Funny none of these reporters ventured an attempt to say the names of Fagradalsfjiall or Geldingadalir …I wouldn't eaither. Good luck Grindavik.
😢😢😢oh good Lord have mercy indeed 😢😢😢
Sensational drivel
Greetings,
LOVE YOU ICELAND❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
That looks like quite a new development they've built….like on top of a volcanic field. Property developers…yeah it will be fine. Cheap land.
1:13 Blame the fishers
with things like that i always imagine it being easier to "just blow(up) an exit" for the pressure somewhere, so it can be released "safely"…..but i bet thats not how the magama-corridor works, eh?!
All Praises To The Most High YAH❤❤
Your map graphic is crap. The Blue Lagoon Spa and geo-thermal heat and power station are located next to each other.
Saying that that tiny power station powers all of Iceland is like saying that the solar cells on your roof powere all of the US.
Prayers to you all
Escape………
Where can the residence go?
This has got to be caused by global warming. Everything else is…
This year, over the past decade, has become the most anomalous in terms of the number of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions on our planet. And looking at the dynamics of the cataclysms, it becomes clear that the situation will not develop for the better. The cause of catastrophic climate change is cyclical. The main factor is the destabilization of the planet's core. Details of the reasons for the current events were announced at the international forum “Global Crisis. There is a Way Out.”
Good thing increased volcanic activities do not have any impact on climate changes, unlike the cow farts…
could they force a fissure at a safe location?
Your maps have fantasy roads and fantasy locations. Someone invented those.
I think people will have plenty of time to get all their belongings out of their homes. Authorities need to let people into their homes a few at a time and provide trucks so they can get their furniture out and everything they have and allow people to put their things in storage units. So, when they can be awarded another house or place to live, they at least have their personal things and things that mean so much to them. Losing a structure can be dealt with but loosing precious items that are so important to a family is another thing. It will be easier for them to start out somewhere else. It would help them in the emotional part of this natural event.
Wishing you folks the best out there and I hope you can all get somewhere safe!
I know what that volcano can do.
Blue Lagoon, I visited that place back in 2009 or 2010. Blue lagoon is heated with the water from that power station, I think. It was June, full summer for the Icelanders, wearing thin summer outfits and I was wearing a puffer jacket 🙂
It's really awful that you've called this Volcano Watch. It's not entertainment
You can bet a few estate agents romanticised the volcanic reality as a selling point when trying to sell properties. Then you willingly mortgage a house on that land, surely that would have to clarified
Thank you
🙏🙏🙏
So if we sacrifice to the lava gods with the climate activist that are not doing anything to fix the problem it should stop.
Don’t forget to take care of dogs and cats ❤

Are they evacuating the drilling platforms in the North Sea in the path of the flow and earthquake pattern?
Pedeau will tax canadians for this volcano thinking it will save the environment 😂😂😂
Lets oray it doesn't hit the town and it tuns into the ocean 🌊 . WHY DIDN'T THEY TAKE THEIR PETS
its all about plastic bags , dont use them we save the planet ahahahhaahhahahah this joke .
Inaccurate report in some parts !
Nature is cruel tempting with a lovely natural harbour but running an unpredictable spreading plate's fault line bang through it.
I fear the really difficult and anguished decision to come is if there is no eruption can the town be repaired and repopulated given the risk there.
the volcano must be taxed
