On the news on RÚV tonight (nov. 22nd.) they said, that the berm is around 6-8 m high and at one spot the lava stream is at the same height. They are now working to raise the berm (I guess close to the blue lagoon) about 3-4 m. Blue Lagoon released a statement, that they wanna open up again at the 29th of nov. Greetings from Vogar.
If the lava chamber to the south keeps uplifting and deflating....do you worry it could weaken that ground above it and it erupts further to the south?
amazing footage. You mentioned that the "steam" contains sulfur gasses, I guess SO2 and H2S. How much sulfuric acid is formed and how does it affect the drone?
Do we have an analysis of the components of the vapors? Have the vapors been similar or the same through the various eruptions and between the several eruptions?
Is it known how quickly the fractures in the rock propagate to the surface at the initiation of the fissure eruptions? IOW, when the magma chamber is pressurizing, is the fracture that eventually emerges at the surface as the eruptive fissure, forming over a period of days or weeks and gradually makes it's way to the surface, or does that all happen at once just before the eruption commences?
if hot water is moving inside the hot water pipe 2 meters under the flow, that should keep the pipe from over heating too much....what do you think?...
I wouldn't worry too much about buried water pipes: as long as heat flow through the ground to the pipes isn't too high, they can just bump up the flow rate to keep pipes at a safe temperature. 2m is likely the depth they calculated they needed to achieve this amount of insulation.
After seeing the rather fluid lava I would have expected the lava flow going far further than just the parking lots. But it seems it slowed down a lot.
What is interesting is that the Earth and the Moon are both approaching perigee in their orbits. Which increases tidal energy on the surface of Earth. Also of note is the difference between hi tide and low tide is over 500,000,000,000,000 tons of water repositioning itself on the surface of the Earth twice a day. Think that might have an effect on a magma vent?
Willsey Hypothesis 🌪️: Looking at the conic deflection and in particular the centre it’s worth considering that the lava is acting like a tornado 🌪️ in inverse thus you are looking at a extremely potent lava tornado vortex pushing towards and pouring lava but the crust is so brittle and layered it’s released to the side as if you jump on a tile in a puddle… upside down Good luck proving this 😂
Downvoted... If you're going to do a livestream - you make sure all of your system is running properly BEFORE you go live. It just makes you out as an amateur.
This is connecting someone in Iceland from Idaho USA…and the guy in Iceland is doing flight after flight with people so no time to do all the testing, etc. that you suggest. Sometimes this is live, on the fly, connection…I quite enjoy Dr. Willsey’s content. Maybe you could learn to go with the flow a bit!
The man's actual profession is Professor of Geology. Not "content creator." Which is why we are here. Also, learning to cope with minor flaws is a great skill to have in life. If this gave you such a hard time that you had to "downvote" and be snarky about it, then consider it a good practice session. *edited for typos

I am very amateur at livestreaming and creating content on RUclips. However, I am a professional geologist. Learning as I go. Thanks for your patience.
WOW! Amazing and so interesting. Thanks Shawn, Johann and Amanda-Jo. Thanks also to Lisa and Susan.
Thanks, Shawn, for the flight and info.
So, so, so, so cool. As a student of vulcanology, thank you for what all of you have contributed!
You study Vulcans? 😂
This coverage is fantastic! The drone footage is spectacular. Thanks Shawn!
This gives me a picture of what Tolkien is descibing about the land of Mordor. Thank you!
I think about the marshes around Mordor too....the dead under the water staring...brrrrr..
Thanks for the drone flight, Captain Willsey!
Thanks Shawn and great to see Amanda Jo. Johan is generous to the community.

Thanks Johann 👍
Watching in Wisconsin, USA. Thank you all for making this amazing drone footage and commentary available!
How cool was this! Shawn definitely gives better narrative when he’s not worried that he’s going to fly the drone into a mountain himself 🤣❤️
Totally agree!
Brilliant view.
Thanks for the update! And the drone flight :) btw, your audio is very echo-y, as if you have 2 microphones enabled.
Morning Professor Willsey!
I’m worried about the future of the plant and the lagoon!
There is a named storm storm bert heading for Scotland and nth probably including Iceland. Winds were strong from north now going SSE.
This footage seems so valuable for scientific knowledge. I would love to see altitude and temperature data streamed along with the camera views.
Brand spankin' new earth...fresh out of Mother Nature's bake oven...awesome!
Good morning from Santa Rosa, CA -- Jack
Amazing to see. Thank you.
Thanks Shawn.
Your voice fades out when you look to your left. Thank you for the great content on the Iceland volcanic activity.
Aloha from Makaha.....

Happy Thanksgiving Shawn, family and any USA people on this. Enjoy!
Is Ísland, this happens, amusing the analysis from 5000 km remote.

Wonderful
Strange the last two times I haven't gotten notified that there's a live

you might reset your modem...that might help with your internet connection....

QUESTION: Might be a dumb question but can magma siphon in a system like water can?
Are those vapors very corrosive to the drone or other man made materials?
Forgive me but I'm thinking we need a new channel called "Willsey does Tech", which would be full of drama and tension. 😂❤
How does the current viscosity/flow speed compare to previous eruptions?
Someone said it was super fluid which means higher viscosity? Correct? Or lower viscosity? I always get that confused
Data on magma movements and how they might affect duration of eruption
After seeing the rather fluid lava I would have expected the lava flow going far further than just the parking lots. But it seems it slowed down a lot.
I’d stop all the screens from streaming at the bottom of the screen.
onnection good now

From what I know about the physics of the world, I’d say probably not. But take it with a grain of salt, I’m not an expert 😅
Your mouth speaks and then I hear your voice a second later.

There are no videos on your channel which show how you are doing it.
Are you an amateur yourself?
