The Fagradalsfjall Volcano Revisited With a Thermal Drone Camera
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 вер 2024
- Shot with the thermal drone over the largest crater from the 2021 eruption and it's possible to see how it has cooled down. I have to admit that i had some problems there and failed to get all the shots I wanted due to all this switching back and forth between the cameras, however, it was sunny and therefore not the best conditions for thermal view so it's a good reason for me to go back soon.

Greetings from Iceland
Gylfi
Oh - that final shot. Says it all WITHOUT the thermal camera!
I did a long low pass tour with the other drone and will be uploading the video very soon
@@JustIcelandic Awesome, I will check your channel for that one!
Yes, that closing shot is really nice.
@@JustIcelandic, how hot is it really? Is it too hot to touch or safe to walk on? Brittle or solid?
Did we just time travel?...Back to a time when the Earth was new, and volcanoes ruled the landscape (?). Your shots are pretty amazing, and your video presentation is the best, especially with the inset. 🤗
🤗 thanks a ton, I did a more cinematic tour on the other drone and working on that video, coming soon :)
Yeah Gylfi that was cool. That thermal cameras fun😂
Only fun :)
Fascinating! Looking forward to more. Cheers.
Cheers :)
Thank you for flying your drone over the crater from the 2021 eruption. It's interesting to see there are still hot areas. Shame the crater was not one of them!
The 2022 lava field is overlapping some of the 2021 lava so I need to do anther tour when it's colder outside to map this better, this was more of a test tour
@@JustIcelandic early morning would be the best time, before the surface of the lava has time to warm up in the sun.
incredible, thank you Gylfi.
😎 welcome
Excellent work and beautiful, fascinating footage.
Thanks a ton :)
@@JustIcelandic You're most welcome! Your work here really is first class, in terms of the quality of information you portray, the tenacity and creativity that you bring to it and of course your wonderful sense of humanity and humour, which represents the Icelandic culture and outlook (and your good self) so positively. The Icelandic Ministry of Culture and the Tourist Board should give you a salary!
That's amazing!
Thank you :)
Outstanding imagery! This drone is a jewel for your work.
Just learning how to use it but this will for sure do a lot for the channel in future :)
Just wow …….
Welcome :)
Gylfi your videos are just amazing. I’ve been watching for 18 months now and think they are next level professional, way beyond just a UA-cam channel. Many many thanks and please keep going.
Great to see this updated and thermal view, great job.
😊 thanks a lot
Great drone footage. Thanks so much for sharing the thermal video - very interesting!
👍 welcome
The thermal image gives so much additional information. Nice to see the crater of 2021 again and the lava field of 2022 shows clearly hotter than the 2021 field. Looking forward to more 😁
Coming soon :)
Woohoo! I was waiting for you to share this. It is awesome. Thank you for sharing your love of your nation, the land and lava with us.
Enjoy your new "toy"
Thanks a ton 👍 and greetings from iceland
It would be great if you could add a temperature-scale for the colors, so that we know what color means what.
Also, keep in mind, that the material itself has an effect on the displayed color, due to reflectivity etc.
Still learning :)
The redder the colour the hotter the temperature. That's how thermal cameras see.
@@Oyasumi52 but the colors are associated with a temperature, depending on the settings of the camera.
@@Yaeko275 Yes, yes it is. 🙂
@@JustIcelandic Temperature scale is a great idea. I was going to write a comment about it, but well... I was 5 hours late. I don't know how your camera works exactly, but in many models you can chose a point on a screen from where camera will read more precise temperature. In more static shots like in 0:49 it would work. But whether you add this, or temperature scale it still will be amazing.
Thermal camera was great for visualizing the interior of the crater, which I guess is an unexpected bonus :)
Keep up the good work!
Just starting, had limited time to work with this time but know know how to do the next flight
Love the overlays!
Thanks :)
Oh thank you, thank you. That was so nice to see the RagNar again!😘
Welcome :)
Amazing stuff going on here, thanks to a dear friend sharing this video I wouldn't have seen this!! I'm a subscriber now, thanks!! I'm loving the thermal drones too!!
Thanks and always welcome🤗
It's so good to see our beloved volcano again. Maybe by winter you will have a better understanding of the new drone and all it's capabilities. Let's face it, you have started on an adventure which has quite the learning curve. I'm so happy for you. I do hope you are enjoying the process. Every time I view one of your videos I think to myself, "This is history in the making."
Lets hope so, I'm sure trying enough :) and greetings from Iceland :)
Another excellent creation, thank you Gylfi!
😁 welcome
Exceptional footage! Thank you so much!
👍 welcome
Thank you!
😊 thanks for stopping by
Interesting 🤓 And the steam still keep coming up. To cool it will take some more time obviously. Thanks for your work 👍
👍 thanks
Each time you use your thermal drone is another step up the learning curve, Gylfi. Some days are definitely going to be better for thermal imaging than the wonderful HD video it also produces.
I have lots to learn about the cameras :) but it's coming little by little
Amazing video - I love the thermal camera!
Thanks a ton :)
Fantastic. The thermal drone will be well used in Iceland. I just returned from there on Sunday. I want to go back…soon.
😊 welcome to Iceland, again :)
This was incredible! Thank you!
👍 welcome
Very cool! Great work!
Thanks :)
Thank you so much for this. It was great to see where we hiked last summer as well as the parts ee didn't get to
Welcome :)
One hell of a camera, I was amazed to see the flows still steaming. I am guessing we all wonder whether it'll ever spark in to action again.
It would not surprise me....
Wow this is amazing. Thank you sir👏👍
👍 welcome
Very, very cool! As usual, your photography and videography are fantastic.
Thank you :)
Thank you! I’m not surprised things are still somewhat hot. Beautiful drone photography!! Love the thermal imaging too 😉
Thanks :)
Your presentation is amazing. Inserts, identifying captions and more. I'm not knowledgeable to be more specific.
This creates a captivating subject.
More soon :)
Thank you, Gylfi. I found your channel in March 2021because of your Fagradalsfjall content. Very glad I subscribed. Looking forward to the next IR footage of that location.
Coming soon and greetings from Iceland :)
Every bit as awesome as I knew it would be!! Thank you!!
😁 thanks
Amazing amount of energy still stored there.
We will see it better when I hike up there later this summer, need some more time with the thermal drone there
Thanks!
Thanks a ton for your very much appreciated support and greetings from Iceland :)
Absolutely stunning thank you watched it erupt from the very beginning back in March 2021 amazing how the landscape has changed from that day
Thank you 😁
Thank you for this look at the volcanic landscape. I hope that in a year you will return and do another video so that we can see any changes that may have occurred. 😊
I will actually do more videos there soon, lacked time to do everything I wanted to do this time son will be back there soon :)
Thank you for approaching this from the artistic side. You compositions of visual spectrum, IR, and sound are beautiful.
Also, thank you for not turning your videos into random data points in a haphazard analysis.
I see many people misunderstand the information thermal cameras bring so they ask for absolute data when relative data is what we should feast on here.
Nice footage! I am verry curious how the meradalir crater will look like! 😉🤔😏
I took the other drone for a spin too, more landscape style in that video I will be uploading soon
WOW! They say it will be hot for many years but I'm kind of surprised by how much gas is still coming out of it. I would have never ever guessed that the rim would be hotter than the crater. That seems totally illogical. I'd love to hear some geologist explain that.
BTW, the way you inset the thermal view into the regular shot was some epic editing! 👏👏👏
Thanks :) I'm working on a non-thermal video from there as well, online tomorrow :)
🏆
Welcome :)
Awesome. I'm interested to see how the area has changed. God I miss seeing it. I hope that area sees another eruption soon, hopefully this year.
Might just be so :)
Dark surfaces heat up a lot more in the sun than lighter ones, so to get a better idea of residual heat from the eruption, filming in early morning, especially under heavy overcast might be your best bet. I realize you don't get much darkness in late May, so your result may be better at other times of the year. But don't stop now! I love all your videos!
As an infrared interpreter, experienced in wildfire detection and mapping, I would add that dark colored rocks with a south or west facing aspect then to receive more solar heating than the surrounding land forms, thus showing a higher relative heat. Scanning at different times of day may result in a different image.
Stunning, been ages since we’ve seen this beauty. How she looks now. Amazing video.
Thanks and welcome :)
Great presentation all so the music was great as well was expecting something to jump out was great seeing it again loved watching the volcano every day people sitting on the hills enjoying themselves great work
more soon... from the other drone :)
😮😮😮VÁÁÁÁÁ hvað það er magnað að sjá þetta svona 😮😮☺️🥳🎉
Takk kærlega, þetta er ennþá einn heitasti staðurinn á íslandi :)
Wonderfull, amazing, beautifull... no words can describe the feelings we have watching this. Nar looks alive again 😉. Many thanks to you 👌👍
😁 thanks
Fascinating! I'd love to visit! 😮😊
😊 welcome to Iceland
@@JustIcelandic 🙏 top of the bucket list
Fascinating!
😁 thanks
Mr. Gylfi, the picture quality of this video is amazingly crisp. I am a new subscriber and a fan of your beautiful country.
Thank for subbing and welcome to the channel :) we are just starting :)
Gylfi, your first view comes from Thailand!
Thanks Bill and greetings to Thailand :)
A sci fi landscape. Fascinating, thanks.
Welcome :)
Wowww! it's still so hot!! Thank you for this!!
Welcome
Wow! Fascinating. Thank you. Drone is worth it just for that clip.
Thank you kindly :)
Wow! So essentially, the lava flow from that eruption is STILL on-going under the crusting top?! That's amazing!
It's still molten lava under there, it's very thick and can can be used to bake bread for the decades to come :)
@@JustIcelandic Yeah, I KNOW! WOW! That's really like, wow,, no jokes! That eruption "ended" some time ago, the lava "flow" carried on under its crusty top.
im sure its not as cool as shown but the shots of the lava path look largely cooled down this is so surreal to see that at one point it was move like a hungry predatory beast after its prey
This was a long flight so I needed a bit more time and will fore sure check this better very soon.
interesting how the lip and side are still showing signs of heat but nothing in the crater , you would have thought it would be the other way about but then again i guess that a lot of the rim and sides have now fallen in as they cool and get brittle and could be possibly hiding any remaining heat.
the lava flows were as hot as i expected and i assume that you had a good scan around the hills looking for any remaining hot spots ? , as wasnt there some fears about vip hill in the first eruption due to the ground feeling warm in areas with the grass dyeing off ?.
i think ill have to watch this again later on the big screen when i have a bit more time , hopefully you will do more vids in the area , and how many batteries did you go through with having to switch back and forth and the fly overs ?.
This was the last battery I had charged and ready that long day, this location was not on the list since we didn't know if we could get the car close enough to make the rest of the way with the drone, but we did, and also found out it's not a good to scan this after sunny day like we had, however, I came back with so much info to use to plan a full scan from 2 takeoff locations, and this will take me at least 3-5 hrs. to thermal scan to complete lava fields from 2021/22
@@JustIcelandic well its still a learning curve so every time you go out you will probs come back with a new plan and i hope the batteries are not that expensive to sstop you having "an box full" , are they specific for the drone or are they a general drone battery ? , just curious .
@Antifaole It would need to be early morning really to give as much time as possible for the residual daytime heat to lessen on the surface. Rock retains heat pretty well.
I think for the more abstract shots where you don't have a lot of contrast like these the thermal "window" in the normal camera view is defnitely the coolest!
This is thermal view offers many creative ideas to work with, and I will play around with this form for sure :)
Nice shots my friend! I expect life your way will get all exciting in the future! 😂Now you have the camera to get right into the action! 😁✌️😎👍🕺🎷🎸
😎👍 this will be so much fun for us all :)
beautiful pictures
Thank you, more soon
Very impressive footage! The thermal camera gives us completely new insights. Especially like the overlays. Surprising that parts of the crater rim are still glowing so intensely. Would be interesting to repeat the the shots early in the morning without prior exposure to the sun. Thank you so much for sharing!
Yes it's the plan, this was just one little tour after a long day filming around, draining the batteries :) Plenty of work left to do there :)
@@JustIcelandic I'm really looking forward to all the footage yet to come 😊
Those were very interesting vids, thank you. It really gives a view on what lies beneath the surface. They are very ehm .... cool I would say :).
😊 welcome
Finally! Been wanting something like this since 2021. Great footage. I agree with below commenter it would be cool to see actual temperature. I watched review on this drone so ive seen its possible. So much potential though. When next volcanic activity happens you'll be in a unique position with your thermal capabilities (i have seen no other channel with this potential.)
Still a few things to figure with the temp. reading in the drone :) will solve them :) It works but I cannot record the temp. reading.
thanks bfor sharing.👍
👍 welcome
Fantastic video! I like the thermal overlay on the visible-light images.
Cool!
👍 always something cool going on in Iceland
Oh wow that is so neat! So the edges of the cone are still pretty hot in places huh?. I didn't know the fields were still steaming though and wow the last one was really hot still, and stupid people still walk all over it. I'm kind of surprised no one has fallen into a hot spot and been burned yet. Thanks for doing that! Can't wait to see more. This is fascinating to me.
Love this!
Welcome :)
Iceland is hot😊
😊 always
woooow
😊 thanks for stopping by
Only just found your channel thanks for sharing your videos we have been to Iceland twice and we love it there and plan on coming back to see the north in June.
Awesome! Thank you!
Quite interesting. Thank you for posting it.
My pleasure!
Beautiful!❤
Thank you! Cheers!
This is so cool. What are the temperatures of those shots? Would be interesting to see the scale of the thermal colors or something in these videos.
Still some technical issues to solve, to record the reading from the thermometer, I can see it on the screen, but not in the recording
Interesting data to look at, only a month later and this area is erupting again!
still warm, jeepers
Welcome
👍
Welcome👍
Thanks!!!
You are going from strength to greater strength in how you are using the new drone. ♥️♥️♥️
I’d wondered whether the outer part of the cone was hotter than the inner part. 🙂 It’d be interesting to know why - what’s the relationship between this and how a cone grows bigger on the inside by calving off large chunks, which always look like they’re lined with molten lava.
From this short video, it looks like the lava tubes aren’t hotter than the surrounding lava fields, which I guess makes sense if they’re empty or just filled with cooling lava. But it’s interesting that empty lava tubes presumably aren’t cooler than the surrounding field either. It’s fascinating!
I’m sure volcano experts already know all of this (and I could read up on it), but I’m enjoying the process of trying to deduce how they work from what I’m seeing. 😁
I knew that volcano when it was only a puppy!
Well said 🇮🇸
Cool! Thanks
Welcome :)
At 1:30 - I love the differences in surface texture between the two years. Also, at the beginning, am I seeing, at 0:22, iron deposits on the rim? Is that what is "hotter"? A solar effect? So fascinating!
I actually can't say, I do have a second video in the making from there, partially from the crater but I would like to get closer to it for better closeups , waiting for the right chance :)
The red colour in and on the crater means that there is iron included. But it has no influence on the temperature of the crater rim. At 0.37 the hottest area is shown. I watched the eruption and the growth of this crater almost every day. Eruptions changed and evolved from fountains to a re-filling "bathtub" with huge overflows. Finally at the point of the "hottest area" a crack in the crater rim appeared. The crater didn't fill anymore, because lava poured out at this crack to the outside and the inside at the same time! So we finally realized that the lava source was directly under the rim!
Also, I am surprised, that the opposite side of the rim is still so hot! I come to the conclusion that this is because most of the overflows happened at this side. The thickness of lava must be enormous there and there were several lava tunnels underground. Because cold lava is a very good insulator (bubbles!), there's still a lot of liquid lava/magma underground and the tunnels lead hot gas upwards to the surface and the rim.
Someone please may correct me, if my conclusion is wrong!
Btw great video, I'm very happy to see the thermal situation! Thx!😊
@@susannap.8834 Thank you so much for your reply! I really appreciate it. I'm not at all familiar with volcanic geology. I love learning about it.
It’s scary to still see so much magma still there 👍🙏❤️
🤞
Gyfli - when we visited Iceland in June 2022, the southern-most lava field was smoking in many spots. Is that lava field still smoking? If so, amazing after more than 18 months after the eruption ceased 😮
It's smoking all around, will show you more soon from the other drone, I got lucky :)
I would love to go out onto the lava field when it is safe and try to collect some mineral samples. I know I've seen elemental sulfur and very likely cinnabar near the 2021 crater in my own drone shots.
I did lots of close up videos with the other drone and still working on that video. i'm very sure you will love it, so much to see on the surface
I think the red areas are more likely to be iron minerals than cinnabar, but I'm not a geologist.
@@b.a.erlebacher1139 Correct.
Impressive both with this video and the normal non-thermal version. Thing is those lava flows will remain hot for years even though both eruptions have stopped as it takes a long time for most lavas to cool as while the surface layers have cooled quite a bit beneath the surface - if you went down like a meter or two - the rock would still be glowing semi-molten.
oh I miss it 😢
Well, this isn't the last news of this crater :)
Great overlay at 1:05 that is perfectly aligned and showing the thermal image's context to the wider area :-) Wasn't the magma always reaching the surface under the back wall / north wall of the crater anyway? Rather than directly under the centre of the crater (0:43). Which is why it was flowing north out from under the back wall at one point as I recall.
Would be nice to have some kind of reference on what the color means in relation to temperature. Some kind of scale to know that that red spot, for example, is 45'C.
Still a few things to figure with the temp. reading in the drone :) will solve them :) It works but I cannot record the temp. reading.
Nice video. As always :) maybe you have info - what are the temperatures in Celsius?
Still some technical issues to solve, to record the reading from the thermometer, I can see it on the screen, but not in the recording
I think using the non-grey color schemes works better with human depth perception and most importantly the UA-cam video compression.
Yes the non-grey color scene turns out to flat to often
I wonder why the rim of the crater is hottest, as it is exposed on all sides and I'd think would cool faster. Interesting!
I actually dont know but hoping that someone can tell us that here in the comment section....
I just answered to whitetiger333. Maybe you are interested in, too.
You have a real unique opportunity here because of your equipment. Other channels that have grown tremendously are ones with other unique equipment. One channel in particular does extreme slow motion, 'The slow mo guys' that has nearly 15 million subscribers. I expect you have that potential.
You are actually right, the IR vids can make the channel grow and lets see what I will come up with, the next one is thermal only, coming soon...
could the heat you're picking up be from the sun heating material? even where's there's steam it would depend on how material absorbs sunlight.
you might need to test on various surfaces gylfi.
enjoy watching these shots
Still some technical issues to solve, to record the reading from the thermometer, I can see it on the screen, but not in the recording
So is it possible to shoot both normal and thermal footage at the same time?
Yes, it can be useful since the thermal vies isn't always showing the location that well
Why is it hotter at the edge of the crater in some parts, than at the bottom?
I actually dont know but hoping that someone can tell us that here in the comment section....
Is there an option that the camera can produce a scale of temperature going from say green to white hot that could be added to the side of the video so we can see what temperatures it is measuring to get a good idea of how hot things are?
I have a few technical things to work on :)
