Time has a different meaning to geologists. When they say 'recent' they often mean 'since the last Ice Age'. So when they say 'soon' they could mean anything from 'next week' to 'this century'! And like all scientists, they are hard to pin down because they know how much isn't known. Beautiful photography again. I especially like the waves on the shore from the drone.
Planet Earth is magnificent. Next time you're feeling really accomplished or old, remember we are but a blink in time. Fabulous footage and storytelling, as always.
As perfectly stated by reallifelore "We are all so unbelievably small. But you shouldn't worry, because all that means is there is so much left out there to discover together."
Thank you Gylfi, for being our tour guide and for being one of the best tour guides in the world! I hope the upcoming volcanic unrest treats the people better than the landscape will feel, but I cannot tell you how happy it makes me to have you as our news provider for this next chapter.
Last year's Mauna Loa eruption here in Hawaii came on suddenly. While there had been earthquake swarms for years they had just waned a bit and then boom, we had an eruption. Great info and drone footage in your video. Maybe some year I'll make it to Iceland for an eruption.
I love that you call it your “private plate”. Everybody needs their own tectonic plate. It just makes Iceland all the more special. You must be incredibly organized to keep all your gorgeous drone footage ready for a specific video (or documentary). Can’t wait to see your first documentary.
"incredibly organized"is the only way to do things :) however, I lost track after last summer, overflow, especially after the eruption, so I'm still sorting and pre-editing since that's where I often get my ideas, and it makes it easier to edit my updates, to know my own film stock is of high importance :)
People are fascinated by volcanos for good reason. I live in SE Alaska, about five miles from a volcano that just recently was upgraded to active from being dormant several centuries. I am not moving and making only minimal mental plans on what to do if it decides to give us a show. My problem is my nearly flat roof which would not withstand a lot of heavy ash. Not sure what I can do about that. It is easy to get onto the roof to shovel, but I am aware that it probably would not be safe to try shoveling while ash is still falling. There is no place to drive to get away, and planes for sure would not be flying with ash in the air. So, we watch and wait. My youngest son and his wife will be building a home this spring, so that kind of sums up how we feel about staying here. Love your videos and comments on the activities there in Iceland.
I don't know if this is about Mt Edgecumbe? Although I can imagine feeling uncomfortable about the new situation, as I understood they don't expect an eruption in the near future. But better safe than sorry.
Lighthouse at the end of Reykjanes Peninsula was a popular place to visit as it was an easy drive from Keflavik NATO base. PS - Mount Keilir is a great day hike! PS2 - Wish drones were available in 1979-80 when I was serving at base.
Tourist plate boundary zone or not, it was an unforgettable place to visit for me when I first came to iceland in 2014. I've since then been returning again to this enchanted land between two tectonic plates! :)
Thanks so much for the great videos! I was in Iceland last summer and it was so amazing. I really like the info and visually beautiful videos you make! Best regards from Copenhagen!
I was wandering around Reykjanes peninsula yesterday on my last day before going back to Italy. I saw a drone flying over the "Bridge Between Continents" and I immediately thought that you may have been somewhere around but I couldn't spot any drone pilot in the surroundings. I don't know if it were you but, if so, it would have been great to meet you in person. Anyway, thanks for your great work of sharing these amazing and valuable contents about the country that I love the most.
Thanks for sharing, nature is truely playing with us guessing where an eruption might be next. Thanks also for clarifying the story of Thingvellir. Kind regards from The Netherlands, Bart
WOW ~~ thank you for this beautiful footage, information, and history tour... Cannot imagine how much time you place into making these so beautiful and educational. 🌈🌋 yay for volcano nerds ❣
Oh well, we’ll just have to wait if and when something is going to happen. I hope, if an eruption starts, everyone be safe. Great drone footage, as ever.
I agree with the people who say that you're the best tour guide of Iceland! I always watch your videos with interest and heart longing to see this beautiful country again! 🇱🇻❤️🇮🇸 P.S. Only 2 weeks left until I'll be there for a moment! 🤩
What a wonderful video - terrific drone footage and great explanation of tectonic plates and rift valleys. Thingvellir and the Reykjanes Peninsula are 2 of my most favorite places in the world. Thank you!
Thanks again for that video. Beautiful, beautiful views! I saw some new things going on at the Rejkanes Volcano. The seismographs there truly showed magmatic signatures there, especially in the last weeks or so. Greetings from Germany.
Thank you for another great video! I first started watching your channel about a year ago to learn more about this beautiful country. I was fortunate to have visited Iceland in June/July of 2022.
Another fantastic upload, thanks! Your knowledge of Iceland’s landscape and history, as well as of geology and seismology is impressive. Looking forward to my next visit. Would you mind briefly explaining how Iceland’s geothermal power plants work?
Pump up mineral water, use it to drive turbines or heat up fresh water, and then we pump the waste water into a lave field, call it the Blue Lagoon, and people pay big bucks for bathing in it :) It's the ultra simple version, but it's a topic that I actually need to cover :)
12:02 I absolutely love how you can see both the main Mid Atlantic Ridge fault and then all the fissures propagating from it at an angle. It looks just like the imaging of the underwater portions of the spreading ridges! Definitely a place I ought to visit someday.
Absolutely fabulous diagrams and photography. Your explanation as to the peninsula, and the Thingvellir Parliament were superb. Oh, the joys of living on the greatest 'crack' in the World!
Thanks for update. I suggested to you the Dutchsince YT channel. Hope you had time to check it out as it could add to your knowledge. He gave info on Turkey/Syria EQ's - the 7.s. He brought out that the shaking reached as far as Scotland - so, not far from you in Iceland. I checked and the effect was confirmed. It did indeed cause rumblings as far away as Scotland. He is predicting from seismic activity web data that there could come further EQs for the Turkey area again (X2) and depending on which way the energy releases it could release up further into Europe. So, the changes you are reporting may be coming from the EQs Turkey is experiencing.
Your gorgeous footage has convinced me. You are correct about the Mid-Atlantic ridge rising from the sea being THE most impressive feature. Mason Obscura posted a video recently about The All Thing, the law rocks and the oldest Parliament in the whole freakin' world! Iceland just keeps amazing me again and again !:-) God bless 🙏
I subscribed. Your drone videos are so beautiful. You speak quietly (ASMR -like in a way) and very informative, I'm fascinated by tectonics. Keep going, and stay safe! By the way, do you know that paleogeologists think that the Icelandic hotspot burned through the Siberian plate 250 mln years ago when it was part of Pangea and moved above it, creating Siberian trapps?
I agree with the professor. It seems way to quiet in the Reykjanes Peninsula, like the quiet before a storm. I think we could see an eruption before the end of the year.
@@JustIcelandic And just last night there was quite a large(ish) quake on the seismograph. I haven't seen any reports on it, but from the size of it I think it may have been a 3 or 4, possibly higher.
Thank you for making these updates, and for your outstanding aerial footage! (fyi, I noticed that the eruption dates are misrepresented on the map as 2022 & '23, rather than 2021 & '22)
Such beautiful footage. In quiet moments I do sometimes wonder why a volcano island with over 100 volcanoes is called Iceland, and not something like Fireland?!
Iceland has the largest - by far - glacier area in Europe, Vatnajokul, and several others really big ones. Sailing in from the southeast, as the first settlers did, Vatnajokul is very prominent, and on the shore there, between it and the ocean, is where the first Icelander is said to have set up his homestead. So "Ice - land" seems a very apt name. Remember, there were no shopping malls back then to focuse your attention and purchasing power on.. 😁
directly 3 days after the catastrophical Earthquake Turkey + Syria, all my Feelings for the People... here in Romania, areas north of Craiova, 150 km west of Bucuresti, started more than 900 earthquakes, from 2,5 til 5,6 , with lot damaged houses, schools etc... the Anatol Plate is moving counterclockwise to the South-East Europe Plate... there are new gaps now in Turkey by 5 - 15 m .... ... so lets hope for the good future of the People in all Regions.... ....
Thank you for sharing, this was terrible and I hope the rebuild process goes well for all those suffering losses, it will take a long time to fix what can be fixed, but the loss of people was just so sad
I listen to all ideas like you can see here :) www.redbubble.com/i/jigsaw-puzzle/Tr%C3%B6lladyngja-Volcano-on-the-Reykjanes-Peninsula-in-Iceland-by-gylfigylfa/140721493.L4Q0T?asc=u
thanks for the video. We are going to be there in late June and both the bridge between continents and the assembly plains are two spot we definitely want to visit.
Sounds great! The Bridge and the Reykjanes Lighthouse Cliffs are in a way the ideal starting spots, it's where Iceland rises up from the seafloor, it's just the part of the mid Atkandic ridge that happens to be above sea level, and have a great time :) and welcome to Iceland :)
A wonderful video thanks. What happens if you have a productive business in Iceland and the land beneath turns into an active erupting volcano, is there compensation or help to start again somewhere else?
Just a minor error in the first part of your video, it was the 2021 and 2022 eruptions and not 2022 and 2023 as you suggested. Not saying I wouldn't mind another eruption in a suitably safe location but I just wanted to point that out.
Awesome! Thank you for clearing up the Thingalvir issue...a huge misconception. Including the whole 'swim between the plates' lie that people are being sold.
Iceland has its own plate? Does it have a unique geology - is it basalts? Are there any sedimentary rocks in Iceland at all? Beautiful camerawork and nicely annotated btw!
Thank you for the update 🙏 I think you mean on 2:02 the 2021 and 2022 eruptions instead of 2022 & 2023 😄 or is there a new one just started? 🤩😂 Again thanks and i look foward for the next video 👌🏻
I have not heard of any eruption in the last 2 months in Iceland. I think you are correct and it is a honest mistake. He would have been providing videos of any new eruptions I am sure 😊
Question regarding the bridge between continents that I’ve been mulling over for years: Was it designed to be flexible enough to self-adjust over time as the chasm slowly widens? Obviously, Icelandic engineers are quite clever … but do you know the mechanics and physics behind it? If so, would you consider posting a video about it?
This is a good question! I read it somewhere that the bridge is in fact adjusting a bit since it was placed there, but I will need to dive a bit into this to make sure I get the facts straight, and yes I will add this to my list of topics, it's a good idea, so many thanks :)
Are those power stations geo-thermal ? If so, I assume they might monitor temperature and pressures of the inlets. Would they be able to detect rises in sch things? Might give an indication if the magma is coming nearer the surface. Just a random thought.
Yes they are geothermal and yes, changes can be detected, like it's more output in the Svartsengi power plant now, the one by the Blue Lagoon and Grindavík
Do the quakes and activity overlap with the same time period of every previous year and the year before etc, maybe last 5 or 10 years if you can see this far back on that program. Scientist in iceland recently buried some fiber optic cables around a volcano to test activity for the volcano that lives underneath a glacier. The test was very good and fiber optic cable seems very sensitive and much better than scientist expected. And i don’t know how it works or if its difficult to make yourself, but maybe you can do this in small scale if you want to know the activity around you.
Hertfordshire allotment showed videos of some type of flash or explosion coming from the Geothermal plant and showed another one of land slides coming from the other side of the plant ....big chunks of Mtn.
What is happening with Askja. Will the magma not reach the surface this time ? Have the icelandic geologists come out with any new predictions this week ?
knowing that volcanoes can erupt at anytime and people keep living near them even tho the earth is shaking and smoke are rising from them.. well i hope no one dies but if you live near a active volcano then you should know it can erupt without warning... anyways i will love to travel to iceland someday. it really looks to be an amazingly beautifull landscape and history.. i love looking at google earth. i use it to look at the earth soil to see if there is signs viking settlements.. i can feel my danish ancestors is watching over me. how i dont know.. im not religios, i believe in humans and not what i cannot see or talk to.
Welcome and thanks, If you want signs of viking settlement, this is the biggest unsolved mystery, and you can use Google, and Map.is is perhaps even better: fornleif.is/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/FS292-04262-Forn-garðlög-%C3%AD-SÞ.pdf

You got it right, my mistake :)
Love the tectonic plate footage👌🏻!
And the geo thermic powerplants are so genious and bright❤️💙

Thanks for update. I suggested to you the Dutchsince YT channel. Hope you had time to check it out as it could add to your knowledge. He gave info on Turkey/Syria EQ's - the 7.s. He brought out that the shaking reached as far as Scotland - so, not far from you in Iceland. I checked and the effect was confirmed. It did indeed cause rumblings as far away as Scotland. He is predicting from seismic activity web data that there could come further EQs for the Turkey area again (X2) and depending on which way the energy releases it could release up further into Europe. So, the changes you are reporting may be coming from the EQs Turkey is experiencing.
Dutch is excellent :)

Shaking Scotland on fire :) Good one :)
Your map says that an eruption occured in 2023. It this accurate or an error/typo? I thought those eruptions occured in 2021 and 2022.
Yeah, you're right. It seems like yesterday though :)
Typo error
@@JustIcelandic Sorry to nitpick. Great video!
Thank you for making these updates, and for your outstanding aerial footage! (fyi, I noticed that the eruption dates are misrepresented on the map as 2022 & '23, rather than 2021 & '22)
You are correct :) I was getting a bit tired when finishing this one :)
Such beautiful footage. In quiet moments I do sometimes wonder why a volcano
island with over 100 volcanoes is called Iceland, and not something like Fireland?!
I call it The Land of Pure Elements because you can experience all of them: Fire, Earth, Water and Air in their essence!! Beautiful and amazing!
Iceland has the largest - by far - glacier area in Europe, Vatnajokul, and several others really big ones. Sailing in from the southeast, as the first settlers did, Vatnajokul is very prominent, and on the shore there, between it and the ocean, is where the first Icelander is said to have set up his homestead.

directly 3 days after the catastrophical Earthquake Turkey + Syria, all my Feelings for the People...
here in Romania, areas north of Craiova, 150 km west of Bucuresti, started more than 900 earthquakes, from 2,5 til 5,6 , with lot damaged houses, schools etc...
the Anatol Plate is moving counterclockwise to the South-East Europe Plate...
there are new gaps now in Turkey by 5 - 15 m ....
...
so lets hope for the good future of the People in all Regions....
....
Thank you for sharing, this was terrible and I hope the rebuild process goes well for all those suffering losses, it will take a long time to fix what can be fixed, but the loss of people was just so sad
Hope it's okay and it doesn't blow
No yet, but it will for sure, but this is easy compared to Askja volcano :)

A wonderful video thanks. What happens if you have a productive business in Iceland and the land beneath turns into an active erupting volcano, is there compensation or help to start again somewhere else?
I don't think it could turn so bad, and if so, I would be very busy covering that, from where ever I could..
I think i spotted a small mistake. the map on there says 2022 and 2023 eruptions, but they were 2021 and 2022 eruption iirc, right?
You got it right, my mistake and thanks for mentioning it...
@@JustIcelandic no prob. just figured it might be helpful to point out. Hope i didn't come off as mean or anything.

Thanks, noted :)
6:17 When and where was this filmed and what's the red glow from?

It has been 6 days, almost a week we haven`t heard anything from you, are you all right? We check every night and we are now worried.
Been busy with a long video, took me longer than I expected, but online in few hrs, and thanks for thinking of me :)
Iceland has its own plate? Does it have a unique geology - is it basalts?
Are there any sedimentary rocks in Iceland at all?
Beautiful camerawork and nicely annotated btw!
It's a bit to wide question to answer here, but thanks for stopping by :)

I have not heard of any eruption in the last 2 months in Iceland. I think you are correct and it is a honest mistake. He would have been providing videos of any new eruptions I am sure 😊
Yes, correct, I was getting tired :)lots of videos lately :)
@@JustIcelandic and as loyal followers we really appreciate that 🙏😇😇
on your map do you mean the 2021 and 2022 eruptions? it says 2023! have I missed something?
My mistake :) typo
@@JustIcelandic just thought I had missed somethings, keep up the good work. I enjoy your videos.
Wait … did I miss something? There was a 2023 eruption?
I think its an error/typo.
Typo error
@@JustIcelandic Okay, great! I occasionally take a nap, but I didn't recall oversleeping to that extent. 😆
We are gonna get a new island on either April 15th 2023 or April 15 2024
Noted :)
Question regarding the bridge between continents that I’ve been mulling over for years: Was it designed to be flexible enough to self-adjust over time as the chasm slowly widens? Obviously, Icelandic engineers are quite clever … but do you know the mechanics and physics behind it? If so, would you consider posting a video about it?
This is a good question! I read it somewhere that the bridge is in fact adjusting a bit since it was placed there, but I will need to dive a bit into this to make sure I get the facts straight, and yes I will add this to my list of topics, it's a good idea, so many thanks :)
@@JustIcelandic As always, thank *you*! ❤
I agree with you.👍
Thanks and welcome :)
Are those power stations geo-thermal ? If so, I assume they might monitor temperature and pressures of the inlets. Would they be able to detect rises in sch things? Might give an indication if the magma is coming nearer the surface. Just a random thought.
Yes they are geothermal and yes, changes can be detected, like it's more output in the Svartsengi power plant now, the one by the Blue Lagoon and Grindavík
Do the quakes and activity overlap with the same time period of every previous year and the year before etc, maybe last 5 or 10 years if you can see this far back on that program.
Scientist in iceland recently buried some fiber optic cables around a volcano to test activity for the volcano that lives underneath a glacier. The test was very good and fiber optic cable seems very sensitive and much better than scientist expected. And i don’t know how it works or if its difficult to make yourself, but maybe you can do this in small scale if you want to know the activity around you.
I'm curious now ... is the snow generally gone from Iceland at this early time of the year?
No it's from many seasons, however, it's usually no snow on the Reykjanes peninsula, but this winter was "really something different"
Hertfordshire allotment showed videos of some type of flash or explosion coming from the Geothermal plant and showed another one of land slides coming from the other side of the plant ....big chunks of Mtn.
Between Keilir and Kleifarvatn in this mountain rift zone is my bet
That could be that case, it's at least on my list of places where I need a bit more footage, just to be sure when things heat up..
That lighthouse looks useful.
It is!
What is happening with Askja. Will the magma not reach the surface this time ? Have the icelandic geologists come out with any new predictions this week ?
Long video coming up, online later today :)
Starlink is now available in Iceland, so that should keep you away from your internet woes.
We don't need them tin cans spoiling our northern light view
And here I thought any new upload would be all about Askya. So much going on here…
The Askja video is in the making :)
knowing that volcanoes can erupt at anytime and people keep living near them even tho the earth is shaking and smoke are rising from them.. well i hope no one dies but if you live near a active volcano then you should know it can erupt without warning... anyways i will love to travel to iceland someday. it really looks to be an amazingly beautifull landscape and history.. i love looking at google earth. i use it to look at the earth soil to see if there is signs viking settlements.. i can feel my danish ancestors is watching over me. how i dont know.. im not religios, i believe in humans and not what i cannot see or talk to.
Welcome and thanks, If you want signs of viking settlement, this is the biggest unsolved mystery, and you can use Google, and Map.is is perhaps even better: fornleif.is/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/FS292-04262-Forn-garðlög-%C3%AD-SÞ.pdf
