There isn’t much good news being aired these days, which is one of many reasons I so enjoy your show! Leaves me smiling, & wishing there was more! Valur, Polly & Andy...what an amazing trio! 👏👏👍👍❤️❤️🌋
Art, Valur, I really do appreciate your volcano visits. The Covid updates are helpful too. Here in Australia we are far behind everyone else and effectively, almost, completely closed off from the world. We cannot leave, you cannot visit.To know that you are 93% vaccinated but still have Delta is important contextual information for us. Thanks. Art, your camera work is of the highest quality PLUS it is artistic. You have an excellent 'eye' through the lens. This is amongst the best camera work on UA-cam.
So Good to see you back at the Volcano and going over the latest news. It has changed so much since we first saw it on your newscast. I recently looked back at the March 20th, grapevine episode 86 - “We visited the Volcano in Iceland and it blew our mind… “ Thank You Valur and Art. This whole experience has been such an education, not just about the Volcano but about your Amazing Country, as well. I’m grateful that you allowed all of us to share this journey with you, as this “almost 5 month old Volcano “, continues to grow and change. It was awesome to see Polly join you on this trip. I needed my “daily dose “ of Polly 🤣😉🐶 Please be careful up there, Valur. 🇮🇸🙏🏼🌋
Dear Valur, Polly and colleagues, it has been such a surprise to have met you on the parking lot, the day before yesterday. Having met you, really completed our fantastic Iceland Experience last 6 days. Great to see this report on the actual Miradalur lava flow path. Like you describe in the report, at 9 in the evening the lave flow stated again. And believe it or not, from our hotel chamber (which we can recommend) we could actually ( at 2:30) witness the lava eruptions in the crater mouth!! if the vulcano keeps on growing , the view from the village Grindavik, where we stayed , will / can become even more stunning. A big thank you to all people which have given us a great Iceland experience ; family van Cappellen, the Netherlands.
Somehow you, Valur, and Art, & Polly of course, always bring a truly human perspective to the places you visit and an appreciation of the true scale of places small & intimate, and phenomena as huge as Fagradalshraun. Thank you again. I’m so glad you made it safely through the obstacle course of that path downhill, even as you spoke to camera. Genius! ❤️
From 🇨🇦: around 12:50 lol, I yelled when you almost tripped, Valur! 🤕 (Jim laughed). Don't scare the old Dutchie in Canada!😅 Again a newscast, what a treat! Thank you! Give Polly a hug from us. Jim & Ellen
Good to have you back, I could listen to you talking about Iceland for hours. We visited a few years back and it was one of our best breaks ever. Thank you
So pleased to have Valur and Polly back with us. I hope you both had an enjoyable vacation. Unfortunately the volcano was resting as you filmed but in recent days it has been quite spectacular. I guess it will not take long until some Icelandic Volcanologist comes up with a name for the volcano. I myself call it "Volcanis" purely so I can say to myself, "I wonder what is happening with Volcanis today. Keep up the great work showing us mother nature at her best. Cheers. Sam from Birmingham, England.
Another human-sized news production with Valur, Art and Polly. You three are an Icelandic treasure. Polly is a working dog and needs lots of movement, so it was extra nice to see her included in the trip. Get lots of rest everyone.
Thank You Valur, Art and Polly for the great footage, commentary and update. The amount of lava is incredible. The volcano is having a nap 🥱😴 . Amazing view of the 2nd crater. Story of guy with tractor is so funny. 🚜 Innovative but illegal. 🤣 Enjoy the warm weather. 🌞 Stay safe. 🌋
Tip: Look at the seismographic charts ahead of time to see when it's going to be active. There are multiple streams that have them on 24/7 with live data, so you can just go there to check. It's very regular, so when you see that it starts, you know that it's going to continue for many hours, and the same when it stops. The duration can vary a bit, but it's pretty easy to predict roughly when it's going to start again.
I always enjoy your posts. I left my dog in the USA when I moved to England years ago and watching that wonderful companion of yours makes me yearn for one again. Polly is such a good girl. Thank you, Valur, as always.
What an amazing background for your reporting. Polly is a cute dog and gets around very well on the rocky terrain. I do worry that one of these times someone may fall during their report while walking on rocky hillsides. Beautiful photography of the volcano and the lava.
It is so good to see you and Polly again! You love her as much as I love my pets so you wouldn’t take her where she would hurt her paws or become ill from fumes!
Thank you Valur and Art, and let's not forget Polly. Very enjoyable newscast and filming. I had been wondering if there had been many accidents with the rough terrain. In fact I often wonder if anyone would lose their footing and fall down the hill to the lava. It looks easy to stumble, and some of the walkers I have seen don't look very good on their feet.
I have missed you and Polly. The vulcano is actually funny, he wakes up, when I wake up, so I have a cup of coffee and look from Germany what’s going on. Really nice and comfortable. And the vulcano is known as RagNar, it’s a good strong name, short Nar. It’s an islandic name, isn’t it? Thank you and thanks to your drone-pilot. He makes the best views of RagNar.
I believe Rag-Nar is an unofficial name given by volcano visitors after vent 5 became the active vent. It's kind of like how vent 1 was nicknamed "Bob" and two of the others became known as "Northie" and "Southie". Not to say it could not become an official name, but currently just a nickname.
@@lovehawks2814 I know that, and the Islanders are so proud of there speech and where not amused by this name. But RagNar is a good name, maybe they can think of that. And all over the world people would be happy and have a bond to this Vulcano.
@@claudiavonkroge2793 At the beginning of the eruption, one youtuber got the permission to run live stream of the eruption. The nickname of volcano Bob came up. A Hugh group of people joined the live stream, there are also moderators. They called themselves Bob Nation. I forgot the Icelandic spelling of that channel but the youtuber's name is Ragnar. This group started to name all the vents one after another. When the 5th vent (actually there were two, so they named them Nar, Rag not to directly after him but respected him bringing the spectacular eruption views to the world.) The channel also accepted contribution and would donate to the rescue team. So, that's just, unofficial.
I can just imagine the guy and his bulldozer! What a laugh! It’s good to see you, Valur with Polly and Art behind the camera. Does he ever get a day off? There is some speculation that the volcano may become explosive as its chemistry changes. Have you heard this? I look forward to more.
Saved all videos go back and watch that first little crack and the steam coming up! What a difference now As for bull dozer man 10/10 for entrepreneur idea!
I think I've seen it said somewhere that helicopters are being advised not to land on the hill surrounded by the lava (next to the volcano) because of new cracks that have opened up on the slope facing the volcano
Notice the newly developed fissure just at the rim of the lava pool, right "in front" of the main lava tube. It was dormant as the rest of the volcano at this moment, but you could see the glow down in the hole.
You are an amazing dog owner!!! You say she’s fine I totally trust and believe you!! One video with her and anyone can see how loved and happy she is!!!! I think the drone footage is incredible!!! When it gets to the part when you can see the lava it looks like the eye of a scary beast!!! How do you say the beast in Icelandic???
LOL! "It's the same volume as before. Only difference is, its not pushing it, all the goddamn time." Perfect way to express the frustration you and many, many others have in trying to figure out its pattern and severity.
The filming (and reporting) is excellent - it looks as if you are reporting from another planet, such a different environment from the beach scene. For the Grapevine's AMA session, any chance you could address or give some Icelandic feedback about the bitcoin mining taking place in Iceland? Thank you.
Polly being tired is very different from us humans being tired. She has amazing stamina, and may just need five minutes to recover. Long walks = pure bliss
Thank you very for your information and excellent videos. My family and me visited Iceland few years ago and sure we will back to one of the most beautiful places in the world. Best regards.
Looking over the past 6 days the volcano sleeps for approximately 22 hours at a time and then is active for 12-18 hours -so 4 eruptions over the past 6 days.
The so called 'helicopter hill' is shrinking more and more. I read that there are cracks in this hill and that it might not be safe to land there because it is not quite sure what these cracks mean.
Helicopter Hill/Theatre Hill, the first, had Elton the Turbine (& weather instruments, which were removed) now overwhelmed by lava. It is the first Spectator Hill, now used for helicopter landings, that has the cracks and has just received some extra instrumentation. The saddle overflow cut off its access via Trail A
Judging from that ominous opening shot, it can't be long before something unspeakably destructive comes crawling out of that crater... you know, like a demon, fire giant or an Icelandic bank. Absolutely spectacular drone footage from Art, he is a world-class drone driver. Will we ever get to meet the man behind the camera? And it's confirmed - get your waterproofs out for September 6th - I'm doing the walking tour, so it will be raining in Reykjavík. Can't wait to meet the pair of you!
First time we've seen you, Valur, in shorts. I guess global warming has allowed this in Iceland. More great (smooth) footage by Art. I don't know how he manages to get smooth shots while also walking over the rocks and uneven landscape.
Great video to update us. It would be very helpful if you make reference to the Band C trails, for those familiar with the official map and those of us that visited in the past.
I heard on another channel that cracks were discovered in the viewing hill where the helicopters landed. When I was there mid July and end of July the helicopters didn't land but just flew over. Night time is best since it is only drones in the sky 😀
In Poland, we have a cake that looks identical to your volcano. It's called "Murzynek" . Ingredients: 2 cups of wheat / rye flour, 1 cup sugar / xylitol, 4 teaspoons of sugar with vanilla, 3 tablespoons of cocoa, 2 spoons of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of sugar with lemon peel, 1 cup of oil, 3/4 cup of milk, 3 or 4 eggs, 1 tablespoon of powdered sugar Preparation: Put all ingredients (except for powdered sugar) into a baking mold. Mix thoroughly with a mixer to a homogeneous consistency. Put them on a baking sheet lined with baking paper and put them in oven (180 degrees). Bake for 50 to 70 minutes. Check with a stick when the dough is dry - it will not stick to the stick, pull it out and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Bon Appetit 😉👍
I think the person bulldozing was trying to keep path open because probably wants it more accessible to continue bringing tourists to the area, maybe charges fee to park, though i'm not sure. The barriers put up are to protect the road which has communications buried under it that will affect Iceland in a big way if don't work because lava on top of them. Also Grindavik is very close and they need to deflect the lava away from the town site to protect Icelanders.
Once again, the video work is incredible here. That opening sequence was like hovering into Mordor itself, creepy and beautiful. Also, think about doing an AMA on Reddit (unless that's where you are already doing it)
I appreciate what he said about his dog and concerned Americans, but they have a good point when it comes to dog's paws. How dogs are treated, especially professional rescue dogs, the weather and terrain are of great concern. Dogs actually wear booties when the ground is rough or when it is ice because they can not endure undue surfaces and temperatures. It is no longer appreciated to have service animals end up with cracked and bloody paws. It is very hard to walk on these rocks and the editor-in-chief needs to get some hiking booties for his four-legged friend. :)
Fascinating video. Y'know, it'd be a hoot if you could splice together a few minutes showing the volcano from your very 1st video until now!!!! Cheers,
Art, are you aware that when you cut Valur's feet off in the frame of the camera that it makes it look like he's about to fall off the edge? You're making me nervous! 😬😳😄
Polly is a mix of breeds is'nt she? :3 she's adorable im so gratefull for anyone who's respectfull toward the volcano and its surroundings, and those who give us little actually journalism on site! :D Þakka þér fyrir (google let me know that means thank you!)
Although I hate the helicopters ruining your recordings sometimes, I hope you can take one when the volcano is active and get up close for some lava action like the old episodes! Also, welcome back. I hope your vacation was good. :-)
I applaud Art for his great camera work, smooth and steady, even following Valur over all the rough terrain.
I vote to name the volcano after Polly. Both are beautiful, energetic, unpredictable, and everyone is always excited to them!
There isn’t much good news being aired these days, which is one of many reasons I so enjoy your show! Leaves me smiling, & wishing there was more! Valur, Polly & Andy...what an amazing trio! 👏👏👍👍❤️❤️🌋

Your Welcome!!
Good to have you back Valur ,Art and Polly. Missed ya.
Awesome work Valur and Art, lovely to see Polly, what a beautiful looking sheep dog, she'd be loving the walk with her much loved owner.
Somehow you, Valur, and Art, & Polly of course, always bring a truly human perspective to the places you visit and an appreciation of the true scale of places small & intimate, and phenomena as huge as Fagradalshraun.

Hej! I'm enjoying your journalism and the way you all present your news. Best wishes!
All is well with the world! The Volcano Whisperer and his sidekick are back on the job! 🧔🏻♂️👓🦦
Thank You Valur, Art and Polly for the great footage, commentary and update. The amount of lava is incredible. The volcano is having a nap 🥱😴 . Amazing view of the 2nd crater. Story of guy with tractor is so funny. 🚜 Innovative but illegal. 🤣 Enjoy the warm weather. 🌞 Stay safe. 🌋
Hello, Can you tell me when this illegal wall was built? Please I'm sorry, I have more difficulty with spoken English than with written English 🤗🤗🙂🙏🏼

I always enjoy your posts. I left my dog in the USA when I moved to England years ago and watching that wonderful companion of yours makes me yearn for one again. Polly is such a good girl. Thank you, Valur, as always.
What a nice dog. He/She will show you the easiest way home and is always watching for a new direction to travel if needed.
Twice in a week. You are spoiling us. 🌋🐾
happy to see you back :)
Always a pleasure to here something from grapevine.... i love the positivity of this redacteur in chief, cheers from Luxembourg 🇱🇺
What an amazing background for your reporting. Polly is a cute dog and gets around very well on the rocky terrain. I do worry that one of these times someone may fall during their report while walking on rocky hillsides. Beautiful photography of the volcano and the lava.
A Great drone video of a look inside the crater cauldron while the Volcano takes a Breather until the next eruption ! Thank You !
Valur and Pollý playing is the most wholesome thing I've seen all day!
So nice to see you again, and Polly. Always enjoy your reports and your accent! 😊💖
I really enjoyed watching this again. Thanks for linking it.
It is so good to see you and Polly again! You love her as much as I love my pets so you wouldn’t take her where she would hurt her paws or become ill from fumes!

There was the american tourist who went off from his wife and got injured and a few injuries earlier in the year
Valur, Art, & Polly nice to see you all again. I enjoy your volcano tours very much. Many thanks.
When you took a holiday, I enjoyed viewing and listening to your team also.
Thanks for the update! Your dog is very sweet. Clearly she loves you a lot, daddy!
Valur, just remember that life offers endless opportunities to make fools of ourselves. I personally make full use of every opportunity provided.

I think I've seen it said somewhere that helicopters are being advised not to land on the hill surrounded by the lava (next to the volcano) because of new cracks that have opened up on the slope facing the volcano
the depth and wide in your videos are amazing.
Hello, Valur and Polly!
Incredible. I hope I can see it next year.
Love your update, thank you
nice to see you back
Notice the newly developed fissure just at the rim of the lava pool, right "in front" of the main lava tube. It was dormant as the rest of the volcano at this moment, but you could see the glow down in the hole.
Welcome back!
Stunning footage!
I bet this newscast is created a renewed big market for sheep dogs. So cute!!!
You are an amazing dog owner!!! You say she’s fine I totally trust and believe you!! One video with her and anyone can see how loved and happy she is!!!!
I think the drone footage is incredible!!! When it gets to the part when you can see the lava it looks like the eye of a scary beast!!! How do you say the beast in Icelandic???
I'm kinda hoping the volcano keeps going. Maybe becoming a tourist hotspot for many years to come.
I have read that the last volcano forming eruption in this area, about 900 years ago, lasted for 33 years. Happy trails!
Great newscast, your looking healthy Valur, yes the weahter is getting cooler here as well
The dog is the big star of the show, such a sweet dog

Poly had a blast out there!
It's been called Nar since it popped up
Yay. You're back.
Maybe there is a thin line between touching or disturbing the lava, and blocking its natural path. Is that not 6 of 1 and half a dozen of the other?
thank you. hope one day to see in person
Does the government have jurisdiction on private land in regards to the Lava?
Looking over the past 6 days the volcano sleeps for approximately 22 hours at a time and then is active for 12-18 hours -so 4 eruptions over the past 6 days.
Wonderful, again. Can you send the drone to look at the cracks in the north end of the old theatre hill please?
I think it is the old Spectator Hill that has the cracks... Gonholl
The so called 'helicopter hill' is shrinking more and more. I read that there are cracks in this hill and that it might not be safe to land there because it is not quite sure what these cracks mean.
Helicopter Hill/Theatre Hill, the first, had Elton the Turbine (& weather instruments, which were removed) now overwhelmed by lava.

Don’t you remember? The people of Grindavik named this eruption 🌋 something like “Beautiful Mountain” about 4 months ago.
I believe it's the lava field they named (Fagradalshraun) not the crater 😍🇮🇸🌋
Great video to update us. It would be very helpful if you make reference to the Band C trails, for those familiar with the official map and those of us that visited in the past.

Name it after Björk..."it's oh so quiet..."
In Poland, we have a cake that looks identical to your volcano. It's called "Murzynek" .
Ingredients: 2 cups of wheat / rye flour, 1 cup sugar / xylitol, 4 teaspoons of sugar with vanilla, 3 tablespoons of cocoa, 2 spoons of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of sugar with lemon peel, 1 cup of oil, 3/4 cup of milk, 3 or 4 eggs, 1 tablespoon of powdered sugar Preparation: Put all ingredients (except for powdered sugar) into a baking mold. Mix thoroughly with a mixer to a homogeneous consistency. Put them on a baking sheet lined with baking paper and put them in oven (180 degrees). Bake for 50 to 70 minutes. Check with a stick when the dough is dry - it will not stick to the stick, pull it out and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Bon Appetit 😉👍
It’s just a Chocolate Sponge. 👍🏼👍🏼🤣
Great video! Cannot wait to be there and pet Polly! August 16 is sooooooo far away :-)
It's so incredibly eratic.
It's Saturday today and it's Flowing like crazy.
Seeing as though this is a shield volcano, perhaps a good Viking name like Legarthe ..... shield maiden. My vote is for Legarthe.
Yes! I love it!
If it is against the law to disturb the lava, why is it legal to put up barriers to direct it's flow?
🤔
Good point.
I think the person bulldozing was trying to keep path open because probably wants it more accessible to continue bringing tourists to the area, maybe charges fee to park, though i'm not sure.
The barriers put up are to protect the road which has communications buried under it that will affect Iceland in a big way if don't work because lava on top of them.
Also Grindavik is very close and they need to deflect the lava away from the town site to protect Icelanders.
EXCELLENT😍😍🌋🌋👀👀
Once again, the video work is incredible here. That opening sequence was like hovering into Mordor itself, creepy and beautiful. Also, think about doing an AMA on Reddit (unless that's where you are already doing it)
I think Polly should have a go pro on her, just to see what adventures and shenanigans she gets up to!
I appreciate what he said about his dog and concerned Americans, but they have a good point when it comes to dog's paws. How dogs are treated, especially professional rescue dogs, the weather and terrain are of great concern. Dogs actually wear booties when the ground is rough or when it is ice because they can not endure undue surfaces and temperatures. It is no longer appreciated to have service animals end up with cracked and bloody paws. It is very hard to walk on these rocks and the editor-in-chief needs to get some hiking booties for his four-legged friend. :)
I'am a great Polly Fan. Best islandic dog I know!
Fascinating video. Y'know, it'd be a hoot if you could splice together a few minutes showing the volcano from your very 1st video until now!!!! Cheers,
8:05 I'll time stamp this for convenience.
At 5:10 does he say "It's not pushing it all the god damn time?" hahaha!
Valur Grettisson gets a nice mention in that New Yorker article called Chasing the Lava Flow in Iceland, published 8/23
Hi Polly!
Art, are you aware that when you cut Valur's feet off in the frame of the camera that it makes it look like he's about to fall off the edge? You're making me nervous! 😬😳😄
400 meters is not a mountain, not even a hill it's just a bump in the plains.
Polly is a mix of breeds is'nt she? :3 she's adorable
im so gratefull for anyone who's respectfull toward the volcano and its surroundings, and those who give us little actually journalism on site! :D
Þakka þér fyrir (google let me know that means thank you!)
Were you at Icewear on Laugavegur this evening???? I swear I saw someone that looked just like you at the checkout counter….
Although I hate the helicopters ruining your recordings sometimes, I hope you can take one when the volcano is active and get up close for some lava action like the old episodes! Also, welcome back. I hope your vacation was good. :-)
See you in June 2022. How do we book your walking tour? I miss my sheep and dogs. Are there any for rent while we are there? Dogs that is.
Awesome graphics/photography, Art! Great review Valur... I am a strong female, you can name it after me ...lol!
17:45 in the left edge of the screen, isn't that a crater?
Yes, there are 3 older, already inactive craters.
@@TheReykjavikGrapevine Thank you.
