In Iceland, lava from the ongoing volcanic eruption just entered a mine and this will hinder lava wall construction. As the eruption enters its 10th day, many of people have wondered why tourists are not allowed to visit en mass. This video will explain why tourists are not allowed, and why the next few days are potentially crucial for the lava walls protecting Grindavik.

some of the lava walls protecting the town of Grindavik are at risk of being overflowed due to lava turbulence. As the eruption enters its 7th day, we received a reminder that the Reykjanes volcano is still producing amounts of toxic volcanic gasses. This video will discuss what occurred in the last 24 hours, along with recent scientific findings involving this volcano.
