- Meradalir Volcano Eruption on August 5, 2022. Today I have made my 2nd trip to the new eruption site in Meradalir where I met my friend Julius. The way there was easy but on the way back we got into a bad rain storm with wind. Weather deteriorated quickly. Still it was worth it. Some stunning videos coming soon.

Outstanding. Thank you for your beautiful videos.
What a nice video of the the lava field and all the people. Can’t believe all the lava. That is quite a hill to walk up and down. Thanks for sharing.
This eruption started out producing over five times what the eruption was producing a year ago. Last year it ended up producing about 9cubic meters per second. This new one started at 32 m3 per sec. And that looks like it's grown a bit! So lucky to be there! Just amazing!
Lucky? I'm lucky I'm NOT there! 😆
My instincts were correct then. Lots more volume here. Good show the island is putting on!
@@sumiland6445 I couldnt be that lucky. It would be great to see this in person!
@@sumiland6445 Iceland is very similar to Hawaii in that it _CAN_ produce explosive eruptions but rarely does. Usually at the start of an eruption there is a chance of superheated groundwater flashing to steam. (As a side note: Honga Tonga may have put up enough water vapor that it could be partly to blame for the heat waves we are seeing, water vapor is excellent at holding heat in. That eruption sent up ten times what was originally predicted, and way up into the atmosphere, so it will be interesting to see what comes of that). But I digress.
These are probably the safest eruptions to watch. So yeah, I'm jealous.
I wish I could experience this amazing natural phenomenon. Thank you for updating us volcano lovers.
THank you so much for your great videos. I want to go so much, but can't afford it, so your videos assuage my sadness. THey are so good and I feel that Im not missing very much, thanks to you!
Thumbs up guys for the video he works so hard for
This is a great shot of what's happening, the big picture. 🕊️🕊️🌞
Big difference in those two days. Thanks for showing us what it looks like up close. The live cams have been in the smoke or clouds much of the time.
Thank You for sharing. It's mind boggling for someone in Texas to imagine. We get mostly heat here, and occasional tornados. The land doesn't open up and spew lava! Wow 😮
You have a cute & unique name, it caught my eye.
Remember Mt St Helens in the state of Washington erupted in 1981
@@kayte13 Oh Yes, I remember My St Helens well
@@silvatanachian9576 Thank You ☺️ I was trying to come up with something weird that nobody could make anything dirty or suggestive out of. My real name is so oddball, ANYONE could look it up and Bingo... found me 😄
@@eugeneport1748 North Texas does get flooding occasionally. Sometimes it's BECAUSE of a hurricane. Heat though... we've already had weeks of 100 & up temps so far, no end in sight. 🥵 Really messing with my Chemo
I see that the lava is putting on a beautiful show 😊. Keep up the good work with the videos 👍
Thanks! A big change in 2 days -- thanks for the update.
Your camera work has improved much. Thank you for that, and thank you for taking the time and sharing your adventure.
Thanks for this. Really helpful to get a picture of the situation as I plan to hike up there in a few days myself. Can't wait.
Massive difference in 2 days! Thanks Roman and eagerly looking forward to your additional footage on this trip.
Nice to see Mt. Keilir in the background!
Thanks for videoing this event!
THanks for sharing this incredible event with those of that can't be there!
Guy Is about to get a bunch of temp subs again.
This guy takes some amazing trips to ancient cities.
thankyou for video !👌greetings from Australia 👌💖
This is forming very differently than Geldingadalir. Still early yet, but very fascinating...
How amazing is nature
What an incredible scene, Roman! Thank you so much for sharing the beauty with us. Keep happy. Love to Nina. ❤️
Guten abends, danke. Greetings from the BIG SKY.
It amazes me that people go and see this up close especially with the very real possibility of a an unexpected vent opening popping up like it did last year.
Soon you'll need new topical elevation maps❗ So thankful for you Roman.🙏❤👵
Roman, what might be cool is, at some point in the video, mention the gps coordinates and an approximate heading to the major vent -- make it a lot easier when bring up Google Earth to get a real idea of the area. Again, thanks for doing this for everyone, I'm not in position to travel to Iceland anytime soon so having someone like you provide frequent coverage is truly appreciated.
So neat seeing everyone enjoying the event together. Beautiful views, thanks for the video!
Wow its amazing what a difference those 46 hours made. Thanks for sharing. Stay safe!
That is massive!
Thank you for sharing! What an astoudning adventure!
Roman, Just noticed the dark glasses. It looks great on you.Perhaps now I can finally travel to Iceland soon.
Thanks for the video.
That hill is so steep, I'm surprised someone hasn't tripped on the rocks and slid right down to the lava field. Not everyone is as sure-footed as a mountain goat! 🙃 God protect all those people from harm.
A great example of land being created
Beautiful pictures again! Seems not that much warm in Iceland.
It is very rare to see such an eruption twice in a lifetime. Only if you are living in Hawaii…
Bedankt dat ik weer mee mag kijken en genieten groet uit Holland Margot
Thanks
thankyou brilliant update stay safe 🙏
Found you on Mary Greeley comments... Subed
Oh I knew it would come back around there but didn't know when, ha ha! Really great video Roman, thank you! It looks like fissure vents which have erupted in a different place, is this right please?
Thanks for bringing me here !
Thanks for sharing, the live webcams have been fogged in.
Amazing !!

This is like watching people in Kansas watch Tornados and people in Florida watching hurricanes.
@Jason Carmichael
Or people in Oregon watching rain ... Or people in California watching the fires ...
The difference is those are movements of air, this is molten rock pouring out...
46 hours to hike 17km through that lava field rubble to get there too I'd imagine.
I'm Gonna move and buy myself a tour bus!!!
It looks like a lava lamp :)
It's visually deceiving just how big the lava field is and the height of the lava fountains.
New land free of charge!
Thank-you so much for the update and your awesome footage!! I'm looking forward to seeing more!! 👍😸. Also, do know how fast the lava is flowing in the little river in the foreground?!? It seems to be moving fast!!
What is the approximate height of the fountaining lava? It is hard to get any perspective in such a vast space. I love the natural sound it makes... the force and fury can be heard as well as seen.
I am guessing up to 50 ft 15 m for the highest fountains based on eyeballing the people compared to the fountains. This view is hard to see that, but it is more obvious in an earlier video.
Those people so close to the lava and the gas are risking themselves I think. 😳
good views ! Everyone with a coat it is near 100 F here today.
It reminds me off Hawaii Mauna Loa crater
👍👍👍
To be the boring Icelandic guy! There are some big issues regarding poorely dressed tourists visiting the eruption and more importantly Icelanders (that can get litle crazy or more crazy than foreign visitors). Some get too close to the lava flowing and or take a walk in to the valleys near the lavaflow. That is very very dangerous because of posionous gas. Its very exciting and breathtaking to see this happening but you also have to be extremely attentive to the ground you are walking on. The Icelandic and foreign scientists have detceted heat under some of the very ground some people are walking on. A map that shows dangerous ground has been issued. Be careful guys but enjoy nontheless. 😊
I hope the volcano output soon comes to an end. Not sure I'd get as close to the lava as some people are in this video. Still, very nice to witness this.
It looks like a fissure that formed above a lava tube
It's from two things. Iceland sits on a hot spot like Hawaii. Iceland is also a tectonic rift zone that is pulling apart. That combination melts the overlaying rock as it's being pulled apart, creating these long cracks.
Once enough lava builds up we can't see the crack, just a plume of lava. This is what happened last year, and if geologic history is looked at this may be the beginning of a short eruptive cycle lasting a few years or even longer.
I saw someone saying that when it first started but we can see it too. I wonder if the crater is still empty. I hope he can fly too. Its exciting..
Think of the lava like it was hot, liquidy peanut butter, and the ground is a stack of crackers. The crackers are like the Earth's crust, and the space in between are like fault lines. The pressure builds underneath as the space between the crackers grows, until the peanut butter can ooze between a couple crackers.
In a way it's a lava tube, but it's coming more or less straight up from directly below. It's just that the ground has long cracks that ever so, so slowly form as the Earth's plates pull apart. Plus, Iceland is literally heavier than oceanic crust, so it's pushing down on the mantle. This creates pressure that pushes the magma through the cracks. It's a cycle still being teased out. But computers are doing amazing things with seismic tomography data.
Excellent explanation! 👍
I hope cones start forming soon!!🌋🌋
That won't happen for a while yet.
Go down man
@GutnTog Don't forget the food offerings!!!!
The mountains will fall or be leveled with lava? There are volcanos pretty much everywhere on the planet. Where there are hot springs there is lava close. Thankyou. I look foward to watching. Bless you
If I don't quit munching, I'm gonna double in size too! 😂
Fire dream
Is it possible to know if this volcanic eruption will last a long time or is it completely random? Because I have to go there in September. :D and I would love to be able to see it for real !
@gutntog will you be starting your drone flights again, or will you wait until the lava field gets a lot bigger?
I did a flight today. I ll upload soon
Yay!!! More great footage to watch!!! Thank-you so much for your updates!!👍😸
Hello!! Can I ask you what trail did you take to go there and how much time it takes? Thank you in advance!
What are the chances of a giant sudden explosion with this type of eruption? Also, if it did have a sudden explosion then would the shockwave be strong enough to take out all the people dumb enough to go down to the lava edge ;-)
This is not a stratovolcano which can be explosive. This fissure eruption is producing basaltic lava which has a low viscosity relative to that of a stratovolcano. Thus the lava keeps flowing and doesn't clog up the vent. Think Kilauea which also erupts basaltic lava.
the clack lava field on the far right side is the previous eruption from a year ago?
Lavaland
It is so wonderful how once again the Icelandic government is allowing their citizens to witness nature. In the United States they would order everyone within a 20 km radius to leave.
That's because most of Iceland volcanoes produce less amount of toxic gases and minimum Ash.
@@wildlifeisthewealthofnatur5457 This is a mantle-fed eruption almost identical to what we see in Hawaii.
@@josephastier7421 All mantle fed eruptions are not that harmless though. La Palma one was more explosive and released much more toxic gases.
Could you camp overnight there?
I am so happy this volcano has come to life again, hopefully for a long time.
Why would you be, "so happy", about lives being threatened, homes destroyed and air travel shut down?
what does it smell like??
how far is it down from where you film?
@GutnTog That bath tub is already overflowing. Lava has already reached the exit of Meradalir in the East 2? Kms away. Last year it was already near the over flow point between the two eastern ridges. The 'bath tub' cannot overflow to the north for years? The current route is east and then south to the Sea.
This is a very deep basin with high walls in every direction. It will take a pretty long eruption to overflow and potentially threaten major infrastructure. If it would continue long enough it would but it' anyone's guess if that will happen.
@@jima28080 it is already overflowing to the south and then goes east.
@@jima28080 the south coast road to Grindavik looks quite vulnerable by Christmas
Have eruptions world wide been increasing?
One big eruption and these people are toast.
I wonder if the Vikings visited lava flows.
融岩湧赤
See now ,in my mind ,putting distance between me and that would be the thing to do .
It doesn't seem to be producing big cones/Mtns. ??
Not yet. This eruption will probably be like the Geldingadalur eruption last year. The major cone didn't develop for several weeks. However this eruption is producing a great deal more lava so we'll see.

Esos gases no son tóxicos ❓❓❓
Where this
We need to understand that being at the top of the pyramid of creation means that everything we do trickles down the structure, from top to bottom. When it reaches the bottom, the inanimate level of reality, from which everything grows, it changes it. If we ooze ill-will, it creates negative changes throughout the system, which manifest in increasingly extreme climatic and geological events.
In other words, when human relationships go out of balance, everything goes out of balance. When our relations become extreme, everything becomes extreme; when we become violent, everything becomes violent. Each summer, the ramifications of the linkage between our relations and our world become more extreme, until we acknowledge that everything that exists, exists in a connected, hierarchical system and that whoever is at the top determines the state of the rest of the system.
It is not as if previously, we were better people than we are today. It is simply that there were fewer people, and therefore fewer elements that exude ill will.
Also, relationships between people in the past were less toxic than they are today. While there are fewer wars today than ever, the levels of suspicion and alienation between people are skyrocketing, to the point where people can no longer trust their own family members. As a result, wars between countries are rarer than ever, but divorce rates, domestic violence, and violence in the community, are at an all-time high.
Even the internet, which we invented purportedly in order to connect people, is being used to abuse, deceive, and exploit people. The world-wide-web proves that everything we create, we use against others. When there is such a negative element in a system, and that element is at the top of the system, how can the entire system not go awry?
Therefore, if we want the weather to cool, the sea-level to drop, and the storms to subside, we must cool the fire and calm the storms between us. Mutual concern, mutual responsibility, or at least the knowledge that we are dependent on each other, are necessary in order to restore balance in our world at all levels, from the ground we walk on to the hatred in our hearts.
Anyone wanna buy some fresh hot real estate? Get it before it is gone ;)

It’s time of the month for mother earth her hormones is all missed up let her be she’ll calm down in a few days.
If that thing pops open...all the meat's gonna cook. Damn fools.
Blue smoke = sulphur
Look at that massive CO2 and sulfur dioxide goes up in the air!
Volcanoes should also pay a CO2 tax to prevent climatechange!
these videos are all the same
