Thanks! We live just under 60 km from Mt Rainier in Washington, USA. Unfortunately, Rainier is one of the "explosive" types with pyroclastic flows, etc. (same range as Mt. St. Helens), so although we know it could go off at any time, we are hoping it doesn't in our lifetimes. It won't be quite as "forgiving" as this one. Nature knows how to put man in its place :)

Thanks for the info, I was wondering how far it was and here you are with the answer

[@Mark1333]

I don't really comment on other people's channels, but I was wondering when this was going to occur, like many people around the world we knew it was only around 20km away from Reykjavik. Like others have commented, it is a fascinating angle I haven't seen before as yet, as well as the many videos of others visiting there who have recorded so much, from not just images, but to technical details, to fire tornadoes, drone footage, the sounds of the volcano, maps, charts, the earth movers trying to protect the road and fiber optic cables, tumbling boulders, the composition of the lava, the walls of the volcano collapsing (many times), the geyser that seems to be regular, the moss burning (making it look like fissures were opening up elsewhere), people making their way up and around and back and right up to, sitting and watching, night time footage and eruptions, the colours of the lava at all stages, panoramic shots, picture in picture eruptions, even the parking area and food van, and the list goes on and on and on. Like krisushi1 stated "I'd rather be watching the volcano anyway than the deplorable television content where I live." Or the news where I live, that shows doom and gloom and no information on this fascinating volcano birth and growth, which can and is being covered by so many people visiting this volcano or even the news there. For particular shots, angles and the like I was looking for, I just had to wait a few days and lo and behold someone recorded it and posted it on KZbin. I really wanted to see the all seven cones (only one is active now) and I did a few days ago as it was posted and it reminded me of the Hawaiian islands, as though they are islands, that's how they were built, one after the other in eruptions. Though this volcano if it continues, could bury all of them given enough time and lava flowing. I have heard that scientists are 'flocking to Iceland' to study this volcano, but you know what, I haven't seen or heard anything really from them on this, if at all and certainly not from the news where I live, for weeks now. Well done to the authorities too for their knowledge and skill at controlling the site, they of course have had centuries of practice of what to and not to do, that some other places in the world could learn from. One last funny point to leave on, is the scientist who said this eruption (when it first began), 'would last only a few days, perhaps a month'. Scientists are always changing their minds on certain subjects or getting it wrong and on this one, I am glad he was wrong on this one and for all the footage every one has supplied us with. So thanks again for your video and all those other ordinary people that have kept us informed, fascinated, thrilled and in awe of Mother Nature at work in the 'land of fire and ice' that is Iceland, where there are other volcanoes too, but to this one in particular. In the last couple of days the Fagradalsfjall volcanic eruption has been called a 'wonder of nature'.

Thank you for this beautiful and insightful comment, you are so very welcome, glad you liked my video 😊

[@cparker3872]

Ditto !

[@marymary4093]

Yes indeed, it's been a truly interesting and wholesome thing to keep returning to on KZbin, seeing and learning more as it develops in real time, hasn't it?! It's fun to watch. I'm particularly happy for all those Icelandic scientists who got SO close on the very first of days before lava covered the place they'd been standing!! And the undramatic attitude of Icelanders in general! Like advice for hikers: prepare, take care and don't be an idiot.

[@Mark1333]

15th January 2024 and a little over 24 hours ago at this date, the fourth volcano in this region erupted, so we have had them in 2021, 2022, 2023 and now this one, which has two fissures at Grindavik and where the first houses have succumbed to lava flow. Scientists are expecting this region to be continue to be like this for some time to come, (not as disruptive as the 2010 eruption that lasted for a shorter period, but these new eruptions will last for longer). I have made a play list with these (where clips are allowed) and as usual, 'the land of fire and ice' has not disappointed, though sadly, some people will lose their homes in Grindavik at this time, but the town was evacuated weeks ago.

Here we are again almost 3 years later, I could not have imagined an eruption basically inside Grindavík back then

[@randomoverpopulatedworldid3286]

is that where plates come together or is it like hawaii?

divergent tectonic plates run through the country 🙂

[@ursuss100]

To make it simple, Iceland is the largest part of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge that rises higher than the sea level. It is the exact opposite of subduction volcanism (where plates come together), here the North American and Eurasian plates move away from each other instead, which allows lava to flow between them. For this reason, most if not all Icelandic volcanoes produce fissural eruptions with lava fountains, though volcanoes located under the ice (like Eyjafjoll or Grimsvötn) can produce explosive eruptions when lava contacts the ice and vaporizes, which also poses a danger due to Jokulhlaups (floods caused by melting glaciers bursting open).
