Thanks for the update, Shawn!

Thank you for taking the time!

Question Shawn, since there is uplift and lava coming out here does this mean that somewhere on earth there is some land going down in a subduction zone.

Thanks I can’t always lady thru whole school but appreciate some science in this

Have you seen the road way collapse on hwy 22 between Victor ID & Jackson WY? Talk about road cuts....... lots of interesting yt content.

It's fun getting the updates....your energy and interest are inspiring. Thanks Shawn!😊

Another excellent class! I have recommended your videos to so many people.

Dr. Willsey, I well remember seeing those pedestal rocks on a drive north on 89 me and a friend of mine made up to Lee's Ferry some 25 years ago. Our intent was to do a little fly fishing on the river. In the event, we got a lot of exercise and some spectacular photographs, but no fish! Beautiful country up there.

Hope you and your family enjoy Charleston!

Iceland cannot get a break, sheesh

Thanks!

Thank you for your very informative update, it is greatly appreciated.

Thanks Shawn. Hope you enjoy your family holiday.

Thanks for the update. I hope your family did not mind you taking some time out of your family vacation to prepare and record the update. It is amazing to see how quickly they were able to build new roads over the May 29 lava flows west of Grindavik, but I guess the flows were thinner at that location. The June flow across the road north of the Svartsengi power plant and Blue Lagoon is much thicker, as you mentioned.

Thanks!

Is this one of the previous cones from a prior eruption - that has become active again? If anyone knows ?

A pool that has a continuous inflow is not stagnant. It may appear to be stable in surface area from a particular viewpoint but logic tells us it has an outflow. Gllfi's latest drone glimpse shows a significant outflow to the south. Two lava streams are active one from each side of the active cone.

Do yourself and us a favor, and get a cordless headset like a Jabra Evolve or something .. that way your 3.5mm jack in combination with your beat-up-in-a-laptop-compartment-plug wont ruin the audio ;)

Thank you for the update, Shawn, it's very appreciated. Something of interest: The June 2024 issue of Smithsonian magazine has an article about scientists exploring the lava tubes of Fagradalsfjall, wearing protective gear of course, and finding metastable minerals and at one point a wall that was still glowing red with a temperature reading of nearly 600°C!

Thanks a lot Shawn for the update much appreciated ,enjoy your time with the family,blessings !

Fascinating place! Thanks, Shawn!

❤❤❤

Pop open a cold one for me. If you’re in North Carolina, check out Meg Ledge off the Southern coast, divers have found Megalodon teeth down there.

Hello!! Ty for the update. I watched the lecture you gave. It was really good. Have a wonderful safe vacation.

Shawn, thanks so much for taking time out of your vacation to update us, your avid followers. We appreciate you!

Give it one more week of data to see if the uplift will continue

The pollution from gases over population centers is alarming. I feel especially bad for folks with asthma, children and the elders. ❓Are there any reports of a harmful impact on the animal life? ❓Do birds realize they should fly away❓Do Icelandic homes or large building complexes have filtered HVAC systems? I can imagine the air quality before the eruptions was excellent, so perhaps they haven’t needed air conditioning or filtered air systems. Sorry to besiege you with questions. That’s a sign, however, of how thought-provoking your videos are, Shawn. Thank you for being an island of intelligence amidst the choppy waters of sensationalism. ❤

Why does the uplift data look like the ground never deflated back to the original level since the beginning of these eruptive events? Does this mean the land is actually permantly deformed or is there a large amount of magma still within the chambers feeding the eruptions which will not allow the ground to return to the original height"

Morning Shawn, from Melbourne

Thank you for a straightforward discussion of the data and fresh shots of the eruptions.

Another very easy to access cinder cone is Lava Butte near Bend, Oregon. You can drive to the top. Spectacular views of many volcanic features in all directions with helpful displays in the old fire lookout to tell you what they all are. Then, to the west, close-up views of the Three Sisters Cascade volcanoes. Lava Butte is quite similar to the one in this video, with an asymmetrical top, a lava flow that exited from its base, and a trail you can walk all the way around the rim of the crater.

This... series, of eruptions, shows that predictions are not 100% accurate...except uplift-erupt-deflate and repeat, repeat, repeat.

The Travelling Willseys! "Looking for a place to happen, making stops along the way" (Song by The Tragically Hip - greatest Canadian band)

Hello. If the reservoir of the magma gets empty in many years, the one under the Blue Lagoon, Could it collapse, fall in? The way it happened in The Kilowea Crater?

The South pond is not stagnant but drained by 3 lava tubes. One at the end of the pond draining to the South and 2 in each of the front corners of the little bay extending to the West. The left corner one goes first to the West then turns South and the tube in the right corner drains directly to the South.

Aloha from Makaha.....yes, uplift continues, but rather slowly.....any ideas?

Just got back from Iceland yesterday and glad I missed the volcanic gas pollution over the capital. Great videos and certainly learning a lot about how earth works! Thank you.

I can hear the electrical feedback in the recording, and from that it is obvious that Iceland uses 50 HZ power, not 60 HZ like in the US.

Thank you for the update very helpful, enjoy your time away with family 😊

Take a break! Go enjoy the ocean

Thanks Shawn x

Will there come a time when they decide the money spent to save the town is more then the entire town is worth and just let the lava do its thing ?

Thanks for this update Shawn. Enjoy your holiday.

I must not understand what direction of cooling means, because every line you drew in this video looks like it’s parallel to the direction of cooling not perpendicular. If the direction of cooling is from outside to inside, then perpendicular would mean parallel with the surface. That would result in exactly the formation that we do see if it were once a volcano. Am I misunderstanding something here?

Shawn. I'm from Florida and just took a Helo tour over the volcano last Thursday(6th)and was phenomenal. Have videos to share and pics.....might put a link up here if allowed?

I am from this area. It's very cool seeing videos for the whole world done on all this amazing geography I get to see every day.

I would have mistaken the red tuff for a post glacial alluvial sandstone, heated and compressed by cycles of volcanic activity and glaciation. Thanks for the education and opening our minds to everyday sights around us.

Have a nice time on the east coast, my neck of the woods!

Thanks, Shawn. Inspiring, as always.
