Your series on Icelandic towns & villages is awesome! I really loved Vík when I visited Iceland many years ago and this gives me a different perspective... Thank you, Gylfi, for your beautiful videos and always reliable information.

Finally something showing elevation difference between volcano and the city.

Thank you !

Have you ever considered the fact that your people antisemitism and they taking part against Israel is the main cause of what is happening to you at this time? Maybe, it’s still time to repent and return to God. But it’s coming for sure because God is protecting his people and is punishing all the enemies of Jews and Israel.

There is an elf stone in the yard where it stopped!

I've been extremely concerned about the lava barriers, so I'm glad to see that they worked out beautifully, also I really enjoy your reports, 👍👍

I truly hope Grindavik can be saved, but I fear the reality may not be what we want 🥹. Thank you so much for these videos…..

Icelanders are a different breed, I don't believe I have seen people building walls against the lava at other eruptions.

I drove by grindavik in February (the northern road to the blue lagoon was blocked). I enjoyed to see the southern reykjanes peninsula, and the empty town was sad. But the roads we drove on now are under rock ... :/

Thank You Gylfi, magnificent footage of the besieged town. Take care!! With kind Regards and Best wishes from NZ.

It’s so beautiful but so destructive. The people of the town have had their lives torn upside down by the eruptions. I’m just glad nobody has been seriously hurt.

❤

What incredible and moving video. Your music, the slow panning… I am moved to tears for the town and its people, yet just astonished at those lava defense walls holding their own against the black lava flows. And the bubbling fountains of magma erupting in the distance. It’s beautiful and profound, this balance we have with the forces of the natural world. Amazing you had such clear weather to fly!

Wow - I had no idea of the scale of the spatter cone until this video. Thank you!!!

That little berm will slow the lava for several seconds. Maybe 90 seconds.

Svartsengi is subsiding....so far, so good.

The views I hoped to be able to see after this eruption, didn't come until you arrived at the scene. Deeply impressed and a good feeling of having become properly informed. Thank you Gylfi.

The Icelandic people are resilient. They take it in stride.

It means that there were 7 eruptions before this one....

Great Real Estate 'shot' as the other Icelandic video's talk about a lot but do Not actually Show the 'extent of the lava-flow' and where it is!

It is difficult to take in the scale of what has happened in such a short time.

Wow! We were in Iceland a month ago, and unfortunately did not get to Grindavik as the road was closed. What a great spirit they have

Thank you Gylfi. What a great job the tarmackers did on keeping the town safe. My first job after leaving school was with my father who was a tarmacker and one of many Irish immigrants who helped Britain rebuild its roads and cities after the destruction from WW2. Here’s hoping the people of Grindavik get to return to their beloved town. I’ve been there once and found the place very down to earth with warm people. Had a lovely lunch in a cafe run by two brothers and their mother, very welcome in the midst of a cold day. I love Iceland and you’re a great representative for your country. 🇮🇸🇮🇪🇬🇧

This intro video shows the real dimensions - wow ❤

It's crazy, I was there a year ago.

Life changed there forever. Reminded me of what happened in Centralia, Pennsylvania.

So sad.

Myndböndin þín, kæri Gylfi, gefa fullkomna hugmynd um hvað er að gerast! Þú ert örugglega besti heimildarmaður á Íslandi! Og ást þín á landi þínu er augljós á hverri stundu! Það er svo sorglega spennandi að sjá allt hraunið í kringum Grindavík! Þjóðarhetjur eru fólkið sem byggði verndarmúrana! Eldurinn sem blasir við þar fær mann til að átta sig fullkomlega á hvað þetta þýðir fyrir fólkið sem bjó í Grindavík! Þau eru öll í hjarta mínu, eins og það væri landið mitt! Knús til þín, vertu alltaf öruggur á meðan þú vinnur að myndböndum.

Your videos, dear Gylfi, give a perfect idea of ​​what is happening! You are definitely the best documentarian in Iceland! And your love for your land is evident in every moment! It's so sadly exciting to see all the lava around Grindavik! National heroes are the people who built the protective barriers! The fire looming up there makes you realize perfectly what all this means for the people who lived in Grindavìk! They are all in my heart, as if it were my country! Hugs to you, always stay safe while working on videos.

Your video neatly shows how Grindavik is teetering on the brink (espescially the shots with the volcano in the background), those defenses really have made all the difference so far. Hopefully they will continue to hold. Luckily the eruptions so far have been far enough North. It is good to see a perspective that does not just focus on the spectacular but tells the more human side of the story.

This beautifully, and starkly, illustrates how dire Grindavik’s situation has been the entire time, and continues to be. Well done!

That is terrifyingly close to the town

Wow!

What does it mean? It means that, Eldvörp-Svartsengi has started erupting again for the first time in 800 years. It has a massive magma chamber. So is it going to continue to "safely" to little bleeds at a time or be a "bottle rocket" and blow all at once?

May God help Iceland! ♡

Thank you, Gylfi. 😣

I'm not sure if 'rescued' is the right word? I think the correct word should be 'preserved' (for history). I honestly do not foresee anyone living in that town again. Or at least, not within the next 5-10 years anyway.

Oh boy. Thank you, Gylfi. I'm keeping everything crossed...

Не зря дамбы дополнительные по бокам сделали, а то лава бы спокойно зашла в город😢

Thank you, such a moving video which shows the power of nature, human ability to control it in difficult circumstances, evidence of what can be achieved by a community in distress, and your amazing skills.

Oh so very poignant Glyfi 🥹 mixed feelings here. Happy that the infrastructure is so protected but where will it all lead to. Then I recall the Icelandic ‘spirit’ and somehow something positive will come out of it 🤞🙏❤️ thank you Glyfi 💙

This was a great angle of view. Rarely seen. Thank you!

They're not going to stop either RPS 111

Wow... No words needed, your beautiful footage says it all. Takk fyrir, Gylfi! Með bestu kveðju frá Frakklandi :)

🙏 "GOD" ALMIGHTY is with you ICELAND. Seek "SOLACE" from LORD. We are PRAYING for you ALL. HALLELUJAH AMEN.🏴 🙏🙏🙏 🇰🇪🇨🇦

On a side note, congrats on nearing 100K subscribers...

Gorgeous video ❤

Iceland is proactive in protecting their people, land and infrastructure unlike America. Loved Iceland.

Nice to see this view. It gives some real world perspective to the 2D maps of the lava flows.

Can someone please share the actual map of the eruption?
