Thank you Gylfi, construction crews, reporters, and emergency workers. This is a continuing demonstration of engineering ingenuity and perseverance. We viewers appreciate your focus on what the people are doing to protect the power plant, blue lagoon, and infrastructure. Thanks again for your excellent coverage.
I just flew home from Iceland lastnight, I saw the glow of the Volcano from Helgafell whilst chasing the Aurora, Sky Lagoon, and on the way to the airport at Keflavik. I love Iceland, such a beautiful country with amazing people, all good wishes to them and all the people working hard to keep the power plant and the blue lagoon safe from the lava...I am looking forward to coming back to Wonderful Iceland 💚
These workers are certainly committed to their jobs. It must not be an easy task, and as we say in England, I take my hat off to them. They are the hero's of the peninsula by far. I hope they all stay safe, and thanks for the update Gulfi. 🏴🇮🇸🇬🇧
Reminds me of the Māori people of Whakarewarewa village in the Rotorua area of New Zealand. They used to put baskets of food into the natural hot springs to cook. Not sure if it's still done there
@@sciangear4782 yes, that's a great idea when the conditions are safe and don't change. I think that I have seen a video of the same hot spring cooking in Iceland, it was somewhere on a beach as I remember. Clever people use what's available - no matter where they live. That's great.
Great news about Blue Lagoon and the Powerplant! I'm continually impressed with the Icelandic people's inventiveness, flexibility, and engineering prowess.
This is legendary engineering defense from lava - well done engineers and construction crews! And thank you Gylfi for the amazing footage and your narration update.
That statement made me wonder how interesting it would be to time machine some ancient people forward to witnesses how modern man can have so much control over nature. Good luck to the Icelanders.
These guys have been doing this since at least the early 1970s. I remember a National Geographic showing pictures and telling the story about how they saved (most) of a town pumping straight outta the ocean. Amazing stuff!! Good job, guys!! We have tornadoes, and you have lava. Never easy, but we all survive.
And we just had our bomb cyclone…. It kinda sucked. For lots of people. Trees down, some in houses, power lines down…. Lots of people with no power….and no cell…. Does make you appreciate it though when it finally comes back !!!
The can-do attitude of the Icelanders is very admirable. I worked closely with them for a year in the 90s when stationed there with the Air Force and was always impressed with their ingenuity and calm in the face of tricky situations. Had no fear flying all over the island with their pilots.
Absolutely amazing people in Iceland. Thanks Gylfi, for your awesome videos and commentaries with them. I can just imagine how incredibly hard all those guys are working. Strong, positive thoughts and vibes for everyone there. ❤❤
English is not my mother tongue. So I do not have enough and appropriate words to express how impressed and amazed and mesmerised I am by the Icelandic resiliance and tenacity. You are a true inspiration of a nation! Greetings from 🇿🇦. 1:31
Iceland certainly is not for the faint of heart,what brave ingenious people to survive any of this situations ,I am stunned by this amazing workers,blessed they are ! Thank you so much for this update and safe travels Gylfi !
It is amazing what Icelandic people can do to manage lava flows. I hope they keep being successful at protecting vital infrastructure, especially now that winter is coming 😊
Oh such good news !! Praise for those workers !! 😊 Thank them for us out here along with you people of Iceland !! We appreciate them !! Thank You for the update !! Such good news !! So happy for your Country !!
This sounded like an action movie pitch but it was very real for the citizens of Iceland who know what it takes to inhabit a nearly arctic island situated on top of a continental margin hot spot.
When this eruption series ends, someone should cut a documentary named Saving Svartsengi and Grindavik that also includes interviews with decision makers as well as ground workers.
Great work again from the hard working people with the heavy machinery and the heavy pumps 👍😁. Iceland will be the top expert on the topic of lava management for years to come.
Thank you Gilfy. I agree the men working on this are heroes. It’s amazing to see the huge hoses they use to bring the ‘water’ from the lagoon to cool the hot lava. Yes this was a more dangerous yet fascinating thing the crew experienced than we’d find on Netflix. Best to you Gilfy.
Thank you for the update! The "Lava Laborers" are the heroes of the week!! I am truly amazed at the engineering capabilities of the Icelandic peoples! Bravo!!!
Thanks for another new video. It's great to see how the people figure out how to do good work with problems that are complex and different and big and dangerous and constantly needing the adaptability and cooperation and skill of the people doing it all!
I am continually impressed with what these workers are capable of accomplishing in such a short amount of time. A good example to the rest of the world. Thank you for your informative and interesting updates ~ they are much appreciated!
Thank you for the updates. Not one News Station in the USA is covering this and I find it very interesting. You are like a News Reporter with he updates.
Thank you so much for your informative and entertaining coverage!! You are a delight. Prayers for those who have been so affected by this latest event. What a resilient people! Those who fight the lava flow are the best of the best. Like our forest firefighters here in the U.S., they are heroic in dedication and heart.
I get nervous when I see the earthmovers sitting on top of a narrow berm. Setting up the huge hoses and pumps over lava is also impressive. The men working on this have my respect.
He is right, lava cooled down with ice or water becomes crispy, even turning into vulcanic glass, the Icelanders have plenty of experience with water cannons and the effect on lava.
Man against nature struggle! Iceland is an inspiration. And what a wonderful opportunity for scientists all over the world to literally see, monitor and record the growth of mother earth
Thanks for the update! 🤔 I also thought about long time ago that water cooling of the lava streams could work to save special areas in danger. Great work of all firefighters there! 👍🏻
Wow, that's just amazing. And no one else has told us that. Many thanks to you - and many thanks to all the people working there, you are doing an amazing job!
@@I.amthatrealJuanMaybe Icelanders could sen over some huldufólk ( hidden people/ similar to elves but beautiful like fairies and live in the cliffs) to talk to Pele to say everything is okay ❤
It seems that those with RUclips channels who are not in Iceland are the only ones making a big fuss of this. Icelanders are fully aware that they are living on top of some very mobile ground and have done for hundreds of years. No panic. Why panic? The lava will do what the lava will do and, if possible, some of it can be persuaded to go elsewhere or become part of a defensive wall. Geology does what it does while we float around on top 😊
Good morning Gylfi from Scotland. Your broadcasts are always so interesting, truthful and not full of hype. What an amazing effort the engineers are making. I am shocked but not really surprised that tourists are dumping rubbish in the Lagoon. We have a similar problem here.One of my friends went to Iceland this year, and another is going in January from Australia. Maybe one day for me. Kindest regards to you and all I Icelandic people.......❤.
You’re hilarious Gylfie. I love your audio. But the bonus is that there’s so much great information mixed in there. I’ll be first in line to the bakery. Volcanic bread has to be the best.
I remember hearing some geologists saying water has no use and that it was coincidence that it worked for Iceland in the past and that lava would have stopped anyways. I think it is pretty clear now that it has an effect and I think more countries should learn from your experience.
They definitely have ensured that Greenland is safe! Although I don't think the eruption is fierce enough to cross all that water. Love both islands, one for the spicy volcanoes and hotspots, the other for its majestic glaciers and indigenous culture. Fire and Ice!
We were there in August (I think). My wife was at the Blue Lagoon the day before the last time it was threatened, and when the tourists got trapped in the ice cave. We were on the Viking Star by then, heading for Greenland and New York. It's an amazing country you have, and we live in another amazing country, New Zealand, so we feel qualified to judge.
Thanks for the update Gylfi. I don't have Netflix, I prefer to watch Just Icelandic and other video's on You tube. Best regards and best wishes from NZ.
I'm very glad that it seems that the Blue Lagoon and powerplant have been saved one more time. Looking at this from the U.S., you wonder why such a fuss is being made over one tourist attraction/hotel and one power plant, but in the context of a small country with around 400K people, the power plant and hotel/lagoon are huge investments.
We were just there in October and have never met such nice, warm, welcoming people. They are truly the experts in lava management!! Thanks for the updates 😁
Thank goodness it has worked to slow the flow down long enough to be able to heighten the berm. Kudos to the construction crews and engineers. A job well done in extreme conditions.
The way Icelandic People manage these recurring situations is just incredible... These men are heroes ! Respect and gratitude. Thank you Gilfy for your updates.

Thanks for a good summary without all the filler that others put in their videos. Thank you Gylfi - you are wonderful Stay safe,
Thank you so much!
Whoever came up with this idea, very clever! Thanks for showing us.
You are so welcome!

Love your informative commentary, with its touch of sardonic humour. Interesting, thank you.
My pleasure!
naughty tourists 🤣
I am constantly amazed by the people of Iceland, their spirit, and ingenuity. Thank you for keeping the world informed.
The ever-growing knowledge base of Icelanders in living with volcanism deserves 100% respect and gratitude.
Love your bakery idea Gylfi! Blessings to all!
Many thanks :)
Clam bake! BBQ! 😂🎉

We have tornadoes, and you have lava. Never easy, but we all survive.
1973 was the year and they did it to save the harbour, because no harbour no town. Ok maybe they saved the town too. :D
I remember that issue. The photos were so vivid
You can go to Heimaey and see for yourself how they saved the harbor. In fact, the lava flow and diversion actually improved the harbor
I will say at least the lava adds to the land. Tornadoes just take. I hate Tornadoes, they suck. Literally
And we just had our bomb cyclone…. It kinda sucked. For lots of people. Trees down, some in houses, power lines down…. Lots of people with no power….and no cell…. Does make you appreciate it though when it finally comes back !!!

That would have been an unforgettable experience. Lucky you. 🇨🇦
So "lava cooling manager" is now a job in Iceland.
there's even a word for it, hraunkælingastjóri

Yes this is really something :)
I know those men know what they are doing...but as an onlooker I have to say, that'd scare the hell outta me. Thanks for the update...God bless...
Thanks for the update. It amazes me how quickly they find solutions for these problems. Hope everyone stays safe.

Just comes with the territory :)
I am so glad the blue Lagoon stepped up to help save itself and the power station. 😁
When this eruption series ends, someone should cut a documentary named Saving Svartsengi and Grindavik that also includes interviews with decision makers as well as ground workers.
Thanks as always for these updates Gylfi.
My pleasure!
Fantastic ingenuity!! Stay safe and I’m cheering you all on as history is made and disaster averted.
Thank you again for an awesome update , Well done to the most amazing construction workers !!!
Takk Gylfi. These men (any women helping) are national heroes and all deserve a handsome reward for their efforts.
I agree :)
They are probably being paid well, with tons of overtime.
@@Tugela60 Let's hope so💰💰💰
Everyone else: Run away from the lava! Icelanders: I think we can just build this wall a little higher....
We need this kind of attitude here in the north :) it would be hard to live here without it :)
Bet good remark! 🤭
'All that the tourists left behind' that had me laughing each time it was said.
Those workers have done so much this last year
Yes wow....this is no ordinary work...
The construction crews are hardcore! 🦾Excellent footage, Gylfi. Thank you!
The lava dudes :)the best
Thanks Gylfi for explaining how the crews are able to turn the lava flow into berms. I love how the blue lagoon is saving itself! Take care. ❤ Liz
I like your words- how the Blue Lagoon is saving itself ( by using this advanced technique). Iceland has developed some amazing technology.
Thanks Gylfi for the up date. ❤
Welcome :)
Great work again from the hard working people with the heavy machinery and the heavy pumps 👍😁. Iceland will be the top expert on the topic of lava management for years to come.
They are getting very resourceful gylfi thankyou for your update ❤ from the Uk 🇬🇧 to Iceland 🇮🇸
Many thanks :)
So crazy and magnificent people handling this extreme danger. TY for this positive update.
Welcome :)
Awesome. So glad the strategy worked. Its a joy to watch. Human resourcefulness at its best.
Glad to hear the volcano is finally powering down & congratulations to the defence worker ❤
It's only this eruption that is powering down. It will likely be back again in a few months. Possibly erupting on and off for the next century or so.
Thank you Gilfy. I agree the men working on this are heroes. It’s amazing to see the huge hoses they use to bring the ‘water’ from the lagoon to cool the hot lava. Yes this was a more dangerous yet fascinating thing the crew experienced than we’d find on Netflix. Best to you Gilfy.
Those workers deserve awards for all they do. Hope it continues to help control the lava. 😮😊
I agree!
Thank you for the update! The "Lava Laborers" are the heroes of the week!! I am truly amazed at the engineering capabilities of the Icelandic peoples! Bravo!!!
Just wow! Such an amazing job those workers just did. Thank you for reporting on this Gylfi!
Thanks for another new video. It's great to see how the people figure out how to do good work with problems that are complex and different and big and dangerous and constantly needing the adaptability and cooperation and skill of the people doing it all!
Lava: "Not Blue Lagoon water!"
Blue Lagoon water: "Take that lava."

My kind of place. You guys are not letting that volcano intimidate you, amazing!
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again - Icelanders are amazing!!!
So glad it’s only the nort crater still running. ♥️👍
Thank you for keeping us posted Gylfi - please stay safe sending regards
Crispy lava and a lava oven for baking 😂. Thank you for the positive and humorous update. Man winning…this time.
😁
@@JustIcelandic Have you considered Pizzeria? :D
@@udajsTo provide the hard working contractors with plenty of appropriate food .. and COFFEE for staying awake until all work is done

@@nanok2005 Oh, I know. It just sounds like it would be good eating 🫠. Usually crispy lava is a’a’.
Those guys are real heroes!
Congratulations to all the folks who risk their lives controlling the lava.

Lava baking - I love it!
Bread has be baked in lava geothermal areas for a long long time :)

It makes me want pizza. And cookies.
Does make you wonder if the lava guys are creatively warming up their lunches when they get their breaks....😋🍲🥧
Thanks for the update!
🤔 I also thought about long time ago that water cooling of the lava streams could work to save special areas in danger. Great work of all firefighters there! 👍🏻
Thankyou for the update, Ive learnt heaps from your videos over a long time.
Always welcome :)
Good news! 3 cheers for the Icelandic spirit!
He is so calm and quiet like he doesn't want to wake up the lava. Great densely packed info and explanation.
Thank you for your continuous updates! In Germany no more news after a first short article that 'it happens again'.
Welcome :)
Thank you so much for updates. We keep the town in prayers. God Bless you and keep you all safe in His care🙏🏾❤️
Thanks so much
Wow, that's just amazing.
And no one else has told us that.
Many thanks to you - and many thanks to all the people working there, you are doing an amazing job!
Thank you very much for this video and thank you to all the workers who go above and beyond to help in this situation.
Aloha hugs 🤗 from Hawaii Iceland are Volcano Fighters the best in the world 🌎
Aloha hugs to Hawaii from the north :)
I bet if that was done to Kilauea's lava flows many superstitious people there will complain that that is disrespecting Pele.
