Thankyou for taking time out from your holiday. Travel safe.

Thank you Shawn for the update. I was so excited to see it this morning. I hope you have been enjoying your time away with family and friends. Enjoy the rest of your vacay in New York. Sending much love and appreciation for all you do. Thanks also to Amanda Jo for her fabulous help. ❤️

My cat loves your videos. The hand pointer over Google Maps seems to hypnotizes him when it slowly floats about.

When I was having breakfast this morning I was just thinking I was missing your Iceland updates, then opened up the KRplus app and here you are! Thanks for taking the time to do the update.

Thank goodness you’re back! The volcano just isn’t the same without you. Hope you had a good time in CR and have fun in NY.

Congratulations on 100,000+ subscribers! It's well deserved and you really deserve 10× more than that! 😃

You have been missed! Glad you are on vacation though, beautiful Prague! Thanks for the briefing.

Thank you Shawn for taking the time on your holiday to give us a factual, and calm update. You Tubers in general tend to inflate the event and create "disaster" headlines that also tend to use older images from the opening phase of this event or some of the earlier ones. I've been checking in regularly on the web cams and quit looking at pretty well all other Icelandic volcano videos unless they are by one of the Icelandic geologists. It's so good to have a steady, reliable source. By the way i am slowly working my way through your road cut geology videos, keep them coming.

Hey! Geologist from Prague here. Hope you enjoyed your stay here and seen some cool geology, since we have a lot of it in a small area.

Very interesting update , Iceland is a geologist dream , some much live action, lots to learn

It’s very interesting that they’re blasting a channel to guide future lava flows. While you’ve been gone, I saw a drone video showing a heavy equipment operator moving earth, in a blizzard with horizontal snow coming from the south or SE, and on the other side (NNW?) of the berm was the giant steaming lava lobe. Truly fire and ice, with a brave person continuing to work nonstop in between. Thanks for the update! Hope you can avoid travel hassles from the wild weather in the USA, Minnesota has had a ton of snow.

Thanks Shawn! Great update. Enjoy the rest of your well deserved vacation.

I heard that they were mining scoria in that mine/quarry. I'm not sure how true that is, but it makes sense.

I'd always recommend to take a mouse with you. There are also applications to remotely control your pc, so you might be able to use something like that in the future to get access to your normal setup.
Though, for a quick update during your vacation it's not necessary to do that at all. I just wanted to make you aware of the possibility, but it's completely up to you to decide what to do with this information :-)

Hi Shawn; I really enjoy your commentary. Using Explosives and excavating a path for the lava goes along with my old philosophy of “if you don’t give it a place to go, it will go where you don’t want it to”!

It’s was nice to get your update. Thanks for taking the time. You always cover all the pertinent information. Have missed your reports. Enjoy the rest of your trip and look forward to your next update.

Thanks for the update..very interesting about Askja waking up too. Visited it a few years ago. Amazing!

I said hello from "snowless MN" last week. After our weekend snow eruption, I can now say howdy from under 9+ inches of the white stuff. Spring time in Northern Minnesota 🥴. Safe trip home Shawn!

I was missing your touch and comments in the last week, thank you filling the gap(s)

Wow, what a nice surprise to end the day. You and Amanda Jo are Awesome. Hope you had a lovely trip.

Thanks Shawn, you are on a well deserved break so thank you for the update. . We in Idaho will be happy to have you back home.

Thanks to you and your family for taking the time out of your vacation to put these videos up for us. Safe travels!

Great to get an update Shawn. Thank you for taking time out from your holiday to speak to us. Enjoy NY, safe trip home and I'm sure we're all looking forward to being further educated by you when you return :)

Hello Professor!! It is so good to hear from you! I hope your vacation was amazing!!

Great stuff as usual Shawn, thank you for taking time out of your trip to update us. Safe travels home.

Thank you for this update. And I hope you had nice holidays too *waves frantically from the Czech Republic*

Thanks for taking time away from your vacation to give us an update! Enjoy the rest of your trip!

Thank you for the update! I've been watching some of your California and southern Utah videos. Have a safe trip home!

Thanks for the update. Concentrate on enjoying your holiday.

Thank you Shawn. Very much appreciate you taking the time to do an update for us. Been incredible to watch this recent eruption going through all the changes. Be interesting to see how things progress from here. Enjoy the rest of your trip …. 😁

Glad you all had a good holiday here in Europe. Thank you for the update.

Safe and pleasant travels, Shawn. You have taught us well! Your video confirms my thinking of the last few days.

Thank you for the update Shawn! Have fun in NYC and safe travels back here to Idaho! 😊

no need to apologize, Shawn. you are on a relaxing trip but I recognize your personal enthusiasm about Iceland and her eruptions - it is difficult to compartmentalize our excitement! I personally appreciate this update as the beginning to my day this morning! enjoy the remainder of your trip and safe travels!

Thanks for taking the time to do an update! Much appreciated! Enjoy the rest of your vacation, Safe travels ❤

Thanks for the great update Sean much appreciated as always. Have safe flight back home to Idaho

Thank you for this very interesting overview of the current status of the eruption. Safe travels!

Oh my gosh; Hiiiii! Are you having a good time? Miss you! Thank you for taking time for an update! Safe journey home.

Came to Iceland from Prague two days ago, had a nice view at the eruption when landing in KEF !

aww thank you for making time for the Iceland update for us - you have been missed

Welcome home weve been waiting 😊

Thank you for taking the time for this update. We so appreciate your efforts and insight.

Thank you Shawn! I’ve been wanting to know what’s going on but didn’t want to watch anyone’s explanation but yours 😂 I did watch one video last night of some guy and his dad flying a drone but all the dad did was bash how high and where they put the berms, so I muted and just watched the flows. Thank you again and enjoy the rest of your vacation!

Thank you Shawn for the update. Appreciate you doing this on your vacation. Hope you have had lots of fun. You have been missed very much.

I am so happy this morning because Professor Shawn uploaded content!🎉🎉
Hope the trip was everything that you hoped. Have a safe trip home.

I cant wait for the sketch! As you were talking about it I was thinking one of your sketchs might help visualize it better. Great update! Thank you for taking your personal time to give us an update. No apologies needed! Enjoy the rest of your trip!

Thanks Shawn ,we missed you !

Thank you for the update 😊

Thank you for the update. Hope you have a very good trip back to your country and home. Greetings from the Yucatan peninsula 🇲🇽

Thank you for the update. Happy to see you back. Enjoy the rest of your trip.

I've been eagerly awaiting your latest update because there's been a real dearth of information (for those of us who don't know where to look or interpret what we're seeing), all the while keeping in mind that you would give an update when the time warranted, and you've been missed. Thank you so much for this video that speaks to how this volcanic activity has changed a bit in its nature.
At the same time I hope your vacation has given you a much needed break from some of the crazy hours you've put in keeping all of us here in the know. Your work is very much appreciated and a rest is well-deserved. Thanks for everything you and your team have done for us in bringing together so much information that helps us make sense of what is going on on the Rekjanes peninsula.

Could only be ebbing, as finds it's way through recent earthquake fissures.
But I have a feeling not done. Interesting, to see new layers of ground building, I wonder how the bext one will display, should this settle down.
It may even pop uo through Grindavik, as the flow heads to the sea 🤔💯👏😊

Thanks for the update, Shawn. Enjoy the rest of your trip!

Thanks for the update Shawn. There's no need to apologise for not posting while you're on vacation.
As you were talking about the calculations of the height of the cones, there was a plume that I timed at almost exactly 3s to fall, which is about 45m. That plume was at least twice the height of the cone, so I think those figures were a tad high.
In case you don't know, you can step a frame at a time in KRplus using the comma and period keys ( < and >, although you don't press shift). This lets you get an accurate timing if you know how many frames per second the video uses. You can assess that using the timers on the video (start counting frames as soon as a new second ticks over, and count until the next second. Most videos are 25 or 30 fps. This video is 30 fps.

Hope you're having a great time! Loved Prague when I visited years ago. Missed your commentary/analysis as this new, different eruption has been ongoing. There is no one like you on youtube who provides the info, insight and synthesis of what is happening. Safe travels and looking forward to more of your videos.

Thanks for the update. Enjoy the rest of your vacation

Thanks so much for taking time on you trip to keep us up to date. -- charlie, sacramento

We missed ya Shaun. Hope you’ve had a fabulous quality time with loved ones in Prague. Safe travels dude. 💚

Thank you, Shawn, from an 80-year-old who will probably never step out of her town. You have given us so much interesting information, I feel like I have been there along with you and a thousand more, it's been enlightening and exciting.

Hope you had a lovely time in Europe. Nice to hear you again wendy in Western Australia

Even on your holidays. Thanks for the updates!

Thanks a bunch, Shawn. Appreciate it

Thanks for this update! I’ve been checking the Met office updates and trying to learn from the chat on the live webcams, but like most of the “team” I’m happy to hear your interpretation of the last week’s activity in Iceland. Safe travels!

Thanks for the update. Hope you've had a wonderful break and are feeling rested and energised.

Thanks so much, Shawn!
Safe travels home.

Thanks for the update Shawn. I liked the basalt explanation on the beach. I didn’t get the chance to go round the point to the southern Iceland sea caves as when I visited the tide was high. Safe journey.

Thank you Shawn 😊 Have a nice trip!

Hope your having a great vacation. Thanks for the update

What dedication to take time from your holiday. Thank you

See? I *told* you that there'd be an update on Iceland from Shawn in Europe! He knows that the is a hunger for knowledge/information and he is ready to feed the masses!

Soooo glad to have you back 😊. Sheesh, why apologise for being on hols, but I am glad you’re taking time out for us. This eruption has been so different & long. Trying to keep up with all the science 🥹. Ps. Happy Easter 😊

Hope you're having a great holiday shawn! Thanks for the update!

Thank you Shawn 😊 fascinating lesson ❤ enjoy your holiday 😊
