Thanks Shawn.
@@shawnwillsey I graduated in 1971- I am loving the catch up!!
My best friend was at the blue lagoon today when the evacuation sirens started ringing. She had only complete praise and appreciation for the entire evacuation process . She is safely back on board her cruise ship.
That moment when we see a notification pop up on your phone so you get the errands done in record time so you can get home to watch a cool geology event! Thank you Shawn!
You are the only person I look/ listen to about these events. You are able to explain what is going on in words my brain can comprehend. THANK YOU! It makes the world come so much more in focus for me
Thx Prof. ✌🏻 glad you caught it early on. Fascinating pics. Best wishes to our friends in Iceland.
Thanks for this livestream Shawn - catching it in replay but I really appreciate your dedication in keeping us informed. Such an interesting event to follow over time.
Thank you, Professor Willsey! Wow. You caught this next eruption in the act. I'm relieved to hear it's northeast of the last eruption.
Sorry to have missed the live! Thanks for another great session. Bruce Garner’s model prediction was spot on! Well done!
I've been checking in all week with this expectation! People think I'm a little weird because I get so excited, but these marvelous views are possible because of these cameras and your fabulous calculations. Can't wait to share with my elementary students who became new volcano "experts." Thank you
Love this. So glad you are sharing with your students.
As always Shawn, thanks for keeping us up to date on these developments. Always appreciated.
I happened to catch it at the exact moment. I was just tired of checking the cameras, but looked one more time and saw it happening yeah!
Thanks shawn, 3.30 am in England and I'm awake due to a real windy storm , live in my van .
Always check in with your channel , thanks for your great coverage ❤
Prays for iceland
Thank you for making this awesome event available. Colorado here.
Cool to see an eruption from the very start! Regarding the height of the lava fountain, a quick way to estimate the height is to try to follow an individual blob of lava from the time it reaches its peak elevation to the time it hits the ground. Based on high school physics, distance d = 1/2 x acceleration x time^2. Acceleration in this case is gravity, 9.81 m/s^2, or close enough to 10, which becomes 5 when divided by 2. So count the number of seconds it takes a lava blob to go from the peak to the ground, square that number, multiply by 5, and that gives you the height in meters. Eg 4 seconds fall time squared is 16, multiply by 5 is 80 meters high!
Thanks for the info. 80 meters is pretty high.
What a great physics reminder!
Actually watching Iceland Explorer at the same time. This is way north of the previous eruptions. Since they have increased the size of the walls surrounding the Blue Lagoon there is hope that whatever flow there is will be diverted from the Blue Lagoon. Here's hoping there is no major damage this time. Peace Out.
Are you sure, because I was comparing the last eruption footage from the cam (the one that hasn't moved for months) and it seems like it came up through the same fissure?
Yeah, the other guy was off. It was only a few hundred metres north of before
Thank you Shawn from 🇨🇦
I've been waiting for the eruption to happen in order to get a gift certificate at Nature Eye for my son. Perfect timing! I even used your discount. He's so excited that he asked me to come over and experience the flight with him. He can't believe that he's going to be piloting the flight himself. Great gift idea Shawn! Thank you!
I really enjoyed your appearence with Nick Zentner.😊
Look for more from us.
Watching all day, then it happens just after I went to sleep. Thank you Shawn.
The timing was amazing. So beautiful and so scary is the power of nature!!!
Judging by the the drop time of the lava these lava fountains are about 125m high. That's at least 50 times the height of a person. Amazingly terrifying.
Using a marker, on your TV, monitors or phone screen, draw a line vertically from the base of the fountain to the top. Judge half way on it and mark it (½). On the lower half, judge half way again and mark it (¼). Do it again (⅛) and again (¹/¹⁶) and again (¹/³²) and again (¹/⁶⁴). Stop.
One sixty-fourth of 125m ≈ 2m, the height of a person. Gives a whole new insight as to how vast this eruptive event is compared to a person.
Love the math!
wow, we were just in Iceland a little over 2 weeks ago and thoroughly enjoyed the various topography. it's incredible how Icelanders live day to day with the knowledge that there can be a volcanic eruption any day. We went to see the (highly recommended) Lava Show in Reykjavik (the closest we will ever get to real lava).
Thank you Shawn great input😊
Saw the long line of fountaining on another video. Thought I'd catch it from the professor. Hoping for good luck for Grindavick.
Hey Shawn, can you elaborate on the science of the bore holes?
Just got back to our Airbnb from checking this out. Out of this world!
I can't believe I've had the livecam running in the background for weeks and then the eruption starts half an hour after I go to bed 😄 Very lucky for you to catch it as it was starting, Shawn!
Public service announcement should remind folks that winds could shift much faster than any other factor. Hard to breath volcanic gasses. Often impossible. Breathing acids are hard on lung tissue.
So great that you were able to go live right as the eruption started, thanks for your insights!
It is so incredibly beautiful! 😊
saw this one go up from the start then we had a power cut!! Good to see this post as a way to catch up later. Thanks for all your hard work - great post. Don't miss your time out with your family though.
Thanks so much, Shawn. These are spectacular views of this eruption. I too have great admiration for the people of Iceland who live daily with this threat.
I just saw a few photos on Facebook from Icelanders in one of my groups. That's how I discovered it was erupting so came over to see. 👍🌋
Would love to see that in person.
Great timing! Thank you all for your do.
Thanks for all the hard work on these videos!
Right-on Bruce Garner!!!
Sorry I was unable to watch live but thanks to you Shawn, Amanda-Jo and Susan for everything you do to keep us updated. Watching the beginning of the eruption is amazing and the speed of the initial lava flow and the fountaining are spectacular. Thanks too for the explanation regarding the continuing earthquake activity: so many questions so great to have science based reasons predicated. Sorry you missed your dinner date and delighted your 15 year old son was able to stand in for you - he’s a credit to you and your wife🥳
Subscribed since November. Best coverage . Was living in Hawaii and now moved to Australia- still watching! Thanks!
Thanks for your kind donation and for sticking with me as you moved.
Your coverage is by far the best I've seen so far. No unnecessary sensationalistic bs; just factual information where possible and educated speculation without overhyping anything.
I do however have a bit of feedback. (I'm at 1:13:22, so you may have realised it later on already).
Some of the feeds were not live. I think it would be better if you were to get in the habit of clicking the "live" text in the bottom left of the video (next the the media buttons).
It would also be a lot easier on our eyes if you were to use dark mode on RUclips and your browser. Most of the video was very dark due to it being at night, which caused a big unpleasant contrast with the browser and RUclips UI.
I was watching this in the morning with my blinds still closed, so it was dark in my room and I am also hypersensitive to light. So it might not be an issue for most people. But it would be nice to have dark mode for accessibility reasons.
I'll still really enjoy your coverage whether you use this feedback or not. It's completely up to you ♥️
Thanks for all you do Professor Wilsey!! Keeping all us Geo Science nerds informed. 😁
Watched this event live, but have to see it again!
Thanks. Exciting to see this on waking up in the UK. Even better to have your informed commentary!
Much appreciated.
Brilliant - we're hearing you fine!
Stay safe those in iceland
I managed to watch most of this. Sad I missed the beginning but hey it more than made up for that. So awesome with the wow factor. Loved your explanations as always. I planned to watch the second one but had an afternoon nap!
Awesome! Thank you!
Couldn't catch the live stream, it kept cutting out on me. Fingers, toes, arms, legs and eyes crossed for Svartsengi, the Blue Lagoon, and Grindavik!
You need to get Amanda Jo an honorary Bac es science, for all her great work…
Agreed
It is beautiful like the Sun coming up!
I'm seeing 5 sec for the bombs to fall, which translates to 123m
You have done a terrific job but I noticed that road appears to go uphill from where the first tongue will intersect the road to the second lava tongue intersecting the road. The second tongue may just run down the road and join the first tongue of lava that intersects the road then both will push toward the power plant
Thank you for sharing.

There is black smoke coming off from one of the remaining vents. This is temporary. And goes back to white later. Any explanation for this? If this had been in area of dense vegetation I can understand when lava spreads to burn vegetation. But right at the vent in an area that had already recently been innundated, what would cause black smoke?
Beautiful spectacle!
Wasn't there a vulcanologist's opinion some months ago suggesting that future eruptions would be less active in the peninsula and begin to group themselves a bit Eastward of the past few fissures?
Wow. Will stay tuned!
Thankx from East Carolina
It looks like the GPS at the power station dropped from +180 to -60 mm, or 240 mm, as a result of the eruption. That's about 9 1/2 inches! For comparison, my hand is 8 inches from outstretched thumb to pinkie. I wonder if it was fast enough for anybody to feel the motion (I doubt it)?
Can hear just fine.
Great Video. Perfect. GREGG, Delaware
Will be interesting as it dies down if those bright spots to the north end up as the last fountains left that become spatter cones.
😊 I can hear and see you
Considering the close clustering of all the recent volcanic outbreaks, if it continues like this could we be seeing the origin of a shield volcano?
Yes. I can hear you.
Audio is fine ! See you fine. !!!
Hear and see you
It looks like there is more smoke on the northernmost lobe heading towards the road. I guess May burned off the moss near the power plant.
it just keeps going ,,,,,thanks for info
Just saw the updates came here to see what I have missed so far
VAN YOU EXPLAIN THE TABLE ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE WUTH TIME / MAGNUTUDE DEPTH ABD ALERT AREA? THANKS
Hearing is great
Very cool video
I was expecting it but not today for some reason!
How high are the fountains?
HEARING GREAT !
A thick question. Is there a relationship between phases of the moon and eruptions?
No. Basically, its effect is very, very tiny and negligible compared to more dominant factors.
Watching the lava dancing on line
Hear ya!
i can hear you ok
Yes
fascinating thank you
Audio is fine
Why are the time markers referring to “dying kimonos” and “expensive kimonos”? Auto-co-wreck acting up again?
Autocorrect correcting badly as usual?
Hey Shawn… look at camera 36A…
When will the volcano in Iceland stop erupting?
Iceland was formed by volcanic eruptions over past 25 million years. Eruptions will continue on and off well into future.
Yes,yes
🙏🏽
Is lava magma?
That looks bigger than the others.
Wow.
the 34 downvotes are from the family and friends of fire
Sound good
🙋🏻♀️😎👏
All clear
Can hear
Night time again
Use isak's drone footage
He does not share his footage.
They seem to have non stop volcanos or cracks
I've heard Iceland is basically one huge volcano.
Yep
