The New Icelandic Lava Road After 2 Eruptions - Thermal Drone View and More
Vložit
- čas přidán 12. 05. 2024
- I did this thermal scan with a few before and after videos to show you the hot lava road that got covered twice with tongues of lava coming from the eruption in February and April. I decided to have a little fun with the editing since iv'e been doing so many videos that i really didn't want to do since November. This is a natural disaster and we might just as well get the third doze of lava over the road tomorrow, but so be it, we will just fix it again so this video is simply symbolic of Icelandic stubbornness, or the famous Icelandic phrase, "Þetta reddast" meaning, it' will be fine.

Thank you for visiting the Just Icelandic Channel.
Greetings from Iceland. Gylfi
typical Icelandic hot lava road maintenance - LOL. love your sense of humor!
🤗
What indomitable people you Icelanders are. Thanks for this.
Appreciated :)
Fantastic video! I love the determination of the Icelandic people. Lava not even cold, barely even solid and they were like.. we need a road here so let’s do this! 💪💪
It's the only way to handle this 🤗 good for the mentality as well 🤗
A society that has survived for more than a thousand years yet has the heart to look after each other and get it done, are amazing. I wish more societies would do that. The world would be a better place.
I can see aliens now.....observing us from afar and saying... in perfect Queen's English of course:
"The bipedals didn't flee sir - they.......they just paved a road **over** the lava"
"I'm sorry.....they did what??"
"Just....right over it sir....it's not even cold yet...."
😉👽👍
This shows us perfectly the heat retained by the lava. It will take a long time to cool.
I need to do more thermal scans from the 2021 lava field, it's on my plans...
Great film footage and good music to go with it.
Thanks Gylfi… Di..Cumbria.
Thank you too!
I enjoy all of your videos Gylfi but this one was really fantastic. I loved all of the before/after shots, and how you showed the progression through various eruptions. I also really enjoyed the thermal imaging coupled with the use of the water truck - it really made the use of the water truck make sense!
Thank you so much! I had some problems with this one, knew the thermal footage would be of interest but needed something more with it, and while the truck drove by, I knew I had the shot that would make me finish the job, I'm getting tired of endless bummer news from there, so I needed do have a little fun with this one, and I'm glad you liked the outcome :)
@@JustIcelandic I thought that was such a great part of the video. I wonder if the driver looked in his side mirror and wondered who was following him!
Awesome! 🌟 .. you Icelandic guys must have magma running through your veins .. 😊
Yes we do 😊
When they called it 'the land of ice and fire', they were referring to the people, not the geology. 😉
@@BellaBarossa right ! 😊
Future Archeologists : Wow they must have really liked this road, they rebuilt it twice over lava!
The Blue Lagoon is really, really popular :)
My word. This is pretty frightening! Watching those vehicles driving over the hot spots made me shiver. ☹
It's not dangerously warm, just enough to give the tires better grip after few rounds over it, slow speed.
@@JustIcelandicdo you know if there are any signs - or local warnings - advising drivers not to linger on the hottest parts of the road, or is everyone just taking it in their stride? I'd imagine that the tyres would become a bit soft if a car stopped in that section for more than a minute or so.
Great video footage. Well put together too!! Happy Monday!!
Thank you very much!
Wow, I did not realise the road was on top of the lava. I assumed they had scraped it away back to the road surface. Icelanders are something special ❤️. Thank you. A great video.
Welcome ❤
I'm amazed at how quickly Iceland repairs roads. We need to borrow some of your maintenance people to teach us in the UK!
But I appreciate that they are all rather busy at the moment!
I guess it's just a basic dirt road plus perhaps some asphalt this far. It's only a quick and temporary solution but who knows where the lava will end up next? Plus it will be a while before *that* road is going to freeze over. When you need to water on the road to keep it from getting too hot, there's a lot of heat stored down there!
The icelandic lava has its sides, good and bad. The good one is that you don't have to worry much about how to construct a solid base to put the road on. Once you have cleared the rubble from the area, the base is there - solid as a rock.
Excellent drone footage and good soundtrack. You always add more with the historical context and show how much the area has changed. Thank you gylfi. Stay well
Thank you very much!
A close look at the road and thermal image with vehicles traveling over the hot lava, it is an incredible achievement to have a road open over the lava.
I like the thermal view- how "hot" are the hot segments (unable to walk on, melt tyres if you stop on it, etc.)?
Given the vehicle traffic, I'm guessing under 100 C?
The heat responsive footage was gorgeous!
The Icelandic attitude to disaster is just what the world needs :D
Amazing video. What an achievement by the Highways people! Not a place for a puncture....
This is how to do things :)
What a great video of the road work!!! Really well done, thank you Gylfi
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks! Icelanders are so amazing. ♥️
I didn’t know that they were spraying it with water to cool down the surface, but that makes sense.
Your before/after is great.
Thanks a ton :)
Hi G. Second today! Even so, looking forward to the vid, and my next visit over there. Maybe next year.
Thank You for sharing.
My pleasure!
Not bad, not bad at all Gylfi 🤗 Thank you❤
Welcome 🤗
Wow. That was amazing drone footage and seeing the hot spots. The music too with it. ❤❤❤❤❤
Brilliant footage - catching up with your videos - the road must go on attitude is a good one to have and sort of symbolic really of the Icelandic people’s resilience to all that is happening with nature.
Thanks you very much :)
Wow, the thermal imaging of the bus full of tourists crossing the fresh hot lava took me back a moment. Iceland’s level of resilience is really something to strive for. I always enjoy your music choices too. Thanks so much for sharing your content, your country and your humor!
So love your work Gylfi. Thanks for driving so far to add to your history of changing land and of the forces at work around stoic little Grindavik and the resilient Blue Lagoon. That necklace of lava held back by those brilliant barriers must be getting heavy. And I too love the thermal footage of the traffic over the hotspots and the pragmatic water cooling truck taming the resolutely hot lava LOL! Thanks as ever! Xx from Samoa deep in the Pacific.
Great images! It looks very hot in places. Are there special traffic rules for driving on a fresh lava road, like "keep on driving, don't stop" and the like?
Forbidden to stop :)
Wonderfully informative video! Loved this one! Thanks, Gylfi! :)
Wow - Such an amazing view, both the overhead view and the thermal image! So interesting to see the maintenance truck at work too. It's a wonder and we are so lucky to be able to see the detail. Thanks as always for your wonderful work!
Fantastic PEOPLE.! NO DOUBT They LOVE THEIR LAND ! YOU ARE THE WINNERS ! ! GOD BLESS YOU. 👍🌹
👍 much appreciated
That's crazy to look at!
Something different :)
Excellent video and shows the determination of Icelandic people to carry on regardless.
The only option we have and thanks for watching :)
Great footage and timely for me- I think I was going over that hotspot last week with my husband. I saw a sign to keep moving; otherwise the tires would melt if we stopped. Now I understand why and I’m bummed I missed catching the sign on video.
Awesome footage! Now I am wondering when the mid-Atlantic Ridge is going to tell the Icelandic hot spot "Ok, let's give up on this. We're never going to beat these people. They don't quit." 🙌🙋
The earth doesn't sleep......
Great video and tribute to the amazing indomitable people of Iceland . Amazing place - so peaceful and beautiful along with great people- I loved our trip to your great country and would love to comeback in the summer . ❤️🙏🏻.
Started with a smile and ended with a smile 😄 In awe inbetween. Icelanders taking care of buisseness and do what they gotta do..! Right, Gylfi? 😉 Thank You -my coffee tastes even better now! And I’m still smiling! 😁💕
I cannot imagine dealing with volcanos on a regular basis but especially driving over lava - especially HOT 🥵 lava. I understand cooled lava can punch through and to even think what that would be like … well .. I don’t want to. I think about the man who volunteered in one of the earlier eruptions and fell into the depths of the open earth. Breaks my heart. Actually for everyone who has also been separated from their homes and friends and families most likely. A different breaking of the heart than death. But still painful to think.
Always like your videos and the extra touches of the music you choose. Quite informative about many things too. Thank you. Be careful. Stay safe. ❤
Awesome. I love the before and after footage. 🙏✌️❤️
Thanks ✌️
You really have to hand it to the Icelanders, they sure did find something to use with the lava!!😊👍 Great job Icelanders!!!😊👍 That's really awesome repairing the road with some of the lava!!!😊👍 I'm proud of you Icelanders!!!😊👍 Your country is great!!!😊
Esp expressed by sound change matched to slight image change. Well done
Thanks and welcome :)
Excellent insights…, thankyou - no one else has this capability, knowledge, experience in putting this all together… 👍
Wow.
Welcome :)
That was so amazing to watch! Thank you for the experience of seeing that. Following the steaming water tanker really makes the point. I get anxious watching people drive over that road and think about doing it in with my extremely low profile. It's tires is terrifying to contemplate.
Beautiful compilation, Gylfi!!! ❤
What is the road surface temperature?
Loved this - impressive achievements highlighted by the skilful contrast of fascinating thermal and normal drone footage - thank you
LOVE ICELANDERS!!!
Much appreciated :)
At least you guys drive on the right side of teh rooad!
; )
👍
superb explanation of the story of the road. - thanks
My pleasure!
Wonderful video. A big high 5 to Iceland. You guys are amazing.
Thanks so much!
Incredible footage, Gylfi! Very impressive! 😊
Many thanks!
Playing the good old game "the flloor is lava" 😅 i wonder: how hot is the surface of the road at the moment?
And how long will it take to cool down or remove the top layer to make a new tarmac road on the old surface?
Thank you Gylfi...well done on another great video...''Don't walk on the lava'' ...🤣🌋
Love from Scotland 🌠
Thank you! 😃 and greetings to good old Scotland :)
Incredible. There is this 80's Finnish rock song "Moottoritie on kuuma" = "The highway is hot" - but this one sure is that.
Wow! Great footage! Thank you for sharing! 😊
Thanks for watching
Wow, Gylfi -- the regular views swapped with the IR views of the same locations and roads ... eye popping. That sign about not walking on the lava road has more heft after seeing the IR video. (And the sign is in English, not Icelandic -- wonder why, hmmm?)
I really admire the spirit of Icelanders. They have history of all types of adversity, yet they always find a way to just keep going. ❤
Thanks for sharing :)
Nice of the Elves to spare the road as much as they did.
They have their good sides :)
Awesome footage Gylfi, thanks for sharing !
Many thanks!
I love the Icelander attitude.....lava over the road? Yeh, no problem. We'll cover it over and just keep watering it to keep the dust down!
😀
I have really enjoyed your volcano videos. I watch at least one every day you have chosen perfectly beautiful music to go with it
Thank you very much!
I love this video so much! 💜 I wish I could give it a 100 likes!! ❣
I loved to hear this and enjoy :)
Wonderful video! Thank you!
I wont be surprised if a vehicles tires melt or goes threw the road judging by the hot spots on your infra red! Another great video 👍👍❤️🇨🇦
Replying to myself here, somehow I cant correct my grammar spelling once posted.
No it's not hot enough :)
Whew, I was concerned. Thanks for your quick reply.
Plus side of building roads on top of relatively fresh lava: no need to plow snow or de-ice roads for a few months during winter.
Con: need to periodically hose down the surface to keep it below tire-popping temperature.
Thank you.. Best regards
Stunning!
Thank you! Cheers!
I really do enjoy your videos!
From Pietermaritzburg South Africa
Marvelous footage with your thermal drone and comparisons over time, rousing soundtrack, thank you, Gylfi for spending so much time away from home so you can share all this with the world. I miss the now buried little lava road, a wonderful tourist site while it lasted.
Amazing footage! Love the thermal drone! Please look after yourself.
Amazing video. Thank you.
wow
wonderful footage
Many thanks
The winter shots are cool. They really drive home how long it actually takes for lava flows to completely cool down.
Very interesting - great repair work by the road construction teams 👍
Thanks 👍
Great drone footage to great music Just Icelandic. It is amazing that you can drive across the lava road without melting your tires. It is one place you don't want to have a break down. It's going to be years before that road is cool enough to walk on.
Thanks 👍 it's not so hot :) else I would have fried egg on it for fun :)
I have driven on 43 to 427 so many times during my visits to Iceland that I know every inch of that road. After my flight to KEF and on my way to Selfoss my wife and I would stop in Grindavik for a snack. I will be back in Iceland in June and use the same route to go to Hverageroi where we will be staying. 427 is a beautiful drive. In 2011 I hiked to Eyjafjallajkul and the lave was so hot the you could not stand in one place for very long. Ben
Glæsileg samantekt 👏👏👏
Takk kærlega
Nice video Gylfi. It show the determination of Icelanders to get on with things, no matter what the volcanoes bring. Look after yourself and take care. Greetings and best wishes from NZ.
Gylfi, your narrative sense, your footage and editing, all make what is happening in Iceland very real without the edge of hysteria that sometimes creeps into others' 'coverage." You are calm, consistent, informative, and easy to understand - I don't know what you do or did in your "real" life, but your skills in this area are outstanding, and I am grateful for what you are providing. deep gratitude to you. Meanwhile, a question: for those hot spots in the road, what is the danger to vehicle tires? Thanks!
What the heck? The lava is still hot? A month after the flow? If I didn't just see it, I wouldn't believe it!
Thank you for showing us the 'unseen'!
It will be warm even after years. Depends on the height, but 10m high flow takes 3 years to cool.
Good job documenting this . I love the way people just build a road on top of it all and continue their lifes,, I think you have to be born in a place like that to be cool about it all,,, I would be terrifired,, I was there driving those roads,,Looking at the geisers,,It freaked me out to think about how the earth can just open up and swollow me ..I was up there in 2011 when that vulcano blew up,,I actually flew right above it with the plane and the captain told us to look the windows ,- 2 hours later it blew up ,, Scary shit,, Was there a for a month after,, Love Iceland..😍
I just love your videos my dear sir,the string music creates such a powerful presentation too your top quality videos thank you so much for your hard work, take care my freind!!!
Many thanks for your comment and greetings from the volcano island :)
That's crazy seeing people drive over a road of still warm lava. Very quick work by road maintenance department. We could do with some of that in ours.
Just remember, no parking on warm lava! 💚✌️😎🇮🇸
bad for the tires, need balancing after such parking place :)
@@JustIcelandic Definitely! Just so you know, I've got some catching up to do. We've been having a very active tornado season, and I follow meteorology, as well. Hopefully these will let up soon. Our Tornado Alley is doing too much to live up to its name this season. And, they're not giving much warning. Today some were spinning up as fast as the conditions were spotted. At least volcanoes don't drop right down out of the sky.
Hope your weather and travels are going smoothly! 💚🇮🇸✌️😎🍀
Wow!
I wondered what you meant with 'dry spot' until you showed the watering tank truck... you Icelanders surprise me time and again.
Welcome :)
Amazing footage!
Glad you think so!
I am not sure what the motivation is to cross recent lava flow to stand on a patch of asphalt.
but....humans
Great video. Thanks!
Glad you liked it!
Fantastic Video 🫶👍
Thank you very much!
Won't have to worry about Black Ice on the road for a while.
Great video
That's crazy since rubber melts (vehicle tires).
Not hot enough for that :)
Good news is that it should remain ice free during the winter months!!!
We need that :)
Always watch your 6 🙏💯
Welcome :)
Great to see how hot that road over the lava really is. I'm sure that amount of water was really, really going to cool it off a lot. ;) Thanks Gylfi!
*Your narration is much better than the inappropriate music.*
Amazing. Does the heat effect your tyres?is the water to help harden/ cool the lava?
Great video as usual. Thank you again from Suzqnne in Australia
