The Blue Lagoon Incident Was Only Innovative Engineering Saving Valuable Infrastructure

[@jarnevanbec2886]

If all content-creators (including professional news agencies) would create content like you do, the world would be so much more pleasant.

[@GeologyHub]

The success of the protective dirt and rock berms against the various lava flows will 100% be studied in the future as a textbook example of success by future geologists and engineers.

[@Lekt0r]

Nice to see you here GH, appreciate your work !

[@Chrispy4957]

Its him! Its the guy!!! The rock guy!

[@KatlaJokulsdottir]

Yes and this should hold even if (what I really hope not to happen) the eruption series eventually does destroy Grindavík and Svartsengi. I've seen quite some comments on other youtube channels, when things were tight with the March and May eruptions, which said: "This is pointless waste of taxpayer money". However, success depends on how quickly the volcano gets tired, which is unpredictable. The lava barriers could never guarantee anything, but they increase the CHANCE of Grindavík and Svartsengi surviving. Seeing that both places contain stuff (infrastructure, harbour, houses, non-monetary values such as the lively community that might be revived) that are many many times more valuable than the cost of the lava barriers, even a small increase to the chance of their survival makes the building cost worthwhile. (Who wouldn't happily spend one dollar for a 10% chance of winning 500 dollar?)

[@lisade8135]

I was in Iceland before the last eruption and witnessed the flooding and destruction of the Ring Road. To this day, I can’t believe how quickly you Icelanders repair things and respond to such massive natural events! You people are simply incredible. In countries like Germany, it wouldn’t have worked nearly as fast. Thank you so much for your great work, the detailed information, and the amazing footage. It’s always a pleasure to watch your videos. And by the way: I love the Icelandic accent!

[@rebeccashannon3080]

Iceland is blessed to have such dedicated workers to defend their infrastructure ......Amazingly courageous! Thanks for this update!

[@sbaumgartner9848]

Yes it’s amazing the dangerous and long hours of work they do. Keeping their lava flows at bay as well as all of their roads, bridges, etc. is a huge job requiring a lot of expertise. This is one reason Iceland is so expensive. It’s an amazing country in many ways. It stole my heart when I was there in June.

[@renater.540]

Yes, that's what I thought, too. Icelanders are not only tough, but creative peoole. Not resigning , each and every time coming up with new solutions. Profound respect for this country!

[@KatlaJokulsdottir]

@@sbaumgartner9848 to be honest, I doubt that this is one of the reasons why Iceland is so expensive 😲 A bigger reason is probably the remoteness, lots of stuff needs to be imported from far. Interestingly, for many centuries, Iceland was actually cheap. It's a weird bit of history. Iceland was part of the Danish kingdom, and its foreign trade was in the hand of the merchants, or trade companies, to whom the kind rented the island. During that whole period, prices were fixed by law. Most trade was barter trade (fish, mutton and woollen goods against grain, wood and tools), money didn't play a big role in practice, but still, it was also fixed how much money everything would cost. Since the prices in Iceland were prescribed by law, there was no inflation, but in the rest of the Danish kingdom, there was some inflation, so most goods became gradually more expensive with respect to money. So in terms of money, Iceland was much cheaper than the rest of Denmark. Since this held both for import and export (and tourism was virtually non-existent), this did however not matter much in practice; what mattered, were the relative prices of imports (grain, tools) and exports (fish etc). At some stage the kind decided in his wisdom to change the price list and basically update for all the inflation that had happened outside Iceland.

[@Sally4th_]

If there's one thing Iceland excels at it's civil engineering. Total respect to the engineers and operators who put that berm together and stepped up at the last moment to close the gaps. It was like watching a siege army at work. I hope everyone gets a chance to catch their breath before the next mad bit of engineering :)

[@karllove57]

Well we have lived here for 1.100 years with all kinds of natural hazards so we have grown stubborn. We even try to fight lavaflows (go figure 🙂) and try to control were they go. Also when things like this happen we have always shown our best side and we have stood together as one big family. Between these events we argue like an italian family ;-). Greetings from Iceland the land of ice and fire.

[@KatlaJokulsdottir]

@@karllove57 like one big family is maybe a little exaggerated, no? in 1784, after a certain very bad eruption, it was the leapers who starved first and then the farmhands, whereas farmers and their wives and children were much less likely to starve. Not that I can't understand that a farmer who lost more than half of his animals and can just about hope to scrape by will feed his children and wife before feeding his labourer, or kick his labourers out (despite this being illegal outside the "journey days" in early June) in the vague hope that the labourer will find food in the western fishing regions or whatever. It must be damn difficult to treat everyone like your family when your actual family is in such a terrible predicament.

[@terryroots5023]

'Like toothpicks on a burnt chocolate cake' - genius! Thanks Gylfi for the update.

No snow on the car park for this winter ;-) Free heating ;-) Just need to (re-)buld the car park ;-)

[@77ladentelliere]

@@karllove57 I had the pleasure to travel in your country with a french volcanologist in 1979 (I am 75 now) and we saw wonders all around... but we had no contact with Icelandic People as we were always in the field, and it is my regret for this trip. I read (in french) books by Arnaldur Indridasson, Eva Bjork Aegisdottir, Ragnar Jonasson, etc... and love them ! What I feel about Icelandic People mainly comes though articles and videos around Reyjkanes eruptions and TV programs (we had one recently concerning men knitting and that was great !). In my marketplace here I can buy sea urchins from Iceland and, looking at them, think that they may come from Grindavik ! One thing is sure : my trip in Iceland was the trip that "impacted" me more than all others. Greetings from Paris, Christiane

[@alayneperrott9693]

Another great video, Gylfi. You represent the humour and irrepressible spirit of Icelanders better than anyone else!

Oh, I loved the smiling horse with a winter coat!! Thank you!!

That horse is,....... "Just Icelandic"!!!!

[@anitapaulsen3282]

That is crazy how it looks now. Those berms really saved the blue lagoon and the power plant! Hope that continues to be the case. Looking at the old footage before any of this happened made it look so defenseless and vulnerable, so innocent. How things have changed. Wow....

Your commentary, facts, and science, with spectacular footage, is the reason your channel, Glyfi, is my first point of access. Trustable and reliable citizen journalism is a rare thing and should be cherished. Greeting from Melbourne, Australia, where it isn't as hot as Iceland's lava... yet. Here comes our Summer.

[@davidmiller6010]

Thank you sir, appreciate your level headed approach to reporting.

[@fosterkennel649]

And as we know, you live on the island of Fire and Ice. My grandparents on the Christopherson side came from Iceland to Canada and established through the Canadian government New Iceland near Manitoba. Years ago I met the President and his wife from Iceland when they visited San Francisco and came to our family Honorary party. I am proud of my Viking heritage..Blessings to you and yours...

[@Caprabone]

Hello, fellow Icelandic Canadian! *offers you some vinarterta*

[@sbaumgartner9848]

Thanks for sharing your background. 🇨🇦🇮🇸

[@denominator208]

Hello from the land of your ancestors!

[@fosterkennel649]

You had to bring up that wonderful cake which I know is very time-consuming to make, but sadly, as I'm a very old proud Viking, the family members who used to make it are all gone. I am no baker and I now have to look it up and see if I could try to replicate it. I remember hearing about the little town of Baldur, Manitoba, and my grandfather talking about trapping muscrat and the minus 50 f temps in that area.They came from Iceland with I believe 50 other icelanders led by a Mr Taylor and I freely admit there were a lot tougher than I could ever be. My clan consisted of the stonesons and the christopherson's who largely ended up in San Francisco. Blessings to you and yours

[@Peter.R.M.]

Time for optimism now and repairing what mother nature has thrown at Iceland. All credit to the workers who have done so much to restrict the lava flow. Thank you Gylfi, and the horse, for explaining how things are improving.

[@SebRomu]

I waited to watch your update, rather than the breaking news style videos of this latest development. True fan!

[@susanjacquier5358]

Thanks Gylfi for putting information together to support the videos already put out. Sometimes visuals are exciting, but to know what, where and when Is the icing on that cake :)

[@kathrynronnenberg1688]

The horse looks ready for winter. Thanks for the update. Someone should take a group photo of all the heavy equipment operators who have so bravely defended the power plant, Blue Lagoon, and Gridavik. And the road and power crews who get everything up and running after every eruption, too.

[@fiammaeva8829]

I was thinking about the workers picture too! Maybe a calendar 😅

[@cat5457]

I was there in September, was amazed that the last lava flow cut off the entry road! Glad they built those barrier walls! It’s a nice facility!

[@sbaumgartner9848]

I was there in June. We were lucky to get into Blue Lagoon as it had been closed a few days before. We someone. Absurd to drive past the outskirts of Grindavik. I have a soft spot for Grindavik and of course Gilfy.

[@pauloneill6774]

[@catherinehubbard1167]

I’m so glad this eruption is proving less damaging than feared. On a smaller but still significant scale, I’m also glad you decided not to go rushing down to the eruption to get footage so many others were already collecting. Your way has always been unique both in purpose and in execution, and I feel you are wise to stay safe and warm where you can work on your ongoing projects. I look forward to seeing them as they are completed. Thank you for your wonderful videos.

The picture of the town covered in snow looks lovely. I would much rather see the snow than seeing lava covering a parking lot, especially when it can be replaced. ❄

[@Dax-D]

I was just there in July. It sucks for what was lost, but the engineers have done some amazing work to control where the lava flow goes.

[@ericfielding2540]

Thanks for sharing your calm perspective and all the excellent “before” video of the car park, roads, power lines, and the hot water pipeline. It seems that this eruption was incredibly powerful in the first few hours but started decreasing flow quickly. The first part was enough volume to reach the Blue Lagoon but the engineers and construction crews designed and built the berms to withstand it.

[@skyedog24]

I'm glad the power plant and the Blue lagoon are safe

Glad you enjoyed it

[@LynnseyCTheReviewQueen]

I laughed out loud with "I have spent many dull moments there" and "One cold carpark gone, one new hot car park already there". Love your humor Gylfi. I also got super focused on the part where the outdoor swimming pools were open and people were swimming in them (I realized that those are heated?). We don't have outdoor swimming pools open much during the winter here in Sweden, though at some water parks...they do have an outdoor pool open as long as it's linked to a pool indoors and it's heated (which is refreshing). Great vid!

[@sfos4898]

Akureyri looks beautiful in the snow!

[@sbaumgartner9848]

I’m envious of the warm swimming pool options . I didn’t make it to Akureyri 😿 but I gather the climate is warmer in summer than we’d expect. It’s a very attractive city.

[@mjja00]

We spent a lovely summers day in at the pool when last in Iceland. Much better than the Blue Lagoon!

[@jacquie-h4530]

Thank you for the update, Gylfi, and the great humour. I loved the 'smile' at the end. I am amazed at the speed of the work to close the berms and how close the guys work to flowing lava. Deep respect to Icelanders.

[@T1M6]

Your sensible approach is definitely the way go, safety is paramount.

[@TeriWilde]

It would take the UK government 13 years to rebuild the carpark.... Iceland rocks... literally!!!

I will try to make it but need to combine some freelance job into the package because this is no longer as strong subject as it used to be :) and i dont like filming when there as so many others around dion the same :) hoping for different angles as things settle a bit :)

[@falscherbruce5522]

We just need a webcam to show the fearless workers build a new car park as soon as the lava stops moving.

[@michaelripley4528]

I watched webcam 30-40 min after eruption start.. That lava flow was running extremely fast!!! Fastest i have seen from Iceland!💯

[@JustIcelandic]

Yes it might be the fastest flowing lava we have seen fo far...

[@michaelripley4528]

@ Hard to say how fast, According to footage without fixpoints! Think it would outrun me🫣 But the Burst hight (ms^2)x5 called it to 80-100 m High 🤓 Drop from apex was like +4 seconds!

Disappointed to have missed it but I was coming back anyway. I love the Icelandic stoicism around this natural phenomenon. Everyone I talked to just accepted it as if it was a minor inconvenience. I am staggered at the scale of the lava field around blue lagoon. It hits home how close we were to such awesome power. Thanks for doing this!

Your strength lies in giving us the overview of the landscape before and after each eruption, so no need to rush there yet. And your before shot above the BL and carpark, coupled with how it looks now is the story to me. We can watch the fountains on the webcams and drone flights all day long (and I do!), but to me, the real story is where the lava flows go and what they impact. Watching how the 'Berminators' work tirelessly to build the berms in front of hot lava to save the power plant, Blue Lagoon and Grindavik and rebuild the roads is a true testament to the Icelandic spirit. I'm glad you cover that aspect and it's why your channel is unique in all of this coverage. I appreciate what you do!

[@dahobi]

Thanks Gylfi, for keeping us all updated! It's always a pleasure to follow your videos and hear your calming Icelandic voice!

I thought the parking lot was always considered to most likely be an eventual sacrifice. It was built on top of a lava field, and the next one will be on top of a new lava field. And if it was particularly important to protect, they wouldn't have built the berm behind it.
