If you're on the east coast and head through Georgia, try to run out and see Stone Mountain, and if possible go up to the TN/GA border and visit Lookout Mountain. Some good geology to see there...
Hey Shawn, I sent an email to your work. I have footage from a June10th helicopter flyover as one of those foreign tourists you mentioned. I’m happy to share it with you. Thx!
3:28 one thing you didn’t mention about the flow is that a little bit of lava actually overtopped the berm and fell into the power plant/geothermal area behind it. And there is an interesting collapse pit that developed behind where this occurred.
@AvanaVana Did you mean at 7:28? If so that is ‘the elephant in the room’ we might say. I don’t think there is a berm there at all. Is that collapse pit on another photo or video because that area is too distant to see anything like that in this photo?
Mic and Vic appreciate everything you do for your viewers! We are a retired couple who enjoy watching your updates. We started watching January eruption when the rift opened up while you we're talking using the drone, and I said hey look a rift is opening up, and Shawn said, look I think a rift is opening up 😂.... June 12th 7:30 am thank your wife and the kids we hope you have a good time on the East Coast!❤
Thanks for the update, Shawn. It's so interesting to see how the landscape is constantly changing. I can only imagine how hard it must be for the people to adapt to the constantly evolving situation. They are doing a stirling job. Thanks again.
Hi Shawn! I follow everything you share on RUclips, and I am so thankful for the knowledge you share. Geology, volcanos and ice is my freetime passion and thanks to you it has been easy for me to onboard this wonderful area of science, and make me confident that I can read and understand semi-complex publications. Thank you so much!
Thank you for the update, Shawn, it's very appreciated. Something of interest: The June 2024 issue of Smithsonian magazine has an article about scientists exploring the lava tubes of Fagradalsfjall, wearing protective gear of course, and finding metastable minerals and at one point a wall that was still glowing red with a temperature reading of nearly 600°C!
Thanks for the update. I hope your family did not mind you taking some time out of your family vacation to prepare and record the update. It is amazing to see how quickly they were able to build new roads over the May 29 lava flows west of Grindavik, but I guess the flows were thinner at that location. The June flow across the road north of the Svartsengi power plant and Blue Lagoon is much thicker, as you mentioned.
Just got back from Iceland yesterday and glad I missed the volcanic gas pollution over the capital. Great videos and certainly learning a lot about how earth works! Thank you.
Thank you Shawn for updating yourself... and updating us at the same time! ;) I'm looking forward to your next video from Iceland! Another Random Roadcut, maybe...? Take care and enjoy the rest of your family vacation :)
Love that 360* degree pic, it gives a great perspective of all the flows. Those berms have certainly proved their worth. But I wonder how much more they can take! Never ceases to amaze me how quickly that road gets repaired 🤨
Hey, just wanna say that if you might feel pressured to upload at a certain speed, please don't. We love your videos either way and if you wait, we just have more data to go though. So lots of love and have a great holiday ❤❤
Thanks shawn. And many thanks for making some videos for us while in iceland. The roadside cuts are most interesting, both in iceland and in the states. Have you visited strombli volcano in italy? That is one awesome place to see volcanic formations and reading of last lava flows as well as experiencing small eruptions.
Thank you for the early morning update! Much Appreciated! I was wondering if anyone has done a flow comparison between the start of this eruption and the last? With the first deflation trend after the start of an eruption I'm wondering if the flow was the same, more or less then at the start of the last.
At 14:16 it shows the cost of a helicopter ride to the eruption in ISK but for those of us using USD it equals about $416.46 if you are interested. That is about 35 minutes.
The gas accumulated in my valley last night and I work up feeling miserable with a bad headache. All the mountains were shrouded in blue haze. Missed work as a result (though there may have been other factors at play as well, e.g. digestive).
Shawn. I'm from Florida and just took a Helo tour over the volcano last Thursday(6th)and was phenomenal. Have videos to share and pics.....might put a link up here if allowed?
The South pond is not stagnant but drained by 3 lava tubes. One at the end of the pond draining to the South and 2 in each of the front corners of the little bay extending to the West. The left corner one goes first to the West then turns South and the tube in the right corner drains directly to the South.
Hi Shawn. Thanks for the updates. Excellent information as always. I would be curious to know more about the fluid dynamics of the lava flows over time. Lava does not always seem to flow like water over lighter slopes as well as the raised lava ponds. Cheers Jim
1) excellent work. I always walk away having learned something. 2)When showing various features, such as the mentioned spatter cone, could you please more often give us an approximate dimension of its height. With pictures, the directions. North, East, South, West, etc.?
Any chance you could do a bit on the lava chemical composition over time for the recent eruptions, compared with earlier years? Some of us lurking geologists are geochem geeks as well!
Shawn! Will you shut that damn laptop and take the children to the beach! We are supposed to be on holiday! (I can hear Mrs Willsey yelling at you from here)
I was a geology student. All we'll do is measure the beach profiles and calculate erosion rates. BECAUSE THAT IS A FUN DAY ON THE BEACH!!!! 🏖😎 "Look kids! Foraminifera!!!"
Shawn just took a break from a vacation on the east coast to give this report because that is what he does and badger is going on about Shawn not taking enough time with his family!?!? 🙄
@@michaeldeierhoi4096 A break from a vacation? Now that's what I call a proper vacation! Michael it sounds like you could do with one as well so you can relax and give your sense of humour a chance to come back.
You probably already have your current vacation activities planned, but the next time you’re in Georgia, I’d like to recommend a day trip to the Reed Gold Mine State Park in North Carolina (a little north of Charlotte). The first “gold rush” in what is now the US started in the 1820s there with placer operations before someone figured out what to look for in the rocks. I think the Reed Mine may have actually been the first underground gold mine in the area. It’s been a long time since I last visited it, but then the museum was excellent, with a large collection of mining equipment. At that time, they did guided tours of the site that included part of the underground tunnels and a working 10 stamp stamp mill that they’d turn on so that the visitors could see (and hear and feel!) how the ore was processed.
Or go visit Dahlonega where there was also a gold rush - they were finding so much gold up there the US government built a mint in the town. There are some small tourist-targeted mines up there. The Dahlonega Gold Belt is a big geological region in Georgia, it stretches down to north and west of Atlanta over to the Alabama border. There's even a retired gold mine/museum you can visit over in Villa Rica...
@@nothanks3236 Hi! Thanks for mentioning Dahlonega! I’d tried to edit the message when I realized that I’d forgotten to mention that area, as well as the Charlotte Mint, but I must have forgotten to click the send arrow or something! Glad you caught that! I’m not aware of any historical sites related to gold mining in either SC or Al, although both were also once active gold mining areas. I think that there was at least one SC mine still active into the late 1900’s, but I don’t know what the current status is.
@@nancyj.9719 I guess I'm not allowed to respond anymore, RUclips vaporized my second response to you. And then they wonder why I'll never stop using adblocker.
A pool that has a continuous inflow is not stagnant. It may appear to be stable in surface area from a particular viewpoint but logic tells us it has an outflow. Gllfi's latest drone glimpse shows a significant outflow to the south. Two lava streams are active one from each side of the active cone.
Hey Shawn. I had a conversation a while ago during the Geldingadalur eruption where I discussed a mantle wave that would circle the earth, akin to a tidal influence without the basin borders creating a half-day cycle. The theory found no safe harbour. However, it seems to me that the periodocity of this eruption falls into a clear day cycle of activity. Would this point support or deny my theory of a mantle wave? Would there be a way to detect a lunar component, likely around a 2% variability within the daily surge cycle, by matching the orbital position of the Moon over the duration of the eruption?
@@Linandemma It certainly wasn't covered in my Geology courses. It just feels like a logical deduction given the plasticity of the mantle and the daily tidal tug. I wasn't even going to claim the sun-influenced wave, that seems completely unlikely it wasn't 'discovered' before. I was going to stick my name on a lunar wave, if I managed to pull meaningful information from the data. 2% roughly matches the lunar influence detected in the 'tidal bulge' associated with the deformation of the globe during it's rotation, an actual rise in local altitude of about 50 ft, if I recall correctly. I could locate the study again if you like.
The problem is that the pressure feeding the eruption is almost entirely due to dissolved gas trying to escape and the flow controlled by dynamic changes to the complex plumbing system. It's far more complex than a simple fluid like water moving through pipes or rising and falling in the ocean. You have a material that goes from liquid to solid in a continuum without a distinct phase boundary and this material is what makes up both the fluid and the pipes it is flowing through. Any tidal component is going to be negligible compared to the myriad of other factors.
Question Shawn, since there is uplift and lava coming out here does this mean that somewhere on earth there is some land going down in a subduction zone.
Hello. If the reservoir of the magma gets empty in many years, the one under the Blue Lagoon, Could it collapse, fall in? The way it happened in The Kilowea Crater?
This cone is at the location of the last erupting cone from the March 16 eruption. The fissure bisected that cone and new one formed from the remaining active vent of the recent May 29 eruption.
I have watched and reviewed a documentary on the volcanoes of Iceland, Fire and ICE literally. And the glaciers act like a giant weight on a cork of a wine bottle. I have also learned that there is one volcano responsible for an entire weather global change. I have learned that that Iceland is growing as well.
Why does the uplift data look like the ground never deflated back to the original level since the beginning of these eruptive events? Does this mean the land is actually permantly deformed or is there a large amount of magma still within the chambers feeding the eruptions which will not allow the ground to return to the original height"
Can you turn the electric power plug of one of your devices around by 180 degrees (European power plugs allow for that)? It sounds like you created a hum loop.
The pollution from gases over population centers is alarming. I feel especially bad for folks with asthma, children and the elders. ❓Are there any reports of a harmful impact on the animal life? ❓Do birds realize they should fly away❓Do Icelandic homes or large building complexes have filtered HVAC systems? I can imagine the air quality before the eruptions was excellent, so perhaps they haven’t needed air conditioning or filtered air systems. Sorry to besiege you with questions. That’s a sign, however, of how thought-provoking your videos are, Shawn. Thank you for being an island of intelligence amidst the choppy waters of sensationalism. ❤
If there are official reports of impact to pets, livestock, etc. during this set of eruptions, I have not, as yet, seem them. We did evacuate our livestock and pets from Grindavík in November due to the dangers on the ground from the earthquakes. Subsequently, it was stated animals should not be let back into the town after the eruptions started to do pollution as well as the risk of not being able to get them out again if needed should things go badly with the lava flows. Of course, some did not follow this advice and took livestock and pets back. They were then taken out of the town again at different times. As for the birds, we see have seen them on the webcams frequently so it would be safe to say they don't fly away from the gasses. When ash clouds are involved, i.e. 2010 Eyjafjallajökull eruption, birds could be seen, indicating they don't necessarily fly away from ash clouds either. A quick research dive did not return any scientific studies regarding bird behaviour around volcanoes. I would need to spend more time looking to see if anything is out there. Air conditioning is not really a thing in Icelandic homes. Yes, there are some that have it but for the majority of homes, it is not used. The same applies for businesses. HVAC systems are not common either. We often open our windows, even in winter, to refresh the air in our homes. They are called storm latches. It means we can have fresh air even with rain and snow falling, all without letting the precipitation in (unless the wind is blowing it, in which case we close them). Also, the cats love them. Easy in-out access without the need for cat flaps. We just close the windows when air quality is bad. Often we get notice in the news to do this, as well as to stay indoors during these times if in a risk group for polluted air. Overall air quality in Iceland is good. We do get pollution in the capital area from so many cars in a dense space if there is no wind. This is especially noticeable in winter on calm days as the studded tires throw up particulates and NOx can then build up, making smog noticeable. Hope this helps answer your questions. 😊
Mandie Jo, thank you for your substantial reply! I’m an animal lover like you are, so I appreciate that you’ve taken the time to inform us of what’s happening.
Hey Shawn, thanks for the update. I have a question, not sure if it's been asked before,, but how many datapoints do you need for something to be a trend and not an outlier?
You need as many as possible. When I was working in stats, we always said 20 minimum but as many as possible. If you can draw a trend line straight, without too much variation either side, then you have a trend. There's also a thing called correlation coefficients but I won't bore you with that😊
@@Linandemmabore away! Correlation coefficients is a term I see regularly during severe weather season. And while I can read that particular radar map, I have no idea what it means. 😊

As for the birds, we see have seen them on the webcams frequently so it would be safe to say they don't fly away from the gasses. When ash clouds are involved, i.e. 2010 Eyjafjallajökull eruption, birds could be seen, indicating they don't necessarily fly away from ash clouds either. A quick research dive did not return any scientific studies regarding bird behaviour around volcanoes. I would need to spend more time looking to see if anything is out there.
Air conditioning is not really a thing in Icelandic homes. Yes, there are some that have it but for the majority of homes, it is not used. The same applies for businesses. HVAC systems are not common either.
We often open our windows, even in winter, to refresh the air in our homes. They are called storm latches. It means we can have fresh air even with rain and snow falling, all without letting the precipitation in (unless the wind is blowing it, in which case we close them). Also, the cats love them. Easy in-out access without the need for cat flaps.
We just close the windows when air quality is bad. Often we get notice in the news to do this, as well as to stay indoors during these times if in a risk group for polluted air.
Overall air quality in Iceland is good. We do get pollution in the capital area from so many cars in a dense space if there is no wind. This is especially noticeable in winter on calm days as the studded tires throw up particulates and NOx can then build up, making smog noticeable.
Hope this helps answer your questions. 😊
Mandie Jo, thank you for your substantial reply! I’m an animal lover like you are, so I appreciate that you’ve taken the time to inform us of what’s happening.
@@user-wk1mw9nj3i76 You're welcome. Glad I am able to answer so many questions for everyone.
Hey Shawn, thanks for the update. I have a question, not sure if it's been asked before,, but how many datapoints do you need for something to be a trend and not an outlier?
You need as many as possible. When I was working in stats, we always said 20 minimum but as many as possible. If you can draw a trend line straight, without too much variation either side, then you have a trend. There's also a thing called correlation coefficients but I won't bore you with that😊
@@Linandemma Ah that many? Thank you for explaining
@@Linandemmabore away! Correlation coefficients is a term I see regularly during severe weather season. And while I can read that particular radar map, I have no idea what it means. 😊
Shawn...while AT THE BEACH, take note of what great swimmers rocks are...they can hold their breath seemingly forever...
Give it one more week of data to see if the uplift will continue
