- Iceland has a new volcano, Fagradalsfjall: I wanted to visit, to talk about the infrastructure around it, and work out how the country deals with a new and dangerous tourist attraction. It didn't go well.
Thanks to Bjorn Steinbekk, who I thoroughly recommend if you need a fixer or drone pilot in Iceland! www.steinbekk.com/ He's also the person who flew a drone into the lava: • When you fly a drone i...

In case you're wondering, "Icelandic-Mexican fusion cuisine" was a lamb-potato-and-cheese burrito with a skyr-based sauce and it tasted amazing.
How was this 1 week ago?
@@ace127 that’s what I was thinking too
Thanks for the info!
this was one week ago?!
Wasnt wondering but I am now happy to know
The volcano sensed Tom approaching and got nervous.
It sensed the power his red shirt holds.

volcano be like oh are you approaching me

Just when it seemed activity was dying down, a second vent opened.
Thanks for this.

@Low Tier God "I am not sexist I just prefer sons" let that sink in for a bit. Also I am 15 AND from the middle East the place most popular for being "sexist" and I still can't agree with you. That's how stupid you sound
@Low Tier God It’s rather embarrassing that you’re censoring yourself
@Low Tier God ok buddy
Ok, I haven't watched a lot of volcano videos, but 7:48 - 7:55 is easily the most interesting volcano shot I have ever seen. Lava flowing freely from an active caldera into a lava river and then disappearing into the ground again a few hundred metres away, in a dark, post-apocalyptic fog!
Maybe mission accomplished?
At least for me.
Agreed!
Absolutely! I wouldn't mind if the whole episode had this footage as the background for Tom's narrative. It looks amazing
i love that you can see the waves in the lake of lava from the eruption. It looks like water. And it disappearing into the ground, where tf is it going!!!
Sorry you had a tough time there Tom - if it's any consolation, I've lost count of the number of times I've arrived at an "erupting" volcano only for it to fall fast asleep. If you're ever in Japan I'll gladly show you around some of the fab volcanoes here, you'd love Sakurajima!

I'm just happy that you're committed to such integrity and almost "anti hype" with your stories.
Transparency = credibility.
"Iceland has a new volcano!" is an unexpectedly very scary sentence.
Eh it happens on the regular.
Scarier would be something like, "Ohio has a new volcano!"
alternate title: tom scott goes to an active volcano, gets food poisoning, but miraculously survives due to plot armor
If life is a show, Tom is the main character.
@Low Tier God what is wrong with you and also you are wrong in every way possible
That makes it sound like tom ate the lava and survived with just food poisoning. Great!
@@sirincompetent758 Don't give him any attention. He's probably so deprived of it in real life that his only alternative is to troll online for attention.
@Low Tier God what happened and why
I'd like to see a 4 second video of Tom going "OOO! Volcano!" That would've been sufficient
It's almost as good of that clip of him yelling "RAINING!"
@Low Tier God bot moment
We will get 4 hours of raw video of Tom climbing a volcano.
@Low Tier God for every cent you consider to do anything, you have to pay me double for considering accepting your existence
me too :D
The microphone accidentally coming unplugged at the end was so perfect it almost seemed scripted
There's still plenty of amazing footage in this video and the story was even more interesting the way it turned out.
This isn't a disaster, it's a perfect demonstration of how fascinating and unpredictable nature is, despite all our efforts to control it.
And yet they did exert control over the direction of the lava flow with a berm.
Out of the possible “disasters” that can happen while you’re at a volcano, this was probably one of the better ones...
exactly
Touché
You worded that like just like Tom would.
And even in terms of filming disasters they still got some good footage of vast expansive fields of rock, which feels a bit surreal to know all of those tons of rock weren't there a few weeks ago
So the secret message Tom has presented carefully is "if you go to Iceland, and the volcano isn't erupting for you-just have some mexican icelandic fusion cuisine and you can make your own volcano in your hotel bathroom
LMFAO
Plenty eruptions alright
2 volcanos..! One at each end.. hahahaha
OOOF
I laughed too hard at this
Technically any time you’re filming a volcano is a disaster, naturally. But hey look at the bright side, it could’ve been worse... you could’ve fallen in!
Have had a hard time uploading then!
ACKTUALLY
You may choose to count it only as a natural event instead of a natural disaster until it starts destroying human stuff
Oh God, last thing we need is Darth Tom Scott
This video is the definition of “it’s about the journey, not the destination”
Of the two catastrophic failure states for "I tried to film a volcano", this is definitely the better option.
Indubitably.
And it's definitely better than if it had been titled "Tom tried filming a volcano" 😅
I agree, Nurgling

“Talking to Huey on the big white telephone” is probably the most unique euphemism for vomiting into a toilet I have ever heard.

Not unique in the UK.

All this work and Max fosh is just eating a chicken korma on top of the volcano
I really apprechiate your honest and transparent way of showing things, even when a project fails. I learned quite some things from you, thank you very much for your content
There is no bad Tom Scott video, even when it's a disaster
I definitely think this was a meh video.
The video really lacked a final punch. A big mess up. But Food poison isn't really fun enough.

@Low Tier God wtf is that the real Low Tier God????
came to say the same thing, his idea of a complete fail, still a great video!
@@anomanderrake5434 just you
Tom, you should have made an appointment with the volcano in advance.
No one has EVER beaten Gatto...AND SURVIVED!*chewing noises*
The volcano was fully booked; there were lots of tourists coming along.
@@vigilantcosmicpenguin8721 great username and pfp.
"I got an email from a volcano..."
Volcano culture must be polychronic
Nice save, actually. Being a production guy, I honestly do enjoy the "it didn't quite work out" stories and how they get saved (or not). It kind of lends a nice human-ness productions efforts. Good job.
Tom Scott makes emergency filler video explaining why it's not a "real" video: still gets a million and a half views.
And Tom learned a valuable lesson on his journey:
The real volcano was inside him all along
Made me day 😂
Made my volcano 😂
What if the real volcano were the friends we made along the way
Oh no my sides
With erruption caused by food poisoning
"Don't walk on the damn lava."
As an aspiring volcanologist, I really appreciated this one.
"...or don't come running to me if you do"
That’s the coolest possible title you could have, congrats!
They’re not! They’re walking on rock! You can’t tell people not to walk on rock. We walk on rock all the time. And even if you say “new rock”, relative to what? Some rocks are billions of years old, all rock is new rock to those rocks! This is a scam!
@@cjeam9199 **cracks through top layer of rock and dies**
Important safety tip. That, and "don't cross the streams."
For a disaster, I really, really enjoyed this video. There’s tons of eruption footage, but you showed us a lot that you couldn’t see without going there. Thank you for all your efforts. Sorry you got sick tho. Hope you feel much better now! 🌋
Tom, in a year where v little has gone as I've planned, it's incredibly encouraging to see that it doesn't always go as planned for you as well, but that you are still able to get another incredible video out of it.
Plot twist: This is the exact script Tom wrote before arriving. Verbatim.
He's just powerful like that
What script?
Tom made the volcano stop to match his script.
Day 2: Get food poisoned.
@@myfatassdick Ooo! Volcano!
Tom's laughing but you can tell he's trying not to cry.
you gotta feel bad
Its pre sad
Pain
Imagine the frustration 😔
I added "talking to Huey on the big white telephone" to my vocabulary. I think it is the best thing I heard all day and I can't wait to get food poisoning so I can try out this line.
Sometimes I wonder how tom can travel so easily. Then I remember he lives and europe and can just hop on a train to another country in the time it takes me to get home from work on bad days.
"Don't walk on the lava" sounds like a conspiracy by Big Geology to keep tourists from getting Instagram likes.
walking on lava is a good way to have a meltdown.

As a geologist, freshly cooled volcanic rock is so cool. Not wasted at all!!
Cooled rock is literally cool indeed.
Can't ignore the igneous rocks?
As a non-geologist, i agree.
I misread as "freshly cooked"
@@benrosenberg3489 kinda true
It takes a lot of bravery to admit to yourself and the audience that a shoot didn't go the way you wanted it to, and to take a different angle for the video. I admire you for that.
I love Tom Scott videos because you can never tell if they're from 4 days ago or 4 years ago
Indeed
I wouldn't call this a disaster - some of the drone shots are god damn masterpieces.
Agreed, pity the incredible shot was less than a second long!
Yea totally
As far as "trying to film a volcano" goes, I can think of a few other outcomes that would be worse.
Check out Bjorn Steinbekk, he's probably the Bjorn that Tom mentioned and has some great drone footage
@@brauliopereira9173 ngl i was expecting some drone carnage, maybe tom losing a bag or something...
"It's okay to screw up sometimes."

And it wasn't even his fault.
A recent study has shown 'an apologetic person for things out his control' is much likable than a person who blame anything else.

@@sasugage2168 Like a tectonic fault? Certainly not, thank you for alerting me! :-D

"I was a bit disappointed as we got back to the car park. No other way to say it"
Yes there is, Tom. "Parking Lot"
Hope this helps!

The car park is where you drop off your car for the day so you can get some peace and quiet
@@abigcupofwater the parking lot is where i park a lot

@@TomBruhh We say hamburger, you say beef Wellington ensemble w/ lettuce
Idk how much you hear this but I truly appreciate the lengths y’all go to in order to make an entertaining and knowledgeable videos. Thank you so much for bringing me hours of entertainment.
“Icelandic-Mexican Fusion Cuisine” sounds like a video topic in and of itself
glad to see I'm not the only one who thought so
It also sounds kind of volcanic.
It caused Tom different kind of eruptions
I was just there and it was very surprising to see a lot of Mexican dishes. Very cool to see that.
And Tom thought GPT-3 only came up with bogus video titles!
"That's his volcano drone, it's a bit melted in a few spots"
it's got a bit dent and molten spot but ya know, it still works
I also liked how him saying Bjorn had gone above and beyond has rarely ever been so literal.
Dude, the drone shot of the volcano and the lava was amazing!! Worth it!
You know, the occasional tom scott video about a story that just didn't come together gives this channel such a nice feeling to it, like a breath of fresh air, not everything in the world is dramatic and amazing at all angles and all times, its nice to see that presented.
"Don't walk on the damn lava" is a very good point to take away from this.
Sounds like something Chubbyemu would say.
I went there last month and while I was staring at the volcano, it was spewing lava everywhere. And of course, tourists were still walking all over the “cooled” lava fields. You can’t even stop stupid people
The fact that it has to be stated at all is a worrying indictment of humanity
you cant tell me how to die
@@dmitrishostakovich1671 No, he'd talk about the horrible burns you got, very scientifically.
Getting food poisoning on top of that was really unlucky. Really unfortunate.
I'm no scientist, but my theory is that Tom angered the Islandic Volcano God, and was punished accordingly with no lava except metaphorically speaking.
you again
If you see this guy everywhere then that means you're also everywhere.
@@blah2blah65 that seems to be the most likely explanation I agree.
at this point i almost think that you are stalking my youtube recommendations
Even Tom screwing up his content still makes good content. Legend mate, legend.
Even Tom's "failures" are better than 99% of the content on youtube.
Honestly hearing "Iceland has a new volcano" was the most surprising thing for me
same
It happens fairly often, especially compared to most places on the planet.
Dude! :)
ok
Oh men it has been going, used to be more frequent, the eruptions. Watching the daily change over a livestream has been a blast!
I think the fact that we can see the video is a reason why this isn't a total desaster.
Damn
Disaster*
This video captures the spirit of why your channel is so great...creativity, determination, fascinating facts, realism, humor, humility, and optimism. Thanks for all you do Tom!
I like that Tom now does the "this video failed, here's what I can salvage from it" bits on his main channel. The Park Bench had its own charm but it was also hidden away on a seperate channel, it wasn't something the world would see.
Tom should have just edited in B-roll drone footage of him on the toilet and try to pass it off as active volcano footage
"yooooo that's sick
why the lava brown tho?"

That's a great story Tom. Every bit as interesting as seeing lava. Sometimes the process is fascinating in its own right.
I am sorry you got sick. I love that your videos can not go to plan and you still come out with a great story.
The underrated part of this video is Bjorn chuckling as Tom attempts to surf down a scree slope.
I have some fantastic b roll material of Tom that will never be published 😂😂😂
@@bjornsteinbekk maybe we could get it as some behind the scenes material? Of course with toms consent. ^^
I found Tom's struggle really relatable. I tried to walk that same path and at some point you just gotta embrace the fact you're gonna fall.
@@carl7534 What Bjorn means is Tom probably wouldn’t consent because that footage is probably full of sensitive material, could be anything, vulgar language, a wide range of emotions, just things that “would never be published”. U know what I’m sayin’?
That is a great asmr moment. Sounds great through headphones.
Tom, next time you go chasing a volcano I will come along again...it can´t go wrong for the second time. Hope to see you soon!
hej björn!
Lovely videography, thank you.
Thank you for the awesome footage and for going above and beyond for Tom. You rock!
I almost like the video turning out this way. It's nice to see the struggles involved with trying to film these videos . Gives me a new appreciation for what you're going through
Science is not competition to a hungry man
Even if the original video failed, its still an interesting story to see when things go wrong. Things happen when we make films and we never know what those things are
Things especially happen when you try to make films of nature being nature. Sometimes, you get an amazing, award winning shoot. Others, you get tiredness, disappointment, and a few good but not blow it out of the water shots. Then you make what you can of it and move on.
And those people usually cannot salvage anything, while a youtuber with a few million subscribers can at least recoup the cost of the failed shoot.
"Icelandic Mexican fusion cuisine..."
Words seldom heard together.
If you can't watch a volcano, make yourself into one.
My guess is that the few times they are heard are predominantly in Iceland rather than Mexico.
Proud of you for not giving up, the footage you did get was amazing (proud of Bjorn too) and I think the video you did end up with really hits home on the "volcanos are unpredictable and don't care about your plans" point. I didn't know that scifi scenes were filmed in Iceland, that's cool to know.
Tom Scott, you make amazing and great content and i like the fact you share the failure as well. Reminds us of the work you put in to make these videos and time spent traveling and plan everything.
Great video and amazing work as always
“I tried to film a volcano and it was a complete disaster”
Yes Tom, volcanoes are indeed normally normally a disaster.
I feel like volcanoes in Iceland are a bit like floods in the Netherlands: yes, they're inherently dangerous, and used to claim lives, but by now the locals have mastered mitigation and live alongside it with death being mostly something that happens to foreigners and the damn fools that ignore warning signs.
Though for Tom the disaster was the complete non-existance of even a hint of anything actually disasterous.
Until the actual disaster of the fusion cuisine, anyway.
@@SaraWolffs Isn't that what humanity is all about, mitigating, adapting and living with the environment ?
A few might die, but that's business as usual, don't be a fool, if there was a warning, its because of some fool.
Me who lives in Java that has tons of volcanoes:
"Let me introduce you to a super fertile land."
Tom... can I point out the ridiculously high standards you set for yourself? For most people, going to Iceland, getting drone footage of an active volcano and lava flow, filming that newly formed igneous rock. That's FRICKIN' AMAZING!
Sorry you got food poisoning. Hope you're feeling better now.
These are always my favorite videos. I love it when things go weird and you have to adapt.
in these stories, you always make everyone around you sound like a superhero. It's amazing.
"Iceland has a new volcano! And it's close to the airport"
You make it sound like the Icelandic tourism board just decided to open a new volcano.
maybe they did?
Dig a deep hole. That may work.

Some Icelandic youtuber rigged it for views:
"You won't believe what happened when I tried to install the geothermal"
"Geothermal gone wrong"

"don't walk on the damn lava"
not something I expect would need to be said.
Alas... this morning we had a tourist couple send their kids out on the lava, while they took pictures of them playing. Thankfully they didn't melt in a pool of lava. Darwin must be on summer holiday. Got cross, too, for being told off...
It's in the same category as "Don't poke the bears" or "Don't swim with the hypos".
I live near a miles long cascading waterfall. One day, I went to hike the trail, but was unable to: seems some people stepped onto some of the waterfall rocks, slipped, and then had to be peeled off of the next set of rocks.
Fortunately, the extrication was nearly complete by the time I got there. What do we see once on the trail? More people doing yoga on the rocks under the waterfall.
Some people are in stiff competition for the Darwin awards.
@@atzuras "hypos" 😂
@@ArniVidar they wouldn't melt *in* it. It's still rock, so way denser than any human you care to test it with. They'd melt *on* it.
Are you kidding me? I did this just last week and had the exact same experience, but even rainier. Now the worst part about it is that I didn't get to meet Tom.

Ah, volcanoes. Fickle little buggers. You can walk over that cooled lava. That flow was dead and relatively shallow in depth and it solidifies quickly. You can tell by the texture of the cooled lava surface it was a dying flow before it even stopped. It happens. I've hike 10 miles oneway through horrible conditions only to reach the lava-filled vent and have it rain horizontally for the next 10 hours and only ever feel the heat and see glowing steam. It's a lot more difficult than most people realize. Welcome to my world.

Imagine if your microphone not being plugged in was the end to that story... perfectly fitting "yep, of course that's how it would go"
Still a great tale non the less!!
As someone who grew up near the Mexican border, I am both extremely interested and very concerned about what “Icelandic-Mexican Fusion” cuisine entails…
Right?! I would’ve watched a video about that alone!
A Mexican waiter who speaks Icelandic.
Mexican food, with lamb
"Icelandic-Mexican fusion cuisine" was a lamb-potato-and-cheese burrito with a skyr-based sauce
I had a gas station mexican chicken burrito just a few days ago. It was probably the most unexpectedly delicious thing I've eaten in five years, and thankfully, I didn't get food poisoning, but god damn, for the next two days, my farts could have dropped a horse. It was as if the tormented ghosts of those chickens had found a way to weaponize the simple dressing and corn kernels so efficiently and so effectively that the Geneva Convention would need immediate amendment. It's a good thing I'm a bachelor or I would be sleeping in the yard right now.
Your improvisations, are better than most full swing productions, Tom. The story honestly is better this way I think :) Great job and quite entertaining and informative :)
Thank you for going through so much effort to share a unique angle of that story. Sorry it didn’t work out the way you intended, but you still got a great video out of it! 😊🐕🐕🐾🐾
