Nice update, thank you 😀

An unerringly accurate prediction in your previous upload saying the end is nigh, this time more questions than answers. How to prepare for future possibilities, my thoughts are pumps, pipes will be an insurance though sourcing water will be critical as well as speed of deployment. So far good weather/visibility have been on your side at the critical moment of eruption with a lower risk to life,,,,, birds included.Many thanks to Iceland peoples for sharing on YT.

_ERUPTION IS OVER_ … *for now*

It's definitely not coming to an end anytime soon. After each event magma chamber is growing, so it has more space to be filled. Which means uplift is smaller because magma is spreading more horizontally. But based on uplift alone it still fills at rate of around 5.5m3/s. But in reality almost half as around 4m3/s is going straight into dike most likely. So total inflow is the same as it was at the beginning which is around 10m3/s. Calculations based on uplift alone lack depth as it's only 1 dimension while magma chamber is 3D structure

Thanks again for a clear, complete review of the current situation . It's totally anticlimactic when the volcano dies the day after inspiring such frantic activity, lol.

Thank you for such a detailed explanation of the current situation. I really appreciate the time and effort you put into your videos, and I’m not alone in that. The insightful comments by your viewers and discussions between them add to my ongoing search for more knowledge about the crazy volcanic system in Iceland . So much better than the click bait of others on UA-cam and the cliched sound bites from the mainstream media .

General public like myself (a long way away east) get to hear about the headline events (through informative and engaging vid-clips like yours, thank you) which don't often even refer to the processes taking place underground. Finally my point 😄 you raise an interesting aspect in this edition: the Iceland igno-volcanic system (hot-plume & spreading tectonic plate boundary). Are those tasked with monitoring it able to 'see' all the magma movement / emplacement and gauge the 'pulse' or perhaps cadence as you very aptly put it? Fascinating work in an unique (and at least captivating) place on planet Earth 😊

this volcanic system is unable to hold down a job.

Any chance of switching on autocaptions? Please?

😀👍🤗

I would use the time in between eruptions to conquer Hawaii or similar tropical islands. Ice is nice but SUN IS FUN 🏝

Wow that was very detailed update. I hope those workers get to have a time off break for all this hard work they have done. Such great, dedicated workers. Thanks for the report. ❤

5 hours later a new spot further down is being sprayed with water and glowing, slowly advancing lava is visible.

Interesting ...thank you.

I really hope that the experts are right and these eruptions will come to an end. On the other hand I thinks we may not see that much uplift because there are so many cracks and what not in this ground so the magma may fill up all this without triggering an uplift. On the Eldey seismograph we can see unrest and that is in my opinion the magma source. But let’s hope that nightmare is over now and you all can have a friendly summer. The biggest danger in my opinion are all these cracks and holes in the ground, especially in Grindavik. I cannot wait for another video. Stay safe and enjoy the sunshine. Thanks!

Very nice summary!

I think a good look at a lot of historic data would show the patterns that have happened before and would give good insight to what could be expected in the future there. However nature by its nature is unpredictable. There may be a method to the madness but its a method we`d never crack the code of.

Perfect the wall now for future eruption. Get a real earth movers.

You need to understand that solid plate over Svartsengi reservoir is not constant. It gets wider and heavier over time and needs a lot more pressure to lift it up. So far this plate has worked as pressure valve due to the high pressure of magma which drops when there is outflow. The lava from last eruption had consistence closer to Fagradalsfjall lava than Svartseni lava. Due to that we can imagine it was 2024 Fagradalfjall eruption what you was waiting for. It just hadn´t enough pressure to make it`s own way to surface and used Svartseni magma very high pressure to open the way. Next eruption from Svartsengi reservoir is estimated in september-october but it can be even more later because it needs even more pressure and if there will not be enough pressure then eruption may not happen at all.

Well done containing the uncontainable! I am very impressed. :)

Its a real pity that the current eruptions aren't as 'tourist friendly ' as ' Bob', but spectacular nevertheless. Its the folk of Grindavik I feel for 😢 Thanks for your update ❤

It will be a shame if we get too long a break before the next eruption...we would be missing your updates and information on a frequent basis. And we would miss looking at data charts, and we would miss speculating, and we would miss our chat friends on various live streams, etc. etc., ...the list is long of so many things we would miss! Thank you for your update. Always great to listen to you! And you would miss all our fun remarks too, right? LOL

uplift has been more consistent after the end of this last eruption.....however as you pointed out, land rise is not as steep as it was before the last eruption....I'd like to have two to 4 weeks of more data before I will speculate what happens next....eruption or no eruption.....excellent video

It was very impressive to see the crews at work after the Svartsengi breakthrough. Luckily it was a bit cooler and slower moving lava. It will be hard to build new defenses, the lava is at many places higher than the wall, but Icelanders will find a way 👍

I'm curious as to how the scientists are able to predict that this eruption series will be over in late summer? This isn't meant as a criticism of their expertise; I'm just really curious as to how they can estimate something like that, so far into the future, with something so notoriously unpredictable. Is it calculated from the rate of decreased filling of the magma chamber? If so, I still wonder how they can know what exactly is happening with the original source of magma so deep in the crust? How would they know with such certainty that this source is no longer going to fill the magma chamber enough to cause more eruptions? I wish Þorvaldur Þórðarsson, Benedikt Ófeigsson, or another scientist would explain this reasoning in more detail. Regardless, I hope their prediction is correct and that the area is no longer under threat of more eruptions (at least for a few more centuries). I really admire the effort and persistence of the workers who didn't give up and kept fighting to protect all of the infrastructure they could. I think it also turned out to be a great learning experience as to what can be done for future eruptions on Reykjanes and elsewhere.

How big can the berms be built? It seems like an end to this phase is the only hope for the power plant. The government should really be thinking about long term back up options. Assuming that it's not buried, could the Blue Lagoon drill it's own hot water wells without the power plant?

Thanks for another informative update. I think you mentioned it before, but the density of the magma at depth is higher than the density of the lava erupted because the gases form all the bubbles at the surface. This means that the same mass of magma has a larger volume when it erupts at the surface.

I don't think so. Currently the uplift is low, but I think it's because there was still magma erupting. The next few days will tell if the uplift rate has increased or not. If it does increase now that the eruption is over, which I suspect it may, then there's a real possibility of at least one more eruption. Also, just before the last eruption, magma inflow seems to have increased. On May 24 it was at 18 million cubic meters, by May 29 just hours before the eruption started it was at 20 million cubic meters. I think the inflow rate may still be in the 4 to 5 cubic meter range, but we'll need more data to see if the uplift rate will increase.

When I saw the water being sent over it, I immediately thought of the same eruption..

Thanks for your excellent updates.

Hopefully this gives crews time to rebuild and fortify the surrounding berms.

Hi .... I always keep an eye out for your amazing updates. Þakka þér fyrir 😊

Brilliant update, thank you.

is the magna being released as lava coming from the chamber, your deep down in the reservoir ????

Love your channel ❤
