Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 кві 2021
- In this edition, we visited the newest fissure in the Fagradalsfjall’s volcanic system and witnessed an amazing event when the top of the volcano broke and the lava tide streamed down claiming the land all around where we had stood but minutes before. You'll see a unique images of the event, when the lava streamed down melting snow and eating up the ground. We also visited the dwarfish third fissure. Shortly after we left the area, a fourth fissure came up between number 2 and 3. All this and more in the Reykjavík Newscast.

your reports are award winning , so very well done.... your team should be honored
Indeed, I love the camera work and the enthusiasm shown, it is like being up there with your best friend.
Although every time the Grapevine goes up there a new volcano forms shortly after. I think they must have very heaving hiking boots and they are causing new fissures with all their stomping about ! :)
totally agree in that!
Good stuff A

Can feel the warmth of your country from Wales GB, and I'm not talking about the heat of the lava flow, stay safe Icelanders, another great update ❤❤
This is the best video footage yet of this most spectacular geologic event. Your reportage is truly excellent. Your cameraman is doing a wonderful job capturing the event. Your drone footage was absolutely stunning. Watching this at 5.00am in the morning on my 75"TV is almost as mesmerising as being there which I had the privilege of doing back in 1985 on a modelling assignment, where I spent an entire Saturday evening watching super 8 footage of someone's videos of the volcanoes of Iceland. That memory has stuck with me ever since and your continuous footage since the start of this current series of eruptions has me mesmerised again. Greetings from the Train Lord in South Australia. Keep up the good work. Well done again!
It sure is, it's amazing! I hope everyone is safe. grandma deb
Astonishing! How lucky that you were there just as that huge breakout happened. For once you were speechless! And that's no problem, because no words were needed.
That's what I also thought
It is a rare presenter who knows when to be silent and out of shot. This is a great show. There should be awards for this.
@@suenethercott2370 Silent, yes, but I would hope even the most common presenter would know to be out of shot for *this*.
Americans take note. You don't need to blab on about the obvious continuously.
@@TheAverageGuy12 People who were raised by televisions don't know how to stop talking.
I don't have the words to best compliment the photography and drone footage, it is so on point with every angle and the sounds captured. I had to stop early to write this compliment. Going to watch the rest of it now.
Love the view
Please keep being the boy at the volcano for all of us. Thank you!
Those pictures with real sound from after the wall broke was totallay incredible. Please never take this video down. I have to watch that over and over again.
The sound is incredible.
This is amazing. And you had such good timing! Where Valur was standing- that's the last time anyone will get to stand there for the foreseeable future. Thank you for these great shots, Art. Stay safe but keep these updates coming, we appreciate them and you. I can't wait to see it for myself.
And that i why you never turn your back on an active flow....breakouts can happen at any time and can even flow faster than this one did.
And I thought it looked like a alligator with a long toothy snout when that piece popped out😁 Enjoying this wonderful, historic time thanks to you beautiful local citizens. 💜🥶🔥
Yuge kudos to the cameraman, this is keeper content, thank you both.
Yuge 👌
Ah-ha! Now we know how Art is able to get such smooth shots, he tells you to walk slower. :) I don't envy you two the hike back in the dark on a rocky improvised trail. Thanks for the update and stay safe out there.
What a really warm delightful enthusiastic and informative chap ... human, intelligent and with natural ability...thanks so much for your excellence and you REALLY DESERVE A PRIZE for your professionalism and exemplary knowledge ...you’re a natural..Well Done and looking forward to your next fantastic instalment..take care .
Wow!! Some of the most amazing footage ever filmed. You were so lucky to have been at the right spot at the right time when the lava lake wall broke! I eagerly await every single one of your UA-cam broadcasts.
Absolutely incredible. Thank you for this world class coverage. I have been so grateful to be able to join you all in this wonderful journey so far and witness this together even though travel to Iceland is not possible for most of us.
We are mesmerized right along with you Valur!
The footage you guys shoot would be right at home in an award-winning nature documentary. It's breathtaking!
Yes, I agree
Falling in love with Iceland because of this channel
Same! I’m not ruling out a trip there someday!
I've loved all of your pieces but this one was special! Spectacular!
Awesome!! I started watching you a couple of weeks ago and get excited when I see you have a new video. Thank You so much, not just fantastic footage but great explanations. Warmest greetings from Wales.
probably the best content out there. Im sure newsgroups will be using this footage world wide
Thanks, Valur and Art. Brilliant footage and an excellent commentary - talk about WOW! moments. Hugs for the safely absent Morale Officer.
Talking to the camera with your back turned to an active lava flow is quite something.
Very few people will be privileged with that experience.
Stupid comes to mind.
The cameraman would warn him if there was anything coming.
@@jeantolman7660 You think that dodging a lava bomb is a slow motion exercise?
@@Matira269 I wrote an answer to this and it seems to have disappeared, so I'll write it again. If it shows up twice - Sorry. I agree with you, Samira, that dodging a lava bomb is not a slow motion exercise. In fact, I have deleted my comment from above in this thread. Thank-you. I did think once that he was rather close to the lava which he said could burst out.
Many thanks from the UK. Well done for capturing such amazing footage.
Another superb report Valur. Of all the channels, I look forward to your reports the most
Mesmerising stuff. Takk! You guys deserve a major media award for your informative and entertaining coverage of this event. I cannot wait for the next broadcast!
Thank you, Valur and your amazing photographer. I am really enjoying your presentation of this fiery aspect of our Mother Earth-from the comfort of my living room! Wonderful reporting!
National Geographic worthy IMO! For so many reasons.
Dear Lord - Valur and Polly have opened a gateway to the Underworld.
BTW - from a geologist - that was a really nice explanation of why this volcano is different.
The technical explanation for why this is an odd eruption is that the magma is very 'primitive'. Which means that it has only just separated from the solid Mantle rather than hanging around in a magma chamber somewhere in the Crust. The magma is very rich in olivine and is close in composition to a rock called picrite. It is also *really* hot - about 1200C. As it rises through the Crust, it is passing through rocks with lower melting points which means the magma is eroding the channels, so more magma can come up.
As more magma rises, it reduces pressure on the hot, solid Mantle. Lowering pressure but keeping the temperature the same, means that some of the Mantle melts, producing more magma, which rises up, reducing pressure, more melting...
So this eruption could go on for a very long time.
Perhaps even long enough for us to get out of lockdown!
The mark of an excellent producer..after that break out, he let the images talk for him, so we could all just be in awe of this event. Just Gorgeous images, and planning to make that Drone footage as a wallpaper. It's so good.
Fabulous sights and footage. This volcano is both mesmerising and terrifying. Thank you for your work and willingness to share with us/we who cannot be there 🤩💐
When basaltic lava cools, it forms a crust of black glass. The crackling sound is the sound of the glass crust breaking, as the lava slowly moves forward.
When I was watching 2018 Kilauea coverage, I believe I heard them call those "clinkers." 😎
Basically mother nature breaking the glass ceiling
the sound is so special! 😍
Isn't that called obsidian?
I’m a 60 year old boy and want to be there just for an hour... stay careful Greatings from Luxembourg 🇱🇺 europ where many icelandics live
moien!
Valur (and sometimes Polly), your videos are informative, fun and so amazing. I’ve watched all that I can find but #93 was the best! Keep them coming, please!
Thank you Valur and Art! Whenever something else interesting happens there (which seems to be almost hourly at the moment!), my husband and I say “oh, when will Valur and Art do another newscast to explain this to us?” These shots are absolutely stunning Art. Stay safe both of you. With best wishes from Herefordshire, UK (last known volcanic eruption here - a long time pre-Ice Age!)
Incredible footage!
I just had to make my room completely dark, turn up the volume on my headset and listen to the crackling of the glassy lava and the deep blowing of the wind.
And of course thank you for throwing a snowball at the lava stream!
I think most of us had the urge to see that happen! :D
The drone footage at the end is wonderful, you can see how much volume of lava burst out in that short time. Phenomenal, but also scary!
Indeed so - like the warning when next to big waves at ocean, don't turn your back too long as waves may wipe you out!!
Lava same if not MORE so dangerously, so watched you intensely as you got another great, detailed update video report! Great timing with the lava pool breakaway on #2, just awesome!!
Thank YOU AND YOUR CAMERAMAN & BE SAFE! CHEERS!!
Just absolutely amazing volcanic activity! I wish I could be in Iceland to witness it live. The Earth is an amazing place. Stay safe to all my Icelandic friends! Oh and please thank your camera man for the excellent shots.
You are giving the world a window into creation. You are blessed to have been there at the right time in this generation. Thanks for using your skills to share this with us. It's unforgettable. Greetings from New Zealand.
Thank you for taking time out from talking and letting us hear the lava.
Amazing piece of volcano footage and the drone video was just beautiful. I hope you guys get nominated for an award for this coverage!
WOW!!...i wish that I was there with you...a marvellous report your enthusiasm is just as warm as the lava...love from Scotland...
I love your reports so much and I had to watch this one again and again! Videos that are made with so much dedication and convey so much enthusiasm are really special.
Thank you, Valur and Art, for showing us this amazing, wonderful and breathtaking volcano up close. The recordings on the ground and in the air are simply fantastic.
And I smiled a lot about the nicknames for number 3 and the "snow experiment" ...
Stay healthy! Warm greetings from Germany
Your reports are so welcomed and may I say the drone coverage was amazing. Thank you so much.
I don't know what award you could win with your footage, but I hope you get it.
The Nobel Prize?
The Pulitzer Prize would be in order if he's eligible. This is also valuable scientific data, l'm sure.
Wow! You guys really know how to run a newscast. Three, no FOUR fissures! Awesome coverage!
Wow, such an incredible moment captured on camera!
Thank you for allowing us to see this as it’s happening. Please stay safe!!!
I can't imagine how the cameraman can do this without stumbling! Thanks!
Thank you, Valur, for the great reports and filming of Iceland’s volcanic activity. It was very considerate of you to warn against taking children 👶 to see these volcanoes 🌋 as they are especially vulnerable to poisonous ☠️ gases coming out of them. Take care 👍!!
We haven’t had a volcano in Australia for quite a while so thanks for allowing all of us downunder to share in the majesty of this primal scene!
Ditto 🇦🇺
I am really enjoying these reports on the volcanos, thank you for doing this under difficult conditions. I turned on the closed captioning and it's very funny what the automated captioning does with the Icelandic words!
Yes, I've noticed that, too. It is good comedy.
I need to try that 😆 thanks!
There is NO way I would stand in the path of a lava flow. I'd have nightmares of tripping, falling, and not being able to get back up. Thank you for doing it so I don't have to!
Best channel covering this in my opinion this guy is very informative and keeps it in layman’s terms.
Thank you both for hiking back and forth and back and forth to give us such fantastic information and footage! WOW!!! I would start a crowd-funder to get you guys a winterized tent so you could report live 24/7, but I suspect you wouldn't be up for that! ;-) Thank you again and KEEP SAFE!!!!
AMAZING!!! Thank you for bringing us this footage. Greetings from America💖🇺🇸 Stay safe folks🙏
Thank you for the best reporting from the volcano & footage. Each day I check in from here in Sydney to see this truely awe inspiring natural wonder.
Hola from Madrid, Spain. I love your reports and your accent!!!
Love your coverage of this Volcano! Your explanations of the activity help people like myself who have never experienced a volcano. Great job! Please keep reporting!
Well done again Valur and Art. Who throws a snow ball into a volcano? Fantastic!!
Such an exciting visual opening view. Thank you for dealing with all the hazards associated with your easy to understand on scene report.
Every new report I watch of yours, my respect and appreciation deepens. I am glad you and your camera person, and any others you might have, are making the hike out to the volcano to create reports for us. I am in Kentucky, USA. There are plenty of videos. Sometimes I watch the live streams. However, I love your commentary and what you put together to show us. Thank you.
Much appreciated
And each time you are able to come back, surely the landscape has become new and unfamiliar. What will another week's time bring, we can wonder.
I wonder what the yellow flames are; what gas is burning to give the yellow?
Greetings from Luxembourg. Thank you for the most amazing video. Keep up your reporting on developments with the new volcano.
From Australia again.....OMG...this report is on another level ! Amazing, superb, fascinating,......you get the picture. How wonderful for you and your photographer to be present at this monumental moment in your history.....something you will never forget. Many thanks to all of your team!
Wow, thank you
Mesmerizing!!! Fabulous - thanks to you, Valur, and to Art for the amazing footage! And to think all of this will have changed again within hours and days! 😍🌋
Man I just love the way this guy describes what's going on with this volcano. It's so clear and informative and compelling all at once.
Down to Earth and unpretentious: it is what it is...
Amazing footage, both on the ground as well as with the drone, thank you so much, also for your explanations. I can understand that people spend hours there, it's hard to leave, cause it's so beautiful and like you said mesmerizing.
Wow, this was amazing, capturing the burst behind you, please be careful, thank you for this, enjoying all of your videos
Amazing, thank you. Great work from yourself and your cameraman, and so enjoyable for us sitting at home in various places around the world.
My favorite transmission from the volcano so far! Great work! Thank you!! 🌋
Thank you so much for not over-sensationalizing your videos or titles...truly appreciated. Another channel titled it "UNBELIEVABLE! MASSIVE ERUPTION" And one of the first things you say is that it's the smallest volcano you have ever seen. 💪👏👏👏
What an amazing video capture of that burst of lava Valur. Enjoy all your videos but I think this one is the best. Thank you and your camera man for such a good job. I enjoy the education you are giving about volcanoes also.
Wow, thank you so much for your coverage of the volcano, the drone footage was amazing, l can't believe that it's so young.
Wow again! You were so fortunate to get these amazing moments on film... Your cameraman/woman? is doing a great job.
I wish I could be there but your reporting is a great substitute!
thank you for all the nice video's, greetings from the netherlands !!
You have created a world-wide group of volcano and lava addicts! Fantastic work, be good to meet the invisible cinematographer!
OMG WE HEARD ART SPEAK!! Gaurar, þið eruð SVO frábærar! I would literally happily watch you present drying paint with your inimitable style, but these stunning casts you are doing...ambassador, you are spoiling us! Highlight for me was "We got this small bastard here..." Just fantastic, love you guys and the whole Grapevine team! 😍🇮🇸🌋📰
Thank you for sharing this eruption with us, Valur. It is definitely mesmerising.
your enthusiam has kept me obsessed with the development of this eruption thank you and your excellent cameraman even if he did tell you to slow down in a bossy manner hehe Keep the content coming I love it.
I am quite content to stay home and watch your excellent coverage of the volcanoes on UA-cam! I think we get the best views from here! Thank you so much.
What an amazing stroke of luck to see that lava break happening. Incredible footage and camera work. Can't wait for the next report.
This has got to be my favourite Grapevine newscast - and that says a whooole lot! I stumbled upon The Reykjavik Grapevine while researching before going to Iceland for a fly over of the Holuhraun/Bardarbunga eruption 2014, and have followed you guys ever since. The enthusiasm, humour and warm spirit always speaks to me, and having you right there for the glorious events that this eruption has (in store...) for us, I am very grateful for, so: Thank You
Thank you for your superior coverage of this historic event. Outstanding and informative video, extraordinary commentary, and homegrown humor that's supremely enjoyable 😊👌🌋
Complete agreement.
I enjoy your reports very much. I'm glad you were there to share this extraordinary lava flow with us. The camera work is excellent. My compliments to the camera people. I'm going to watch this again.
That is amazing footage! You can really get a new perspective of what is going on. The drone footage is beautiful!
You are my favourite Icelanders! Your coverage of the volcano has entranced me but this time you have excelled yourselves! I hardly need my Polly mug to maintain my morale. From another Nordic cousin in Hjaltland.
Hey Cuzz. I wholeheartedly agree with you! Polly and Valur are the best!
We always need that Pollý mug to maintain the morale. Glad to hear though, and I love the Hjaltland Islands by the way. Best regards.
The background is crazy, like a sci-fi movie.. Great review, great update. We will like to come in Iceland ,you are wonderful People.. Take care
I know he's probably used to this, but I don't understand how you can just casually stroll by "mini-me" as it's actively spewing lava and not just be speechless ❤️
I guess he wanted to talk about it as well, but then the huge breakout from No 2 just distracted him. I understand your fascination with MiniMe. It's just so cute compared to the others and yet - it's a volcano...
@@littleerichsenstudios2292 Oh I understand. I guess because I've never in my life experienced anything like this, I would just be totally awestruck and quite unable to string words together!😊
Keep expecting to see Frodo Baggins on a boulder in the flow.
Give it a few days and The Internet will probably give us that meme.
The baby volcano reminds me of the elementary school volcano experiment using baking soda and vinegar. Thank you for reporting this exciting experience for us!
Tosses a snowball into the lava, “I’m only a 40 yo. boy.” As we all are. ;)
There’s a kid in all of us!
I’ve got twenty years on him and I would absolutely be tossing snowballs in!!
@@RoxnDox, yep! Exactly!
73 yo female and would toss a few snowballs into the lava, given the opportunity. Please toss a few for me!?
I would have been more impressed if he peed on it lol
Valur and Art, you two (wait...how can I forget Poly) you three are my new hero’s :)
Excellent point about bringing children to the area ~ Stay safe yourself ~ Also besides the visuals, thank you for taking the time to just listen. This gives me goosebumps hearing the earth sizzle!
Stunning. Thank you for being there to show us all.
It looks like in a dream, where you walk casually around small erupting volcanoes like everything is normal :) Cute volcano indeed!
Your videos are the most interesting about these eruptions. I like your sense of humor and how you explain things. Keep up the good work
Valur... You make me feel like I've made a really great friend in Reykjavik and he's sharing everything that is going on. I feel like I've been there... and that's wonderful. Thanks again ! I'm hooked !
Haha, that's wonderful. And I feel the same in this UA-cam/RVK Grapevine community. Thank you for the kind words.
Wanted to add my appreciation to you for sharing such amazing photos and commentary. An award winning report!
It’s not often a reporter actually stops talking and let’s the action speak for itself
Yes it's adorable, it looks like a science fair project🌋
LOL
This is my favorite site to see the volcano and hear the news. Thanks for sharing this with us!
11:00 " Wow.. look at that! It really busted out." Yes..yes it did.. and brother, you are standing on exactly the same possibility. But man!!!! Absolutely increeedddiiibbllle footage!! Thanks!! Even the background crowd audio. Gorgeous!
