I always thought that the Grapevine editor in chief and his videographers were a class act, but this was one of the best overviews of the volcanic system that I have seen so far. How you manage to keep walking up steep trails in bad weather and high air pollution without getting out of breath astounds me. It's very hard to give a coherent view of all this complex and changing geology, but your talk plus the breathtaking video views pulled it all together.
I agree. Very good. Very very good. Edit. The presenter carried a set of notes around and barely looked at them! Very very good. Am I getting repetitive???
yes, talking coherently toward a camera in a foreign language is difficult enough, doing this during hiking is even more difficult, congratulations Alina! Good Job!
Kudos to the camera-person who is walking backwards and sideways up a steep hill and still keeps the subject in the frame. :-) Content is always great.
That's cameraman Art. He has the ability to take these fantastic shots and never falls as he's doing it. His slow panoramas and drone shots are the best in the biz.
What a fantastic report! It's hard to believe this young woman is 'just' an intern, she's so incredibly professional and good at the job. And thank you as always to Art for the stunning visuals of the volcano area
Art needs some awards for shooting these videos. Even the last one, just walking though the park...but half the time backwards and up slopes and still everything in frame. And these volcano ones on the sides of mountains. Impressive work.
Great report, Alina, thank-you; and as always, Art is wonderful with camera and drone. 5 thumbs up for the reporting, camera/drone footage, and the nimble footwork. Take care and stay safe.
Art is definitely getting more and cinematic in his opening shots. It's like the beginning of a Ridley Scott movie, probably featuring something with big teeth - so if Polly wants to get into acting... And welcome Alina - you did a terrific job on your first video - AWESOME pronunciation! Between yourself and John delivering the news, Valur might find himself out of a job when he comes back!
Absolutely brilliant commentary and camera work as usual. The whole team is so professional and amazing in the effort they put in to bring us these broadcasts. Alina and Art, Kudo's to you for a great "Grapevine". Walking uphill in the Vog, speaking to camera, and Art, walking backwards, and around Alina, filming. Superb work both of you!
Nice job by Alina of hosting this video and just speaking without looking at a script. I’m always impressed by how so many Germans I’ve come across speak excellent English.
The whirring sound of the drone in the wind at the end is the best dystopic background music to these epic panorama shots. Thank you for another great podcast, Alina and Art!
Good show Alina! Quite a hike! Amazing drone shots. Thanks for the “don’t walk on the lava” reminders. Too many are doing it, including some popular UA-camrs.
Wanted to add that you Alina, have very good camera presence and you have a very good voice for reporting and such. I also was impressed on the amount of knowledge you ensured you had to present. Great work. I am sure this will really add to your CV and help you on your future
Magnificent and spectacular Eruption site video. All credits to the drone controller and cameraman. May this Sheild Volcano continue enlighten and amaze us.
Does anybody else realize how difficult it was to walk up a hill, watch where you were walking so as not to fall on your face, and still report useful content without notes for that length of time? Good grief that was impressive!
Love the care you take with pronunciation. The slender "r" sound at the end of a word is very like how it is said in Irish. All you might want now is your very own Pollý!
I'm very much enjoying Alina's reporting and perspective. In the US, some folks use the word 'like' way too much, just as the use of 'um' or 'em', but I'm not trying to be a jerk - just saying. I think she is doing a fantastic job, and her dialect is perfect.
There is nothing wrong with constructive criticism, in my opinion. In the long run it helps shape an ever better reporter.. a win win all the way around.
In Canada too, it's so annoying to hear that many 'like's in a conversation. I don't know how they develope such habit, cannot correctly link what they want to say then use this filler?
Great job, Alina! You make the multitasking of climbing and reporting look effortless. Also, I didn't know German is your native language. Your pronunciation in English & Icelandic seem spot on. And, I can't forget Art, who continues to show his mad skills at cinematography, including filming while waking backward over lava rock terrain! Such a talented, professional group at Reykjavik Grapevine!!! 💜🌍🌋🇮🇸🍀✌️😸
Thank you for your reporting Alina and Art, you did a great job! Kudos to Alina for talking while walking uphill, and to Art for great shots, including yet again filming while walking backwards. Keep up the good work :)
That's a great job walking and talking. You read about volcanoes in school but seeing it boiling away like a pot of water in slow motion because of the scale of it is always amazing. Assuming they are lucky enough the rocks don't break or shift I see how people are thoughtless about how fragile their boots might be if the heat melts them but that person with the long robe touching the rock is just in another world of their own.
Alina and Art, you have made another wonderful video. It's amazing how the volcano has its own pattern - quiet for awhile, then amazing fountains and fast lava flow again. Thank you, Art for your expert video and drone work - you amaze me, doing so much walking backwards! Alina, you are an excellent video presenter. I hope we will continue to see you after Valur and Polly return from vacation.
Alina is a natural! Bright future ahead for her! Love the newscasts & content throughout the week all the way from Wagga Wagga, New South Wales, Australia :-)
Very interesting. Alina did a great job and hardly no prompts from your notes. Art lovely photography of volcano as usual. Still churning out lava at good rate. What on earth is everyone going to talk about when the Volcano stops. Back to sheeps heads again!
Thank you for lots of really interesting information and details about what the volcano and the scientists are doing, Alina. And, Art - as always - your drone and video photography is AMAZING! THANK YOU BOTH!!! :-)
Great job Alina. Very professional with the information about the volcano and it's effects. Want to thank the man behind the camera who is excellent at what he does in various weather conditions. Thank you for not editing out Valur's respiratory therapy in one of the videos lol 🚬
Alina!! Bravo!! Great preparation and reporting, and I noticed you barely (if ever) looked at your notes in that single take - while hiking a steep hill!!!! Excellent work!!!
What a delightful lady presenter. She was informative, and at the same time kept the interest there. Really enjoyed it thanks to her. Can't wait to see her again. Thank you from Australia
Alina and Art...make your way to Meradalir and you will see LOTS of lava lakes and it is flowing fast and far. Ahh I see at the end you highlighted that....good going!
It is really quaint to here people in Iceland say the weather is hot when the temperature reaches 16 degrees Celsius or 60 degrees Fahrenheit. In the US a summertime high of 16 degrees Celsius would be considered abnormally cold. This week in Texas, my location the temperature routinely reaches 35 to 38 C. Now that is hot.
@@traceyhacking7109 It's been miserable and DRY in Utah for so long now. Off topic, yes, but it's a sad sign of the damage climate change is doing to our world.
Those opening shots are fantastic! The view at the 3:00 mark really gives a good impression how big the volcanoe is becoming. Great video and Alina is doing a great job!
Awesome camera work from Art and excellent commentary from Alina. Views of the surrounding area I have not seen before. Thank you but we are still waiting to see Art’s face 😁
Alina, you did a fine job with this video report. Your thoughts were well organized but didn't feel like your presentation was stiff and rehearsed. Instead, it was natural and comfortable, as if you were sharing this amazing experience with a friend who can just sit and listen. Congratulations! I'm looking forward to your next volcano report.
Thank you Alina and Art for this beautiful video. I think you have both have created something very memorable. Your dialogue Alina was very relaxed and informative and felt like a conversation. Nicely done Alina. Art your videography achieved a new level and was superb. It was atmospheric and told the story so far about this amazing eruption. You captured its essence and for the last few minutes of the video it was a treat to give the eruption the last words. Thank you to you both.
Loved your broadcast today. Great job. Very informative. Another Hawaiian word for you. What you described, a hole over a lava tube with active flow, is called a skylight. Keep up the great work.
Thanks again for such an interesting update. The volume of lava is amazing and so beautiful but must admit I’m glad Australia is past such activity . Oh and full credit to the cameraman’s footwork. Best wishes from Shoalhaven Coast Australia
What's even more impressive is that she is probably fluent in at least three languages. Obviously english and german, but we can also assume icelandic.

yes, talking coherently toward a camera in a foreign language is difficult enough, doing this during hiking is even more difficult, congratulations Alina! Good Job!
you might want to do something about the hair, a hat or band might keep you from squinting.
You did an excellent job, Alina!
Kudos to the camera-person who is walking backwards and sideways up a steep hill and still keeps the subject in the frame. :-) Content is always great.
LOL...I was thinking the same thing. She is watching every step and the camera is walking backwards. Be careful :)
They best camera action without it. I probably wouldn't watch so often. I have a short attention span. Lol
They best camera action. Without it i probably wouldn't watch so often. I have a short attention span. Lol
Yes, I secretly suspect Art is a quadraped.
That's cameraman Art. He has the ability to take these fantastic shots and never falls as he's doing it. His slow panoramas and drone shots are the best in the biz.
It's so amazing how much the landscape has changed in 4 months. Again I am so grateful to Reykjavik Newscast for their coverage. Take care.
What a fantastic report! It's hard to believe this young woman is 'just' an intern, she's so incredibly professional and good at the job. And thank you as always to Art for the stunning visuals of the volcano area
Art needs some awards for shooting these videos. Even the last one, just walking though the park...but half the time backwards and up slopes and still everything in frame. And these volcano ones on the sides of mountains. Impressive work.
Considering the wind conditions the audio quality is great. This lady is a great narrator.
Pretty impressive and kudos to Alina on great reporting!
Great report, Alina, thank-you; and as always, Art is wonderful with camera and drone. 5 thumbs up for the reporting, camera/drone footage, and the nimble footwork. Take care and stay safe.
Thank you Alina and your superb camera person Art. Excellent job from both of you.

Excellent report. Thank you Alina and Art for knowledgeable information and wonderful photography :)

The whirring sound of the drone in the wind at the end is the best dystopic background music to these epic panorama shots. Thank you for another great podcast, Alina and Art!
It's not easy hiking up hill while talking and breathing in vog! You did great, sister! Thanks for all the information and for the expansive views.
Thank you!
Good show Alina! Quite a hike! Amazing drone shots. Thanks for the “don’t walk on the lava” reminders. Too many are doing it, including some popular UA-camrs.
Alina is doing a great job, and always amazing to see Art's videography.
Thanks for the show! You do a great job of describing the eruption and including context to make it more intelligible.
Is Art walking backwards on that rough terrain while shooting Alina walking forward? Multi -multi. talented cameraman !!
He has a stabilizer-mounted camera.
I've wondered that in several videos. Reminded me of the saying, "Ginger Rogers had to do everything Fred Astaire did backwarfds and in high heels"
@@suenethercott2370 I'm not sure Art wears high heel, though
@@eljanrimsa5843 No, sturdy boots instead, which I, for one, am clumsy in, as I would certainly be in high heels.
Great job, Alina.
Impressed with the quality of information here, thank you for your efforts.
Wanted to add that you Alina, have very good camera presence and you have a very good voice for reporting and such. I also was impressed on the amount of knowledge you ensured you had to present. Great work. I am sure this will really add to your CV and help you on your future
Magnificent and spectacular Eruption site video. All credits to the drone controller and cameraman. May this Sheild Volcano continue enlighten and amaze us.
Thanks to Alina and Art. Great pictures, especially the drone shots right over the cone.
Excellent photography as always by Art. Alina is a natural talent. Informative and enjoyable report. Again.
Kudos to the intern for doing a good job filling in for her boss.
Does anybody else realize how difficult it was to walk up a hill, watch where you were walking so as not to fall on your face, and still report useful content without notes for that length of time? Good grief that was impressive!
Yeah, it's a bit difficult
Haha it was indeed a bit tough to not start panting like a dog when walking up the hill! :)
I’m am so pleased my “Don’t walk on lava” slogan is getting used I just wish some of the hikers would take notice.
Great video as always.
Love the care you take with pronunciation. The slender "r" sound at the end of a word is very like how it is said in Irish. All you might want now is your very own Pollý!

Here in the UK young people are always saying "like" !
In Canada too, it's so annoying to hear that many 'like's in a conversation. I don't know how they develope such habit, cannot correctly link what they want to say then use this filler?
Well done Alina. It is quite a tour de force to say interesting things for over 10 minutes in a row in front of a camera... while you hike up a hill.
Great job, Alina! You make the multitasking of climbing and reporting look effortless. Also, I didn't know German is your native language. Your pronunciation in English & Icelandic seem spot on. And, I can't forget Art, who continues to show his mad skills at cinematography, including filming while waking backward over lava rock terrain!

Thank you Erin! :) Art is a champ at what he is doing!
Thank you for your reporting Alina and Art, you did a great job! Kudos to Alina for talking while walking uphill, and to Art for great shots, including yet again filming while walking backwards. Keep up the good work :)
You shone as brightly as your coat, Alina. Excellent report but the real star is Art and his remarkable ability to be superb on all terrains.

Thank you, William! :)
Awesome vid. You didnt even need the paper :).. and nice drone footage. Thx
Great video. Thanks to both Alina and camera person.
i think valur can be happy this episode was great as always :)
The collapsed roof of a lava tube is called a skylight
Great all round combination of info and beautiful shots. Well done on your first solo Alina.
Very interesting. Alina did a great job and hardly no prompts from your notes. Art lovely photography of volcano as usual. Still churning out lava at good rate. What on earth is everyone going to talk about when the Volcano stops. Back to sheeps heads again!

What a trek around the volcano! The parting shots were impressive.

Great job Alina, your knocking it out of the park!
That was a very well done, informative newscast. I thoroughly enjoy watching it. View from Casper, Wyoming, USA. Thank you very much.
Thank you for this update. I look forward to it!! Great job 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
The "precious fiber optic cables" are pretty precious. Losing that means a lot of necessary connectivity disappears.
Would we lose the livecams if the fiber was destroyed or are they on a different setup I wonder.
@@ddrr5988 I think they are via cell signal, vs land line.
Great update. Thanks.
Alina!! Bravo!! Great preparation and reporting, and I noticed you barely (if ever) looked at your notes in that single take - while hiking a steep hill!!!! Excellent work!!!
Great job commentating I really enjoyed thankyou 😊
Great as always. Exceptional camera work. And Alina is a good narrator. Good job.
What a delightful lady presenter. She was informative, and at the same time kept the interest there. Really enjoyed it thanks to her. Can't wait to see her again. Thank you from Australia

Try 44 Celsius in Utah. That is uncomfortable.

The level on wich Alina manges to hide her german tongue is quite impressive 🙃
The way she says Reykjavik.... very charming.
Those opening shots are fantastic! The view at the 3:00 mark really gives a good impression how big the volcanoe is becoming. Great video and Alina is doing a great job!
Alina! Thumbs Up! You’re great!
Great job on the newscast, thank you for the updates!

I love the yellow jacket, it brightens the enviroment. Take care all
I was wonderng about the polution in Reyjavik. It's basically like having a huge factory in the backyard.
Nice and cool. Very interesting from the start to the end. Your Icelandic is great and more comprehensible for me.
Let us have a moment of admiration for the cameraman, who filmed this while walking sideways/backwards over broken rock.
Nicely done. Thx.
Great camera work, natural, well informed, presentation. Good job.👌

Very nice reporting and camera work! Thank you so much for the effort you made to hike all that way and share information with us!
Danke Sehr Alina, gut präsentiert, gut gesprochen. Ich hoffe, Sie machen mehr Podcasts
Danke Sam!
Best update on the web, thanks.
Great report. Thank you.
Great Job! Thank you for the wonderful overview of the Volcano and the information on how it is effecting people.
Impressive views and commentary. You go, Alina and Art!
That opening shot was simply awesome..
Loved your broadcast today. Great job. Very informative. Another Hawaiian word for you. What you described, a hole over a lava tube with active flow, is called a skylight. Keep up the great work.

Wow that is some major reveal at the end impressive work once again
Nice content. I can clearly picture out the area. You're doing great, it's not easy talking while hiking. God Bless you
Thanks again for such an interesting update. The volume of lava is amazing and so beautiful but must admit I’m glad Australia is past such activity . Oh and full credit to the cameraman’s footwork. Best wishes from Shoalhaven Coast Australia
Thank you for this excellent resume of recent changes and for the great views!
Holy Cow Art! What an opening shot! Unbelievable. Anyone ever got a shot like that before? Not that I have seen... Amazing Dude! Kudos.
Great job!
Another wonderfull superinteresting newscast. Thank you Alina and Art!
Great report. The photographer make it look so easy to walk around the reporter, off the trail and over the rocks!
Great report! I visited in June, and I just got the T-shirt in the post. I want to come back again!
Where I live (in Brisbane) 15c would be a cold mid winters day.
The day I can explain what VOG is in a second language as well as Alina does is the day I can say I’m truly fluent! Great video again.
What's even more impressive is that she is probably fluent in at least three languages. Obviously english and german, but we can also assume icelandic.
