Ok
Thanks Shawn. A full day for you. Much appreciated. 🙂👍
Thank you for all your time taken to share this with us, especially on your anniversary (thank you to your family for sharing you with us today). It was absolutely devastating to see the fissure opened up outside the berm and then again so close to town.
Although fairly new to your channel, due to the Iceland eruptions of the past several months, I watch regularly because of your teaching style. Having said that, I know you are a professor first and a RUclips podcaster second. However, with your time, financial investments, and care and concern you've extended to the Icelandic community (I am not one. I live and reside in the US), I am glad you discovered the second fissure eruption as it occurred. I was watching your livestream and saw when it happened via your drone flight, but this is a good post (just think, you will be in historical literature!). Thanks again for the educational exploration.
Thank you for your constant (non sensationalized) coverage!
Absolutely. Able to share with young grandkids without overwhelming or scaring them.
Shawn, I think you won the Internet today with that capture of the new fissure. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience, albeit tempered by its unfortunate location.
It doesn't get any better than that, that is incredible footage and quality.
Amazing footage! Talk about being in the right place at the right time for that second fissure opening! My condolences to the people of Grindavik!
Isn’t this the footage from earlier? Ok, this is the portion of the earlier drone footage when that fissure opened up.
yes. this is just the polished video of that.
I live on the east coast. Yes, this is from earlier in the day. The lava did in fact encroach on the town where 3 houses caught on fire during Late afternoon EST. The " new" vent is what opened up and its lava crept into Grindavik😢
Real-time geology! Incredible! Hope some of the town and harbor infrastructure survives.
Just loved watching this drone flight live! Thank you for coming in at 4 am to do this flight for us!
This was from the January 14 live stream is just a small extract from the almost 4h long direct of yesterday late mornings, beginning of the afternoon.
So amazing that this was caught on the drone camera. Thank you for letting us view a kind of instant replay from the live stream earlier today.
Great summary of a long day. Happy anniversary. Awesome commitment to reportage.
Seeing that vent open up in real time made my heart sink. Praying for a short eruption and minimal damage. Watching Puna get annihilated in 2018 was horrible, I pray we don't see a repeat in Grindavik.
Amazing footage, Johan!👍 6:05 early stage of vent that burned down a few nearby houses
Astonishing that you got it on camera. That’ll be studied for a long time coming - congrats to you and NaturEye!
Saw it this morning but came back for a second helping...
I watched live yesterday, and I was impressed by how you managed to maintain your sense of wonder at the geologic wonder of the fissures developing, but with a sense of sorrow for the people who were in the firing line. You also did an amazing job of juggling a lot of info, and you kept apologising for not multi-tasking well, but you provided astonishing coverage!!! We really appreciate what you do. Thank you.
this could very well be an iconic shot. either way its amazing and you guys were out there at the right time. this should be seen everywhere. its amazing. well done!
It is tragic as i watch this as a replay from earlier, it’s 1am in Iceland as I type this and it looks so much worse right now. Glad everyone is safe, and so sad for all they are losing.
It's going to be sad to see Grindavik in the morning :( What a sweet town. I hope most is spared.
If this trend of quick and dramatic eruptions in the same fissure system continues, can we say anything (from earthquake data for example) about if the next active fissure will be another kilometre south, or if the magma has least resistance going north of the first vents instead?
Also, give your wife a huge hug and a big thank you from me for lending her husband and his expertise to us on that particular day. People who love you for the things you are passionate about are precious.
Wow! To watch Mother Nature show us her big show, in real time, is spectacular! Spectacular or disheartening for the town, and I feel for them, it’s astounding!
DAMN, YOURE WIFE IS WORTH GOLD LETTING YOU DO THIS. SHES A KEEPER
or they're just about ready for a divorce.
Two homes (at least) have burned down, and gas and water lines have burned already. Thank you for the awesome photography and update.
Simply incredible footage. I never imagined I would have the privilege to see the ground split open like this. Thank you so much.
Thanks to both you & Johan(?) …prayers for those effected. What an incredible educational
Opportunity provided by you and the folks at Nature Eye. Incredible!!!
Thank you your wife and family this footage was amazing 👏 😊
It is truly amazing what drones are able to do and the view they are able to give us -- not even helicopters can match this ability at 1000X the cost to operate. That closer fissure has already destroyed at least 3 homes and if the eruption continues for a couple days then the east side of Grindavik is likely to follow suit.
Geology history in the making! Needed tech for drones, phones, camera stability and the Internet for this!
Thank you Shawn! Its incredible that we get to see such Amazing views from halfway around the world so intimately.
Really appreciate your coverage and down to earth perspective.
This is so amazing to watch. Great example of how some of the stunning geography of the world is created.
Thoughts and Prayers to the residents of Grindavik.
Watching this video is just surreal. I had finished watching a video from Just Icelandic filmed a year ago on how he predicted this area was a possibility for an eruption, and here we are. Thank you for this aerial footage. It certainly gives a different perspective on the volcano's dynamics and exactly where it's moving. It seems Iceland is becoming more visually active each year..
What a way to spend an anniversary lol
Thank you for your time Shawn , happy anniversary ! As I watch the drone video I feel the inevitable coming ,I was hoping for the town to be spare but here is the reality ,can’t predict nature forces,so sad to see the town being destroy by the lava ,can only imagine how hard this must be for the people that call Grindavik home,I know Icelandic people are brave and resilient but this is so difficult to watch ,my heart goes out for them !
Seen this awesome footage this morning, hope you and your wife have had a wonderful anniversary Shawn?
that's incredible I'm sad for the people of grindavik but really cool you saw that fissure open up before your eyes..
praying for them
That could catch anybody out how quick that vent opened up amazing.. wow thank you for the great footage
Shawn, make sure to have them be very careful when overflight of the lava as the radiant heat can be too much for the drone!
Amazing. How wonderful that you caught this moment in Earth's history! And thank you for sharing it with us. My heart goes out to Iceland.
I don't know if this is true for all drones, but some are programmed to automatically return to their launching point when the battery gets too low.
incredible footage, thats got to be a 1 in a million shot of seeing a vent open like that
The growth of that new fissure was both frightening and amazing. I’m glad everyone is safe. Thanks for doing this.
Amazing to watch this video today after having seen the events yesterday. But yesterday what I saw was pieces of the action here and there. This is so good, showing from start to a full flow toward the houses. Thank you! I fear there will be more of this to come, not just here, but in other places around town.
Wow, just look at what amazing things cooperation can do! Although your channel already is an outstanding geology channel, this incredible moment really made it shine. Thank you! Our thoughts of course are with the people of Grindavík who are te unfortunate victims of this geological process. It's a shame these volcanoes don't care about people.
Ok, Shawn, you have an amazing wife. Happy Anniversary, Willseys.
Shawn, please say thanks to your lovely wife.
I could hear everything you said perfectly, but you sounded a bit like a sports commentator in the 1970s whilst doing a broadcast from an event taking place a long way away!
This new headset is excellent!
drone video as the small fisure opened was incredible virtual reality so sad to see peoples houses destroyed
Awesome shots! Was that this morning?
Mother Nature was like, "nope, you're not gonna block me off with those berms."!
Yep it was
This is a cut from the live streaming from the 14 January
, the vents open around 2PM icelandic time
This is absolutely incredible, just wow!! Surreal.. looks like a movie..
Watched you live this morning. I've been watching coverage all day.Your coverage is better that any news channel.
THOSE OUTLIER HIGH GPS READINGS THAT SEEM TO COINCIDE WITH THE ERUPTIONS ARE INTERESTING.
COULD THEY INDICATE A SUDDEN EXPANSION/COMING OUT OF SOLUTION FOR GASSES?
Maybe a bad analogy: the system is pressurised and full of dissolved gas, the earthquakes as it breaks through shake the bottle, a fissure opening takes the lid off, but the opening isn't big enough in the first minutes, so the gas coming out of solution builds excessive pressure throughout the system, hence a short-lived significant ground heave 🤔
Watched that live with you this morning...thanks for waking up so early and doing the stream. Happy Anniversary!
Shawn- amazing live video from this morning!! thank you!!
Happy Anniversary!!
That is a great view, both angles 5:50 . Yah, that line right by town there progressed into the town, around the noon hour. By dark, it had burned a number of homes and began going down surrounding streets, they assume, heading to the water...
I am so grateful for your coverage of this historic event! When I see a volcano or other major natural disaster, I am continuously in awe of the forces at play on our planet. At the same time, I am very sad for the residents of Grindavik.
Thaks for pulling this drone flight out of today’s live stream.
Just realized this is just a condensed video of the one earlier today.
Seems that the southern fissure has subsided a bit during the night.
Hopefully the damage is minimal but atleast 3 houses have been destroyed 🙁
I wonder if E. African Rift will ever see this type of volcanic activity?
This is from earlier in the day.
Unfortunately houses are being burned by the lava flow.
Probably a dumb question but are these extensions of the mid ocean rift?
Shawn, thanks for your epic livestream on Sunday (Jan 14). To actually see a vent opening was incredible, though it's horrible for the homeowners whose neighbourhood is being destroyed.
Extraordinary but very sad footage.
Thank you Johann.
Last eruption that affected a human population in a big way in Iceland was on Heimaeyl in 1973!
Spectacular filming. Incredible!! Thanks Shawn for showing us such a mind blowing event in real time to.
Thanks for editing the drone video of the new vent opening section of the long 3-hour live stream so people don't have to search for it.
It was really amazing to have been with you on you tube watching this live! Awesome - just a real shame its reached peoples houses as you said Shawn!
A minute or so before Shawn first notices and points out that vent, you can see a gas plume in the background. It disappears for a while behind the map in the upper right corner, but then reemerges shortly before he points it out.
And if you look at that the earlier time about a minute before, there's no sign of lava coming out, it's just a very large gas plume, much larger than when he notices and points it out.
So I think that earlier point about a minute before he catches it, is the large gas plume actually cracking and erupting out of the surface, and then just about the time he points it out is when you see the first lava coming out.
So yeah, I think they actually captured on video the gas plume that opened that vent up, and the first bits of lava emerging from it, even before he starts pointing it out.
You are correct, I was also watching live yesterday. I hope that I am wrong but I think that the next event will start further south and in the town. That is what the last burst of earthquakes suggested.
Man that's gnarly!
Cutting it fine! Hope the drone made it back safely.
WOW, that was amazing !!
Spoiler alert: the lava did consume at least 2 buildings.
Excellent footage! And Commentary! Hope the houses in the line of lava flow make it, but, not looking too good
Nice capture, wow!
Thank you for the great drone footage. It was fascinating, terrifying, respectful and very sad for the people of Grindavik. I watched it live and had to stop watching just before the lava reached the houses as it was 1am Australia time.
My thoughts go out to the people of Grindavik, the emergency teams and residents of Iceland. Stay safe everyone.
Happy Anniversary Shawn. I hope you managed to get some sleep.
Watching from Canada. Thank you so much for the footage and can't wait for more!
Thank you shawn.. im here from just icelandic video. He was saying you caught the 2nd fissure opening up!
Amazing capture.
Amazing yet so destructive
Amazing video from the drone!!!
Incredible, what a capture!
Incredible!
Thankyou and thank Johann for his great drone footage
QUESTION: On the Sundhnukar - Grindavik livestream timestamped between roughly 11.00 and 12.00 (Iceland time). The cam is showing the northern end with two active vents. In the foreground near the edge of the lava are two prominent plumes of gases which resemble the plume that preceded the opening of the new vent at Grindavik yesterday, but do not lead to a new vent opening. They seem to be coming from the ground not outgassing of existing lava. Could they be directly connected to the near surface magma chamber and be releasing pressure within the dyke? During this time period the visible vents are becoming less vigorous.
I’d be interested in your comments.
Thank you for yr livestream and keeping the plight of Grindavik residents in mind.
Thoughts and sympathy to the family and friends of gentleman who fell in the fissure. They couldn’t retrieve his body? Poor guy. Shawn can you confirm (or not) reports the area he fell hadn’t been ‘scanned’ prior to evacuation or workers entered town? Pls don’t repeat before Shawn or other credible source confirms. Also are local fisherman in the area safe? Thx and happy anniversary. Coming up to similar one.
I hate to say it, but I think it’s only a matter of time before Grindavik is done for. If not this eruption, maybe the next one. This is seriously scary, first time it’s spewed out ash.
Amazing footage. Here's hoping the downslope vents shut off quickly and those upslope of thr berm take over, possibly changing to flow east after the initial lava to the west piles up.
I thought it's like 10 meter cracks here and there with some lava flowing out and smouldering. But not, its hundreds of meters and very violent holy molly.
Wish i could just enjoy the video but am saddened to know the town is impacted
If the people are lucky the next eruption will jump the town and the rift will open up in the ocean. If they don't have luck, it will open right in the middle of Grindavik - which I appraise will be more likely.
Sort of looking forward to your assessment of the situation over the next few days, I hope there isn't an immediate inflation cycle incoming.
The beginning of the new vent shows the ground water steaming away.
This sounds very current but that vent right next to town has already consumed several homes.
Think the video was from this morning they said
This belated comment was initiated by a comment from another blogger. They stated that the area around the Blue lagoon has not subsided and wondered that the magma contained in the chamber was still available for further eruptive events. Will you address this topic?
I saw this part already when I re-watched all of your livestream on Sunday with about an hour delay, but still fascinating and scary at the same time!
ive looked at the town and topography south of the southern flowfield. It seems to be possible to restrict the damage to a relatively small area and then let the lava collect on the flatter land just north of the campsite. Hopefully the lava will have stopped by then. If not then it'll flow into the harbour.
If the town was going to be destroyed ... it best it was a slow ramp up, rather than an explosive even that would be a surprise. The slow ramp up gives people a warning to evacuate.
The people were gone before the eruption started.

Absolutely Amazing Footage!
