The film you showed, shows lava going over the top of the barrier that was built, not "burning through it" and in another place crossing the road where there isn't a barrier. The lava has so far been stopped from reaching the power plant and the Blue Lagoon, and Grindavik has only been reached once by a relatively small lava stream after going under the barrier below ground level and breaking through to the surface inside the barriers, so in actual fact the barriers have been surprisingly effective! And in several places the lava has been stopped and re-directed.

Thanks. It gets confusing to this non-geologist

Most of the residents have evacuated some time ago. And most of the time the tourists are out of there. Except for the illegal volcano viewers, mostly young people who are getting WAY too close.

I have wondered why they didn't create a channel leading towards the ocean and away from the town....of course I don't know the topography of the area so I am just speculating like the rest...

The raised berms/barriers Icelanders built channel the lava around the power plant and the town, effectively channeling the lava toward the ocean if it is moving south If it flows west toward the power plant, berms keep it flowing west until it can also flow south around the berms that are on the west side of the plant.

If it gets to the ocean, the lava hitting the water creates a very bad gas pollution.

If you are compss savy. The Grindavic Fissure Town is on the south coast with the ocean to it's south east, south, and south west. The lava flow in the video is north of the town maybe about 1500 meters (yards) away. The shortest distance is due south. But that is where the Town is down hill from the lava. So they try to channel it further west to go around the town. It is flowing from some distance away around the north side of a hull (Stllingefell or something like that). The lava is flowing down hill from the vent and other sides are already covered and workers can not get closer. So the lava is flowing the only route left. It was formerly flowing south towards the ocean from the vent on the south side of the cone. But it changed direction to the west from the cones west side.

They should have posted lots of LAVA FREE ZONE signs and maybe a few crates of environmental impact forms.
