Well our 🇨🇭 neutral comment:
a) for sure a volcano eruption is much safer than terrorists ... so we would visit 🇮🇸 instead of 🇵🇸 or 🇮🇶 or 🇵🇰 or 🇸🇦 or or or without any doubt
b) Iceland is pretty experts with such things, even if other nations have volcanoes too
https://xn--r1a.website/Volcanscientific/49
it's not the first time too.
c) the power of nature cannot be underevaluated, no matter how good scientists are ...
d) remember that is not related to whole Iceland
e) remember that tourists are a money source for Iceland (like for other countries), so obviously they will say "it's safe" if 99.9% is safe, but there is still a 0.1% of unsafe.
f) you cannot use drones ...

so if your idea was "cool, a great way to do videos", yes, but just in part
g) even journalists traveled to Iceland ... but they travel to 🇵🇸 too
h) even if something happens to Reykjavík, you can trip to Akureyri or other airports ... https://perma.cc/MX52-ZZBQ
i) keep in mind that if flight will be cancelled, you need to remain there or use other strategies, for example Seyðisfjörður is located on the other side of Iceland ... https://perma.cc/M9JA-DA4C or https://perma.cc/3SQZ-6XN4 or ..
l) volcano != volcano

Conclusion: it should not be a problem to trip to Iceland, especially depending where you want to trip ... but remember to keep enough money! if something happens and you need to change things or sleep more days there or or or ...

Ask directly Iceland what you need to do when flight maybe get stopped ... just as prevention step. We never visited Iceland until now (it's a todo), so we have zero experience. No matter what, always keep in mind + and -, not that you say "oh, i didn't expected that ...". Use always the brain and ask questions to the right people BEFORE you do a trip! If you are not happy with the answers, continue to ask to other ...

List of oil spills https://perma.cc/FD8L-QJFA

A total of 110.000 litres of diesel oil had leaked from the station, through the sewer systems of Hafnarfjörður and Garðabær, ultimately ending up in the ocean https://perma.cc/BM3K-KS43

Costco fined 20 million for "gross negligence" over oil spill https://perma.cc/9Y4P-59FW

Iceland’s ‘Largest Environmental Accident’ https://perma.cc/ZQ6T-HW5V
On February 10, 1944, during World War II, German warplanes attacked the vessel inside the fjord. There were no casualties, but the tanker sustained considerable damage and was subsequently sunk. Not surprisingly, there was an extensive oil spill, since the ship had the capacity to carry 9,000 tons of oil. In 1952, about 4,500 tons of oil were pumped from the ship

For those asking "how neutral" are the messages by Lava Show?

Well, let we check where Lava Show is located.

a) It's outside the area of Grindavík

b) it still can be reached by auto / bus, no matter what is happening in Grindavík

c) on their side, there is no main airport, except these near Grindavík

Let we check who Ragnhildur Ágústsdóttir is. Is she a scientists? Seems not.
https://is.linkedin.com/in/ragnhildur

She worked for
- Canadian Embassy in Iceland
- Partner Sales Executive - Iceland
- Strategic Advisor - Ministry of Business, Culture and Travel (Iceland)
and many similar jobs related to business / tourists, etc.

and studied
- Business Administration
- Master's degree Strategy, Organization and Leadership

So in conclusion, even if they are not directly located near the problematic area, they still depends from tourists coming to such area.

We don't want to say that they are saying bullshit, because they do great videos, but keep in mind there is still "personal / financial interests" too.

So, like said previously, it should be fine, BUT don't think is 100% fine!

Before doing a trip, always take all necessary steps, considering the situation "nothing will happen" and the situation "what should i do, if something really happens?"

Remember what we said before ... 💶 always influence what people are saying, means if they say "safe" it doesn't mean 100% safe!

Hvis utbruddet og magmaen kommer opp i Grindavik, er det krise. Og det kan skje, sier Olivier Galland, forsker og professor i Geologi ved Universitetet i Oslo.

If the eruption and the magma come up in Grindavik, there is a crisis. And it can happen, says Olivier Galland, researcher and professor of Geology at the University of Oslo. Among other things, he specializes in volcanic systems.

Det er umulig for forskere å vite hvordan magmastrømmen vil utvikle seg og hvor lenge utbruddet vil vare. Galland forteller at utbrudd ofte ikke holder seg til et fast mønster.

It is impossible for scientists to know how the magma flow will develop and how long the eruption will last. Galland says that outbreaks often do not follow a fixed pattern.

Det kan starte rolig og stabilt før det avtar, men plutselig kan mer magma komme og nye sprekker kan oppstå.

Utbrudd kan vare i alt fra tre dager, to uker eller seks måneder. Vi vet ikke, og det er det som er problemet, sier han.

It may start calmly and steadily before slowing down, but suddenly more magma can come and new fissures can appear.

Outbreaks can last anywhere from three days, two weeks or six months. We don't know, and that is the problem, he says.

Ett scenario er at det er et kort utbrudd, og at man kan vente det ut.

Et ekstremt scenario er om sprekken propagerer seg sørvest og destruerer Grindavik.

One scenario is that there is a short outbreak, and that you can wait it out.

An extreme scenario is if the crack propagates to the southwest and destroys Grindavik.

Hvis lavastrømmen er veldig lang kan den strømme til sjøen og gjøre interaksjon med vannet. Da kan det oppstå store eksplosjoner som produserer giftig gass.

If the lava flow is very long, it can flow to the sea and interact with the water. Large explosions can then occur that produce toxic gas.

🇬🇧 Eruption in Reykjanes Peninsula: There is no discernible volcanic activity in the fissure at the moment. Possibilities of flowing lava underneath the lava coat in lava tubes and therefore it is not possible to say that the eruption is over.
The eruption area is CLOSED until further notice and hiking in the area is prohibited. Please respect the closure.

🇮🇸 Eldgos norðan við Grindavík á Sundhnjúkagígaröðinni: Engin gosvirkni er lengur til staðar og virðist vera slokknað í gígum. Mögulegt er að hraunrennsli sé í lokuðum rásum og því ótímabært að lýsa yfir goslokum.
Gosstöðvarnar eru LOKAÐAR og bannað að ganga þangað. Virðið lokanir og haldið ykkur fjarri svæðinu.

Lava Show | Reykjavík (Facebook)

Feb 8: The volcanic situation in Iceland is taking a turn to the worse, disrupting the hot water supply.

While all people have been evacuated and everyone is safe, just four hours after the eruption started in the early morning of February 8, a single stream of lava heded directly towards Svartsengi. It didn’t take long for the lava to overflow the road to Grindavík and the Blue Lagoon but more importantly, it went over the very important water pipe that provides the entire Reykjanes peninsula with hot water.

This means that now, we have about 40.000 people, without hot water, which is Iceland’s main way to warm up our houses, and with the freezing conditions in Iceland right now, the extreme cold could render the houses damaged if the hot water pipe won’t be fixed very fast.

Have you not said previously to tourists "well come to us, there is no problem?" 🤦‍♂️

What we said previously?
https://xn--r1a.website/GrindavikTelegram/23

Well, why hotel ARE OPENED IN SUCH REGIONS??! but you said is ok previously ... 🤦‍♂️

So this is not just a problem about local people, but even tourists!

Next time, talk less shit with 💶 in mind ...

Well, it should not be a problem, at the end you can in theory switch hotel ...

In winter there should not be a lot of tourists ... but no matter, say less shit next time!

Again, never trust anyone! Especially if they work for tourism without being scientists!
