New Hot Spots by Hengill Volcano -Just by the Hottest Highway in the World

[@johnharling5246]

Love the music very appropriate.

[@JustIcelandic]

Thanks :)

[@yomogami4561]

wow thanks for the thermal updates. i'd say you're doing your civic duty and i hope the highway department are taking this seriously loved the videos and narration gylfi

[@JustIcelandic]

Thanks a ton and always welcome :)

[@aoilpe]

At least this portion of the road will stay ice free…😂❤

[@JustIcelandic]

Yes we need more such roads 😂

[@watrgrl2]

Wow! Fascinating video! I loved the thermal imaging! Thank you for sharing this with us.

[@JustIcelandic]

Glad you enjoyed it!

Just saw there’s was a 5.1 earthquake at Tungnafellsjökull. Wonder what’s going on there.

IMO has a 4.14 at Bardarbunga. I'm not sure if this is the same one as USGS has as a 5.1. Now IMO has removed the Bardarbunga earthquake!!

Interesting and again beautiful footage. Looking forward to the thermal images near Grindavik. It has been rather shaky today there, N of Grindavik.

[@JustIcelandic]

I need to come back there soon when it's colder, I found a few spots that I would like to look at again

Absolutely fascinating. I always enjoy your videos. Thank you for sharing.

[@JustIcelandic]

Thanks for watching!

[@williamlloyd3769]

Glad you’re getting experience with the drones thermal sensor. Hopefully, you’ll get an opportunity to use instrument on a new eruption.

[@JustIcelandic]

I will use it a lot this winter, it's the drones first winter with me :)

it would be cool if he predicts the spot for the next eruption.

This is pure gold Gylfi. The thermal drone is awesome.

[@JustIcelandic]

Thanks a ton :) it's a fantastic tool :)

[@bevinboulder5039]

The difference since May is pretty obvious. Am I the only one who would feel nervous driving over that stretch of highway?

[@JustIcelandic]

I think it's perfectly safe :)

[@MarkRLeach]

I really like the 'thermal' image inside the 'normal' image (for example, at 45 sec. in). Really shows what is going on!

[@JustIcelandic]

The best has yet to come :)

[@christhompson4270]

Awesome video, please stay safe and thank you for sharing this update 👏🙏❤️

[@JustIcelandic]

Thank you, I will :)

[@dianem2071]

Great video as always! Oct 24, 2023: Checked on the quake in Bardabunga. Depth was only 1.8 km. Fossholl at 10 km. But lots of cluster quakes around Bardarbunga and Grindavik. Something is definitely going on! Gylfi, get ready to roll! 👍

[@JustIcelandic]

🌋 the next round is just around the corner :)

[@BobDiaz123]

The thermal camera images are amazing. The cars, which should be warm, look cooler than the ground, this says that the ground is very warm. It will be interesting to see how this plays out in the future.

[@JustIcelandic]

This camera will blossom this winter :)

[@ruthkirk9287]

What a great video, and lovely clear explanation of your recordings. Thank you so much xxxxx

Good evening Gylfi, Iceland is still hot. I’m curious about future developments. Stay safe.

[@JustIcelandic]

Things are heating up now, that's for sure

[@alive_and_kicking]

Thanks Gylfi. I fear for the Blue Lagoon area because of the strong earthquakes today. Hopefully it fades away and let this area and Grindavik in peace.

[@JustIcelandic]

Update on the way......

[@yomudd4x443]

That's scary being under the road.

It's pretty clear that it is indeed getting warmer and more widespread. There may still be surprises, I'm curious about the sequel

[@JustIcelandic]

Thanks Peter :)

[@forthedisenfranchised4366]

Hi Gylfi, I hope you're good. I saw another swarm commence early hours and this after another 4+ quake at Bardarbunga - I thought to myself, I am sure Gylfi mentioned this pattern previously, where a 4+ quake at Bardar, appears to instigate another swarm at Reykjanes, and sure enough you had mentioned this 3 weeks ago (I just checked). I think this pattern occurring more than once cannot be coincidence - I guess it just shows the potential enormity of the volcanic system/s there. I wondered the magma at Reykjanes is unstable that it reacts immediately to the shockwaves, rather than by any other connection (hopefully IMO can map this magma response?) Great work Gylfi

[@JustIcelandic]

Thanks, the final and largest seismic swarm before the July eruption started with action in Bárðarbunga as well

[@zweispurmopped]

The more I see of your thermal imaging drone, the more I wonder why Iceland's government didn't set up a fleet of drones with IR cameras years ago. Stunning footage! 💪🤗

[@JustIcelandic]

Good point!

[@forthedisenfranchised4366]

It might be time for one of the agencies to start monitoring roads more regular by having infrared camera's installed to some of their vehicles, in that way, the monitoring could become more routine and relatively more real-time. Given the weather in Iceland, I guess drone use would be a more ad-hoc tool, perhaps as a follow-up such as you're doing.

[@JustIcelandic]

I got this footage to a news agency that contacted the road administration and others for more info, and I'm still awaiting the feedback, or going after it my self since this matter is stuck somewhere

[@anitamitchell3452]

Greetings from Nevada. Question- Do we have any idea how the highway department would "fix" the roadway with a lava fracture under said roadway? Tricky to say the least. Thanks for the update and waiting for cooler weather to come.

[@JustIcelandic]

Good question! I know of one newspaper waiting for answers from them but this fracture under the road needs to be checked better in my next trip.

[@stephanieparker1250]

The cars with the hot tires is kinda fun to see. 🤗

[@JustIcelandic]

👍

[@Boop__Doop]

I hope this stays as the hottest highway for now, because the alternative means saying goodbye to road 427 or road 43

[@JustIcelandic]

✌

[@stephanieparker1250]

Gylfi! I saw the big earthquake and immediately thought of you! I wonder if an eruption is coming soon for that area! 😲😲

[@JustIcelandic]

Not yet, but things are heating up for sure :)

[@melodyszadkowski5256]

Yikes. I have one eye on Iceland and one eye on Hawai'i. I hope no one else goes off any time soon because I am out of eyes!!! Take care, GG!

[@JustIcelandic]

Welcome 🌋

[@angelnightchild412]

you should go there pretty soon cuz we got some swarming of earthquaks going on in Hengill at the moment.

[@JustIcelandic]

It's just about where the infection takes place, return of co2...so man made earthquakes do happen around there occasionally, but I'm waiting for more news fro there...

[@toady..9833]

be interesting to see if reykanes starts to swarm now there's been a high 4 at bardabunga

4.9 and it's good to see this here: vafri.is/quake/

Cant say but looks volcanic

[@DisVietVetUSA]

Interesting to see f you can cook a hotdog on that highway

[@JustIcelandic]

Not yet, but it can be done just by the road...

[@Kangaroo_Caught]

Isn't it always the way. Gylfi posts a video and while he's uploading it there a two earthquakes in Iceland over 4. Near Grindavik and near Bardarbunga. Sorry I can't use the Icelandic characters.

[@stephanieparker1250]

Or he posts a video and everything stops cold for awhile. 😂

[@JustIcelandic]

👍

[@imsbvs]

Will be interesting to find out if this is signposting a serious future problem, or just normal heat movements. I guess time will answer this! Meanwhile I note there has been an earthquake swarm near to Grindavik & Blue Lagoon today, hopefully the upcoming eruption will be elsewhere!

[@renaeparadise]

lots of activity here atm?

[@gerhardanton8759]

with my typical Humor: so will not be problem with Ice or Snow in Wintertime on the Asphalt. 🤣 ... in Bucharest also a lot of steam comes besides the streets; but the reason: hundreds of leakages in the Pipelines for Heating Water ....... ..... Iceland: a very special geological phaenomen, interesting..... but, in winter the steam and fog can be problem for traffic... greets from Romania .... ....

[@cantabilewoman]

Ummmm that's scary! Could there be an eruption there? Would it be like the other three eruptions or would it create ash? If it would that would suck for us living in the capital area. Have you checked out what's going on in Bárðsbunga? There was a 4.9 earthquake there this morning.

[@HappyHoney41]

Will you be able to fly your drone over Svartsengi?

[@JustIcelandic]

Soon.....

[@diffrntlytwistd7442]

it's not fair that now the roads to Grindavik are closed, you can't get your thermal drone up in the area .... you could provide valuable information when they need is the most . I think THEY should be calling YOU!!!

[@vinnyheaphy1372]

Gylfi, What would your government do if a Volcanic fissure opened up spilling lava all over the place on that major highway in the middle of winter?

[@Dragrath1]

Probably close the road down like they do in other volcanic islands since you can't really safely drive over lava.... At least not yet since the tires would melt and volcanic gases and heat would be bad for the undercarriage. I can't rule out the possibility someone might one day figure out how to make lava proof tires and insulate the Undercarriage from volcanic heat and outgassing, and of course some way to provide fresh air for vehicle occupants to breathe safely. Amusingly enough if those problems were resolved you would actually be able to drive on molten lava in principal because even though its a fluid it's still just as dense as solid rock. Still even if lava proof cars were invented liability concerns would still shut down the road....

[@vinnyheaphy1372]

@Dragrath1 -Though I was asking Gylfi, your answer is silly!! If I was a consultant for the Icelandic government, I would prepare 2 ferryboat slips to transport their population's vehicles from one city to another, bypassing the affected road!!! Seattle, Washington and Vancouver BC, Canada have done this for decades!!!
