    Shawn, I think you won the Internet today with that capture of the new fissure. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience, albeit tempered by its unfortunate location.

    @KellyConlan Před 5 měsíci +90

    Thank you for all your time taken to share this with us, especially on your anniversary (thank you to your family for sharing you with us today). It was absolutely devastating to see the fissure opened up outside the berm and then again so close to town.

    I live on the east coast. Yes, this is from earlier in the day. The lava did in fact encroach on the town where 3 houses caught on fire during Late afternoon EST. The " new" vent is what opened up and its lava crept into Grindavik😢

  • @catsandcrafts171
    @catsandcrafts171 Před 5 měsíci +6

    I watched live yesterday, and I was impressed by how you managed to maintain your sense of wonder at the geologic wonder of the fissures developing, but with a sense of sorrow for the people who were in the firing line. You also did an amazing job of juggling a lot of info, and you kept apologising for not multi-tasking well, but you provided astonishing coverage!!! We really appreciate what you do. Thank you.

    Although fairly new to your channel, due to the Iceland eruptions of the past several months, I watch regularly because of your teaching style. Having said that, I know you are a professor first and a CZcams podcaster second. However, with your time, financial investments, and care and concern you've extended to the Icelandic community (I am not one. I live and reside in the US), I am glad you discovered the second fissure eruption as it occurred. I was watching your livestream and saw when it happened via your drone flight, but this is a good post (just think, you will be in historical literature!). Thanks again for the educational exploration.

    Seeing that vent open up in real time made my heart sink. Praying for a short eruption and minimal damage. Watching Puna get annihilated in 2018 was horrible, I pray we don't see a repeat in Grindavik.

    @martinnyberg71 Před 5 měsíci +4

    If this trend of quick and dramatic eruptions in the same fissure system continues, can we say anything (from earthquake data for example) about if the next active fissure will be another kilometre south, or if the magma has least resistance going north of the first vents instead?
    Also, give your wife a huge hug and a big thank you from me for lending her husband and his expertise to us on that particular day. People who love you for the things you are passionate about are precious.

    @Swiftkai-zz1es Před 5 měsíci +6

    Watching this video is just surreal. I had finished watching a video from Just Icelandic filmed a year ago on how he predicted this area was a possibility for an eruption, and here we are. Thank you for this aerial footage. It certainly gives a different perspective on the volcano's dynamics and exactly where it's moving. It seems Iceland is becoming more visually active each year..

  • @Raptorman0909
    @Raptorman0909 Před 5 měsíci +12

    It is truly amazing what drones are able to do and the view they are able to give us -- not even helicopters can match this ability at 1000X the cost to operate. That closer fissure has already destroyed at least 3 homes and if the eruption continues for a couple days then the east side of Grindavik is likely to follow suit.

  • @LinkaBellGAME

As I watch the drone video I feel the inevitable coming ,I was hoping for the town to be spare but here is the reality ,can’t predict nature forces,so sad to see the town being destroy by the lava ,can only imagine how hard this must be for the people that call Grindavik home,I know Icelandic people are brave and resilient but this is so difficult to watch ,my heart goes out for them !

    Amazing to watch this video today after having seen the events yesterday. But yesterday what I saw was pieces of the action here and there.

  • @Raptorman0909

    Shawn, make sure to have them be very careful when overflight of the lava as the radiant heat can be too much for the drone!

    That is a great view, both angles 5:50 . Yah, that line right by town there progressed into the town, around the noon hour. By dark, it had burned a number of homes and began going down surrounding streets, they assume, heading to the water...

  • @Liz-sy7iu
    @Liz-sy7iu Před 5 měsíci +1

    Thank you for the great drone footage. It was fascinating, terrifying, respectful and very sad for the people of Grindavik. I watched it live and had to stop watching just before the lava reached the houses as it was 1am Australia time.
    My thoughts go out to the people of Grindavik, the emergency teams and residents of Iceland. Stay safe everyone.
    Happy Anniversary Shawn. I hope you managed to get some sleep.
