- Valur Grettisson, the editor-in-chief of the Reykjavík Grapevine, and his trusty cameraman, Art Bicnick, visited the volcano yesterday to check out the new wall that engineers hope will slow down the lava stream, which will soon flow over the main road just a few kilometres to the south of the eruption. They also discovered that the path to the volcano is now much better-a game-changer for visitors! This and more in today’s Reykjavík Newscast.

Shout out to Art for his work and his excellent, smooth and beautiful camera work.
@@pokerjon7967 Nice one.
I didn'tt know the cameraman's name. Thanks. He is amazing.
He deserves an award for his work throughout this whole thing. His filming is by far the best
Ye, first class video captures and editing🥇
I agree this is excellent and outstanding journalism. And I really appreciate every second of it!
This is the very best coverage on this volcano, especially if you can not go there in person. Thank you, Art.
You are very welcome, Linda. It's a pleasure to do something for you :)
I know many people have said this before on this and other channels, there is no way the UK government would let us anywhere near an eruption, if one were to occur. All credit to the good sense of the Icelandic people. Thanks for the great coverage and commentary.
I dunno.....if it was a regular enough thing the 'concern for public safety' (and the money) would soon dry up.
I was thinking how in the US we would be kept 2 miles away at a minimum.
Then there’s here in the US where they have to tell us not to take medications we’re allergic to, and warn us that hot coffee is, well, HOT!
@@dianeroberts3161 And that packets of nuts 'may contain nuts'
And petrol (gas) doesn't belong in plastic bags....
You are an awesome reporter.Hello from Rome, Georgia
Art is what makes these videos stay interesting. The constant camera vantage of scenery is appreciated by us with short attention spans
I think they make a great team
The sound coming from the volcano was awesome. Thank you Valur for risking your life to bring us the news. You do an awesome job. Hello from Queensland Australia 💖
Risking his life? C'mon, he's a half-baked journalist stammering out a report. Don't make it sound like the guy s are supermen. You must be a Liberal.
He is fortunately not risking his life. When the gas goes somewhat high the site is closed. But greetings to Queensland :)
Thanks to Art for capturing another lava tornado! The opening and closing shots are fabulous!
did you mean this czcams.com/video/jCaXTibBMOQ/video.html
Valur and Art, the 'Valourous/Dauntless Duo'! The news team we all need around the world.
And every office needs a Polly!!
Best volcano viewing ever thanku
I have to thank you, Valur, for your long walks to get this footage so often!! Thanks to you and your camera team as we appreciate the informative updates. You guys are epic...and probably much trimmer and fitter!!
I discovered this on YT very early on and many times thought, “Well, that’s about it. Near the end.”
And now, here we are 2 months later. Very amazing to look at the output still coming. Thank you Iceland - the gift that keeps giving!
If this really is a shield volcano eruption it might be with us for years.
I have been completely addicted to watching this since it started too. Mother Earth, simply amazing. Yes, thank you Iceland and the lovely people at the Grapevine too for the wonderful newscasts!
This still by far the best chanel big thanks from uk 🇬🇧
Aloha from Hawaii. You asked about walls to deflect the lava here in Hawaii. For the most part they are unable to stop a vigorous flow. Several years ago an individual built a wall with a bulldozer in his back garden to save his house in Pahoa. The flow came right up to the wall a but then the eruption stopped and so did the flow. A couple of years later we had that massive event that destroyed hundreds of homes, nothing could stop that. Thanks for the footage, spectacular!
You are correct. I live in Hawaii as well. Iceland successfully diverted a lava flow using a lot of sea water back in the 70's I think. That was an amazing feat.
@@cb2000a yes and saved the port of the island vestmannaislands just outside of the mainland. Fun fact US armed forces loand the locals súpur heavy duty water pumps, thanks USA for that and being the superperpower that dragged old Iceland which was the poorest shithole in europe to one of the prosperus state with over and over again tops various charts for good happy safe living standards, í have ww2 to thank for me being born, USA even paved the route 1 around the country in exchange for á millitairybase on the island, so again thanks america for everything :) peace out, a random Icelander.
Aloha, braddah! E mahalo!
@@cb2000a I'm in Mākaha, and I believe lava is an unstoppable force.
@@nonmihiseddeo4181 They tried a massive attempt at building walls in the 1960 rift zone eruption near Kapoho. Here is footage of that event and the futile efforts trying to build walls to protect the town, not to mention it has legal issues too as any wall built may divert lava onto someone else's property. czcams.com/video/2BsIm7iodIs/video.html
That “danger closed” sign is so cute.
@netwitch56 it's trying its best
Participation trophy 🏆 for little danger/closed sign!
the little sign that could........well tried
@@MellenBerger shhhh..... don't hurt it's feelings....it has big aspirations! It hasn't had all the opportunities that privledged signs have, but in a time of sign diversity, it's time to shine has come!
@@annatheinnotz4901 I apologize to the sign and it´s family, and hope all the best for it in future signage endeavours, at least it is bilingual, always a good quality to have in the sign world.
I never get tired of watching your videos, thank you.
I am amazed over and over again. I’ve been addicted to this since day 1!!!
Great dedication to showing this incredible, beautiful and scary planet building volcano. Thank you!!!
Excellent work by Art and Valur. I was up the path a couple of hours earlier, passing by the excavator and dozer making incredibly quick work of moving a great deal of earth. I dropped a glove along the way, and figured it would be consumed by the eventual lava flow, but gladly, found it on a trek back. The massive growth of the lava field toward the valley since I was last at the site, Saturday was stunning, and sobering.
also. - having just been at the Westman islands for a few days, and seeing the 1973 "seawater rescue" of the harbor, I'm not sure any such effort would succeed today, here. As big as the Heimaey volcano was, this new eruption is something very different - we are only a couple of months in, yes?
That's right. Volcanologist don't believe that this will do anything else than slow the lava flow down. One have said that this was just a waste of time and money.
Valur, you are a warrior. Art, you are an artist with those amazing images! Thank you both for sharing this incredible beauty of Mother Earth. We are lucky to have you as witness of this events. I hope that the damage to your beautiful country’s infrastructure, cities and population will be as minimal as can be. I really wish we could come and see this amazing « once in a lifetime » event but it seems to be too soon with all the health restrictions. Take care!
I am absolutely OBSESSED. Thank you for doing this!
The sound the volcano makes is simply incredible! Cheers from Belgium
The final blast colors and hill shots are so fantastic! TY videographer!
Thank You Valur and Art. Great commentary and footage as always. The volcano seems to be growing in intensity and beauty. Wall is amazing. Great work by guys building it! Stay safe! 🙏
I absolutely love the videos we have nothing like it in the UK. Been watching the volcano every day since it was being streamed. Amazing how much it's changed since the start
Me too 🇬🇧
And me!!
Me three!
Me Four!
Me also I started watching the livestream before it erupted when they had the camera watching another valley where they thought it was going to erupt 😂
As a longtime former resident of the Big Island, Hawaii, I of course am fascinated by volcanoes and appreciative of Iceland's gorgeous volcanic displays. I've been saying that in Hawaii the volcanoes have been referred to as "drive-in volcanoes" so I am calling Iceland's "walk-up volcanoes". The Kilauea eruption in Hawaii went on for over 3 decades almost completely uninterrupted. Building new land and changing the landscape, while covering roads and homes, yet creating new land, and landmass shelves that at times broke off and fell into the ocean. I love love love the Reykjavik Grapevine's coverage. Awesomeness! Professional. Dependable. Still, I am concerned for my 'friends' in Iceland the longer the eruption goes on. Be safe☺
Brilliant video. The reporter (Valur himself?) is such a character too - so natural, relaxed and friendly. And so full of enthusiasm. He and the volcano both have star billing!
Appreciate the compliment. Thanks Jeannette!
Thanks for this information and closed up of the lava construction wall. You are the only one that understands that we are very interested in it. The webcams doesn’t show it close enough!
I heard somewhere that the goal of the wall is not only to stop the lava stream, delaying it would also be very helpful. Maybe it will take a few weeks longer before it is down in the valley and they can better prepare the infrastructure down there.
Many thanks from the Netherlands.
Will be hiking there on Saturday. ❤🔥🌋
That soil is to die for. It is Beautiful !!! Thank you so much for this broadcast.
This does NOT get old to watch. Incredible to watch. I'll be amazed if they succeed in getting that flow to stop with that earthen dam....
Another interesting beautiful adventure, thanks Valur :D
Amazing after the eruption all that roaring and banging inside. Havent heard that before. Thanks for another excellent video.
Another terrific video Valur and Art - amazing content and beautifully filmed.
Fingers crossed this doesn't go out - I've got a week in Iceland at the beginning of September*. Come on Reykjanes you can keep going!
* This means it will be pouring with rain in Iceland in September. On the other hand, if I'm out of the country, it will be the perfect time to take a holiday in the UK.
This production is excellent on all levels... Thank you.
Just to say politely that Nature will always Win it's just the Way Nature is..stay safe....
I ordered a canvas bag today, Love the fact I will be getting a rock of your volcanoes, it's going to be a special surprise for my son who has autism. We have been watching, liking and sharing your news over here. Love your broadcast. It's almost like we Are their with you, maybe sometime after July if covid restrictions change and travel is allowed for us to go see your wonderful part of the world.
I'm sorry Missie, but the lava rock is included only in the lava box - shop.grapevine.is/collections/volcano/products/the-new-lava-box-of-iceland
Please contact us by email and we'll find a way to make you happy :)
Greetings Valur, greetings Art, from Wales UK,i always a joy to see your podcast, that was one heck of a firework there, any higher and i will be able to see it from the Brecon Beacons, stay safe ❤
Wow !!! è sempre puro spettacolo , grazie per la condivisione !! 👍👏👏👏
I could just watch this for hours, days and months. As amazing now as when it first started. Thanks Valur (and the intrepid cameraman) for your continued great work and reporting.
Thank you for this video love your reports, and watching you from Washington State in the USA. God Bless all, stay safe!
This is absolutely fantastic. Those shots at the end are just incredible
The reporting and camera work are beautiful, just beautiful, thank you!
Thank you Valur for an awesome newscast. I would love to be there and see it in person!! Awesome camera work.
Great Footage Thank's For sharing God Bless
More fantastic content! Thank you so much for your continuing coverage!
Thank you for sharing. Unbelievable how something so bad can be so beautiful.
I knew a woman like that!!!!!😂😂😂😂😂😂
Thank you for your coverage, absolutely stunning. Cheers from Victoria Australia 🇦🇺.
That lava aqueduct is just amazing!
Maybe the word should be lavaduct.
@@Rwanda223 Inspired!
Great newscast as usual. Look forward to the next one. Thanks Valur and Art
Thank you Valur and Art for keeping us up to date on your amazing volcano. The machines you showed at the beginning are usually known as an "excavator" and a "back hoe" in America. Hope the dirt wall helps. Stay safe! from San Diego, CA USA
so great! Thank you! First time I could hear the sound of the volcano clearly!
I haven't been following for a few weeks as I've sick, so I got a massive shock when I saw the size of it. It's breathtaking.
INCREDIBLE!!! This planet is truly extraordinary
Hope they can divert the lava just enough to prevent from causing damage. So Amazing how much this volcano has changed, since March.. Art’s videos are spectacular.( Almost feels like I’m actually there watching the volcano.) Hope I can view it in person, in the near future.
Thank You Valur. Stay Safe. From Arizona - We Love Polly. 🌋 😘🐶
aerial views show there is nowhere to divert that flow. it would have to stop and then back up, which is pretty unlikely. This 3D map helped me understand the situation ___ sketchfab.com/3d-models/fagradalsfjall-volcanic-eruption-18052021-73adeb1d4ed54eedb8ee8372836d965d
Here i am 00.27 sitting in my front roomin London watching this on my laptop, the wonder of technology truely amazing.
Been watching it from Maine, United States , for weeks.. Great footage , wish I could see and hear it live.
Amazing video shots of the Volcano.
great work, thank you
Excellent reprots. Look forward to seeing you everyday at dinner time here.
Fabulous video of this volcano. Thank you for sharing it.
Great report again fact not fiction, the sound was amazing thanks again. I hope to vist
with my kid's this year, I will bring a bag of treats for Polly.
I'm a hardcore "Volcan" now ❤️🌋🖖🏻
Keep it up Valur and Art and Polly!
Best regards from Sweden. P.S. I voted for Iceland in last years Eurovision Song Contest online event. Basicly Iceland won. Iceland also won in the swedish votings online. 😊🇸🇪❤️🇮🇸 I really hope Iceland has not gotten to sick from the polish team down in Rotterdam?! I hope they can preform tomorrow! ❤️
This is my new destination addition. The power of nature is incredible. God is good.
I always look forward to your updates Valur. Keep up the great work of keeping all of us informed as to what is happening with this awesome spectacle. 👍
The volcano has come a long way since mini me-awesome video as always
Nice tour of the dam construction and eruption site, thanks for the english language coverage!
Keep the updates coming. 😀😎
Nice job covering this volcano 🌋
It’s aftermath is pretty devastating! Take care and be safe out there.
Cheers from Australia Valur and Art. Your broadcasts are my 'go-to' for all things Volcano, but for all the other amazing things I'm learning about Iceland and its people. Thank you!
Great job Valur and Art, wish I was there )
man that would be absolutely amazing to sit and watch in person!
Thank you for the update.
I live in the south of France but for the past 2 month I feel a little icelandic myself thanks to all your amazing footages on many youtube channels.
I hope the wall will hold !
Incredible- shooting 300 meters into the sky....with that thick lava flow....beautiful 🌋🌋🌋🌋
Thanks for your reports. Very well done!
It never ceases to entertain me. I could watch it all day.
I hope the lava is stopped from affecting infrastructures, build a big big wall or dig a big big valley.
thanks for the info as always
Ur an awesome dude to watch. Much luv n respect from Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada.
Thanks for the support, Ryan!
Thanks for Sharing! ❤
It's interesting how the lava river is creating it's own kind of aqueduct high above the surrounding landscape.
@Dayanto ...lithoduct?
It’s actually quite common. The lava flows along, and bits along the edge cool off and stick. Then another surge of lava makes more bits to stick on top of the older ones, raising the edges. Repeat a whole lot, and the edges keep building up. Every now and then the flow will surge over the edge or the wall will fail and send a flow off to the side, which cools and raises it some more... repeat, repeat, repeat. You end up with a channel perched way up high above the landscape.
@@RoxnDox Just be glad that the volcano is still small. It could (will) get really terrifying if it were a few dozen meters taller. As they get above a moderate height the lava goes down the cone sides fast enough to thin out and cool quicker, changing the process to shield building with some lava flows instead of lava flows with some building. It's that transition area where there is enough cone/shield to generate strong flows but the slopes are still too flat to thin out the flow that is really dangerous to the surrounding area.
@@timberwolf1575 yes indeed. We may get to see the process in action over the next few years.
I cooked noodles on volcano lava welcome to see 👀
I want to see some fine ribeye steaks with onions cooked there.
@@icecold7088 ll
They grow up so fast... I remember when it was just a little crack in the ground. And now look at it... A 200 foot tall lava version of "old faithful" .
How long back it was just a crack?

That opening of the Volcano footage was epic! Love the camera work, this news broadcast really has a winning combination, it's interesting, informative and exciting where you just can't wait for that next video!!! 🌋🌋🌋🌋🌋🌋🌋🌋🌋🌋🌋
I rather doubt the "wall" will have any effect at all on lava movement. Wherever Lava wants, Lava gets. Roads may be inundated in lava, yes, that's part of living in a volcanic country. But losing Toast Lake, that would be a tragic development. I love the story of the lake, the reason it looks like it does, and how the Icelanders gave it such a perfect name.
Thank you Mssrs. Grettisson and Bicnick. I still have an enduring fondness for Bob.
woo those sounds!!
BRAVO COVERAGE ......BEAUTIFUL NATURAL NATURE AT IT'S BEST ,,,,,BRAVO TO ALL ...AND ICELAND,
Hello from Belize Central America
It's truly amazing when you think about the sheer amount of mass that's being thrown around with a flow like that.
Great videos! Super interesting, thank you for filming it. Just incredible. Hi from Seattle Washington 🙋♀️👏
That would be an excavator and a bull dozer. Wonderful coverage. I watch every video!
They need a BIG digger and a fleet of 2 big mining trucks, a fuel truck, a mobile trailer with water and a shitter, OR they WIIL loose the battle. This monster is growing, the lava flow is hotter, flowing faster, like water now!
Best informational video I have seen so far! Great work Art!! thanks
The last couple of minutes of this are breathtaking. Full marks to the camera and sound man.
Love your work. So dramático y different every time you go. Amazing and beautiful. Thank you
Amazing landscape and power of nature , thanks from Germany 🇩🇪 bw and take care ❗️😎👋
This was very interesting. Thank you very much.
What I love more than showing up as one of the first viewers of your videos is seeing a view count of 30k when I show up and it is still the first day of viewing. Thank you for the update on the wall and the ongoing news and view of the changes at the volcano site. 🙂
What is the difference between a backhoe and an excavator?
The main difference between the two machines is size - excavators are larger and heavier, while backhoes are slightly smaller. The excavator is typically a better fit for demolition projects, mining, driving piles, drilling shafts for rock blasting, and overall large-scale industrial projects.
It is simply extraordinary. That rushing river of lava is mind blowing. I am very interested in seeing how the wall plays out and slows the progress of the lava flow. All that lava has to go somewhere, regardless. Thank you again.
I travelled from France to see the volcano on Sunday afternoon and Monday night, actually my mind has not yet recovered from seeing this. If you're vaccinated and have some bucks, just GO and see it!
....and if you're prepared to quarantine on arrival and when you get back to your home country.
I’m very jealous of you. I’m vaccinated but on half salary. So no travel for a long time.
Did you have to quarantine on arrival? I'll be coming from France in about a month from now, and the quarantine information isn't very clear..
Yes, you need to quarantine, but if you have proof of vaccination, you only need to quarantine until the test they give you at the airport comes back negative (a few hours). If you're not vaccinated, you probably shouldn't be traveling anyway.
Did you fully vaccinated? Or you take the quarantine?
I read online on Iceland tourism website, they welcome tourist from around the globe with 2 condition:
- you must be in quarantine if not vaccinated
- you can start your journey without quarantine if you fully vacinated in home country
Thank you very much👏🙏👏🙏🌋
Best photography I have seen of the volcano, particularly the opening scene!
It's huge compared to before. Wow!
Thanks for this, Valur. In the UK, we usually call those machines "excavators" or just "diggers".
Valur has good advice for ghosts and the undead. "If you're not in a physical form, just, like, use your willpower to get there."
He means not in good physical shape. Ghosts aren't real. Yeah I know you are joking but it's not as clever as you might think.
LMAO !!!!!!!!!
1:36 ""They are trying to stop this here"" then big sincere laugh.
The most accurate moment of the video :)
