Unusual situation In Iceland - 2 Ancient And Dormant Volcano Systems Waking Up
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 лют 2025
- Not one but two Ancient Volcanic systems in Iceland are slowly but surely waking up we have never before experienced such uncertainty when it comes to the geology of our island. The Glacier capped Hofsjökull is rumbling more than ever at the same time when the so-called Ljósufjöll volcanic system seems to be even further into a buildup to an eruption. Has this to to with the tectonics?, the mantle plume? - It's hard to say, but the seismometers have an interesting story to tell now when we though the year was over as for surprises.

Thank you for visiting the Just Icelandic Channel.
Greetings from Iceland. Gylfi
I dont know why.... But your videos with your narration are way more relaxing than the ones with music.
Agreed. Music and geology/topography don't really go together . . .
Old school story telling skills for sure.
In that case you didn´t really listen to what Gylfi said: A volcano capable of delivering a most exciting shit/fan-interface-event is waking up. 😰
Perfect low key voice
I agree . Beautiful voice . 🎄🎄🎄
Love the drone footage under the cloud layer! And the sunset at the end - wow!
Thanks 👍
@@JustIcelandic is it hard to get permission to fly more than 120 meters high? You obviously have a great use for such authorizations.
Looks like Iceland's geologists are in for a busy holiday season and a lot of unexpected gifts. Happy Yule to all!
Happy Yule to you :)
You 2 my friend greetings and skal from Holland
You, Gylfi, are the best documentarian for Iceland. Thank you for the update and the drone footage of the Icelandic landscape and it's people. Happy Holidays to everyone!!
"Something is cooking and my educated guess is that it's not a vegetable soup"... Gylfi this is a perfect example of why I love your videos: they are full of facts that are fascinating and eye-opening, and have comments like that which are the icing on the top. Thank you, and hope you have a lovely and relaxing Christmas
Fire And Ice! What a spectacular, dynamic place Iceland is! Beautiful footage Gylfi. Thankyou, and Merry Christmas.
Thanks and Merry Christmas to you :)
Thank you for the update, Gylfi.
Those slow panning shots are the mutt's nuts, and today's end shot of the sunset was an absolute stunner.
Happy Christmas.
Many thanks and Happy Christmas to you :)
Mutt's Nuts - how festive! Christmas cracker of a joke 😂🎉
Thank you Gylfi! Your reporting and outstanding videography continues to astound and inspire us … 😁 As a photographer myself (I am part of a team of storm chasers who document severe weather on the Australian continent), I appreciate the hard work that you put in to bring us this incredible footage. Although your subject material is so different to my own, your ability to put footage together in such a way that it just takes your breath away, and stirs emotions in such an incredible way, is truly a gift. Thank you so much for sharing that with us … we appreciate it very much. Warmest greetings from your friends Down Under … 😁🌴🌴🌴
Merry Christmas Gylfi and thank you for all the information you shared with us throughout the year. Your cinematography is next level.
Regardless of what happens, we're blessed by your forsight to archive these areas.
Happy winter or summer solstice to all.
I'm glad we are over them :) it's dark here in the north now :)
Summer solstice for me but enjoy just the same 👍
Happy summer solstice from the other end of the world.
Many happy returns Richard.
It’s exciting! The earth is alive!
Very much so :)
Indeed.
Everywhere, but easier to see in Iceland.
Absolutely beautiful video! Love the geology of Iceland!
Thank you very much!
That final sky... WHOA! thank you for mentioning Volcano Cafe, always looking for new things to read...
Enjoy :) they have often easy to read fun articles, cant say that about all geology reports :)
What a dynamic place Iceland is. As an off-road enthusiast, I would love to come ride those back roads with you.
once you try them, you will never recover and keep coming back, we call it the highland syndrome :) Welcome to iceland :)
11:56, wow, so beautiful, thank you Best Regards
Many thanks!
Still the best videographer in Iceland by a long long long way!
I'm flattered :) many thanks from the volcano island :)
I really liked how you identified each topic on the full map of Iceland!
Many thanks :)
Wow! Beautiful Iceland on display.
Always welcome :)
I have learned so much about Iceland from your videos. Geological information, of course, but also geography and a little history.
Great to hear and always welcome :)
Good evening Gylfi!
Good evening :)
Good evening Gylfi, many thanks for your update. Hopefully you will find a bit of rest during these holiday times. Wishing you the best with kind regards from NZ.
God Jul & Godt Nytår. Mange tak for alt din indsats i at lave oplysende videoer fra Island. Fortsæt endlig i samme rolige stil
😊 many thanks and always welcome :)
This footage is utterly amazing. What a natural commercial for Iceland /swoon :D :D !
Visiting Iceland in May Cannot wait. Love your work. Thanks
Welcome to Iceland :)
Sounds like you have much editing ahead. Thank you for sharing the beautiful images you create.
Many thanks!
Excellent 360° views, stay safe happy Solstice,
👋 🇬🇧
Thanks 👍
Fascinating info. Beautiful panning with dramatic lighting. In addition, you are unique and wise to take the long view. Amazing documentaries!! Thank you!
2:14 Those clouds 😍
Greetings from the UK at 2 30 am... What the hell Gylfi, we missed you. Anyway thx for the update.
Many thanks for this, Another great update, Gylfi.
My pleasure Alex :) always good to see you around :)
The orange sky and undulating clouds, the reflections in the river, the snow-capped mountains, and the rugged scenery-a simply breathtaking closing shot of another informative video.
More from that day soon :) many thanks :)
Happy Holiday's Gylfi!!! : ) It looks like, at the north end of the West-Iceland Volcanic Belt, the plate fracture either curves, or angles due east under Hofsjökull and Tungnafellsjokull before intersecting the main plate boundary at Bárðarbunga. This extension is likely a transform fault (i.e. strike/slip) so it's not actively spreading like the other boundaries but it's still a weak point in the crust so the hotspot took advantage and formed the Hofsjökull and Tungnafellsjokull volcanoes.
Interestingly, if this is true, then it would create what is essentially a diamond shaped micro-plate between the four plate boundaries, which is pretty cool.
wow the clouds really add a mythic atmosphere gylfi
thanks for the video
Thank you for documenting the volcanic activities on Iceland. Appreciate your beautiful cinematography of such a unique country.
Thank you for the updates on Hofsjokull and Ljosufjoll. I've been watching the uptick in earthquakes in both places and wondering about eruptions. Interesting you said "lighting up like a christmas tree" because I was thinking of multiple eruption sites!! Always look forward to your perspective on events.
Wow! That final shot at sunset, absolutely stunning!!
Enjoy :)
I love how you capture the changing light and moving shadows across beautiful Iceland, including the volcanos, the ice and snow, the valleys and the hills, the clouds, the water, and the steam rising from the restless landscape.
Enjoy :)
You never disappoint !! It's always a great experience to watch and Listen to You !! Look forward to seeing the Videos you are talking about !! Thank You for another great video 📸 !!
Wishing you a relaxing jól and plenty of exciting video prospects full of firy beauty with no casualties or infrastructure damage.
Many thanks :)
It is lovely to see the beauty of Iceland. Thank you, Glyfi, and blessed be, for this place of calm covering the molten earth... A metaphor for the world.
Many good wishes for the hot spot that is Victoria, Australia.
Hello Gylfi, I wonder if this east - west dynamic is a sign of diverging strain, that something has to give (I guess this is the back story of Iceland). It seems as though there is a lot of energy, the quakes are a reasonable size. It does seem as though a sub glacial event is not far away. It would be amazing if these ancient giants raised their voices and gave the scientists something new to look at.
Thanks for the beautiful views!
Enjoy :)
I personally think this has to do with the current activity on Reykjanes. If you look at it, the Mid Iceland and Snaefellsnes volcanic belts look like a northern alternative to the Reykjanes peninsula and South Iceland seismic zone. If the Reykjanes fault slips, it will add pressure to all those additional fault zones, potentially opening up old cracks and giving otherwise stagnant magma a potential chance to rise. I would personally love to see either of these erupt, long dormant volcanoes in unusual geologic settings are always fun.
You get such beautiful footage, that sunset is beyond words. Merry Christmas to you and yours.
Merry Christmas to you too :)
Incredible landforms, glaciers, volcanoes, people. Thanks.
Always welcome :)
Gylfi, that's a cool Land Cruiser. Perhaps a rack across the top with camera mounts, too? You film Iceland better than anyone. Sometimes the beauty takes my breath away, or maybe it's the temperature? Thank you for the updates, maps, and photography, and Merry Christmas, young fella. 🇺🇸🧙🏼♂️
Brilliant. 💖
Enjoy :)
Thanks for your carefully crafted videos. The remarks about the potential importance of "before" footage are right on spot. And I thank you for the hand-crafted subtitles, a true rarity on UA-cam (or anywhere else, for that matter). As a hearing-impaired viewer, I depend on subtitles for about 80% of my viewing. It's truly thoughtful of you to provide what in truth should be standard in today's audio-visual arena.
I'm glad you appreciate the hand made subtitles, it's so dull to make them after everything else is ready :) but it's just the standard of the channel and i´m sticking to it since the auto subs are really bad, and my english is really raw :) and then we have the Icelandic place names :) So thanks for watching and enjoy :)
Beautiful video thanks. Happy Christmas and Hogmanay from Scotland.
Working on getting my passport. One of my 1st trips will be to Iceland. Thank you for sharing your beautiful country of Iceland! Merry Christmas! ❤🎉
What beautiful footage. The spectacular clouds
Thank you kindly
Lovely footage. Happy Holidays Iceland!
Happy holidays!
Really good vid as usual. All the best and best regards Sir
Many thanks :)
Thank you Gylfi, I am hoping that all of you have a peaceful time between Yuletide and the new year. That you might edit and upload and that no one suffers during the holidays. You and your nation live where it is beyond doubt that Mother Earth is alive and breathing. With the past few years you all could probably use a break to catch up. Best wishes to all.
Merry Christmas Gylfi 🎅🎄
Thank you for all your videos this year ❤
thanks for the update, always enjoy your videos and news!
My pleasure!
Stunning videography and what a landscape! Particularly like the panning sequence at 4:12
Always welcome :)
Thanks for the updates as what's been happening in Iceland. Great pictures too.
Wow!
What spectacular footage!
You have definitely picked up the art of balancing the images 🎉
And the colours are perfect.
I know that what you were talking about is the possibility of quite catastrophic events to come in Iceland.
It will change the country and those in proximity for ever and completely muck with global climate.
But, until then, we here are totally in awe of the Icelandic landscape.
Thank you Gylfi 😊
Stunningly beautiful.
Many thanks!
Thanks for the very exciting update.
Merry Christmas and a happy new year. I love your work, and I always enjoy it.
Merry Christmas 😊 and many thanks for watching
You are the best at what you do, Gylfi. Merry Christmas!
Many thanks and Merry Christmas to you :)
Great video, Merry Christmas Gylfi. God bless you.
merry Christmas and thanks for all you do!
Merry Christmas :)
Love your narration!
Thank you kindly!
Well the old girls are still not ready to sleep! MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY NEW YEAR!
What a beautiful landscape with the red sky and the snow.
It's good that you have a lot of work.
Merry Christmas 🎄
yeah! Iceland - the island of fire and ice!
Beautiful footage as always Gylfi. Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Merry Christmas to you too :)
Thank you Gylfi. Without your hard work we'd never have known so much about volcanoes.
Many thanks, appreciated :)
fascinating pictures of islandic landscape! Thank you very much!
Thanks for watching :)
Always beautiful and amazing videos! ❤
Always welcome :)
From now on days will get longer. Allways a happy moment. Thanks for your stunning footages and magical voice over.
👍
Glad you enjoyed it :)
Fantastically dramatic scenes and wonderful skyscapes.
Many thanks :)
Your photo and video work is incredible. I look forward to your coverage of whatever the next big eruption happens to be. Thank you for sharing all of this.
If only Gylfi had control of a satellite with thermal imaging😊 I'm a native Californian, and so when I hear EQ's of 3.X, inside I smirk because it's nothing more than a tickle, but in a place like Iceland it seems more like shove.
ancient volcano used to be the recent volcano. Just mooving along our earth. prayers to iceland of prosperity, safety and luck ❤❤❤
Thank you for the update Gylfi. Happy Holidays.
Happy Holidays to you 🎅
TY once more for a short, informative video with absolute stunning footage.
Have a very merry, safe, Icelandic Christmas!!
Thank you for the new vid, Gylfi. I'm wishing you the most peace, and love filled holiday.
Thank you capturing and sharing that beautiful sunset with us. Alway nice to see your updates. Iceland is gorgeous in its own right, but I think I would miss the trees. Happy Winter Solstice to you! Much love ❤️
Thanks for the info!
Many thanks :)
Though I am a "volcano lay person" I think that this was an excellent analysis. Imho you are better at explaining than all the experts I listened to during the eruptions since 2021.
Enoyed it very much - as well as the captivating footage. Especially the sunset at 11:40 ff is of breathtaking beauty.
Thank you for both information and imagery 🤩🤩🤩
Beautiful shot to finish a lovely interesting film 😊
Enjoy :)
Wow. The footage in this video is absolutely spectacular.
Enjoy :)
Your pictures are simply STUNNING ... !!! Your humour has me giggling, alongside the awe of the subject !
Great to hear :)
Thank you for all the videos you do throughout the year..great work...Happy Holidays😁
Happy holidays!
Hoooooly moly, that last shot is stunning !! 😍
Always welcome :)
@@JustIcelandic Someday perhaps, when i'm a richer bear ! :)
i'll even gladly help ya lug drones annd cams around.
Oeh and also have a 4k multi camera livestreaming setup.
Been considered for previous eruptions as wel converting the van to play mobile broadcast studio and put up show next to the vent and put nice camera's on it 24/7.
But again, poor bear, pricey island 😅
Its like 1400€ for the car ferry alone 🤨
Anyways, thanks for the update, always look forward to them !! 😊
Fantastic footage, a very beautiful and lively landscape.
Many thanks!
“Not a vegetable soup” indeed!
Yep definitely it is not cooking soup! 😂 Your videos are amazing! Some of the shots you got of the cloud formations were really interesting. Cool!😍😁
Many thanks :)
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
It is good to hear from you Happy Christmas to you and your family ! Great views of you beautiful yet unpredictable Iceland ,I miss your updates,so this is a wonderful surprise ,thanks !
The sunset at the end was stunning! Merry Christmas to you and yours.

Thanks again for all good video you give us. Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas to you and thanks for watching :)
Your dedication to documenting and outstanding cinematic skills plus your commentary and music choices makes me wonder why you don't have millions of subscribers. Heartfelt thanks for all that you do. May God bless you and keep you healthy and safe.
Much appreciated :) Lets see what happens when i move into more serious documentary work, i'm actually very pleased with where the channel is today as i'm going trough a steep learning curve :) and it's only now that i have more and less the camera gear i need :) Blessings to you and yours from the far north :)
@@JustIcelandic ❤
Superb photography! Some of your most beautiful still shots as well as videography. Thank you!
Many thanks :)
Nice video. Thanks 😊👍🍀
Always welcome :)
