and prayers go out to you from over here, in New Jersey, USA!
Hopefully, everyone in the vicinity was able to evacuate to safety in time. Prayers going out for the people of Grindavik 🙏
Yes there was only workers in Grindavik and they got out, same with the power plant.
its a spectaular beginning! stay safe, sir.
Please stay safe everyone 🙏🙏
Many Thanks🙏
Thank you for such a prompt update when you were just finishing another video. That footage from the 'copter is pretty spectacular and you're the only one who has posted that as of this time. Please stay safe and don't risk your drone. I understand the authorities are confiscating them.
If the authorities are confiscating drones they must expect things to get much worse and want to keep people uninformed..
@@davegrimshaw7318 They just don't want people any where near the eruption area until it dies down a lot. This is not a tourist friendly eruption.
I woke up this morning, opened Iceland stream to check what was going on and it was zooming in for the first time on the eruption. Could not have timed it better, I initially was relieved thinking that it didn't come up near Grindavik but then the info came thru that it was not a good spot at all.
I really hope barriers hold and lava flows other ways to the sea.
Thank you Gylfi for your update as always, stay safe my friend and good luck on your eruption documentation trip.
Thank you for posting such calm, measured and accurate information with such diligence over these weeks. Extending my best hopes for the ongoing safety of the local people and the coming work to safeguard the local town. Good luck, stay safe.
Thank you for your ongoing efforts in keeping us up to date 👍
My prayers go out to all of the families from Grindavik, please take great care and thank you for all of your hard work.
Thanks Gylfi stay safe, much appreciated as always for the updates, remember take a hot flask if your heading out 🥶
I love that you're trying to get us coverage of this eruption and appreciate it. Stay safe and don't take any unnecessary risks. We don't want anything to happen to you. I'm glad everyone is safe. Hopefully Grindavik can be saved but mother nature is a force to be reckoned with. These eruptions are neat and scary at the same time given the large scale of them.
I trusted you more than any other news source for the last years and I'm glad your in the spot for this as well.
Prayers to the people of Iceland and the best effects from a possible nightmare.
Thank you.
I love the fine Icelandic People.
I hope they can manage the eruption.
God bless the Icelandic !
Thank you for keeping us up-to-date. Watching from afar, hoping everything goes in the right direction.
Fingers crossed!
Two and a half ,American miles. I used my GPS to find something three miles from my house. It's just literally incomprehensible. The people of Grindavik are in my heart.
Thank you very much and greetings from Iceland
Oh Lordy, the minute I turn my back, off it blows !!
Seriously though Gylfi, please stay safe ...our community here has come to regard you as 'the Voice of Iceland'. I feel so bad for the folk of Grindavik. Cheers from Australia
Thatnk you for all the information you've been providing continously
I have pleasant memories of a visit to Grindavik a few years ago and sincerely hope it is spared. Your coverage of this event is excellent, informative, and beautifully filmed. It is good to know that your country is helping the displaced residents as much as possible. Takk! and safe travels
I've been waiting for your update, Gylfi. I couldn't work out exactly where the extent of the fissure reached, but while it could be worse, it's going to create a lot of anxiety for the residents of Grindavík until the lava flow courses are clearer.
What a spectacular beginning it had, though! I saw it within 15 mins of its beginning and rewound the live streams to witness an absolutely amazing fountaining event to kick things off!
I look forward to your next video!
We spent Christmas in Iceland last year and Christmas day at the Blue Lagoon. The Icelandic people were very warm and welcoming and we hope they all stay safe during this eruption.
💅
From the USA I can honestly say our prayers are with you all affected by this act of mother nature.
Thank you for the update Gylfi - please take care and stay safe! At least the waiting is now over and the people can actually see what they are up against. Hoping against hope this turns out to be not as bad as some are saying it will be. Thinking of you all at this difficult time - hugs from Down Under … 🥰
Omg Gylfi, I am so heartbroken to hear about this volcano. I sure hope it avoids the town, any town for that matter. Strong positive thoughts for everyone's homes staying safe. ❤
It was hard not to expect something would happen given all the activities over the last couple of months. I guess, this is good and bad....now we know the form it will take, mostly, and the waiting is over....but, the on going magnitude is still uncertain and the direction (hoping for the northerly flow, of course). Thank you to all the workers trying to keep people safe and the town...public service work is not always easy. Thank you, Gylfi for your dedication to your beautiful country...to keep us updated on the current events...travel safely...and we are on pins and needles for your update.🤗
Im very appreciative of your coverage of the eruptions. Keep up the great work. Stay safe.
Much appreciated
Thank you for the update.
I find that looking at your maps I finally get my bearings as to what's happening and where.
Looking forward to more updates.
Take care
From Australia 🙂
Sending prayers and thoughts to Iceland. Please stay safe. May the path of the lava stay away from the towns.
Many thanks for the information....wishing all in Iceland to be safe. Regards from Australia.
Thanks and greetings from iceland
Excellent footage.
Thank you!
Many thanks!
Omg. I hope all the people and animals were able to get away to safety. Prayer for you all ❤
So happy to hear your OK.
Be safe and may everyone be alright and little damage done.
Thank you for the maps. I could not pin the eruption zone without them.
This eruption looks powerful and intimidating.. The people of Grindavik must be worried about the week to come. Stay safe.
Hey Gylfi, you have a lot of fans out here who have enjoyed your coverage. You called it man. Please, take care and be safe.
Thank you. Your videos are the best and most informative. My thoughts are with the people of Iceland tonight.
Stunned and also not stunned. Thank-you for the update and your hard work to keep us informed.
Thank you Gilfi...I do hope that Grindavik, The Blue Lagoon and The Power Plant escape the flow of lava...ATB from Scotland and stay safe my friend.
An Icelandic friend woke me up an hour ago with these news and asking if I was in Iceland. (I'm at the East at the moment.)
But this is so weird, I've been following the earthquake map since November and they seemed to fade out. Just yesterday afternoon I thought about how it looks like the lava has maybe calmed down, and then these news this morning! 😮 I have my fingers crossed for the people of Grindavík that the town remains safe and that the powerful Mother Nature will spare them!
Thank you for keeping us updated.
She did exactly what I thought she'd do. But by the Gods, I was hoping and praying I'd be wrong. Thoughts and prayers are with you all. Stay safe everyone.
Thanks for the update, Gylfi. Fingers crossed for Grindavik. Stay safe!
Thank you for this excellent report, your overview is the best perspective and worth a thousand words. All of our hearts are there with you and the people of Grindavik. Eyes on Iceland! Hugs!
Thank you so much for sharing this info with all of us. Please drive safe on your way to the peninsula, and please be safe when you get there. Can't wait to see what kind of footage you get. Stay safe out there brother! 🙂👍🐧🐧
Stay safe all and I pray/hope the lava flow somehow stays away from Grindavik 🙏🌋Thanks as always for your amazing coverage.
wishing you and your fellow Icelanders and locals the best of luck.
Wow! That helicopter shot of the fissure is both beautiful and scary! Epic looking regardless.
Here we go! Happy to have your accurate and thoughful videos!
I hope that with everyone’s data (from the seismic activity to all the photos and videos), scientists can use this to help future predictions. We’re finally living in the data age, with so many instruments to gather info, it’s no wonder why this episode had such varied predictions from legitimate experts. Stay safe and thank you again for giving us the first-hand news.
Terrifying for the folks of Grindavik. How things can change in a nano second.🙏🙏🙏 for all the people. Safe travels Gilfi.
As always, this is where the best popular info is found. Your reporting is gold standard. Looking around at the news sites, you are the only one with a clue to what is going on. Gold. Thank you Gylfi and stay safe. Greetings from not so volcanic Norway.🇳🇴
Professor Shawn Willsey is not too shabby either. No hype and a lot of geology in an easily understood form.
Thank you so much for this continual coverage! I am praying for your safety as you go out tomorrow and for everyone in the area!
Be safe always my friend from Iceland
Appreciated! thank you
Thank you for the update, please stay safe. I hope the protection walls will hold and more protection walls for Grindavik will be build in time 🙏.
That fissure is huge! Thank you Gylfi! Looking forward to more of your beautiful videos! May you and everyone else stay safe! Praying that the protective barriers your government has had made will be effective!
Thank you for the coverage. Prayers for Iceland and it's people.
Welcome
As soon as I heard the news on the radio, I came to your channel. Thank you for your update, Gilfi.
🇦🇺 The helicopter early footage was incredible. I also watched livestream drone taken at about 2.30 am Iceland time which was midday here!
Great footage!!!
All my best to Iceland; you guys write the books on living with volcanoes!
❤💪🏼💥
Merci pour ces informations précises. Bon courage à tous les islandais
Hi Gylfi and I will start by saying hope is all we have and I hope the town and people of Grindavik get through this and can return home safely as for yourself please stay safe and have a plan just in case from the uk to Iceland 🇮🇸 best of luck good hunting 😊 ❤
I feel for the people of Iceland. I took good circle tour in Iceland a few years ago, and then spent a week in rekivike . The waiting and anticipation has been mounting here, and I can't imagine how bad it is there, in an earlier broadcast you said that Icelanders very resilient. There is a large population here in Manitoba and they certainly recently sent. I just wanted to say I really appreciate your insightful and detailed coverage so thank you prayers for you and everyone else and Icelanders everywhere., and those who love Iceland, because they've no a bit about Iceland and love it as well. ❤
I am so sorry for the people of Grindavik and the surrounding areas; but I still send you Season's Greetings and hope you can find ways to have a nice Christmas. 🎄💕
On the other hand, I find volcanoes, and the formation of new ones, fascinating. 🌋
Merry Christmas to you and always welcome🌋
Thank you for keeping us updated, hoping for the best for you guys
I visited your beautiful country several years ago, and I pray for your wonderful, friendly people that they will not be devastated.
Prayers for all affected from South Africa. ❤
Thank you!
Thank you for the update. Praying for a good outcome.
Appreciated! thank you
Thank you! Excellent professional job! Appreciate you. Praying for you all and your beautiful homeland. Aloha ❤
Thank you so much!
Glad to hear from you Gylfi - Please be careful and safe. I’ll be praying for Iceland and Grindavik.
Iceland is simultaneously the most beautiful and scary place on earth. Wonderful people, a lovely languags and breathtaking landscapes, but, it's also a geological nightmare. Wishing for the best outcome for the local residents
Praying for Ice Land.
Thank you for your update/reporting. Praying all the people remain safe…incredible happening. I dont know the history of grindavik but from the drone shots you can see where past lava flows went. Wonder why the city was established there because it looks,like prior lave flows went right through the area that is now the town
Gylfi explains this in many of his past videos - the very small town of Grindavik (not a city) was established there precisely because the historic lava flows created a safe harbour / port for fishing on what is otherwise a very rough / exposed coastline.
Same reason people lived in New Orleans despite it being a bad idea and even went back to it after Katrina.
Gylfi thanks for the most detailed explanation of the situation. Outstanding footage from the location before and after the eruption. Hopefully the barriers will work and keep everything safe from the lava.
Regards from New Zealand, thanks for the video and we hope everything will be ok and the town will survive..
Oh, my goodness. I'm so, so, sorry. I'm glad everyone is safe, but this must be so heart-rending - beyond it. We will be praying for you all. Do take care. 💜
🫂🥲 For now, it sounds like it's not as bad as it could have been. Thank you for the news and all the work 🫂 we think about you, love from France ❤ may you have a peaceful Yule/Jol guys ❤
Sending Love to all affected , thank you for your update 💜
Thank you so much!
i have an Icelandic friend, super worried for her, glad to find a channel i can understand better than news reports, stay safe guys!
So very grateful for your coverage of this beautiful but dangerous spectacle. Please be careful and stay safe. Peace and love from the UK
Found this channel a while ago, very informative and no long talking where it is not needed. Although.. in this case.. I could sit and listen to this wonderful accent all day long!! ❤ Greetings from Switzerland
@2:50, that's a scary view of the eruption with the city so close. I wish everyone on Ice Land the best. Merry Christmas and thanks so much for the updates that you post.
Commenting on the 20th, I am so glad the town's people were delayed in their return now. Despite all calls to not try to go there, today 1 person had to be rescued. So self oriented to not think of the safety of those who have to rescue them, especially poignant at this time of year. My heart goes out to all the people that cannot be at home right now. Be safe and Mid Winter Blessings to you.
This isn't just Iceland, this is humanity. We're in it together vs nature trying to kill us all XD Good luck man!
Your Patience has been Rewarded by Mother Nature
Thank you for Your Dedication / Bravery & Technical Prowess
Finally it arrived... I wish that all the people involved in the safety of Grindavik and the powerplant stay safe. Thank you for the information and your work to help us in understanding the situation. Take care
Thank you very very much for that grafic at 1:04. While others have the fissure pictures too, and even the well known live feed Cameras already known from last year had shown the eruption this night already, no one had the actual location in comparisson.
You are givving a good idea where this is all happening.
Thank you, stay safe and best wishes to all the people of Grindavik.
