    Boy, you really milked this one for the drama. The shots you used are over 36 hours old (it doesn’t look like that anymore - down to 2-3 cones instead of a 4 km fissure), only one town nearby, and people have been in and out of it getting their pets and things and checking their houses prior to the eruption, and the air borne gas that is being tweaked for drama is vog, which is normal around eruptions and has varying levels of danger (from nuisance upward). What poor quality click bate reporting.

      I see that the reporters are there with professionals who know the area and know the dangers. Some tourists just walk blindly into the dark and into the frozen landscape.
      Yesterday a tourist was saved by chance. A small airplane had been at the volcano, when it was returning, crew on the craft saw SOS signs from some kind of lamp (was a pocket light, it turned out). The aircraft called for help and circled the man for one hour until help on the ground arrived. This man was lucky, brought to hospital and treated. Who is going to PAY for this? Icelandic tax-payers, that´s who.
      I urge tourists to HEED THE WARNINGS, not show middle finger to people who try to keep you from danger (yes, many tourists do that, show middle finger to rescue personel - who, BTW, are volunteers in Iceland.)

  • @Debbie-henri
    @Debbie-henri 10 месяцев назад +2

    I love the fact that the authorities claim they don't want tourists arriving to endanger themselves watching the volcanoes - but don't seem to be doing anything to actually stop them arriving.
    Forbidding hotels from accepting new bookings and stopping tourist agencies from arranging flights for all except Icelandic people themselves would be the easiest option.
    But obviously no one is really that bothered if tourists are still arriving.
    I just hope the situation doesn't get substantially worse very quickly (after all, this event erupted just when they thought the situation was easing), because as well as shipping out a load of sightseers to their home countries, they might have to ship out a load of Icelanders too. It's not like there's a spare city for the people of Reykjavik to move into. At this time of year as well, they could hardly be put into tents. They would have to be flown to the nearest host countries for support - and quickly.

Any gases drifting towards populated areas (unlikely given the current weather forecast) will be so diluted that they will only be a mild nuisance (a bad smell) to most people, only adversely affecting very few sensitive individuals.

      John Kerry will probably try to rip the world off for more billions of dollars in order to fix volcanic activity and climate change!

      The increase in CO2 pales in comparison to the SO2 produced by this eruption. Beyond that all volcanoes in world in a given year produce a fraction, about 1-2%, of the CO2 produced by human burning of fossil fuels.

      Here in Washington State they say that we are having record forest fires. I don't even use my fireplace anymore or drive my Tesla much. It is getting cold enough to snow. I wouldn't mind it being a few degrees warmer. @@michaeldeierhoi4096
