- The volcano in Fagradalsfjall’s volcanic system is always changing. Now the lava fountain is different, and it’s pushing out a huge lava waterfall. The lava field gets bigger everyday and it’s just a matter of time until it flows over the hiking path. It has been confirmed that the volcano’s volume of lava is now twice the size than when it started.

Someone give Art an award! Excellent photography!
Thank you for these wonderful videos. Who would have thought that we could sit in our living rooms, thousands of miles away, and watch a Shield volcano being born. So thank you again.
Having watched your videos for the last 2 months I have finally made it over from the UK. Your videos are great but nothing beats actually seeing it. The heat, the noise, the sense of awe, truly amazing. I'll keep watching when I return to the UK. Thank you for inspiring videos, keep it up 👍👍
That's wonderful to hear. It's always incredible to visit the volcano.
Imo best volcano newscast ever! 👍 thank you so much. Rvk grapevine hip hip hurray 🌋
We need to get some SAM's to Valur for the helicopters. :-) But seriously, Valur needs to be nominated for some journalism awards for his terrific reporting, film footage and his wonderful wit. Always makes me smile!
I really enjoy your site
I love the Art-Work!
Thank you as always Valur.
Love the way you present the 🌋 info.
Stay safe.
Nice haircut, Valur! Just the perfect style on top to dramatize the windiness and the wild nature of Iceland. Another amazing, and highly anticipated new video with brilliant photography for all of us to see!! Takk Valur!! Takk Art!!
The drone footage was GREAT! I liked being able to see how the lava field had grown and the height of the original cones to this one. Keep up the great work. Thank you for bringing this to life for those of us who can't travel to Iceland.
Thank you for explaining the volcano I sincerely appreciate the detailed explanations. Excellent program & videos.
Best cameraman covering the volcanoe, hands down. Love the pan shots.
This is some of the best footage of the volcanoes lava lake building up inside the volcano that I have watched & I watch everything about this volcano. Awesome commentary from Valur as usual & great aerial footage from Art as usual. I love watching all of Valur’s videos. Awesome job guys.
I wholeheartedly agree Heather.......fantastic commentary and visual drone footage! Nothing short of spectacular! Thanks to everyone involved so that I can enjoy (in English) from far away Australia.
Nice to see a video from here, from a camera in the hands of a professional, instead of so much very amateurish smart phone footage. Looking forward to your next trip.
Brilliant filming and explanation - thanks Valur and Art
The first few shots of the valley really shows the scale of the steepness and length of the valley . Very nice thank you.
From a fan in America, Texas to be exact, I want to thank you for reporting on the volcano. I know I'll never have a chance to see one like Geldingaladur, so what you report, what you learn from the experts there in place around the volcano, what you show us, you are our eyes and ears. I don't know what else to say except Thank you, again. Keep up the good work.
Love the camera work here. Its further back giving more sense of scale of how large the valley and how wide the lava field is.
No music in between the commentary. Just mother nature and the wind. Keep it up!👍🏻☮️
What an amazing change in the cone of the volcano!
In addition to the details you provide concerning the volcano the aerial shots are SPECTACULAR! Thank you! 😀
Loving the Icelandic People & Fascinating Country!🇺🇸
Thank You! You're weekly updates are the best. Better hope that Hollywood doesn't take your drone photographer.
I hope so too.
Oh I dunno...here in New Zealand, Peter Jackson might be keen to use him for a Journey to the Centre of the Earth remake? 😜
Thank-you for these drone shots, Art.
The dramatic natural changes in such a short amount of time is incredible to witness. I’m quite thankful for your great reporting! Takk! Where I live in SW Washington USA, I’m surrounded by long- dormant shield volcanos. It’s awesome to see the birth of one. I hope to visit Iceland again soon to see for myself.
Don’t you mean stratovolcanoes? Mount St Helens is a stratovolcano like all the Cascade volcanoes.
Don’t you mean stratovolcanoes? Mount St Helens is a stratovolcano like all the Cascade volcanoes.
@@eastwind6820 there are shield volcanoes in SW Washington State east of the Cascades. They belong to the Hotspot that is currently under Yellowstone. They were created as the North American plate slid over the Hotspot. There are shield volcanoes trailing into southern Idaho all the way into northwestern Wyoming to Yellowstone.
@@eastwind6820 yes those are stratovolcanos, but I’m speaking about those in the Boring Volcanic Field, Indian Heaven Volcanic field, and the Marble Mountain-Trout Creek Hill volcanic field. Big Lava Bed in the Gifford Pinchot national forest is the most recent cinder cove that was active ~8000 years ago. Trees still barely grow there. I spend a lot of time up in those woods. Countless lava tubes as well... I actually climbed st Helens a few weeks ago; the view of the crater is profound.
@@loganforgey4281 Oh, the Boring Volcanic Field! I forgot about that one.
Ok for Americans the volcano is 652 feet above ground tall and 56 feet deep under the lava. That's just ... wow. I can't believe it's already taller than the hill that got blocked off. I wonder how much taller it's going to get and if it even can cover the hills around it only because it's flowing downhill. Will be fascinating to watch it happen though.
As usual, thank you for the spectacular footage and informed comments! I especially appreciate the last part showing the helicopter on the nearby mountain because the comparison of sizes shows how gigantic the volcano has become!
no thumbs down. it's beautiful. no one is immune from this wonder of nature ... thank you Mother Earth
Yeah, I wonder how many thousand planes and millions of cars and thousands of cargo ships of pollution it shoved out
Fabulous camera work on the drone footage and the ground level panoramas. Thanks!
The first 4 minutes of this video, I was just about experiencing vertigo. That was an amazing view of the valley.
The amount of lava that has flowed over the saddle point is incredible. I haven’t seen the view from your perspective since it ran over and the level in Geldingadalur has raised about 10 metres….crazy! Thank you so much for your report. Great job both of you
Imagine the tunnels left when the volcano eventually goes to sleep, how amazing is our planet. Thankyou Valur and Art, love from Bunbury, West Australia ) x
The first scenes at Natthagi looks really, really well-shot. Feels like a movie.
Great video thanks so much for the updates😁Marion Cape Town x
the staring hill is the absolute perfect name and I love it
Valur I am getting vertigo just watching you up there. This hill is very steep.🔥🌋
Just a trick of perspective
Brilliant video. I especially loved the drone footage of the crater boiling over! Thank you.
I too was in total awe of that footage, especially the close ups.
You guys are the best!
Amasing shots. And info. Been following you for weeks now. In the World as it is today, this is the only thing that makes sense. A true thing. Thanks.
Thanks for your excellent report, Valur. Superb camera and drone, Art.
Thank you for all your great coverage on the volcano. I really appreciate this.
Id like to thank Art for his talent with a camera, such a professional. Thanks Art, from your fan in Norman Oklahoma USA.
I'm not sure that's his name 😊💜
Drones are awesome
@@honorsilverthorne7227 That is what Valur calls him :)
@@quietone748 Oh. Okay!! 😁💞
@@honorsilverthorne7227 His name is Arthur, Valur has mentioned him many times.
13:10 Bob is still visible at bottom left!
That's right, you can see the top.
Dear Bob...how amazed we were by him! but he’s had no attention lately since the Big Guy started belching lava.
Wow! I've been following this for quite some time and it's amazing how much land the lava has consumed, transforming the landscape. Thank you for your excellent coverage Valur, you make it all the more interesting with your Icelandic descriptions and definitions. How long this will go on is anybody's guess, but I'm in it for the long haul -- if I live that long, that is. LOL . . . Take care and stay safe!
Really glad you enjoy it.
Great drone footage! along with the normal marvelous coverage by Valur and Art.
Thank you Valur, great as ever!
Superb coverage yet again, thank you Valur, and your wonderful camera man Art. You are both very much appreciated.
At some point when you guys are back at the volcano, could you point out where the very first appearance of Bob was and where the subsequent others were? I guess all are now under the lava sheet, but where?
I appreciate the documentation of the progress of this natural event and your showing previous views of the valley. How about putting together a video in timelapse style showing the changes from the beginning? I'm sure that would be appreciated and a big hit.
Also, side by side pics of "Bob" from somewhere around the first week of the eruption and a shot of the active cone from now.
Thank you to you and your camera person for giving us such great, informative content.
The drone shots above the volcano really helps you understand how enormous the volcano lake of lava is. It's like a small ocean in there.
As usual, Valur, you and Art have scored another excellent report. Does Art have eyes in his feet? He never seems to stumble. The haircut and shaving makes you look so much younger. Have you lost weight? Whatever, you look great. Virtual hugs from the old lady from Carson City, Nevada.
I agree; now that we can see his face, Valur is a quite handsome man.
Definitely looking fitter, and much sexier with the haircut and his growing confidence in reporting in English. It’s perfect, and I could listen to him talking all day. 🏳️🌈👍🏻🇮🇸
As usual in all RVK docs, wonderful images and a great report.
As a child living in Iceland in the 60's we used to climb a mountain about three miles from there (it's across the road from the Blue Lagoon). It had a classic cone shape, with a ridge coming out from one side. I had always wondered how it had formed, and now I see the same process playing out here.
Marvelous views and information. Thank you from around the world!
Impressive footage! Boy, what a monster!
Nevermind Volcanologists, youve turned me into a Volcanoholic. Keep feeding my habit.
“Volcaholic” has a better ring to it 😋
Seek a support group, as it's far better to watch people plant trees or on rewilding, cuz that's what's needed to avert the now faster approaching climate chaos. All this natural greenhouse gases atop of our unnatural petrol spewing means we all gotta band together & try to forge a future for posterity. BTW, forests stabilize climate.
@@reforest4fertility nss
@@garmit61 Whatever nns means, prolly som'n that negates my reply to you? I do kinda agree, cuz my partner and i watch Iceland's volcano often. We just the other day realized it's better to watch something that doesn't feed energy to the volcano spewing. That's all.
@@reforest4fertility It's not like the vulcanos are just gonna stay shut when they're not watched. They do their thing no matter our climate situation, so we might as well enjoy the show they put up, thankfully doesn't happen all too often.
Amazing to see how the Lava disappears almost immediately into the tunnels.
Technically they're called lava tubes.
Thanks for the nice shots again!
I would love to learn icelandic. And don't always say it sounds strange or harsh. I really like the sound of this language!
Time to build a new road. Thanks for the video.
I suggested more than a month ago to start a new ‘circle road’ section of the ring road 🤪🥴✌🏽
An awesome perspective - looks so huge in this podcast. Thank you.
You’ve had a lovely haircut which sets off the surrounding landscape wonderfully - everything seems rejuvenated and even more stylish - which I had not even imagined possible! 😍
Brilliant. Touches of lava colours in Valur's hair too.
Agreed! Perfect haircut, so much so I just showed it to the stylist and pleaded 'Please, cut mine like this,' and now I sport Valur Hair.
@@Vovvilina Let's start a new hair trend, called 'the Valur volcano' style. ;p
Interesting how the volcanoes opening is narrowing. Always thought that the area that allows the magma to escape to the side will be blocked off making it more like the traditional looking stratovolcano. Find it hard to see the crater becoming completely blocked as the magma needs somewhere to escape. Just fascinating to view all this. Many thanks to our intrepid reporter Valur, from Kris.🇦🇺
It's all about pressure. The fact the magma has to rise higher to the lip means more pressure is needed (and given), which is about 4 bars per 10 meters given the density of the lava. This could also open up old vents and/or completely new ones.
the entire Peninsula has a Shield volcano structure
@@lectrikdog Correct, because lava has flowed there in ancient history, multiple times. Last time was about 700 years ago. This eruption is a calm one compared to historic eruptions.
@@paulmichaelfreedman8334 So, when there isn't enough gaseous explosions occurring underneath the volcano to clear all the magma, it can possibly stop erupting and release through other vents? To be honest, this is the first eruption that I've followed from its very inception and find it quite interesting the many twists and turns it takes us on. It has been a wonderful journey. Thank you for responding.
@@lectrikdog Yes and I wonder how old this peninsula is in regards to the rest of Iceland? I should think it would be a fairly 'new' addition to the Country with the many eruptions that have occurred there in recent times. Looks like I'll be doing a little research!
Iceland has a special word for being cut of by lava from all sides.
me: not surprised at all
Óbrennishólmi, unburnt islet.
We r sad people living on volcano nothing else to do
Yes! This tickled me pink.
Óbrynnishólmi.
@@berserkurinn not English
I'm addicted to this videos 😍
The wild thing is that they're very sedate videos it's not like so many of the other videos that you see and it's it's kind of like a ongoing story and the protagonist is the volcano
Blimp
Great stuff Valur.
Nice new haircut (allthough I liked the "old" one also) - still enough hair to play with ;-)
But serious - best coverage of the volcanic events I have seen so far!
Edit - and absolutely stunning drone footage!!
Thank you !👍
Incredible volcano shots. Other worldly
The very best 20 minutes I’ve spent online today! Excellent reporting/videoing!!! I can’t help but make comparisons between Iceland & Hawaii. Remarkable scenes, sites: cascading lava flows, lava tubes, the rumbling and crackling sounds, & Pele’s hair (volcanic glass-Iceland may have its own name for this?). Kilauea & Mauna Loa are both good examples of shield volcanoes. Just sharing.🌋❣️🇮🇸
The volcano is absolutely just amazing to watch, i never get tired of watching it. plus its amazing at how much the volcano has changed the surrounding terrain in such a short time, it really is like being on an alien planet. Everyone there in Iceland stay safe!
Imagine being on the crusty black with the hot molten rock underneath... thats what our crust is ontop of the magma... we float on hot red molten rock, drifting slowly as our rock icebergs collide and submerge...
The English words for a barrier that is used to stop a river from flooding are "levee" or "dike."
Barrier, of course! Thanks for that Chris.
Not only are you very professional and showing one of the most interesting things going on on the planet right now in my opinion you give All Icelandic men a very good name you are a representative for your country and a very good one... I appreciate what you do and you do it very well if you are ever in Reno Nevada USA you can kick it with me maybe we'll go to a punk rock show or something 🖤🙏🤘🕉️🧠
💗
Only if I'm invited to go along!
When that unexpected last eruption occurred, I had lost track of the volcano. So I was surprised when that mountain over your shoulder was actually the volcano! It's huge.
There's so much lava coming out of the volcane and it's still increasing. It's amazing to see the structers that the lava makes and the speed it flows.
What a scene looking down on you while panning the view behind. Sweetest eye candy🍬 Bless you, Viking
Completely stunning. Thank you so much again. There are no words to encompass the work and results of the work you show us.
Great coverage Guys.
Brilliant as usual, great vlog, thank you 👏👏👏👏
Thank you for the news concerning the volcano. Also thanks to Art for the great drone shots! Look forward to each broadcast. Best of health to you both💕🌋
Great coverage...Look after yourself...Best Wishes from Melbourne Australia.
Thanks again for sharing every informative. I 😁
Beautiful!
Isn't it though. I don't see it as dangerous or terrifying but a most stunning and beautiful event.
What blows my mind is seeing the lava going into a lava tube right at the volcano.
Incredible! I wish I was there to see it for myself!
Another stunning video of the lava flow and surrounding areas.
Your knowledge is fascinating and interesting Valur.
Fabulous newscast defiantly on my bucket list for a visit. Dublin Ireland
Fantastic footage! Probably the best land-based footage that shows the scale of lava flows.
We literally just stopped our crying five year old (lego dispute with older sister) by saying, "Do you want to come see Valur? He has a new haircut..." :-)
How far is the vvolcano from where people are staying?
@@6nferno - I was astonished at how close these people were observing!!! I did not think that one can in any way predict what might happen at any given time! How could they not know that the wall might not fail right in front of them???
Many congratulations, Valiur, your brilliant images (ideally framed; very smart and smooth moves by the cameraman) and also your excellent comments make your regular monitoring of Geldingadalir by far the most interesting one to follow.
The age of the lava coming out now, is from a much deeper source from the subduction zone deep down. The calcium rich lava, shown in white/gray I'm told is from millions-year old sea bed rich in crustaceans.
I've read this too: that the crust of the "Iapetus Ocean" was subducted under landmasses that would join up as "Euramerica", which was then separated by the Atlantic Ocean. It's between 600Million and 400Million years old and is mixed up with mantle plume driving this issue.
@@nodisalsi thank you very much for elaborating.
@@nodisalsi do you have a source on where you read this? Would love to read more.
@@RoxnDox I think it was: "Hutton's Arse" by M. H. Rider - I borrowed this and read one chapter - I suspect it was titled "Volcano" - don't have access to this book anymore. :(
Just watching from 10 -11:15 PM from Lynden WA. USA..... constant lava flowing over the rim and into the lava tubes!!
Mesmerizing! I have my volcano in my back yard, the glacier and snow covered Mt. Baker, north of Mt Rainier in the Cascade Mountain Chain. I love my mountain!
Stay safe and Peace to Iceland!
Cheers!!
Volcano fills valley, impressive, but think for a moment about the Glacier that formed that gigantic valley.
Multiple massive natural powers at work there yeah.
It'd be neat if somebody brought cameras that showed the thermal views as well as the regular video.
Might even be able to see where the lava tunnels are!
Some other channels show night time views and all that black sheet we see in daylight is glowing red
Stunning footage!! Thanks a lot from Germany!
Thank you Valur for your wonderful news stories, not just of the volcano, but on other Icelandic news. We LOVE Art's videography. We thoroughly enjoy your walks with Polly on the streets of Reykjavik while updating us on the latest news. We have been watching you since this new volcano area started earlier this year. We are thrilled that we got to come to Iceland May 28-June 9 (our 4th time!), not only to see the volcano but to visit and travel with our Icelandic friends to the Westfjords, one of our favorite places in Iceland. It was amazing to see the difference in the volcano area between visit #1 on May 28 and visit #2 on June 7. And now we are seeing even more stunning changes in less than a week after our return! Happily, since I subscribe to your online newsletter, my husband and I were able to order our Fire Geysir Bomber Jackets - on May 28, our first day in Iceland, while doing our mini-quarantine in our Reykjavik hotel while awaiting our Covid test results (which we got 6 hours after the tests at Keflavik Airport)!!! They arrived at our house the day after we got home - not only perfect timing, but they fit us perfectly. We continue to watch all of your reports -- keep them coming!
“Quick, Frodo, throw in the Ring of Power!”
Best news crew on the internet right now. Thanks Valur and crew!
Awesome as always. This guy is great. We always look forward to him and the volcano 😎👍💪
The amount flowing out of there not long before it reaches the sea!
Incredible 🙏😎
Nature is awesome along with being beautiful, thanks for sharing. Greetings from Cape Town.
We always wait for your new volcanoes videos! They are so informative and professionally done! Congratulations!!
I'm so amazed as to just how fluid the lava is. It's truly magnificent! Thanks for another in a series of great reports.
A couple of weeks ago I asked Dr Fox 2000 if the volcano would build a wall around itself and block the view of the fountaining. He said no because there were several openings that the lava was flowing through and that the walls were thin and would keep breaking out new openings. Oh well. That surely was wrong.
So glad to have a drone view of the inside because it's been intriguing seeing the lavafall overspill one side with some fountaining on the other side. I've been very curious to see what that surface looks like
