- Lava hot the Eastern Wall. There has been á new arrival of lava early on May 20. This lava is still hot and I m walking by it. Yesterday I have made another expedition, number 14. I walked Langihryggur trail staring at Skála-Mælifell and returning via Nátthagi valley as last time. We had some rain yesterday but at least no, wind.

Thank you for actually going out and filming the eruption and sharing your fascination, It is great that your style is so down to earth, no hype, just your own character, humour and photography.
Thank you for sharing this amazing event that otherwise we would never experience 🙏
Dear Gutn Tog, Good Day, many thanks for the best, most comprehensive coverage of the eruption events. Thumbs up! :-)
Thank you for doing the best reporting on this volcano erupting and the wall effert to slow the flow of lava..please keep us updated .👍
Wow! You’re right… insane. It looks to me like a lot more volume. And thanks for the explaining that the sound was from the rain hitting the lava. Very interesting and informative.
These are wonderful videos. To see a volcano and a lava field grow and change bit by bit - hear little things like rain on lava and see moss smoking and heat waves from the lava, is just so interesting and real life. It's so fun!
Nicely said. 👍🏽❤️
@@Circlewisewoman01 Thank you so much!
Thank you for your regular reports Gutn tog ....give this man a thumbs up. Good job mate.
Yeah well I appreciate your appreciation and give you thumbs up. Take that.
Excellent observations and commentary, 🙏 thank you . Please keep safe distance. One pocket of exploding gas even at the very outside perimeter of this living liquid could possibly ‘interrupt’ your amazing reporting. Best, 🕊🕊🕊
Thank you so much for your great videos. Your always there for us. I'm happy for all the information and pictures for those who can't be there.
Loving these hot (literally) reports. Without extensive use of "massive, huge, big etc." but from actual person viewpoint. Cameras can give nice views but this "3D" view of all surrounding area just gives that real connection (no matter how far away we are).
I discovered myself as a Volcano addicted hahah thank you for the great videos. From all over the world, we can follow what's happening everyday, very well done.
Did u watch Hawaii cam? It was 24 hours for a time.
You're not alone! From it's conception I've been absolutely fascinated and have been coming back everyday! ... well not there there... I'm an armchair spectator 😍😍😍
You just earned another subscription.
you actually go there. Not just leaching off of the webcams.
Good work, thank you from Denmark.
"Reykjavik Grapevine" does reports from right beside the lava field. Well worth a watch. Their recent videos have amazing footage.
@@Mugdorna I am subscribing to them as well. They are my number 1.
But this channel uploads more content on the subject.
So it might be a tie.
Since I was a little kid decades ago first reading about volcanoes I learned about the Icelandic/Rift volcanos. This has been an absolute first-rate demonstration of everything I've ever heard or read about them. The life cycle of this one should be required learning in all future geology classes.
You give the absolutely best coverage of this event! Thank You!
only 5 minutes between the end of the first eruption and the beginning of the second one. crazy amount of lava wow. Th flow stopped towards the wall, that's cool. The rain helps to cool it. Funny sound.
Thank you for your filming & comments, Gutn Tog!
Wish you would try a coconut! Love to know how long before it explodes! Please keep being careful.........
This is by far the best angle anyone has taken a video from
You mean the most dangerous one? That dirt wall is totally unsafe at this point. A breakout could happen at any time. Impossible to predict..
@@astrogeo1 the whole area could erupt as anything is possible so the danger factor is quite high regardless
@@andrew2431 They would never allow thousands of people into the area if the whole area could erupt. The east wall is by far the most dangerous now. It is already run over by lava by now ( morning of May 22), and is probably given up by now. The lava is now flowing into Natthagi valley and will probably go on towards the main coastal road..
What a good video, loved the walk around the edge and seeing the lava formations as it cools, spectacular close ups. Many thanks, how else would I ever see this sight.
The glowing red eyes staring from the lava darkness, seem to say we're not done yet!
i love your voice and pictures are amazing . it’s great to just have the actual sounds instead of music over the top , it allows us to experience it with you . please stay safe .x
A lot of lava flow out of the Vulcano continuity, earth problem, also in South Italy we have plantyVulcanos actives today… thanks for interesting clips…
It gave them a chance to do a little experiment with fiber optic cable, if it would survive in the ground after the lava has covered it... the testing cable is still active so there is a chance that the real one from Grindavík would survive.
Indeed: the lava got punctured around 5 PM of the 20th and a big flow of rather fluid lava came out that now created that big pool there. Thank you!
Thank you for the update. This is absolutely amazing.
Thank you for all the great work you're doing for all of the volcano watchers around the world. Please keep it up ~ Canada.
I have had the pleasure of watching this epic event since it"s start, thanks to a group of talented, and rugged individuals, who I give a big ^5 to. Mr Gutn Tog! You have also been at the "front" giving an informative , not unpleasant ,status report. I thank and salute you Sir.
Thank you for this and other videos.
Thanks for taking the trouble to climb up the slope above the eastern wall for the view back down over the wall. Great perspective from there on what's happening. Another great video.
Thanks you for a lot of this such amazing and frequent videos! Greetings from Russia)
Amazing to see. Those glowing cracks towards the end of the video especially.
Rain on the lava sounds very interesting. Thank you for your videos.
I enjoy watching your updates of the volcano. Greetings from Cape Town, South Africa
Ur so lucky to live in S. Africa that place is in my dreams!
Greetings from Michigan
Thanks for all the updates man! You are the best one doing it! It’s several times per day. That’s really good. Greetings from the volcanic islands of the Azores, your southernmost neighbours 😋
Good camera work.
Thanks for sharing 👍
Very much enjoying your video reports, please keep them Coming.
Incredible fight between man and nature ! Loving it. It reminds me of the Etna volcano where they used to drop concrete walls to deviate the lave flow. Without forgetting the terrible experience in Vestmannaeyjar, back in the 70's
@dmaa - do you have a good link to the problems that happened in the 1970's? tyvm
Not even the rain stops you!! I am truly grateful for all you do for us. Thank you a million times ❤🙏🙏🙏👍
My friend - Thanks, so much, for the continuous reporting at the volcano. you are providing a wonderful service in the quality reports and videos. Be safe and thanks again!
The volcano, although a lady, is becoming a formable beast. Further, your videography is the best. Thank you.
Love that I’m learning so much about the nature of volcanos.
The big dragons bath is overflowing. They forgot to switch off the taps.
😃😀yep demon forgot close the tap
Hi. My name is Lavender, and I'm a volcaholic. Thank-you, GutnTog, for feeding my addiction. Great videos.
It's ok Iceland...our wall in America didn't work either
At least they got one built
😆
Thankyou for showing us.
Your comments bring us so much knowledge. People look so Tiny !!! Compare with all Volcanoes and Mountaines around!🌋
Thank you so much for your filming & comments. Would you please do your camera-movements, if you can, slowlier? it would more interessting to see all details. Gutn Tog!
ThNk you. It’s so frighteningly beautiful. Man thinks he’s so clever and along comes Mother Nature and says “ see what I can do?” Amazing. Thank you 🙏🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Sure are a lot of trees in your country. Great video. Thanks muchly.
They cut 97% of them down as soon as they got there.
@@snowmiaow Yes. Literally.
Lost 40% of topsoil too. That shocks me because I know Norway / Sweden / Finland had strict cultural and RELIGIOUS taboos against cutting down too many trees. So I'm wondering if the settlers were Danish Vikings (flat country).
Trees hold mountains up, hold topsoil in place.
In pagan times, cut down too many trees and you'd be hung as an offering to Odin.
When humans first arrived almost 40% of Iceland was covered with massive Birch forests
@@veramae4098 We need that rule still.
When l see the barren terrain l want to go there and make it bloom again.
That sizzling in the background sounded like you were cooking bacon the entire time, lol 🥓😋
Damn it! Now I'm craving bacon! 😂🤣😂
I'm hearing a helicopter.
So weird how it filled up the dam like that, i wonder what else they can do now? Thanks Gutntog , You're our ' man in the field' :-)
I'm still hoping for bridge over a lava canal
@@velianlodestone1249 Can't happen. The heat & instability of lava flows are too challenging. They'd need massive & deeply imbedded supports at each end of the bridge... But where to put them? The helicopters & planes cannot fly low over the gaseous intensely hot lava, so a bridge would be over it would be melted before it could be built.
My 3 kids are enjoying your volcano updates almost as much as me! Thanks so much! 🤩
thanks for the Vidja very nice
Excellent coverage of the situation.
We can hear it sizzling in th rain.
Thanks for your updates. You clear up things for us observers from far away.
I'd love to hear a 10 hour rain recording on that lava. It's magnificent!
Good work !👍👍👍 Nature is not easy to get stopped!!
The fact that the lava is quite a few metres higher just behind the remains of the wall suggests there is little long term hope, unless the effect is to channel the lava in the other direction towards Meradalir valley instead.
You are The Man on The Scene! tyvm!
Wow...that was fast! Thank you for your updates. In New Zealand our volcanoes are explosive, and we’ve never seen one that acts like a belching dragon! So we’re loving your footage.
Best, most dilligent volcano reporter in Iceland right now. Gutn Tog!
Fantastic!! I'm surprised that they aren't plowing down surrounding hillsides to 'pinch' the lava flow, instead of digging and pushing up the ground in front. Plowing down the hillsides might present a larger gap, though, so that IF the lava flow continues and will eventually overtop all levees, then the lowered hillsides will be next. "Do we sacrifice hillsides now, or later when they're half-submerged?"
Fantastic!
Wow
Rain on lava...not a sound I had ever heard before. Fascinating!
Just a matter of time to get through. Thank you❤🙏🙏🙏
straight thinking tells me that walk won’t hold back this movement and scale of lava .. it’s massive .
I think you're right. This just seems to be an overwhelming job. But the engineers are giving it 100%.
If there was somwhere to divert it...its just a juggernaut!
We are living on a giant bomb
It didn't. The molten rock is now flowing freely into the next valley, and closer to the road. Check it out. ua-cam.com/video/NG2cDRvRsAo/v-deo.html
Am just thinking of all the crystals that could be forming within these lava spills.
Hopefully they are planning what to do with the fiber optics, etc that they are trying to save while trying to slow the lava flow.
What everybody else said: Thx for keeping us in the loop!
Real good angle to see everything at the start
In Hawaii the molten lava like here travelled miles under the surface layer and burst out over land or into the ocean. If the wall is breached and the lava starts down hill I think a molten river will flow out of the lava field and down the valley.
Years or decades later sometimes you can walk along those perfectly formed tube like tunnels where the lava flowed inside the flow
This is the first time you actually sound worried
Y'all stay safe.
From the Cherokee of Western North Carolina
May God bless and keep you all
that sound is amazing
Thank you for continuing to give us the best volcano coverage! Up close and personal, please be careful!
Nice bit of topsoil there.
Very cool ! Been watching all your posts. Can’t imagine how it smells though?
I didn't smell any special smell when í went there, you would want to keep away from any lowgrounds where gasses collect, which woukd probbably smell if sulfur and the likes
@Mickey Smiths told me some days ago when I asked the same question, that it smells like it does when glass is being blown (it is molten silica...). And there’s a smell to poisonous gas as well, so one cannot be on the side of the wind.
Amazing videos and thank you for your time. I visited the volcano twice and understand how much time and effort it takes just to get there.
Trying to stop a lava flow. SMH.
The green color may be due to ferric and/or ferrous chloride, perhaps hydrated. The metallic sheen may be a thin layer of glass (obsidian).
Thank you for sharing. This is so fascinating. Just a reminder that the world is ever changing.
Thank you for your ongoing reports but always remember to keep your safety first.
Thanks for the excellent coverage!!
Awesome!👍👍👍🇮🇸💙🇳🇴
And Thank You for sharing👌
How did it fill up so fast? The volcano must be putting out an amazing amount of lava!!!
Nice job! Thanks for the close-up tour. I was amazed that you could walk across the earthwork berm. Stay safe out there... I look forward to hearing the results of your experiments.
Thanks for the close look. Stay safe.
I only watch your channel because I think your filming & comments are the best !!
My suspicions were that the man-made walls won't hold...
I think I might be correct?
Thank you for taking us on your hikes to see all the areas of the lava fileds...
Thank you for your dedication to show us the volcano !!💞Vivi 💞
Have fun with your experiments and thank you so much for your awesome footage.😊👍💖 The rain hitting the lava rocks sounds pretty cool 😎❤️
I just found this going on. Thanks for your reporting👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼😉
You are asking all the right questions. I am an earth science teacher, now retired. I like your Icelandic sense of humor and forthright comments. I too have little faith in the human wall. I will be coming in July to hopefully see the volcano still on fire.
thanks for your excellent reporting, I enjoy you video updates every day
Thank you for this video. Its very interesting and informative. I'll never will see or learn about it here in Texas. I Love video like this. Please be very careful and stay safe. May God Bless you and everyone in that little city.
I would say your culinary experiments are extraordinary!
magnificent !
Wow, thanks for the update!
Subscribed!
BE SAFE OUT THERE.
Wow, the stunning awesome power of Mother Earth, totally relentless.
Wow, the spray of lava at 9 minutes, crazy!
🇧🇷 really nature is amazing. It surprises us by showing all power, grandeur and beauty. The eruptions are being filmed, for future generations to study the phenomenon as we study today. Hug
You are doing a great job GutnTog sharing the volcano update with us. From Australia take care and sway safe
Wow, its already up that wall? Holy hell on earth, lava seems to be unstoppable which is scary bcuz its something humans cant control which is what i love about it.. thanks for these videos
Hi, if the volcano will continue to spill such big quantities of lava now, you may need something of the size of the Hoover Dam to stop it :-( If lava comes directly from the mantle, from the depth of 20 km, having in mind the inertia of millions of tons of the rising lava plume, the present eruption might be just small warming up test before the main release of the lava.
,but is not a dam as such, it is a diversion wall like you will put on the banks of a river to make it flow in a different direction.
Basically they want the lava to flow down into the next wally where there is a lot more space and much longer down to the road.
@@bknesheim It still is not high enough to act as a diversion. The lava will flow over this diversion wall.
@@puppyupper4565If I should guess so it that the reason the keep on working on it,
As it was said in the video, the path from the smaller embankment do not fall directly into the valley so they should have a little margin on that side.
Also it have already done some work and stop last night lava from streaming down at that side, Not by a great margin, but the lava stopped. That might give them a few days to enlarge the wall.
@@bknesheim the only way they can enlarge that now is to take earth from the hillsides. But that would be a massive project. I understand they made that berm to flatten out the flow so it cools faster and thus moves slower. I think they were hoping to change the course of the lava to go a different direction up stream. Perhaps they have accomplished that but I doubt it. My guess is the lava will be running down that berm in 2 days. Then they will have an incredibly hard time stopping or diverting it at that point. I would have thought they would have tried to divert it at the top to go into a different valley. They could have dug a huge trench to the valley then blew up the side of the volcano to let the lava flow out that side. But I don't think their berm is high enough to alter the flow above. Have an awesome day. We shall see what the weekend brings. I do appreciate they tried to alter the course. I lived in Hawaii for 8 years and to many Hawaiians the lava is sacred and diverting it or even altering lava is highly frowned up. There is a wonderful inland harbor on the Big Island that was cut out of a large lava field many years ago. That could never happen today. Even though the lava field had such little diversity of life in it, and the harbor now cut in it has incredible diversity, they still think the lava is more sacred then the life now present.
