The Aftermath Of The Grindavik Eruption! Eruption Still Going! Coast Guard Aerial Footage!Jan15,2024 

Great video..nice of the Coast Guard to share it. Thanks

You got that uploaded fast! I saw your helicopter circling over the burned out homes while watching a livestream on another channel. RU-vid makes the world seem so much smaller and connected in surprising ways sometimes.

4:56 whoever made this fence makes the best fence in all of Iceland.

Finally! Somebody with actual information and reportage. Thank you. EVERY news outlet I've checked on today has nothing but hype from yesterday.

💁‍♂️ It got to the roundabout and became confused like everyone else does. 😆

That house where the lava stopped at the fence has very good magic protection! 😎

Imagine your Town surviving a volcanic Eruption but YOUR House is the only one that burned down

Yeah. I mean, the fence didn't even catch fire 😮!!!!?

Thank you. Brilliant footage.

4:50 - Fence builder has played a blinder there! WOW.

Truly remarkable footage . Unbelievable stress for the people wondering if there town will ever be declared safe again and can start to repair the damage .

The berm seems to have done a great job holding back the lava flow from the northern end of the eruption.

They got soooooo lucky on this one, that it petered out with only 3 houses and some utilities lost... It isn't over, tho', from the sounds of it.

That is crazy seeing the building that was saved by the mad-made wall

I noticed the manhole cover is off at 4:40. I wonder if that was blown off by steam or removed by workers.

Great footage! Very helpful to see everything.

Thank you so much for your detailed information and amazing footage .

Gives one an idea of just how big Grindivik is

how on earth did that wooden picket fence at the green house not catch fire? wow!!!

Best, non-sensational coverage out there. Timely. Thank you. Prayers for those neighborhoods still affected.❤️❤️

Wow! Amazing footage and information, thank you. That one house at the lava's border must have titanium fencing installed! How did that not burn when lava flowed up against it?

It's such a fascinating thing. While the Icelandic people are extremely resilient and rational, I would personally find it hard to return to the town after this. If even the most experienced volcanologists and geologists didn't know the magma tunnel had extended that far there is very obviously an ongoing threat to the town and it's not yet possible to accurately map it. Everyone could return in a couple of months and then another unexpected fissure could open up under a dozen homes. I think there comes a time to accept defeat and move on from an inhospitable environment. I think this area of the country is going to be very active for a very long time, so I don't think it's feasible to consider returning to that town.

Thank you for this reporting and documentation. Thank you for all you are doing. The power of our planet is awe inspiring and here terrifying. Please be safe.

I flew out of Iceland the morning this happened. Prayers to all those affected

What the heck are they feeding that fence?

The earth wall they erected did a good job redirecting the lava from the 1st fissure despite it breaching it. All credit to the skill and knowledge of the icelandic people.

After a bushfire the green leaves eventually return, that black..stuff.. looks pretty damn permanent , it looked for a while as if it was a ghost town in the making. I hope not ...but as others have said" would you go back?" Respect from an ex firefiighter to the firefighters of Grindavik.

so the next fissure to open up will be right in town and the ocean.

If the trend of erupting more south each time continues for this volcano, next one will be directly in town or in the bay which will make harbor in Grindavik unusable. I hope I am wrong but I think this town is a total loss even though it was "lucky" so far and dodged the bullet in December with some bruises and got lightly grazed by one yesterday.

Great news i thought it would subside . Let's hope the next episode doesn't effect the town.. & there's a cessation of activity in the future 👋🇮🇸

Well this is a terrible thing to watch, it is also amazing to actually see how land masses were created. My condolences to the town of Grindavik.

That's the footage we've been waiting for. Hoping Grindavik can be safe to occupy again. Man, that black tide is like an evil force from a movie.

Excellent images thank you!

4:42 Imagine returning to your home and have to witness that everyday 😟

The wall held back a lot, but when it breaches on the town side you can’t do much. It’s awe-inspiring, and so sad for the locals. Kia kaha, arohanui o Aotearoa.

Good to see the greenhouse has survived as well. Let us hope that the town suffers no more volcanic action but sadly I fear that this fault line / fissure will continue to cause further damage. Especially as GPS readings still show uplift post eruption, something / magma seems still be on the move.

Thank you for sharing this good aerial footage.

I do wish people would stop calling it a tunnel. It’s a magma dyke or intrusion. Can we not educate people with basic terminology?

My Hart go out to the family of Grindavik our thought go out to them l feel so sad about what has happened we think of them every day june balfour 😢💔

The magma is not coming from somewhere else, it is just a continuation of the December eruption, it is magma that was in the dyke that had not erupted and was released as a result of adjustments due to tectonic stress being relieved. The magma rising under Svartsengi has not moved and will do its thing at some later time. THAT eruption/intrusion has not happened yet.

I have a feeling that the crack is gonna progressively crack open until it eventually just becomes a 20-mile long lava fountain. My guess is full flow reached by easter.

Praying for the people who lost their homes. Very sad. If this is the end of the vent just outside of the town. Maybe the rest of the town will be spared. But unfortunately it is not finished. They say the uplift is still going on. Perhaps the lava will stay underground and flow into the sea. Might lose some of the harbor, but that will be a small price compaired to the homes. I will pray thats how it will go. Still very sad.

Please ... this NOT a magma tunnel. It has no geometry of a tunnel. That way of describing the magma path is not scientific and it is WRONG! It is a magma intrusion as dyke (tabular or sheet geometry) along a pre-existing fracture/fault or created by the intrusion itself.

4:50 ,Zthe Lava was stopped by a garden fence😃

Seems likely that if you lie onto of a volcano , you'll likely get burned. No?

January and ZERO snow in "ICELAND"?

Thank you for the video and information 👍👍👍

I would much rather open my back door to a foot of snow than a foot of lava!

Thank you so much for this video,glad to see Grindavik still standing strong,sorry for the people who lost their home though ,we hope no more threats to the town !

Would you move back to Grindavik?

Wow, this eruption footage is insane! Mother Nature putting on a show.

From western Canadas , so wake to these images this morning ! After yesterday I expected so much worse. Of course this is slight consolation to all those who have lost so much, and others living in limbo. Nature has its own unstoppable pace, we literally have no choice but to “ go with the flow” 🙏🇨🇦

Thank you very much for your Information. And stay safe, please.

looks like most of the town is OK for now....

The lava defence wall saved the tomatoes.

It's easy to overlook the fact that we live on a wild planet.

What an awful way to start the new year.

Thanks for the footage❤❤❤❤

Thank you for this helicopter view on the eruption results!

I was waiting for this ! Thank you so much for the update and the information 'we the people' want to know. The text underneath is very clear. So much better than hectic swarming journalists doing their best to fill the time with many words, but have sparse information to offer. It is a disaster, but like in the slowest slowmotion and so dangerous. I try to imagine what it must be like if my house was there and I was obliged to pay the mortgage, when it's unsellable and at the same time I can't live there. But I see my house on the video, perfectly allright. It's a horrible limbo.

Excellent. Thank you!!

Such beautiful homes. Such a loss. Stay safe everyone there 🙏🏽 ❤️

the little fence that could

Why would people abandon their vehicles so close to the lava flow? Were they forced to evacuate?

I am not a volcanologist nor a geologist nor of any other scientific discipline, but when one looks at the evidence, the direction of the earthquake swarms, the direction of the fissure eruptions to date, the refilling of the magma chamber yet again, it would be quite plausible to suggest that the next one (Effusive Fissure Eruption) will happen directly in the middle of Grindavik, it is therefore I think, as heartbreaking as it is, as expensive as it maybe, best to dismantle Grindavik, let Mother Nature reclaim her territory and go elsewhere. Because soon enough there won't be a Grindavik, the earthquakes alone are tearing the town apart. Unfortunately though, Iceland's Government as impotent and profit driven as they are, probably won't see it like that! Until it's too late. I know how pessimistic all that sounds, but I think the first eruption was a warning, this latest eruption was MN tapping Grindavik on the shoulder, move!

Now it stop and next eruption? This Town is lost, because of its continoues danger in the Backyarden..Also the very high outcome of CO².

4.55 superb concept to build up defense fences.... think let's wait the next inspiration and unfortunatly ... expiration

Does anyone know the insurance situation for these people? For example, are the people whose homes burned down able to collect now `and relocate? And what of the other houses that are damaged, or even still undamaged in an untenable environment? Just wondering what insurance is like in Iceland, while realizing people might have different policy types, like some people have flood insurance in the US, while their neighbors might not...

It is hard for all people of Grindavik. When will it be safe to return? Will it ever be safe? Maybe a chance to start new... In my opinion this is a very boring town. Didn't see any trees, bushes or flowery gardens. All is flat and a lot of house look the same. Still it's a big loss if you lived there and now maybe you have to give it up.

If the lava damage doesn't go any further into Grindavik, that white building site on the corner will have an interesting backyard with a unique privacy fence. All those white packages, I'm sure, are building supplies; timber, siding, roofing, plumbing, electrical, doors, windows, the whole nine yards. I wonder if that site would be protected by homeowners insurance at that stage of development. I pray the owners good fortunes are due.

I don't understand why there are cars right next to the lava flow, next to the nearest still intact houses - are the people on site...???? Next time - and I am convinced there will be a next time - the lava will come up directly in Grindavik or in the water.

We have such an illusion of control. It only takes a moment and our lives can be turned upside down. I'm glad Jesus is my hope beyond what may happen to me here. :)

Me myself have not a good feeling.... remember me to the movie "Vulcano" and the lava was going on under the surface...

interesting how in the world this type of thing is going on closer to the poles ... while along the equator they are blowing away mass instead of adding it ... I see a pole shift due to weight happening some time in the near future ... . heck Texas is Colder than Nunavut and the later is only miles from the pole ...

I swear, the Islanders don't like green. There are no trees, the "gardens" are just grass and tarmac (gravel?). The scenery is so miserable, the lava ads a little spice to it

Tremendous lava management. Better it found a route under the town rather than through it, hopefully it finds a route straight to the ocean. Let’s hope it goes back to sleep for another long period.

Will this place become a ghost town now? Or will people eventually move back.

"ice" land

what terrible luck. they built the town right on the fissure. I mean it looks like it goes right through the center of town. how unlucky.

The white house @4:22 has been there the longest. The owner can actually be seen taking a picture of Google's StreetView car as it passed.

Nature reclaiming its dominance. Prayers for the people.

❤ Thank you...BLESSINGS TO ALL ❤

Did they record this on a VHS camcorder? Audio is trash the resolution looks terrible.

Drone footage is so much smoother.

And Scotty said, “She’s gonna blow Captain”.

So what are the hills in the background are they hills or the top of a volcano if they are hills why not flatten them and build on top

The tit for tat when the Student Comes to Punish God *Jesus in 2024.

The uprising could mean that new fissures might open in these areas...😢

Of course the lava tunnel is below Grindavik! On old photos you can see the rift from south to north where now are houses. Many decades ago some a-hole filled the rift and sold the ground on top as building plot.

I bet that house owner there close to the other two that were destroyed was glad that he had a fence around his yard. May not help in the long run but for now it made a difference.

So is that southern fissure right near the power plant? Or is that something else that looks industrial rather than residential?

Prayers for everyone 🙏🙏🙏🙏.

Just trying to reason… not being an insider AT ALL…… Seeing this extremely hot Lava erupt from the earth….. but ever so slowly…. Can Infrared images not predict these events??? It is not since too long that IR-camera’s are mounted on planes and helicopters… has anyone ever tried too predict Lava -eruptions detecting high temperatures BEFORE an eruption??? It doesn’t realy seem to appear all that fast???

4:52 how did the fence survive AND stopped the lava??!

what a dreadful place---not a single bloody tree

imma buy a fence like that Stops freaking lava

so the land is still swelling from magma intruding below?

2 cars parked in the driveway of a house just 10m from the lava flow which has either ceased moving or is moving at such a slow rate that it would not be dangerous to go in and remove the cars - II hope that overzealous "Health & Safety" stupidity is not preventing that

In unmittelbarer Nähe zur Lava stehen geparkte Autos.

Thanks god, so far not too bad!
