Eruption Number 9 Will Probably Become a Reality Late This Summer

I was holding on to the theory that the magma inflow was decreasing for as long as I could but it's no longe sensible since the numbers are quite clear about this. Eruption number 9 will most likely occur late summer or early autumn. We have been putting up a strong fight against those elements of nature but to be realistic, we can only do so much so we better get prepared for a cold winter on the Reykjanes peninsula because anything else would be pure luck, as things look now.
Some of the summer shots in this video are from projects iv'e been filming recently and many of them will be online soon.

Thank you, Gylfi. I hope the alternative hot water source works out as more than a backup and that more safe hot water and electricity sources can be added to the peninsula infrastructure as soon as possible. I also hope that Grindavik will be able to come back to life with tourism and especially fishing.

@sigisoltau6073 4 күн бұрын

There's at least one more eruption in the system. Magma influx has slowed, but not by much, not enough for it to stop just yet. I believe, based on what happened just before the last eruption, that inflow increased slightly, probably from four to five cubic meters. Magma volume increased by 2 million cubic meters in five days. Previously during a similar time frame it was 1.7 million cubic meters or less. So, based on that magma influx may have increased slightly. Also, with all the uplift, earthquake swarms, eruptions, uplift dropping again after each eruption, it's possible that the rock may have been stretched and cracked to the point that uplift was slower to respond this time.

It is mainly a mental and emotional problem. As said in the video the power plant is sitting at the worst place and actually Grindavik too, although easier to defend, sits also at a bad, i.e. low spot. Which normally would mean when you do that (build it there) you know that one day you have to move. Well - normally - but we humans are not normal any longer. We have become hard and brittle, cannot go with the flow and fight everything that does not fit this mindset. So in that sense the whole affair is a good thing as it points out our flaws. Will we learn from it? A few might but most people rather die than change. Which will be a general problem worldwide in the coming time.

There was an interview on Iceland Review recently where the vulcanologist indicated that the rate of magma influx under Svartsengi is getting slower with each eruption. He (Þorvaldur Þórðarson, I believe) is predicting an end to the eruptions in this specific area this summer. While the IMO graphs of magma accumulation are indeed a lower slope for the most part as you progress through this eruptive series, i dont see the same trend in the inflation numbers from the GPS data. Sadly, my guess is another eruption - around the end of August. After that... who knows! Maybe things will move to the West and spare Svartsengi and the Blue Lagoon. 🤞

The unfortunate reality of living where literally the entire landscape is volcanic in origin is that everything is likely temporary. Finding a "safe" place to build means understanding that it can rapidly become unsafe. Take what you can while you can while knowing the earth can take it back at any time. Heck of a way to live, but the landscape in Iceland is SO beautiful.

Hang on a minute Gylfi. If the thermal power plant were to be moved, wouldn't that mean the Blue Lagoon either loses its thermal water supply or needs to move with the power plant? I admit, I don't know a lot about either infrastructure.

@JustIcelandic 4 күн бұрын

Yes, those two units would go down togeather, the Blue Lagoon uses the mineral rich waste water from the power plant. I do however believe that those separate units could handle some distance and pipelines could do the trick, but I'm not sure. But this looks bad

I heard somewhere that Icelandic Pension Funds are invested in the blue lagoon (and maybe the power company too?). So it's a too many eggs in one basket situation. If they give up on the existing site, then the financial impact would be huge. Add in the energy/heating loss and it becomes a crisis. I guess when they built it the logic was, no eruptions for 750 years, it'll be fine. It makes me wonder what kept it asleep for 800 years, and what woke it up. The upper chamber was likely the source of the heat for the power plant, so it was there all along.

Even if the lava doesn't overtake Grindavik, there are still those fissures that can't be filled in. It's crazy enough for former residents to move back, but absolutely insane to let foreign tourists wonder around, other than maybe some kind of guided tours. I have wondered, as long as it, too, isn't buried, could the Blue Lagoon drill it's own hot water wells to keep the pools full even if the power plant is shut down?

I know Iceland wants to tread lightly on the environment, but they need to get more heavy equipment into the area. Likely several countries would be willing to help. They could select one of the hills to remove materials from and really build up the barriers around the power plant. Probably need to create a channel to help divert flows away so the lava doesn't pile up then go over the barriers as much. Likely would need multiple barriers so the flow would need to overtop each one. It may be all for not, but if they are going to want to save the power plant, they need to do more. But again, the amount of money and resources needed to increase defenses could instead be used for a new facility in a safer location. They just need to move on one way or the other with much more urgency. The eruptions aren't going to wait for a convenient time.
