I am once again fleeing my town, now Grindavík 2023 before I had to flee Heimaey 1973, then I was 12 years old, 50 years later I am fleeing again, but now I am an adult, and again this is a shock, we living on a volcanic island we are always fighting with mother nature. thanks to people like Þorvaldari we are all learning from what we don't know,

I admire the calm preparedness of the people of Iceland.

This is imho by far the best YT video about the current Iceland situation, thank you Þorvaldur Þórðarson and Reykjavik Grapevine !

I love how calmly he explained everything without getting viewers into a panic.he is after all a professor so he knows his craft.i don't think anyone can tell him much about what is going on or what to do.i have never met anyone from Iceland but what lovley people .just hope there in not a lot of damage.loved how he described it as cornflakes and yogurt.

It's great to listen to a real volcanologist explain what is happening in such a factual and matter-of-fact way, and debunking some of the wild, fanciful theories put about by some media outlets (which are mainly clickbait anyway). Iceland because of its geographical position has centuries of experience in observing movements in the earth's crust; nevertheless it's a worrying time for the good folk of Grindavik at the present time. Hopefully they can return to their homes before too long. Thanks for this interview!

That was very informative and at a level of detail that I, as a lay person, could understand. Thank you, both to The Rekjavik Grapevine and to the professor (whose name I'm afraid I dare not attempt to type). It's good to get a non-sensational take on events.

The professor respects and understands mother nature. His passion and knowledge is reassuring.

Really appreciate your questions and this gentleman who explains everything so beautifully. Love listening to people who know what theyre talking about and are qualified to comment. And yes no scaremongering. Thankyou both.

Since your previous chat with the proffesor I love his calm intelligence, thank you for the update

Fantastic interview, very informative, and with scientific humility like it should be

this was the best explanations of events so far on the internet

Excellent video. Thanks for producing this for us, very very interesting to hear the professor give such detailed answers.

This was a great interview. Thanks for that, The Reykjavik Grapevine. I know that Þorvaldur sometimes makes bold statements in the media which make people scared or even angry, but he seems to be very knowledgeable and sincere, with a good heart. Let's hope the current situation around Grindavik and the Blue Lagoon calms down.

so good to listen to a man that REALLY knows what he is talking about! 🙏🏻

What a lovely man. Excellent interview!

Great interview! The professor gave very informative and understandable answers.

This is so informative. Thanks for doing this interview to Professor Þórðarson.

Thank you SO MUCH for providing these amazing videos. Not only are they immensely informative, but they often showcase the resilience and solidarity of the people of Iceland. Again, thank you. 🙂☮️

Great piece. I've been following your channel. For a couple of weeks. The professors explanations are clear, informative & fascinating. Thank you.

Excellent! Its nice to hear expert information and the questions by regular people answered in professional manner.

Really illuminating. Thanks, Prof Þórðarson, Catherine for an excellent interview, and Art for brilliant camerawork.

Wishing the townspeople the best of luck.

Thank you so much for the interview. Very nice to watch and I learned so much.

In more than short term, the good thing about the hydrothermal power plant and subsequently blue lagoon is that if they get destroyed, you can literally build new ones. Both of them. Also in a completely different place.

Thank you for explaining what is happening there in Iceland. I find it fascinating and would love to visit sometime.

Thank you for this fascinating "lecture". I'm learning so much from these interviews. I was especially struck by the professor explaining that lava serves to fill in the tears the plate boundary separation creates. Nature filling in its own potholes. 😁 Many well wishes for the Grindavik residents. That's not going to be an easy fix, my goodness!

It's amazing nobody seems to stress out. Everything those people do prevent real disasters, do it with so much calmness.

Excellent video. Great interview. Once again RG gives us the true prospective. So appreciate being able to get a glimpse of the lava walls being constructed. Please keep these videos coming.

Fantastic interview! Thanks so much for posting and sharing. 41.33 gives a great take on the present situation. Second last segment suggests "be prepared, respect it [the volcano and processes] and don't ignore it!" Long yes. Informative? Definitely.

Sad to see these evacuated homes, breaks your heart, so so sorry folks, be strong, be brave

Very informative and extremely interesting! Thank you! 😊

An excellent production it is something we have been waiting for. Thank you.

Thank you for this informative and engaging video. I hope you will continue to post updates about future seismic and volcanic activity and how these affect people and the environment.

Thank you for a very informative update on the situation in Iceland 🇮🇸- God Bless and know that we hope all is well in that wonderful part of the World 🌋

I could listen to this Professor all day, amazing insight into a fascinating phenomenon that is Nature Great video thank you 👍

Med stoisk ro,utrolig godt forklart.Fint å få et bilde av evt.scenarioer.

He nailed it. His prediction was right on! Iceland is lucky to have a professional like him. Give him a raise!!

That was a great interview, Thank you professor Thordarson and Mrs Fulton.

This video is so interesting. We have more than 4 important volcanos in Mexico and we want to learn more. But we don't have a youtube Chanel to explain the things like you do. Thank you

Thank you for presenting this logical analysis of events in Iceland. Geology and geophysics are fascinating, but my heart goes out to the families, the industries, the community being affected now.

Thank you very much for featuring my question! Didn't expect it but very much appreciat it :D

This is by far the best and most informative video I have seen on this probable eruption,

Thank you for the informative discussion ❤

This was a very informative interview. I was totally impressed by this professor.

Came here cos of iceland live link and stayed for the entire chat 👍 thank you to all parties

Thank you very much, this was a fantastic interview!

Thank you. I appreciated all of this information. I have been following this event right along and hope to stay with it to the end.

What a great interview!

Thank you Doctor. Fascinating. Great information. 👍👍👍

Thank you for bringing the whole one hour interview! In our fast living time this is a gem.

Thank you both very much.. in Wa.-USA here... I appreciate the the in depth, clear , respectful approach and the questions were very interesting, too. I especially. thank the Doctor for his generous demeanor and patience to illuminate many aspects of this event, Iceland and its peoples.

I truly appreciate this update. Thank you.

Such an informative interview. Many thanks for this.

Thank you Catharine, a great interview,.😊 I love listening to the professor. I wish I was 40yrs younger and could attended his lectures 😅. ♥️🙏

Awesome interview. I feel like I am back at uni! Please keep updating us. I'm fascinated. Thank you!

Thank you for the information update.

This was quite interesting and informative. I live in Hood River, Oregon, right around the corner from a burger place called Twin Peaks because from there you can see Mt. Adams in Washington and Mt. Hood in Oregon. Both volcanoes. Climb some local peaks and you can see other volcanoes in the Cascade Range including what's left of Mount St. Helens which blew up in 1980. There are lava fields of various ages all around here. Go up the Columbia River and you see mile after mile after mile of basalt columns from massive lava flows millions of years ago coming all the way from eastern Washington and Idaho. So yeah, I was primed to be interested and the questions and answers here were very good.

Biggest lesson learned, never doubt Heidi!

Thank you for a wonderful interview!

This interview was amazing, thank you both!

I loved this long-form content. Really informative.

great information. very clear. i understand what is happening now. Thank you

BEST interview! Thank you. 🥰🤗

Brilliant interview. Thank you.

Amazing video thanks for the update

Superb episode, thank you!

Thank you so much for this video it was very interesting and informative, very easy to understand the questions and comments from both proffesionals..i think were more connected to other humans thru the cellphone and internet and want to show that were thinking of other fellow humans even if we cant physically be there to help we are sending our thoughts and donations to help those in need....💛🇨🇦🇺🇲💛

This professor is one of the best in Iceland, and probably in the world. Because how man countries and people have to thing about this subject. Iceland is one of the most active places and has some of the best experts in these things.

Fantastic interview, thank you both!

Great discussion - thanks for such an informative explanation.

He has been the most reassuring presence. So chill for such a hot topic. (pun intended!)

Thank you for a most informative interview from Australia.

NIce man. Smart too. Seems like a straight shooter.

This is the most informative interview I have seen.

Thank you everyone 🤗

This was great, thank you so much. I learned a lot.

What can you say but just brilliant, thank you from UK 😍

Thank you. Very informative, great questions and even better answers.

Excellent interview!

This should be a mandatory hour for any un-knowledgeble person willing to comment the news in Facebook or watching a sensational KZfaqr's videos :D

Your experts are super smart! It would be great to study under him at university

He's my new hero!!!

To worry about mother nature on a daily basis has to be nerve wracking. Praying for the safety of the residents there.

Awesome interview thank you so much for sharing . ❤

Thank you so much!!

Minute 31:51 "Good preparation prevents poor perfomance"

Thank you! Thank you! SO much info!

Well Done!!!

beautiful. thank you.

Thank you both

how to live in a life-threatening natural area, how to perceive, organize, react, they know this just like in Japan, where there is a single culture, community and ability to respond, saving lives - together - typhoons tsunami volcano. activity in Mexico, Italy, South America. Stay safe Vikings of Iceland!

That was very interesting, thank you.

11:42 the good thing, if one can look at it that way, is that Iceland grows. Someday, maybe Iceland is the next continent.
