Katla volcano send us a huge flood today which for a while looked like preparations for an eruption but things are coming down again after evacuation plans were activated and aviation code over the glacier capped volcano was changed to code yellow. The sudden drop of veight above Katla's calder is however still posing at threat so the area remains on high alert. The Bridge seems to have survived the floods and if so, we can expect the highway to open up again tomorrow, Sunday.

    The more I see of the stunning geography of Iceland, the more I wish I could go there in person. One of life's regrets that I never did, and now I can't. Thanks for bringing it into my living room, Gylfi.

    Oh dear, am arriving in Iceland in just over 2 weeks. Can you please tell Katla to behave just a bit longer?! 😁
  • @rally618
    Always love how you pronounce Iceland !! What a incredible island, very scenic. Hope your people never let it get trashy and look like some parts of the world.
  • @Liz-sy7iu
    Beautiful photography Gylfi and thanks for the update. I hope that Katla remains calm for the sake of the people of Iceland and its visitors. Safe travels for you.

    Those clips filmed with the failing camera mount made me emotionally understand why some of my ancestors chose not to return to Norway; it looks delightfully similar, but there were no structured settlements of people with different degrees of ownership of land. It must have seemed like a dream come true to those who worked on other people's properties, with no hope of owning their own land and cattle!
  • @jujuvtx
    Lol smaller units with longer names. Your country does road repair like no other country. I hope it's not an eruption. Wishing you well
  • @EducatedSkeptic
    Thanks so much again for an informative update. That is one MESS of water coming down the river, and of course with any significant eruption it will be orders of magnitude worse. Take care, stay safe, and know that you have countless friends around the world wishing for your best health continuing forward!

    Icelanders ‘enjoy’ excitement after excitement 😮
  • @madam94
    Oh jeez, Katla rolling over in her sleep and having a bit of a murmur. That was not on today's bingo card that's for sure, hopefully that's all it is for the moment!
