"Big News - Offshore Eruption Could Be Underway Dangerously Close to the Airport The earthquake swarm that has been going on all weekend is a strong indication that the underwater volcanic eruption that I have been discussing regularly on the channel is getting closer. It is therefore a very good idea to use the new presentation of earthquake graphs to the fullest and the MET office deserves credit for this new great tool. Pick Reykjaneshryggur to isolate the results to the offshore ridge. https://skjalftalisa.vedur.is/#/page/map Online and working live cams:"

"Offshore Eruption or Not - There is Huge Tension All Over The Reykjanes Peninsula There is still a lot of uncertainty about whether an underwater volcano could be the next scenario so if I had to bet I would say that we will probably have another "traditional" volcanic eruption near Grindavik first. I will be near Grindavik the next few days shooting thermal footage and generally following up on some ideas for footage that is good to have from the area so I will probably produce the next video in the city. Remember to check out the great new online earthquake tool to make your own maps."

And I'm not going to deny that it's very difficult to have to wait even a few more weeks. and even to film this over the holidays but i will do it of course if needed.

"Uncertainty About the Timing of the Next Eruption - Christmas is a Likely Scenario Strangely enough we would like the next eruption to start as soon as possible because a full magma chamber could be more than our lava defence systems can handle and a Christmas eruption is really not we need so the situation is getting a bit tricky. I hope you liked the b'roll this time since i didn't have any brand new Grindavik footage but plenty from the north and i haven't even processed the weekend fully footage so this was just a sample of what i will be uploading soon.

It's fairly easy to get to the base-camp but the glacier it self is only usable for well equipped cars. We didn't go all the way to the ice cave because the trail became hard to spot and the glacier is very fractured this time of year so we didn't want to risk drifting from the safe trail that was still open when we were there in"
