'Once an ancient viking burial ground' sounds quite apt
WOW - natural fiberglass! And obsidian! What an amazing event!
Diamonds.
I've been watching this volcano from day to day since it's beginning.
Are you Icelandic?
@@2degucitas I wish.
i followed it a few weeks before when one of the iceland people was predicting something was going to happen with all the earthquakes, too :D What a time to be alive and have so many people document it for us
@@2degucitas i am
Me too. They grow up so fast and soon this child will be off to college.
I love the timbre of his voice. He’s blessed.
truly lucky to be alive during an event like this. i can only imagine how it must feel to see it with your own eyes
nah not worth jogging 2:30 hours just to see something that u can see on a screen

Great coverage!
Saw it in person a few days ago, and it was one of the most amazing things I have ever seen. If you get the chance, I highly recommend going to see it.
Yeah, I would, but Covid... :/
That's some awesome camerawork. It really captured the beauty of the land.
I agree. The clip at the end 13:12 was amazing. I can only imaging how hot that drone got flying over that!
@@garman1966 exactly what I was thinking
@@garman1966 Drones have given their lives for good footage.
Search for "Geldingadalir drone", there's tons of truly awesome video on you tube.
@@RayMerrell68 check out Bjorn Steinbekk here on CZcams. He's got the best drone videos
It would be super interesting to get the sounds on very high def audio. There is one from Mt Etna and the sounds give me goose bumps. It exudes a primal power that humans cannot truly wrap their brains around.
Katla is what Astrid Lindgren named the dragon in Brothers Lionheart. It had an eruption when she was a kid and I guess it left an impression on her.
Yooo I had completely forgotten about that book / movie. Thanks for clearing up my confused connotations!
There's also a new Netflix show called Katla, a mystery story in the area of the volcano, after its next eruption.
I was there last night. For the third time. It was so nice!
Iceland is a "bucket list" type of destination. Only a 5 hour flight from Boston.
You'll never make it
We flew over it on our way to the UK years ago. I wanted to ask the pilot if we could stop for a bit.
Been there. Once in the month of January and once in the month of august. Loved it.
PS.......FORGO THE SHARK.
@@danepotmo2513 lol
The key thing i take way from this is when he said “it only tells us what going on until 9miles deep”. The earths crust alone is between 3 to 43 miles deeps . To get to the center of the earth is 3958miles. The deepest man, any man has ever drilled is 12kms or 7.4 miles
Well we do know a lot about the inside from how it transmits vibrations from earthquakes. So at least we know it's not hollow.
Since Iceland straddles the boundary where two plates are moving apart, the crust is relatively thin here. Hence magma (underground melted rock) can easily reach the surface.
@@SeedFactoryProject It can easily reach the surface anywhere where magna has built up...all it takes is the trigger...the gases initiating pressure. Reaching the surface is like an afterthought.
@@kedrednael You would probably enjoy the documentaries on the polar shift relative to the earths core. They go into detail about the center of the earth. Yes, it is not hollow but 'it is' liquid - hot roiling liquid. It is this center that gives the earth its magnetism b/c it is almost all iron metal there, an ever-changing quantity of roiling hot metal. Search, "Polar Shift" in You Tube Search Bar, and out of all the videos that will come up, look for the one that has a smiling, curlishly-thin-haired man sitting, looking at you, who is so cute as to look like a hobbit...in a room that looks very much like his very own lab and one you might find in a hobbit hole. It's about 52 minutes and the best I've found on this fascinating subject.
@@maggiemargaret1412 I can't find that documentary... I've scrolled a long way searching for something matching that description. Do you have any more clues? I'm really interested and am totally in the mood for a decent documentary :)
I check the live streams daily. It has changed a lot and I really wish I could travel to go see it in person.
Link, please.😁
@@spideywhiplash Ruv.is and mbl.is both have live streams.
Ruv.is has 2 views of the cone. 1 of the camera's in Geldingadalir is a bit wonky, the other camera in Langihryggur pans to show the flow into the valley below
I found out you have to submit to being a lab rat, if you want in.
@@patriciaboyer2675 Thank you for the links.
@@amandathurston2720 Idiot.
Iceland requires testing proof of no Covid plus quarantine straight from airport, or have proof of a vaccine.
Look at YT Dr. John Campbell for science based Covid information.
Here at end of August, it was so impressive even back then, but it continues to grow even larger and impress.
GutnTog has the best videos on the volcano 🌋 erupting and the flow of lava rivers. Great tour guide.
I love his videos!
If you are new to this, check out the live cameras that have been set up. You can also rewind on those, so there more views than just what is happening currently. Join the fun! It has been a wild, wild show for over 2 months now.
After more than a dozen trips, he hasn't learned to pan slowly. I quit watching because his camerawork makes me dizzy.

Another great source. A map of the original fissure, all volcanos, moving lava.
Yes He does!
Now entering Mordor with Mt. Doom just around the corner. The local Vblogers are having field day. Epic eruption complete with lava fountain, lava bombs, lava falls, lava river, lava rapids, lava, lava and more lava! After hiking all day you can soak in a natural hot spring. Fantastic!
I'm surprised no one's tried throwing a ring in there yet.
Wow!!! That drone shot at the end was crazy cool!!!
Beautiful, thank you 60mins 🤗
the most interesting thing about this video is that 60 minutes is still a thing. good for them. :)
Yes, thankfully they haven't sunken to New Zealands version of '60 Minutes' or 'Seven Sharp' level.
Fantastic photography. Thank you it truly IS mesmerising
Excellent report. Congratulations, 60 Minutes! 👍🏽
5.4 on the Richter scale. For those who don’t know, (and I learned this after the California earthquakes from a few years ago) the Richter scale is exponential. It increases by a factor of 30. So, an 8.0 magnitude earthquake is 30x stronger than a 7.0, and a magnitude 9 earthquake is 900x the power of a 7... magnitude 10 is 27,000 times the power of a 7. An 11 is 840,000 times a 7 etc.
Your examples of logarithmic scale are good, but we haven't used the Richter scale for a few decades now - instead we use the Moment Magnitude Scale: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moment_magnitude_scale
@Andy Man The informed.
One of the most spectacular gifts of nature. Thank you 60 mintues
Just sat here in awe for the 13 minutes of this clip. Truly something so magnificent and beyond our imagination and capacity to fully understand. The world continues to show for us just how little we have seen, and fully understand.
The way he called the volcano is gail-ding-a-dollar. LOL I'm erupting with a burst of laughs hahaha
He actually pronounced it pretty well.
@@ErrorCDIV I second this.
And that is actually just the name of the valley it came, the volcano's real name is Fagradalshraun.
It's funny cause the name ''Geldingadalur'' literally means ''Castration walley'' or ''Eunuch walley''. They walley is located in a mountain called ''Fagradalsfjall'' or "Pretty Walley Mountain''. I guess it is quite pretty. If you are Sauron from Lord of the Rings.
He sayd it near perfect, said not sayd
Stunning. I would love to visit Iceland someday.
Go. It's stunning.
If that's a Viking burial ground, they're REALLY buried now.
Entombed better than in any mausoleum!
probably the way they would want it. livin' good in Valhalla
That claim is nonsense. *None* of the other news coverage has said anything similar, just hype.
Excellent. Just an excellent presentation.
Love 60 mins. One of the best shows and i always try to watch.
Went up there with my 11year old son . What a sight to behold.
This is THE MOST beautiful volcano ever!!
You are more beautiful than a Iceland volcano
@@jerryinohio1978 you... are.... corny 🌽🌽🌽
EXACTLY like the volcano in Hawaii, the land unzipped in numerous vents, and then settled on one major vent spewing lava.
Its amazing - loved being able to see it up front with my own eyes as many Icelanders
Heppin!
Check out Mt. Nyirangongo in DRC that erupted on Saturday.
sometimes 60 minutes has some interesting stories, this is one of them
I just returned from Iceland where I got to see this still going. I ♥️ Ísland!
he has the nicest smile ive ever seen
Meanwhile the most dangerous Volcano on Earth just erupted in the Repulic of Congo on the border of Rwanda.
Massive Lava flows.
Who says it’s the “most dangerous volcano on earth”?
That's been all over my news feed on CZcams
@@ophello The risk is it could release a cloud of trapped CO2 gas, and suffocate everyone nearby.
Biblical prophecies with erupting volcanoes coming to pass in the “end of days”.
@@the_observer9786 The book of Zachariah and end of days described in Psalms 104:32.
Always wanted to play the floor is lava in real life.
Hawai'i Volcano National Park....you won't have to pretend. It's quite a sight to behold. If you want. you can reach out you hand and touch it (but of course, you'll lose a finger and need immediate medical attention).
I just wanna play the mtn is lava coming from the PNW of america. Mt St Helens was a n awesome geological classroom b4 it wasnt. Iceland is could caldera at some point
The people in Leilani Estates experienced that
The floor is lava! The floor is lava! your it!
@@stephanier6783 tffzzez xyuunnyeq woiuu
Absolutely fascinating report.
I am so happy you and the kids are going home and will see it up close and person ❤️.
I like the live volcano cams. They are mesmerizing.
Lava's sooo cute and adorable...I just love it!! I wish everyone had fresh lava!!!
Cheers for the video mate! 😎
I have followed this sense a month before and it was almost something that was not going to happen, the thinking was lava tunnels causing all the seismic activity, but as it got closer to the surface, they pretty much had the eruption area pin pointed, then it broke through and it was calm and fun to see for the locals to go right up to. It has been fun to follow because it kept changing, and simply for what it is, new crust being born. My fear of watching 60M was that they would sum how blame it on global warming, so thankful they did not. However
I do encourage everyone to do a search on 60M retractions and be prepared to be astounded, so I watch this one just to see more video. It is fun to see every day if and how it changes.
Very good video. Thank You. Stay safe. 🙏
Hej Stefan! Jättefint samtal, intressant och spännande.Tack!
i live here in iceland in the capital.
before the volcano we had earthquakes everyday for like month straight even longer until the volcano errupted then the earthquakes stopped.
This was very well made. I’ve been waiting for a mini documentary-style video on Fagradalshraun.
Yeah, thats the only flaw: calling the eruptionsite the wrong Icelandic name :) As you say, it is Fagradalshraun - directly translated: beautifulvalleyslava - and not Geldingadalir, which means eunucsvalley :)
Could this be sign Earth has a problem. Now look other earth K2 18B has water found in 2019
@@earthalienzapa3237 This is completely normal, my guy. Eruptions like these happen every couple years in Iceland, and it just so happened that an eruption occurred in a part of Iceland that hasn’t erupted in a long time.
@@pernillesuewinton5558 My guess is this documentary was made while the name was still being decided. To be honest, the name Geldingadalir sounds badass from an English speaker’s perspective anyways lol.
WOW, that was amazing
Icelandic people hike to valcano,. 60 minutes takes fancy 4x4's and helicopters. You also rarely see the locals wearing any protective clothing or masks. They cook hotdogs, and make CZcams videos. 🌋😁
My coworker climbed on top of the fresh lave. Idiot. She could have lost her legs or worse.
Also one school mate of mine has a picture of himself proposing to his girlfriend with the eruption as backdrop! (She said 'yes')
Notice ...
there's NO trash.
I’ve been watching this for weeks , but I see this telecast resulting in a huge increase in volcano tourists
Geldingadalir sounds like LOTR's mountain name... this is remarkable indeed.
Excellent interview.
8:42 Lava milkshakes, lava contact lenses, lava suppositories. I just gets better and better!
It's nice to hear about the newest volcano 😅🌋
Great video! Super interesting.
Pretty cool segment.
got lucky to watch the eruption again on 9/11/2021. it is worth every step of almost 3 hour hike
Great segment.
"Prehistoric rocks littered the fields..." - I thought the whole point was that these are YOUNG rocks?
Young in geological time.
Along the sides of the road on the way to the site. The current lava is still fairly contained, but the entire surrounding area consists of ancient lava fields.
He was discussing the existing landscape on the way to the volcano
if any of the rocks were from before recorded history, which from a geological time scale still very young, he would not be wrong
9 miles deep! It truly is a Journey to the Center of the Earth.
9 miles down isn't even a fraction of the way to the center of the earth, it's not even past the earth's crust.
@@feonor26 missing the Jules Verne reference?
Cool stuff for sure. Would love to go one day🙌
Enjoyed this very much! Thanks!

Who on earth dislikes volcanos? Ugh they are amazing.
Dangerous,,But So So Beautifully!!!❤️🌹❤️
holy CRAP that last shot is INSANE!
Earth being formed in front of these cameras. Brilliantly shot
Awesome Volcano!
Two years ago Hawaii volcanos now it is in Iceland. The year I spent in Iceland from 1993 to 1994 there was very little volcanic activity. Be thankful there is no towns like Leilani Estates, Hawaii near the volcano.
We get volcanic eruptions every 6 years almost like clockwork! Google it!
Wooow. Beautiful
And this Primal Process is a Driving Force and Beautiful to the Core
So beautiful
Excellent
Those rocks when they fall sound a lot like broken glass. It's very odd!
amazing beauty and power!!
Interesting report. Nice presentation.
What a great video! 👍
"Lava Dogs" yes please
Creation in action - incredible!
This is epic Firework.
Less than 30 kilometers from my hometown. And I live abroad now. I guess I´ll have to wait for the next one.
Still going strong 💪
What a volcano 🌋
What awesome power and beauty.
Love the voice of this narrator. I am fascinated by Volcanoes.

well done thanks
La Soufrière, St Vincent erupted on April 9th. It has blanketed a third of our island in ash displacing 20,000 people and the SO2 has circled the globe more than once. NASA says: “Of the 45 currently erupting volcanoes on Earth, La Soufrière is among those that worry volcanologists the most.” The University of The West Indies Seismic Unit was able to give us a two day warning which saved lives and have uncovered groundbreaking information on volcanology. But this is what you have as your top story...
Been lots of volcanos popping off last few years.
Hello, 60 minutes. The richter scale is not used for decades, since about 1970. It's "Moment Magnitude" or simply "magnitude".
Thing is that practically nobody knows this...
Spectacular.
Wow that's sweet
