We Drove To An Active Volcano
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 вер 2024
- Whilst we were in Iceland recently, we were able to visit the evacuated town of Grindavik that has recently been enduring huge amounts of seismic activity and volcano eruptions. We were fortunate enough to be granted access to see the effect this volcanic activity has had on the area.

as an Icelander, I feel this video was done very respectfully and in an non-sensationalized manner. wouldn't expect anything less of these guys. I enjoyed watching this through their lens and seeing how much it affected them
This just proves the quality of Jack and Ethan's work. Pure discovery channel, amazing.
Very interesting and done with Touch. No clickbait, no over-dramatization, but real and respectful.
Thanks Guys
ATG FTW
most serious game of The Floor is Lava! ive ever seen
we (the viewers of Car Throttle) won so hard with all these channels that have come out of it's new 'downfall'. Love the content, super glad to keep seeing yall making good stuff.
Yeah your so right
This channel has really impressed me as so different to watching Ethan, Jack and Alex in their old videos and then just Ethan and Jack. Good going guys as we now have 3 great channels.
dude this was an awesome video. Please never shy away from tackling serious topics in this kind of manner. Truely great stuff.
You probably didn't want to go full documentary, but including small segments of you talking with people on scene would be nice I think.
Loving the work of this channel. Not only is it leaning into Jack and Ethan's strength's, rather than just trying to replicate the AA and TDC formula, but in doing so it opens up to a whole new audience and broader, more exciting opportunities. This whole Iceland adventure was epic and I look forward to much more like it. I'd happily watch this channel just for the adventuring and camaraderie, completely independent of a love for cars too.
This was a legit piece of journalism, great work and great footage.
I've never heard lava before! I'd never even considered the fact that it'd make noise. Nothing I have ever watch has mentioned it or explained everything so well. Fantastic video
Makes me think, that has to be similar to what glaciers sounded like. That's a noise some of our ancestors would have had to hear and fear.. Incredible recording.
@@RotGoblinglaciers make no sound unless its disturbed! Ive been in a ice cave when an earthquake hit and thes THE spookiest thing ive ever witnessed, and having been all over iceland and to 37 other countrys i have NEVER heard sounds like those in nature! People that were with me screamed and cried like it was the end of the world, me being the driver and guide had to act like it was no big deal to show them a cool exterior even tho my brain was Screaming GTFO NOW i had to smile and shussh them to calm them down to put on a brave face to stop them from panic and possably hurt them selves trying to run away!! I calmed them down got the going back to the coach half needing to change my boxers!! Best tip any group has ever left me, and got a 5 star rating from ALL 38 passengers when they did the surway, thats unheard off tbh!! I was shaking in my boots and had a massive adrenalin dump just as we arrived at the hotel 2 hours later!!
@@bergthorjohannesson7819 here in the UK and probably across a lot of the world glaciers slowly crawled across our country at the end of the last ice age, scouring the land and reshaping it as it receded.
That's the sound I was thinking about.
Your story sounds like a crazy experience though!
@@RotGoblin it was kinda nurs tbh! Something im never forgetting :)
Finally a car show that actually shows more of the area where they do their car challenges etc. This video is truly an eye opener to what is happening in Iceland to the landscape, and the changes that residents endure. I wish all governments would take after Icelands government where they actually look after their people rather than constantly rip them off. Perfect video. Looking forward to watching many more of your videos lads 👍.
You two should do more like this, like road trips around the world going to natural wonders and events and talking about it.. Japan be a good one next like driving around showing us the after effects of the tsunami.
The fact the respect the traffic signs and rules in an abandoned town 🔥🔥🔥
Great video this, a thought provoking change of pace and I think possibly more impactful it being presented by you two who we’re more used to watching arsing about. Double thumbs up from me👍👍
Man, couldn’t imagine what the people of that town went through. Having to uproot your whole life… nature is unstoppable…
Really high quality video, always love the banter but sometimes it’s great to see your talent in journalism have a different outlet. That versatility takes skill. Good job lads!
Cracking work guys - hope to see more like this in future.
What an amazing video. I've always found volcanoes interesting and amazing but never saw the deviation in terms of towns getting evacuated
Guys, you’ve missed your calling. More of this please!
I'm really enjoying the alternative side of car enjoyment...the ability to get from A To B even through the most extreme conditions and also the ability for the local people to just work around the force's of mother nature
This was an incredibly interesting video guys. I look forward to seeing where this channel goes
Brilliant video guys, must of been amazing to be there
All the Gear: come for the car vids, stay for the geology lesson! Well done, gents.
This is incredibly well done, if this is the future of the channel, we're in for a treat! Top work lads! Best decision you ever made
That was a great story, boys. I appreciate you presenting the reality of the damage, and the power of nature, without hype. It is a credit to you both, and your team.
Appreciate the travel vlogs!
Amazing job.
Great work, gentlemen!
Great video guys 👍
Awesome!
What an awesome video. Attenborough would be so proud.
That lava sounded like the exhaust of my old 250 after an hour of driving at 8k RPM just to hit 70
Respect to you lads for this. Could have easily avoided the subject or took the piss out of it. You're top lads. I hope to buy you both a pint one day.
Be well
Thats amazing
What a brilliant watch! Loving the content chaps!
Another cracking video👌🏻
This is next level stuff. More of this type of thing, sort of like national geographic with bants 😜
Fantastic video chaps....see dosen't always have to be funny or about cars for it to be epic
Threat level midnight
Guys I really hope you will start releasing 2 vids a week 🤣 if you fancy a trip to Saudi Arabia comon over, been working out here 9 years 🤟
Only 2 more left though then back to wales
The opposite of a glacier
As a geography teacher I am both enormously jealous, and extremely impressed. You explained everything very well and I will absolutely be using this video (if you don't mind) to help my students understand the impacts of earthquakes and volcanoes on developed countries. Can you now please do the same for deforestation, desertification, coastal erosion, urbanisation, glaciers, development and population. Many thanks in advance.
Tall order, but I have a feeling they’ll stumble into a couple of those on their adventures ❤
You've 300 odd days holiday a year, you get filming 😂😂
You actually look like a geography teacher 🤣
What kind of volvo do you drive?
Do you have elbow pads in all your tops? 😂
This is the channel I am very excited about. This is how we should use our vehicles and friends.
Cool cars ❌
Arsing round and funny jokes ❌
One of the best videos I’ve seen on UA-cam this year ✅
This was properly brilliant. This just isn’t something ‘UA-camrs’ normally make - you guys are film makers. Thank you.
As a fan of the channel and an Icelander born and raised 20 minutes away from there, thanks for doing this video responsibly!
the slow and unstopable creep of the lavaflow is just terrifying
As a geologist and car nerd who's been to Iceland and driven through an old lava field, your images are still absolutely mental. You kept the geology simple and touched on all the main points. I didn't know the lava field made such a crystallizing noise.
Wonderful film again! I'm looking forward to your next adventure.
Seriously amazing video guys. Unbelievable footage.
This is the most mental thing I have ever seen he says!! Coming from a guy that was hit front on and dragged side ways in a car by a lorry. 😂
Was it Ellie Goulding the woman who was there when the lorry finally stopped?
It was!@@r0b41
No Jack, no one will ever let you forget 😂
Not often you get a video that's both informative and respectful (considering the circumstances), Ethan & Jack did very well on this one. The sound the lava made was actually mind blowing, i didn't think it made anything. Well i stand corrected.
I think the community as a whole should give these two guys a clap 👏👏
I totally agree we must give it likes and shares so this goes as far and wide as possible :)
Volcanos aren't something I'm particularly interested in, but I've seen a handful of videos in the past about them along the lines of Tom Scott's content and somehow none of them were able to convey how much of an impact they have on the landscape as well as you guys did here, I dunno whether it was all the footage or how you were talking about/explaining things, but it really put across how devastating it is
That drone footage of the bubbling volcano is unreal and the footage of the glowing popping and cracking rock gave me shivers, amazing effort boys, 10/10
6 months ago I was watching you guys mess around with an old Volvo, now I'm watching you document volcanic activity! Absolutely love this channel and what you guys are doing!
Much respect for the sensitivity you both showed in this video, as well as well as taking the time to explain. I knew about the eruptions but I had no idea about the massive amount of earthworks they had put in.
I can see why you made this a separate video from the rest of the Iceland trip
Cannot believe that this only has 70k views tbh. This is unreal. THIS is news, and it’s not even getting any coverage in the media (not that I’ve seen anyway). ATG have really done this justice, no clickbait, not over-dramatised, just a proper look at an unbelievable real life thing that’s happening right now.
On 18th December last year, I was sat on a plane waiting to take off from Keflavik airport. We were the last plane out that evening, having been delayed three hours. While we were waiting for the plane to be deiced, I looked out of the window to my left and saw the fissure erupt, right before my eyes. It was 11 miles away but looked much closer as lava leapt 100m into the air.
Not quite believing what I was seeing, I informed a flight attendant who was alright in their seat waiting for takeoff. We spent the next three hours on the plane, mostly enjoying the show as we waited for takeoff clearance. Some passengers were clearly scared. Some deboarded, not wishing to take the chance of not being able to get back home to Iceland so close to Christmas.
It was an incredible experience but yours is so much more. I know this is primarily a motoring channel but please continue to make this kind of content. I’ve been following the Icelandic eruptions since November and this is one of the most incredible, close-up looks I’ve seen.
I really enjoyed this video. Yes it's a more serious one but having this kind of quality content in amongst your other, more familiar, quality stuff is a welcome change of pace.
Its insane how quickly an entire landscape could change just by a slight shift in the tectonic plates
I love a channel that can do lighthearted but then mix it with some more serious and interesting videos. Keep it upn
I’ve spent some time in Grindavík and it breaks my heart. A wonderful town, wonderful residents. Wonderful country 🇮🇸
This series has been one of the best things I've seen on UA-cam for ages
Awesome Lads, loved every minute of this. I’m so looking forward to seeing more content and watching the channel grow, you deserve the success 🙏🤩
My wife will be in Iceland from tomorrow until next Saturday. They were due to go to that area. I’ve told her not to be looking forward to it….i’ll show her this 😂
This really reminds me of Lapindo disaster in my home country in Indonesia. instead of lava it's gasious mud from a rogue oil drilling, and it has consumed like a whole big city, the perimeters are surounded by tall earth barier like in the video and the height is similar, varying from 8-12 metres.
A master piece in documentary video, all the facts explained in a simple interesting manor with total empathy for the former inhabitants of Grindavik. Jack’s one liners always crack me up but as you have shown there is a time and a place. Ethan’s 20 years at CT in an editorial role were not wasted.
My god I wasn't prepared for this. This is really mentally intense and challenging
Aloha guys , Thanks for taking us along on this Awe Inspiring journey , the drone footage was spectacular. I'm an EX Pat living on the Big Island of Hawaii & that footage is identical to what we had over here in 2018 when Kilauea erupted , fissures destroyed homes and one of the most beautiful beaches was gone forever . The Lava flow looks identical , thanks again from Hawaii .
Should go get a cheap shit box 4x4 mod it for camping then go over to Chernobyl and stay there for s few days and do like what you did in this video it was a good watch
No problem you guys doing the occasional serious episode in your usual lighthearted banter, especially when it's done as well as this. This whole series on Iceland has been fantastic viewing. Can't wait to see the next adventure - you're making your own voice on UA-cam, that's excellent, thank you!
Ethan and jack, keep up the good work, so happy your both still making videos
10th Of november i was in that town evacuating people as a Search and Rescue Personnel. The Search and rescue team in that town house was moving back and forward from the shakes with a lot of people inside it was crazy.
Great video guys, and it proves you can tackle serious issues as well as the light humoured stuff and calling each other man-parts. More of this please, you're quite good at it.
Fully agreed. Such easy watching yet so interesting
I'm used to enjoying your light hearted videos, but this was a genuinely great, serious video! Well done!
Enjoyed watching!
The earth doing earth things! Just like Hawaii, all formed by those volcanos. Man builds on the land and has to roll the dice sometimes, earth takes no prisoners.
Wow, very interesting, and at some points, eerie video. Well presented guys, in a way that understands the sensitivity of the situation whilst highlighting the force nature can have. Very good work 👏🏽
This feels like a tom scott video in the best way
Guys… what a video. That was an amazing personal view of the devastation the volcanos and earth quakes are causing. You really told the story well, and gave great account of people’s life there.
Looking forward to more videos from you, hope this new channel works out for you
Wow, amazing video Jack & Ethan! Viewing nature's fury is humbling. When i was a kid, we visited the Mt St Helens site a year or two after its eruption in 1982. The devastation was immense, even a year or two later. Something ill never forget seeing.
I actually preferred that to your tour video as it was more in depth and human :)
THIS IS WHAT WE PLAY FORRRR!
Man alive I love this fucking channel. You guys are doing such a great job
Six videos in, and you are the best 'car' channel on youtube. Amazing.
Been to Iceland before and it is truly spectacular. I do still find it mad that you can be in bed and then by lunchtime be like in the Alps or in Iceland I totally get where Ethan is coming from.
I love how you guys do something else from the others. It’s not only a motor channel like every other, but you bring a story and adventure to the table. Well done guys!
This was mega, well done. My only critique from the other vid was the lack of info (what causes a Geeza? etc..), but the best shows on telly are always informative and this is spot on.
lads, im so glad you both decided to start this channel, its superb. keep up the good work
Here is an idea for your channel guys - travel to each country in Europe, spend a week driving through it in the most popular car there. You could either go by google numbers or put a pole with your community and the locals voting which is the most popular car there aka the car you see the most on the roads.
Man, I gotta watch this again! Really impactful.... but....

I did not see a single fish!? Kept going on about the fishes!!? 🤔
Epic vid, excellent filming. Not the norm, but fascinating none the less... X
Great video guys!
I bet the day you guys went for interviews with CT you never thought it would put you on a path to watch a volcano erupt...
Just noticed how 2003 Ethan's hair cut is!
Fantastic drone footage of the volcano!
How has this only done 100k views. UA-cam, your algorithm has failed.
The sounds the lava flow was making are unreal. Very disconcerting, not just to see the earth itself bubble and boil but to hear it. Great work.
This is top teir content. Watched you ever since the beginning when you first presented Car Throttle. This is quickly becoming my favourite Automotive channel. Keep it up guys ❤
****** Give this video a LIKE, these guys deserve it *******
Great video chaps - entirely different from your normal content but excellent indeed.
Living your best lives lads! Im both jealous and happy for you! Hope car throttle is watching yous
Mates, I know this is a departure for the content you've been making for a number of years now, but you really nailed the quality here. Emotional, educational, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Very well done!
Where is the 'love' button? What a great little film. Exciting, spectacular, informative, unique, honest, and moving as well. Bravo.
What an incredible video, I wasn’t expecting history and geography, but you’re absolutely killing it.
Genuinely great to see something tackled in an informative, interesting and respectful way on UA-cam. You excelled yourselves here. (And my son found it really interesting as well). There's room for this kind of content amongst the banter and frivolity so don't shy away from it!!!
