Volcanic Eruption in Iceland FOR the PEOPLE
Vložit
- čas přidán 9. 04. 2021
- A short human interest film about the most recent volcanic eruption in Iceland by Donal Boyd and Frank Nieuwenhuis.
For the first time ever in the history of our planet, thousands of people have been able to experience such an intense force of nature together.
As most people focused on the eruption itself, this short film turns the camera around on the people and explores what it really means to connect with nature through a collective experience.
Donal Boyd is a wildlife conservationist and fine art portrait photographer and filmmaker with the mission to promote "Conservation of Nature Through Visual Advocacy”.
Frank Nieuwenhuis is a director and filmmaker based in Iceland with the mission to capture and depict the essence of his subjects and their personal stories through cinematic and highly aesthetic visuals.
Location: Reykjanes Peninsula, Iceland. Geldingadalur/Fagradalsfjall

DISCLAIMERS: (1) A volcanic eruption is quite obviously an unpredictable and immensely dangerous force of nature. In general viewing, such a spectacle is prohibited by poisonous gas, risk of exposure to scorching hot lava, and other various hazards. The production of this film involved careful assessment of all such various conditions that would minimize the risks involved. This included, but is not limited to, following official updates and advice from the Icelandic Meteorological Office, Icelandic Search and Rescue Team, and advisors on the ground at the eruption site. Utilization of technical equipment, including gas masks, and gas detectors to monitor poisonous gases. And direct contact with volcanologists for up-to-date predictions on volcanic activity and risks. Inherently, there is always a certain degree of uncertainty when visiting an active volcano, but because of the nature of this particular eruption, the risks were minimal. Seeing as the primary caldera was situated in a depression, surrounded by mountains, which made viewing safe. This allowed literally thousands of people to visit the volcano early on. (2) As conditions at the eruption site have changed, this might prohibit the ease of viewing. If you do decide to visit the eruption site in the future yourself, we advise you to follow updates and advice on how to prepare yourself published through ruv.is and vedur.is.

THANKS SO MUCH FOR WATCHING! - Jak na to + styl
That woman's expression behind the gentleman speaking says it all. What an amazing experience. Thanks for sharing all this with those of us that can't go to see it!
What a genuine reaction indeed!
Not quite like this but as a kid living in Sicily, Mount Etna erupted pretty good and my parents drove us up the mountain close enough to check out the lava flowing. That was amazing.
I love when massive forces of nature can be observed safely and with respect. The footage i have been seeing is both liberating and humbling.
Beautiful country and experience. Thank you for sharing this video.
Connect with the humanity.. yes thats what we need to do now.. And this vulcano are helping us to do that. Beautiful video 😊
!!! Incredidible!!! Wow, awesome...!!!...awe inspiring!!! Lovely
At first I saw references to Mordor and hell. Once safe paths were established, mums and dads came with their kids, even infants. Gotta love this new generation❣
When the sun goes down, one can see a line of lights when people come and go. Their willingness to be watching the glowing lava after the sunset warms my heart.
It expresses something that is deep within our being, a primal sense that is both fear and awe and belonging. In ages long past it was the tribe, it was the communal sharing of the experience of living one with another. For this brief moment it is happening again in the wilds of Iceland.
Exactly, we were a tribe again it felt around this most grand of fires.
This was beautiful. I'd watch an hours long documentary of it, the power of mother earth on display and people telling their stories.
Mother Earth is indeed powerful! Thanks for your kind words !!
@@DonalBoyd1 So true, but this eruption is like Mother Earth decided that she would give a nice little demo that can studied up close without all the terror that follow a large scale eruption like the one Hawaii had in 2018.
It is a true privilege to be able to watch this evolve, I have been there 3 times and every visit is anew unique experience!
Same here, everytime it's equally impressive and unreal.
...man, so awesome. Glad ya go to experience it, brother.
That would be a highlight for me to see in person. Thanks for sharing and your name is awesome! Took me a moment to sound it out but I got it!
Donal's work is always exceptional 😃
No, this is an event to be viewed with others. I so envy you all, being able to watch this in reality rather than on a screen. I would so love to be there. I've wanted to go to Iceland all my life, and now even more so. I would have been on the next available flight if it hadnt been for the travel ban. Thankyou for making this lovely video, it's very much appreciated. With much love, from a broken heart, in Ireland. 💕
Watching 👀 and volcano 🌋 together brings back the humanity within us.
It’s just the most laid back, chill volcano ever
Incredible video, thank you for sharing.
Volcanoes can be such an amazing show in their beauty but also in their awfulness...When people here are enjoying the spectacle, the people of St Vincent in the Caribbean, where the volcano "La Soufriere' has exploded, are hoping to save their lives. The contrast is total. A thought for them.
Stay safe.
and think of the thousands of people across the planet sharing this with you who are lucky enough to be there; many of us totally hooked on watching it all unfold; quite an experience even remotely; thank you for letting us see it too with all your videos i
I love this. It beautifully captures one of the most amazing aspects of this volcano--the human response.
We were there August 7th '21, but haven't been lucky enough to see the eruption, the vulcano was sleeping that day and restarted to work during the night. That's why your video is even more precious for us. Beautiful footage, great human experience. Touching.
Was in Iceland for 4days Xmas 2020 what a wonderful place..!!! Didn't get to see this Spectacular eruption but this country is breathtaking!!!!Love from Ireland...!!!
This volcano didn’t begin erupting until mid-March. It was a calm valley then.
Wait.// Our quarantine is 5 days between tests. You said you were here for 4 days. O_o
Lucky :( I’m USA and I had a school trip opportunity to go :( but I went into home schooling and I never got to go, but one day I wanna see this country, it’s so gorgeous
best volcano video... it's not about the volcano. It's about the people loving to co-exist with the volcano.
Donal, Frank... Magic!! A different view as always. Sucking the world in and sharing it with us!! Thank you!
This isn’t the first time Icelanders haven’t been afraid of eruption they have healthy respect for it and also they aren’t trying to make sense of it they are delighting in it
Oh how American you are 😆 you are projecting your own culture onto Iceland 😁 but I’m glad you learn new way of love
I really liked this video and wouldn't mind to watch more content of this quality. So well told and shot.
So beautiful! I would love to visit there! ❤
Amazing moment in history! Well done!
I truly hope this event brings people together, in a new way. We as humans, have been drifting away from one another. Enjoying a moment in our Earth's magical history.
Iceland is a very small population. We tend to come together here for big events. This is a biggie!
Nice video, as an Icelander it is something to see the difference of people coming to witness the power of nature and be in awe together. As a photographer also to capture the variety of faces seen at this remote sight in the middle of the Atlantic young, old, people of all colors is a unique and enlightening moment.
Thank you so much for the positive vibes! Such an amazing rock we live on hey?
You caught the spirit of it. Great job.
Very nicely done! I appreciated your point of view - the human side of this amazing event.
This was breathtaking man I truly enjoyed this, I can only imagine how great it was in person!
The Best IceVolc video I have seen so far
This is beautiful. The only thing I don’t like about this video is that it’s too short. I want to see more of it!
It s a wonderful experience to watch nature’s fascinating sites.
This is so precious for all of us around the world who could not come to Iceland to see the eruptions ourselves. We were connected by videos and 24/7 webcams and live chats with the volcano and the people there. It was an awesome summer as long as it lasted. Every night watching the ever changing volcano, lava geysirs, golden fire streams, the fiery power of a living planet, of landscape-creating nature... fueling up my own energy and creativity to live on till he went dormant September 18th.
I miss the volcano so much and I am not alone with this feeling.
That woman's reaction at 3:00 was everything!
I love her reaction too. She’s in total awe
I have spent the night there with one other person and it does not give you much more than being there with everybody. This thing is so grand that we are like dust compared to it and all the people around you are is as much awe as you are. So the feeling of the group is like being on a big concert, the joy and awe is contagious everybody is really happy and so happy the you get to experience this as well. Gone 6 times to it so far and every time you catch a glimpse of it the wonder starts and it just does not let you down. Thanks for the great video and insight.
Very emotional! Thank you!
Thank you for showing the greater Connection.
May we All realize that
the fire we're looking at is the Fire in Our Self.
May we All realize that
We are Not Alone.
We are ----- Al-One.
Go Forth and spread your Light.💗
In a word... Fabulous.
It's one of those, " you had to be there " moments... Keep the videos coming.
Totally and completely awesome!!
You did a fabulous job on this video. Enjoying all the volcano footage from the US
Thank you. This is what I wanted to see. More than just my fascination with the volcanic event, the shared human experience of the people who have the great fortune to BE there. It must be such a moving experience. This film certainly was for me. Thank you so much. (and please produce more!)
Thank you so much for the kind words and thoughts! It was and is a moving experience every visit... and to see it develop and change.
Yes, Thank you, I second this sentiment. I greatly appreciate that you created this video. This is the only video I've seen which shares that side of things (the shared human experience of those lucky enough to see it in person) with those of us following from home.
What a beautifully shot and narrated film! Love the faces you have captured and the interviews. It is an event that needs an audience. Deserves so many more views and likes. When watching the live stream of the eruption and the time lapse, I enjoy just as much seeing the people gathered around the lava and watching their head lamps at night moving along the paths. I so want to visit Iceland to see this.
Interesting perspective. I've been trying to figure out why I am so obsessed with this volcano -- I have never been so interested in this stuff before. And there are so many people "following" it on CZcams it is definitely a collective experience, however 'remotely'. For me, it feels like a release - geologically of course but also with the people. We are all connected, and we are all connected with the Earth. It's a collective geo-political catharsis ! I hope it is a healing. And the fact that it is happening in an area where no one can get hurt is very special. A safe space where Earth can release her tensions, and the people can participate in helping her simply by watching.
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts! It’s such a powerful event indeed. I love your idea about a global release - a global catharsis. We really needed it here and in a way it’s like a shift in the earth and in our minds for sure.
I guess its just what people want and need to see, how people can still unite and be human in a world that is kept hostage by a virus. Look at all those people happy, free and unmasked enjoying our true purpose to be connected. If they followed the rules, it wasnt allowed to be here with so many people at same time, but they didnt because they couldnt sell it anyway to restrict the amount of people going here in the first place. And guess what? Nothing bad came from it, just happy faces. I cant help but just to see it that way. If this was in US or elsewhere in Europe, this wouldnt have happened. This is Iceland and we got a message. Celebrate life and respect mother Earth. :)
This was so beautifully expressed...Thank You🙏
What an awesome story! Thank you.
2:37 I've never known anyone who lived in any sort of fear of an eruption.
Usually when we hear there is one imminent.. we get excited. and then get disappointed when they would say eruption will not happen.
....basically this whole line he says there is not true for Icelanders. This force of nature is a pert of our identity as a nation, and the fact we've embraced it over the years is something that makes us proud to be Icelandic.
You should have been at Mt.St.Helens.Be safe.
Amazing! I am here in Iceland and I hope to see
It!!!
Really Beautiful , it's nice to see the Love out there !
The 🌋🌎NATURE🌏🌋 is surprising and wonderful, greetings from Bolivia.
Beautifully done! Wow 😎
Absolutely beautiful. Thank you for sharing . Aloha from Hawaii.
The way it has been documented is so enriching and let's you connect with instantly, as if you are there with one of them and experiencing a once in life time moment. A moment where you see earth grow. And most importantly, how people have expressed their experience and connection with this Volcano is something to remember forever. ❤️
Thank you so much for the kind words ❤️🌋
Don't forget about us, watching from far afar but still being a part of this moment somehow.
Oneness in wonder.
We really aren't- we are tucked away from life looking at a screen, its so fun👎
The only way to watch in my opinion.
Thank you. Beautiful people good comments. We’re the human race. We should share our sorrows and our joys together as one people inhabiting earth. It’s a unique experience that throws us back in time to the birth of our universe. Hail to our Creator and God’s blessings on everyone!
Beautiful video. Thank you.
Tus comentarios y la perspectiva como miran este evento de la naturaleza es muy cierta, conectarnos sin miedo y admirar como es que nuestros continentes se hicieron, muy hermoso, interesante y maravilloso!!!
Excellent short! Truly loved your narrative about connecting in a primal way. I thought the same at the beginning of the film. I lived in Oregon when Mt St. Helens erupted, but as a pyroclastic flow that decimated land, trees, bridges and took lives for miles sadly. Yet, there was a great reminder of how nature is in control. Then, there was also the experience of seeing Crater Lake and the lava fields there...spectacular country.
Thank you for so kindly sharing this. I'll be investigating more of your films, you've got the perfect mix of photography and narrative.
Hi Emily, thanks so much for your comment and thoughts. It's really humbling being witness to nature like this, especially knowing how destructive it can be. At the same time we have the opportunity to view it in the way we did, we must also respect its immense and uncontrollable power.
This was a great video man. Well done sir.
Thank you
Thank you for sharing this video
what a beauty!!! Great video!!!!
Iceland is lucky Dice, where ever you end up there is a good view
Well done! Congratz on this amazing video.
Brilliant work! I relish the moving sentiments at t he end!
We absolutely lava this volcano posting!
Came from Instagram, I loved the video so much!
Beautiful, Just wish I could fly in to see it.
Thanks for sharing it! This it truly magnificent
volcano. Beutiful! Thankyou so much for sharing!❤
Thank you. So heartening ~ humans, being, with nature. ❤️🔥🧡🔥💛
My uncle and aunt were there when it happened, and filmed the eruption from about 300-500m away on phone
Truly amazing scenery, and well made short film.
Also there are hundreds of people from distant shores watching the live screens every day.
Excellent video! Well done! Thank you for sharing. (DCH, Oklahoma City, 4.11.21)
Your Imaging and Story telling way sparked some unexpected emotion ... So I can only say; In Image and Story by far the best I've seen of this (Icelandic) earthly show 🥇 🏆
A phenomenon, geological and sociological.
Thank you for sharing. Please stay safe.
Well done Dr Boyd and Franky. Well done 💗💗💗
Thank you so much, Sorelle!!!
EXCELLENT Video!
and the rest of us get to enjoy watching this by youtube :)
Amazing job! Makes me want to go there tomorrow.
Thank you for sharing this beautiful, awe inspiring experience. J
How beautiful ❤️ A lovely way to honor nature.
Wow that's beautiful ❤
this is excellent, the footage is amazing and the people aspect of it raises it to a whole new level
Well done! Love this!
Very interesting perspective, and I'm getting some sort of culture vibe from this.
It makes you feel hopeful!
Awesome video, Thank you!
Beautiful at this way, not like las palmas or my country ,so much life around, so much life’s to lose
Bravoooo🤝🔥🔥🔥
Hermoso lugar its just beautiful😊
This is awesome.
Wow!!!! Incredible!!!! Love to go sometime.
Beautiful as it is; dangerous change is coming
I'm always amazed at how many European, Scandinavian, and Nordic people speak English.
I mean it's kinda necassary for higher education and buisness/communication. We're taught english from 1st grade (6 year olds) to final year in highschool (19)
Agree. Not only speak English, but it's perfect English at a high level. This must help when going to study (eg university) or for online working, or for jobs - such as pilot.
A lovely video for many to enjoy.
Thank you Dr. BOYD. I met your mother and father on the flight from Boston on Thursday night! Your mother shared this CZcams video! Yahoo
Thank you so much! I showed them your comment and they were super happy you watched the film also!
Wow amazing thank you for sharing ❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹
Beautiful message, beautiful video. Truly #Inittogether :)
The way the lady in the green sweater looks at the dude she is with being interviewed, is the way I hope my future wife looks at me one day.
Such a wholesome moment!
