RVK Newscast #88: The Geldingadal’s Volcano May Last For Years
Vložit
- čas přidán 23. 03. 2021
- The basalt lava from the volcano at Geldingadalir comes from a deeper place than any that has come from volcanoes in that area for over seven millenia. It arrives from around 20 kilometres deep, meaning-as one scientist said-that this is like having an express connection to the centre of the earth.
And this volcano could be here to stay. Scientists are saying now that it could be an effusive eruption, and historically some of those have gone on for decades. This-and more-in our latest newscast.

Suddenly, this is one of my favourite channels on CZcams. Funny, relevant, very informative - good job, guys!
Me too!!!
Always has been. :P
Totally agree m8. Hes a character
Me to, I can't wait for fo a new video upload!
And the Big Bear Bald Eagle Cam. ❤️👍🙂
I'm in America. I had no idea that this week I would be watching a newsperson from Iceland and absolutely loving it. I don't know if newspeople in Iceland are all like this guy but I love his personality and the way he reports his news stories. Even his dog is adorable and entertaining. The camera man does such a great job. He always positions the camera in the most interesting angle possible and how he walks through this terrain and the wind while keeping the camera steady I'll never know but it's great to be watching something moving without getting motion sick.
Whether this volcano keeps going or stops, I will still be taking the time to watch this everyday just because it's so interesting to see how people are that live in a county so far away from me. I am so glad that forever reason that CZcams recommended a video of this team a few days ago. I am hooked!!! Great work all of you. I hope you get rich from your CZcams channel. You and your team deserve it!!!
Me too! I agree from North Carolina. I'll be there as soon as my passport comes thru! So excited! Got my second shot today! Sending a scratch behind the ears and a good cuddle to Polly!
Same here , I'm from Quebec and find it fascinating !
I watched every day the eruption in Hawaii , and now I want to keep track of this eruption, fascinated in New Jersey, USA.
I can't agree more Katie. I feel the same way! I actually am going to try the Einstok beer to LOL...
Me to from Michigan right now this is probably one the 10 th wonders of the world 🥰STAY SAFE EVERYONE
Thank you for taking that long walk to be close to the volcano. You have become the eyes and ears for so many of us watching this event from around the world. Thank You!!!!!!
Wow, so much has been changed already since your last video!
Please keep making update-video's like this. This volcano is a beauty!
THE FLOOR IS LAVA! :D
I like how with media the volcano has brought people together.
After all the earthquakes it's such a relief to see such a pure spectacle emerge.
Valur and Art, thank you so much! We all look forward to these fantastic moments. You are an excellent presenter, Valur, and your videography is so perfect, Art!! I am a fanatic about Iceland and your videos are the best! Greetings from 🇨🇦
I share Esme's enthusiasm for your reporting and video coverage. From a geological standpoint, I think you would be more accurate referring to the CONE at the VENT of the eruption. Thanks again, and stay safe.
I'm so happy for you guys that after all the earthquakes and fear of what may happen, THIS is what your island home gives to you in the end, a new tourist attraction just at a time when millions of people that have been cooped up at home by Covid are able to start traveling again.
Also... props once again to your trusty mountain goat cameraman Art for doing such a great job.
Valur is an amazing character probably the best presenter I have seen, no script straight of the cuff I had not seen him before until this eruption put Iceland on the map around the world. And he makes me chuckle I can't waite to see more of his news items.
Every morning now I make my coffee, jiggle my mouse and come straight here to the only news that matters to me! Great channel.
Be careful! You could be prosecuted for cruelty to mice!!!😱😜
@@lauraarcher6996 Snake owners do far worse to mice!
The road to the volcano ... I love it!
Hello again from Wales GB, what a delight this channel has morphed into, keep it going, i just love it. Hope all Icelanders are safe and well, got some home made bread might come over and cook myself some toast, love and blessings to you all ❤❤❤
I got a shout out from Valur!!! That has completely made my day.
Don't jinx it!
@@SparkieNeisti LOL! It's snowing there right now, so I think I might have already done something! I'm not sure they'll let me in the country next time I fly to Iceland.
@@mikerichards6065 You only have yourself to blame! 😁
@@SparkieNeisti I'm a monster!
I couldn't resist. Thanks for the brilliant comments.
Gentlemen, thank you so much for bringing this to my house, the excitement and wonder from England is great. Pity I can't visit in person, perhaps I will be able to visit later in the year. Compared to the volcano and lava the people on the hill side all look to be so small! Lucky with the weather too, you missed the snow storms. The changes in just a few days are immense, so lucky to be able to view this eruption day by day. I doubt Katla will be as friendly!
That's incredible how different the area looks compared to your previous video. Volcanos are so fascinating.
I love Valur’s cheerfulness and humour, very refreshing indeed. Kudos to Art’s work behind the camera as well. Looking forward to many more videos from you guys.
Long time viewer here! I’m so happy that you’re channel is growing! 💕
That was so cool! I've been watching the fixed camera feeds over the past days but will now also tune in to this vlog news. However that commentator is his dry humor is a blast.
I am watching from Australia. This is the best coverage. I feel like I am right there. Thank you.
For my how cant travel to this beautiful volcano, your video is pure gold and a breath of air in these weird times. Sometimes we forget how beautiful and wonderful our world is, thank you for reminding us this and do the walking and filmings the things we can't see for ourselves.
Mother Earth is really stunning and very beautiful in her ferocity. Thank you Valur for your awesome video. xx 💖
The popular video he mentioned got more views than there are people that live in Iceland.
It is killing me that I can't come there to see the eruption, so if it erupts longer, I will be stoked! After my second vaccine dose takes effect, I'll be watching flights like a hawk!
Thank you so much for your hard work , never seen anything like this before
hello Valur, thanks for the interesting news. Kudos to your team. I hope Polly is fine. LG
Thank you, and Pollý is good.
Thank you for upload . Love your channel. O my gosh, It has filled the whole valley . Lava lake. Another Great video THANK YOU .
Thanks quite the tourist attraction, have worked in a foundry, looks like molten brass when being poured from the crucible, the lava field looks very different. has grown, very good video
amazing journalism!! can't wait to get back
With journalism dying in the USA, this is so refreshing.
@@kerrysmith1899 so true 👍
YOUR AWESOME IN coverage, information & camera work of this captivating Iceland's volcano event!👍😀. Wish could be there to explore more of Iceland! As a DIS (Danish program) undergrad student heading for semester studies in Copenhagen, we landed at your capital's international airport, but only had 2 hours so could not venture far!🤣
Living in Hawaii years lateri I visit Kileaua Volcano on Big Island several times close up over 7 years, and once got to see it eventually pour lava into the ocean! Watched this volcanos activity from Mainland wishing could visit there back in 2018.
Now your volcano has renewed my great interest and if continues just where the lava goes once the valley is filled! I'll will be watching in wonder from Missouri, USA!
Many thanks for your awesome coverage, keep safe and see you on more updates! Cheers!
Greetings from Maine! Wish we could have reporters around my area like this. Very informative and entertaining to watch! Got my subscription! Amongst Norway and other Scandinavian countries Iceland is officially high on my list to come visit now. Hopefully get my chance to see the volcano. Of course once covid is all over 😉. Stay safe!
I’m so happy to have found you guys! Your country is beautiful. Hope you are all safe.
“Boring, ridiculous story, and really no one cared about this valley before this happened.” 😂 I love the trademark Icelandic frankness. 😂
Local man reporting MUCH info about an amazing world event!! Knowledge is wisdom and power youngster. :)
I am so happy that you are getting more subscribers, views and your a CZcams “thing” in Iceland. Been watching your channel since beginning of Coronavirus in 2020. It’s a great channel, your stories are really interesting & your a great broadcaster. Iceland’s lucky to have you representing. Fan from Boston in the US (by the way...love Polly)
Wow only in days how big the volcano has got
Great report thank you
All the best from New Zealand
Great show! I recall fondly The Volcano Show in downtown Reykjavik back in the 1980s. Thanks for carrying on that fine tradition. Well done!
Thank you RVK, Valur and the cameraman for being the eyes and ears for us!
Greetings from Oregon, USA. My husband and I are loving your coverage and look forward to each new installment. We are now paid subscribers and love to support your work. Fell in love with your country my first visit in 1972, was amazed at the changes in Reykjavik on my next two visits in 2019.
3:57 I’m in Colorado in the United States. My house is at 10,000ft. (3048m) exactly. It’s always interesting to see what constitutes a mountain around the world.
The news here seems to always be bleak and hopeless these days. I never thought I’d say that news of a volcanic eruption would be a breath of fresh air but it has been. These gentlemen are standing within spitting distance of molten earth talking about how wonderful the weather is for volcano viewing and how nonthreatening this event really is.
If the volcano keeps going soon you’ll no longer have a valley to call Geldingadalir. Good excuse to rename the place? 😏
Geldingsfjell?
Roast Your Balls Lava Lake.
@@RogerWKnight All in favor say "Aye"!
We call the two cones "Thor's Twins" I see the smaller one has caught up in size!
Geldingadair grows a big one....payback is hell
I am 65 and have wanted to go to Iceland all my life. If it wasn't for the travel ban, l would be on the next flight to join you all there. But then again, so would thousands of others. Maybe its not a bad thing that we can't get there. I'm sooo envious. What a fantastic place. Thank you for all your filming.
Thank you for showing / telling us so many unic information and beautiful and scaring landscape.
Great to see the route. And the Volcano is looking Epic..
I've just discovered your videos. What an amazing time you've had with the volcano! I wish I was there to see it. Thanks for sharing all of this information! Your country is beautiful.
Thanks for the tea.....all good wishes to you and all there.
Love these videos, cheers from Ireland 🇮🇪
Another fantastic newscast! Timely updates on the volcano and Covid as things continue to evolve. Hats off to the RG team, and, of course, Polly!
Thanks for doing the hike on our behalf! Looking forward to making a return trip to Iceland once Covid has gone ...
Thank you for the up date fire and ice fantastic viewing for us in the uk 🇬🇧 we have some Icelandic weather this week
Skol!
Enjoy the snow and wind. Skál!
Great work, just subscribed. Greetings from Germany.
This channel is basically my favourite channel of all time🤗
Thank you so much, keep it comming🙏🏽👏🏽🌼
Thank you for sharing. Greetings from Denmark 👋👋
Just amazing !!!! Thank you !
This is my new favorite show! I love this guy
I look forward to these updates. Every one is a gem. The camera person is doing a fantastic job as well. Please keep these episodes coming!
Brilliant, Valur! You addressed all the issues my wife and I were wondering about. Keep up these fantastic videos.
Wow what a fabulous adventure!!! Thanks for bringing us along :)
Id like to suggest that Icelandic National Parks set out the trail with red flags on metal stakes. If the clouds come down and heavy fog, as happened the first day, people may miss that path you have so nicely made, (Thank you!) so the little red flags fairly close together to see thru heavy fog would be helpful. I heard many people in Iceland get lost out in the wilderness when the clouds come down, or heavy blizzards and thick fog obscure the trails, so you should know best how close they need to be. This is so wonderful! We love your reporter and his dog Polly. He is such a great guy! Polly is a wonderful 1st National Pathfinder Doggie! I just worried about dog lungs and volcanic fumes. Are doggies more sensitive than we are? Thank you also for the cutest little volcano your side of the Pecos River! Enjoy! Enjoy!
Wow, all the new information about this eruption being covered by you and your team is INCREDIBLE! Stay safe and keep your videos coming!
American here, Hey it might be a great idea to add a quick video of the eruption to the update opening for, "he Reykjavík Grapevine." Love you guys!
Absolutely amazing! Wish i was there to actually see and hear it for myself. Take care!
Awesome! Thanks. Great to see it evolve in contrast to your early video.
I'd love to visit this volcano, I thoroughly believe I will at some point, but it's impossible at the moment.
Watching these videos is the next best thing. In fact....it's possibly better because someone else is doing the long hike for us!
Keep up the great work Valur & the Grapevine team!
Amazing report. Thanks so much for the info, fascinating stuff! fab job! greeting from Spain!
What an attraction! The perfect size and remoteness for volcano tourism.
Another very informative video, big thank you to your camera man for his brilliant shots.
From ameroca thank you for sharing love it can not stop viewing
Thank you again! Stay safe! Watching from Idaho, USA.
Very enjoyable to tag along and see!
Great reporting! Thank you. Quick question: did you share what the distance is from the volcano to where you are standing at 7.07 minutes in this video? It appears the lava is still red right where you all are reporting.
Continue to stay safe. Your updates are fascinating. X0 from US. PS your covid management success is awesome. Congrats.
Everyone is doing a great job of covering the volcano but I enjoy your videos the most! This one was crazy, starting with shirt sleeves and sun then winter coat, cap, gloves and it is snowing! I can’t wait to come to Iceland! Say hi to Polly!
How nice that a path was made for people. Incredible to see new land forming.
I also just told my wife I may need some 66º North gear after watching all of these videos! Thanks for the link! And for the tea link!
This is wonderful. Thank you so much x
New sub from Colorado, USA- Love it! Thank you, for sharing. Just awesome!
glad to hear that the volcanic activity is being monitored for safety, thanks for sharing 👍
Thanks for updates and sharing this amazing volcano )
Why were you askedto evacuate the area at the end? Is there ongoing measurements for uplift etc in the area? What an incredible landscape. Wow! The Castration Valley is really filling up, before you could stand on the valley floor, now must stand on hills to view safely!
In another video he said the reason for being asked to move was worry about gas, mostly carbon monoxide (CO) which is odourless and heavier than surrounding air so tends to fill in any depressions in the landscape. Humans, animals that went into a depression filled with CO would lose consciousness in a few seconds and soon die, so rescue officials want people to keep away from depressions such as the areas down next to the edge of the lave lake.
I saw you last shivering and black stormy clouds. Then this opens with you sweating, shirtsleeves and what looks like a sunburn! I really enjoy your channel!
I'm just loving the way this has been recieved by people. It's just so cool!
I found grapevine the day the volcano erupted...so exciting! I've been going back to his past reports with his sidekick, trusted Polly! And of course the camera guy(we never see).The video is tremendous...it makes me want to hike, hike, hike! Just working through his accent, but thankfully it's english. The Sagas series is fantastic!
Amazing sights. Thank you for bringing it to the world. There's no way I'd ever make it up there with my bad fibromyalgia. Just watching you guys makes my muscles want to hurts. But I'm really in enjoying exploring the world on CZcams with kind folks like you.
Lovely video!
The first part of the name of the valley, 'Gelding'adilir is also English for a young castrated horse
I have been twice to Iceland and fell in love with your wonderful island. Your people are so friendly.
Just subscribed
Thanks so much! 😊
I've noticed the walk down the hill to get to the lava flow is getting shorter
Awesome!!! Much love from California. Love this report. Please keep up the great work, and be careful!!!
Thank you for the beautiful views and all of the information.
Just amazing. Still a long hike for everyone. How did they make the paths? Do we get to see your cameraman and how does he film and walk so smoothly? Thank you for your updates, I can't wait for the next one. So nice to see you care about safety. Take care and hi to Polly.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience. A lovely informative and funny video. I cannot wait for the next one. Take care
from V'ron xx
Nice reporting. There is a live stream of the volcano but the resolution is not great. Your video is beautiful. More raw footage of the volcano would be appreciated. Thanks Mark
Really enjoying these reports Valur, very imformative and entertaining, lets hope this is still going when we can travel again, cant wait to come to 'The Rock" to see this
GREAT VIDEO, Thank you so much!!!
Wow! Valur! I can't believe how much more lava filled up the valley since you first took us there! And even since just sundown last night! GOOOOOOLLLY! Please show us a piece of the lava and how sparkly it is! It always amazes me to see things of brightest color from a place of utter darkness! I hope the volcano will keep on erupting until I can come to see it!
It's incredible, right? Also, it does feel possible that the eruption could go on for months, even years. So you could be in luck Wendy.
@@TheReykjavikGrapevine ...you know, it would add weight to your journey from there, but a few rocks, busted up when home, and offered on your site for sale would more than pay for your expenses going out there....just sayin
Valur great commentary and have enjoyed all the jokes about how difficult your place names are to pronounce. I played with a translation app and have come up with a possible name: Þú getur borið það eldfjall. “ You Can Pronounce It Volcano”
You are a very good presser and explain things so well. Thank you
outstanding stuff .... dont stop showing us all the action :)
Thank you so much for your calm and rational report. I'm so happy for you...your excitement is obvious. Glad too that you're mindful of the dangers and set an example. Enjoy your volcano...such history in the making! ps....I don't think your clothes will suit my sunny climate here in Australia, but when I finally get to Iceland, I'll know where to buy :)
That entire mound is liquid underneath. That is also know as a volcanic field because there are several fissures tied to one magma chambers.
We so look forward to your broadcasts! Maybe show a couple of drawings of the volcanic process on divergent plate boundaries -
Another good video, I enjoy your commentary and descriptions. . I think it looks like everyone in Iceland was there today. I saw someone was riding a bike there so they must have had a hard time going up the mountain. I understand they will put a road into the volcano so us old people can drive in. I see your subscriptions has increased a lot in the last 2 or 3 days, good for you . The world knows who you are now !!!
i AM IN OREGON u.s. AND THANK TOU FOR YOUR UPDATES ON THE VOLCANOS. BE SAFE, ANNMARIE
I hope it is still there in a couple of months so I can see this volcano maybe on a day trip to Iceland from the UK if I can get a really cheap Easyjet flight there and back from London Luton Airport. I heard it is not too far from Keflavik International Airport. Having to stay longer is very expensive in Iceland!!
We have been stuck at home far too long here in the UK due to the national COVID lockdown, I need break, it is just getting so boring here!!
