Hello everybody!
It is now day 12 of the 5th eruption from the Svartsengi system on the Reykjanes peninsula in Iceland and it's showing no signs of slowing down.
Subsidence, which had been ongoing the first 5 days of the eruption, has stopped with GPS data suggesting uplift could be resuming.
On June 8th, a sudden outburst of lava occurred which flowed over Grindavík's main road as well as creeping over the barriers north of the power plant.

Thanks for the helpful update about the lava flow advance on June 8. Gylfi got some outstanding video that day of the new flow across the road, but he did not provide any details about the context.

@maxiculture 24 дня назад

The flow from lava pool 2 was in the form of a'a and could just be a result of the pool formation over the last week. As the input to the pool continues so may the flow. One interesting fact of this kind of rubble- like flow is that it moves slowly and deep with the steep front several metres high, marking it easier to override obstacles. Good luck.

About a month ago I was watching workers building secondary wall in Grindavik and had feeling that they were doing unnecessary work and they need to build bigger wall north of power plant, also I mentioned it in my comment then. The fissure what is erupting now is the same one what went absent for the whole night and then started erupting again. I think this is some kind of sign but I am unsure what it is.

@bbbb6066 24 дня назад

On June 26 my wife and I start our 8 visit to Iceland. We often will take 43 to Grindavik and then 427 to Rt.1 Will taking 41 to 42 then 42 to 427. We will start our 50 day tour of Iceland in Hverageroi. We have stay there most of the times we traveled to Iceland. Our first stop is the Almar Bakari. Thank you for the video and look forward to being back in Iceland. We always looked forward to seeing Grindavik. I hope and pray that the town survies.

@michaeldeierhoi4096 24 дня назад

Grindavik may be closed because the eruption is still ongoing. Of course you will find out more accurate information once you arrive.

@andrewhotston983 24 дня назад

With every eruption, the land surface around the fissure gets higher. Eventually it will not be feasible to build berms high enough to contain the lava. I hope the eruptions cease before that situation arises.

Yeah, the lava is becoming pretty thick

@Mike.Smth2112 24 дня назад

I wonder if all this has affected Geldingadalir. It’s been almost silent since all this stared near the blue lagoon area, not even one intrusion since the last eruption. Everyone has seemed to have forgotten about it even though it is capable of some serious lava output. It’s still crazy to me just how much lava was erupted there in 2021.

@Hliarmenn 24 дня назад

There's some speculation floating around that the magma involved in this event is the same as the one in the Geldingadalir eruption. So, that would mean, while the Svartsengi system is drawing all the magma, Geldingadalir/Fagradalsfjall can't erupt. I've speculated that the Fagradalsfjall system isn't done yet and another eruption could occur sometime this summer as the eruptions have occurred there 8-13 months apart since 2021 and we're in that window now.

@SusanC147 4 дня назад

Wouldn't that depend on how inter-related the two systems are? Some scientists see the system as one. If Fragradalsfjall does erupt, will that take the power away from Svartsengi system? Any likely scenario where they could erupt simultaneously?

@Duhble07 24 дня назад

Thx for your great maps and highlighting recent flow extents. As much as I’d like to be able to learn the geographical place names, they’re quite difficult, so I appreciate you don’t dwell on them. Perhaps if they are annotated on the maps? Thx again!

@Hliarmenn 24 дня назад

Ayyy, glad you like them. I'll definitely start adding more geographical names to the maps, sounds like a nice addition!

@General_Confusion 24 дня назад

Four square meters per second doesn't sound like very much, but you try moving it with a bucket.

@sigisoltau6073 24 дня назад

Square meters? That's area my guy, you mean cubic meters. That's a cube where each side, height, length and width is 1 meter. Square meter is a square where you only use lenght and width.

@williamlloyd3769 24 дня назад

And so the lava flows!

@hallo4135 22 дня назад

I think that in the next eruption, lava will be able to reach Grindavik faster and flow more easily over the protective walls. Because all deeper areas of land between the site of the eruptions and Grindavik have now been filled with lava, there are almost no reservoirs left that can collect lava.

@Hliarmenn 22 дня назад

Yeah, that's definitely worrying. Our construction workers will now be doing everything they can to upgrade the barriers while they have time

OMG I have missed listening to your awesome voice

@Hliarmenn 24 дня назад

Great to have you back😁

@sigisoltau6073 24 дня назад

Yeah I'd have to agree with the 4 to 5 cubic meters estimate. From Friday the 24th of May to Wednesday the 29th about 2 million cubic meters of magma went into the magma. That's from Friday morning to Wednesday so just a fraction above 5 days. So, the inflow is about 4 to 5 cubic meters per second. With uplift possibly starting again, slowly, it's possible that the output is just above inflow levels, barely. Depending on how long this eruption lasts, we could see another eruption either late June, early July, or sometime after that in September. How large it will be, don't know yet, depends on how much magma will be in the magma chamber at that time. If it's 20 million cubic meters or less it could be small(ish), smaller than the current one. However, if it's 20 million or more, then it will be bigger.

@Hliarmenn 23 дня назад

Crazy to think we could be in for another one. Let the waiting begin

@sigisoltau6073 23 дня назад

@@Hliarmenn So true. Two eruptions are in a way special to me personally. The first is the Litlihrutur eruption from July/August last year. My Yorkie, Roxie would come to my room and spend up to 30 minutes on my desk watching the eruption with me. She passed on October 17. The other is the February 8 eruption. That one happened exactly 1 day before our other Yorkie, Leo passed away, February 9.

Beautiful scenery, but often has little to do with current eruption, so a bit confusing at times!

@toady..9833 24 дня назад

Cheers for the update, i wonder if the magma chamber on this one will subside/collapse eventually. the ground has been lifted and dropped quite a bit so far

@Solidaritas1 24 дня назад

Eventually it probably will when the material cools enough and gets brittle, but that could easily take a a few centuries, partly depending on whether the chamber drains entirely or partially fossilizes instead (that is, some of the magma stays in the chamber and cools very slowly, supporting at least part of the pre-existing chamber over geological timescales).

@Seafariireland 23 дня назад

Interesting!

@susannell544 23 дня назад

@222dyan 24 дня назад

Thanks for the update. I read somewhere that the eruptions run in thousands of year cycles and some scientists are saying that it's about time for another long big eruption cycle. Have you heard or read this too? Stay safe I have ancestors from Iceland. Hope to visit someday. 😊🙏🇮🇸☮️🌎

@Hliarmenn 24 дня назад

Yep, the Reykjanes peninsula works in these eruptive cycles. The breaks last 800-1000 years while the eruptive periods last for 200-300 years. That means these eruptions are going to be occuring, every now and then, throughout our lifetime's. Not at this frequency, maybe at an average of 1 eruption every 5-10 years

@susannell544 23 дня назад

Of Course Day 8 had increase of 30 after the 4.5 on Reykjanes Ridge.

@TheSonic10160 24 дня назад

I think they might need to bury that hot water pipe, one disruption in the middle of winter was bad, but continual uncertainty is untenable

@Hliarmenn 24 дня назад

They've already done it, you think just like our experts! It's still not guaranteed that it'll be enough so further protection is being considered or atleast well planned "Plan B" if the pipes rupture.

@M_Ladd 23 дня назад

Great job! Thank you very much! Does the new lava keep going on top of the previous lava, or does it make its own path, or both?

@Hliarmenn 23 дня назад

Both! It's more common, however, for it to flow over previous lava as it with the current low output, it rarely reaches far enough to cover new areas.

@saywhat8966 24 дня назад

Is there a reason there is no mention of the lava that is now situated at the top of the road down to the power plant on Grindavikurvegur 43 above and south of the plant where no barriers exist that I can see? Is there a barrier that has not been highlighted by photos or is this ‘the elephant in the room’ no one wants to talk about?

@Hliarmenn 24 дня назад

There is a constructed barrier there as well as a natural one so the lava would have to climb pretty high to overflow there.

@michaeldeierhoi4096 24 дня назад

Solar flares or a big CME directed at the earth have no effect on volcanic activity. No one has ever proposed an evidence based mechanism by which that could take place.

@Hliarmenn 24 дня назад

Couldn't have said it better than Michael. They only noticeable thing caused by the solar flares in Iceland, atleast for is volcano watchers, was the interference with GPS stations which showed scuffed data during the storm.
