- There has been some unusual earthquake activity near the Icelandic volcano Hekla so experts have expressed concern over the uncertainty that characterises this huge volcano. Everything was calm though when this post was uploaded but I am however adding some necessary links to use in case of an eruption, with a little bit of information and photos of course.

My great grandfather Halldor Johnson came to the US in the late 1800's after Hekla ruined his farm!
I was the same with the Askja eruption but most of the people took off to Canada back then so we Icelanders are all around the world now. You might like this story here: czcams.com/video/AOQnnc2IppY/video.html
Hi my langa afi ( Gr. Grandfather ) was named Halldor Jonsson as well. From Skagafjordur, IS. A
@@JustIcelandic thank you for sharing this documentary a number of my icelandic speaking cousins were interviewed for it.
Just Icelandic, I watched the video in your link - extremely interesting and valuable history. Thank you for sharing the video link! I learned so much.
@@JustIcelandic Yup, Askja sent my people to Canada from Vopnafjordur. I've always wondered, do Icelanders REALLY call those who immigrated to US/Canada "West Icelanders"?
Living below a sleeping volcano that historically threw out cabin sized boulders in the 20th Century, it is insane to see those folks clambering up Hekla! One burp and they could have been set on fire or flattened by a lava bomb...never mind the guy standing with steam and gases blowing forcefully around him. What they didn't know I guess didn't bother them.
Great video as always!
Thanks, we Icelanders have always looked at here a this typical tourist volcano, but the old mapmakers knew better, so we should hope for frequent eruptions
@@JustIcelandic It will be interesting to see what the next decade brings to Iceland
Stay safe and be careful. Nothing more unpredictable than a volcano(s). Thank you for the pictures and keeping us informed.
Every time I see a new video of yours in my feed, a big smile appears on my face. Even when the news is concerning, you have a wonderful way of narrating what is going on.
I knew almost nothing about all of the different volcano systems in Iceland until I found your channel. Thank you for doing so much research and taking care to make great videos.
Thank you so much, just what I needed into the week after very busy weekend :) and welcome :)
Thank you for all your videos to date, you are a wonderful storyteller and I have learned so much!
Thanks for watching and it helps to know you like my work :)
Your reports are amazing (and funny)!
Live webcam of volcano with bonus animals, it just doesn't get much better.
I adore the comedy clips that you insert in your videos. I'd love to buy you a beer some day!
Deal!
Thank you! I am really enjoying your videos. Your sense of humor is like mine... Stay safe. Gorgeous photos! Beautiful Iceland!
Wow, didn't knew that there exists coloured/re-coloured footage of a mid 20th century Hekla eruption!
And so close up as well!
Thank you for sharing!
Yes, fantastic and rare footage :)
Thank You so much for the great maps, illustrations, videos, stills, commentary and laughs! 😂 All much appreciated!
Great 'old' footage of Hekla. The 1947 Eruption was massive! Hopefully, the next eruption will be a lot smaller. 🙏 Glad that today's Volcanoligists and RAS Team Members are better protected against heat and volcanic gases.
Stay safe! 🌋
Beautiful rainbows! 🌈
Glad you enjoy it 🌋 and welcome :)
Beautiful photography.
Thank you so much 😀
Stay safe and well over there, it sounds like you guys are not in a safe place. Prayers for all. Thank you for sharing this video 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍❤️❤️
Love the links you provide. Lots of excellent information in them . . . Seeing the old film footage of people on the slopes of an active volcano, with hot rocks and lava bombs bouncing all around them blew me away! What on Earth were they thinking? On a lighter note; however, they were able to make burnt toast and everyone was smiling and appeared to be enjoying themselves. Thanks for the informative links and video. Keep safe!
"Easily rank up to five" - shows playing horses
"Two eruptions around six" - chicken turns crazy and zooms around its crowd
Best combinations ;-)
I love that you plan to 'save up' photo footage of Hekla in her current state for a video about a future eruption. Do you see youself as a visual journalist? I guess you are one.
Thank you for your interesting and informative videos. Blessings and Good Tidings to you and yours !!!
Thank you for your kindness and blessings, appreciated...
As always, wonderful background commentry and introduction to the dynamic landscapes of Iceland! I've seen the 1947 eruption footage before and like you was amazed at how blasé to the dangers those 'geotourists' were. I guess just 2 years after the end of WW2, the concept of health & safety was considered in rather a different manner ;-)
Yes wow, I was amazed by this :) and asked my self, what did they pay those people but it was scientists that were up there during the filming :) and thanks for visiting :)
2021: look at those idiots walking on deadly lava and setting a bad example for others
1946: look at those brave vulcanologists advancing human understanding. Who knew you could make toast on a rock!
At least that shows a few people learned from those idiots in 1957. Obviously though we still have idiots around today though..
Like moths to a flame.
Iceland must be evacuated, it’s to dangerous. ;)
Such wonderful videos! Thank you for sharing Iceland with the world!
Glad you enjoyed it and welcome again :)
Thank you Gylfi 👍, I'm learning a lot from your videos!❤️🇮🇹
❤️Fantastic👍 enjoy and more to come soon :)
👏😁❤️Thank you for sharing this with us x safe journey and return to home safely x
Thanks so much 👏😁❤️
I look forward to your videos so much. They are so informative and you always inject a bit of humour. Thank you ☺️
Thank you so much :) so nice to hear and lots more coming soon :)
Always enjoy your videos and the history you share. Thanks for all the hard work you have done, and willing to share with us. Stay safe!
Thank you very much :) just starting :)
Love the running chickens……they are great alarmists for earthquakes and volcanic activity, thank you for your videos! Stay safe dear sir!
Glad you like them, it was a good scene :) and welcome :)
From Spain, my best wishes to that wonderful island and its people.
Greetings to Spain and welcome :)
Very Interesting photos of Hekla. I’m a hiker and I do appreciate that there are warnings in case of possible volcanic activity. It’s better to be safe than sorry. Thank you for all the maps and beautiful landscape photography. I love your presentations.
Thank you so much, appreciated :)
Great video. Thank you for the news from Iceland and sharing your photographs.
Thanks for watching :)
There have been quake swarms at Högnhöfthi south of Langjökul. Some of the are shallow. It seems to have coled down now.
Then it started to move at Botnahnukur north Hveragerthi about 4 km deep so farily shallow. Hope it calm down without anything happening because it's so close to the town.
There where a spot on the flat land NW of Hengil that repeatedly got earthquake at the begining at the eruption at Reykanes peninsula but that to seems to have calmed down. Looks like a trend that magma is also moving furhter east from the peninsula? But nothing close as hectic as before the eruption at the peninsula so nothing to wory about.
We worry anyway....
More about this in my latest video :)
Beautiful pictures! Thank you!
Welcome :)
Thank you very much for this video and the links! :)
Welcome :)
Hekla is a very scary volcano by any measure, and that old map you showed shows how people have had good reason to fear it for a very long time. Thanks for this video. I hope Hekla continues to sleep.
I'm beginning to learn not to drink my tea as I watch your videos, too much danger of snorting it out again ;) Sometimes in the depths of winter you can see aurora on the Hekla live cam
Thank you so much :) and enjoy, more on the way today :)
Great video, as always. When I come to Iceland next month I intend visiting Falgradallsjokull at the beginning and end of my 3 weeks, but doing the Fimmvorduhals, Laugavegur and Hellismannaleid trails in between. The last of these runs near to Hekla, to Leirubakki. I hope she is putting on a show by then (low VEI, obviously!)
Fantastic photos!
Got my finger crossed for ya! Nice info! 🤓✌
You be careful and our hope goes out to all for a safe journey… Poles still moving…
Those shifting poles are playing hell on my poor broken body.
Why are people so obsessed with magnetic poles? We're not birds :D
If you're worried about hazardous radiation you should worry more about out ozone layer.
@@Vulcano7965 wrong. The magnetic field of earth and the solar system blocks more cosmic background radiation than the ozone layer.
@@Vulcano7965 not an obsession here just stating a fact…
@@markgamble7699 It's a "nice-to-know" fact for the general public.
Not a safety advice :D
I only drove by Hekla once or twice during my visits to southern iceland but it left a menacing impression. Especially if she's cloud free visible and you stare down her crater rows. Like the earth itself takes aim right at you.
Its a reason for her reputation :)
Thanks for the video, and the update. I noticed that you really have a keen eye when it comes to photography and composition. Very good work.
Thank a lot, still learning :)
I wish for 10^C! It was 112°F which is hades hot. Be safe..and thank you for showing us your beautiful country! I hope Hekla will be quiet. There's enough going on right now!
Thank you! 😃
Wonderful info+video. Thank you
So nice of you, thanks :)
I guess we can hope that the fissure at Fagradalsfjall is easing the pressure on Hekla. I mean, that thing is going crazy. It's insane to imagine that those huge amounts of magma are coming from the mantle of Earth and just keeps coming. Thanks for the update.
Hekla doesn’t share the same system as fagradalsfjall so there is no correlation between there. Hekla could as well blow at the same time. She is long overdue now and could erupt any day.
@@prakkari
Thanks for that information, Jón. I thought they were quite close to each other but I guess even if that's the case, there's no real reason why they should be on the same geological system. Am I correct in assuming you're Icelandic? What a beautiful and dynamic land it is. I'm so appreciative of these constant updates.
@@annakeye Thanks. Yes I’m Icelandic. Actually suffering from sore throat and headache because of my close proximity to the volcano only a couple of miles from me. ;j The mid Atlantic ridge goes through the country from southwest to north east and is divided into several fissures, each a separate sones of activity. The volcano erupting is at one of the west most area at the tip of a peninsula. Hekla is east of the middle in a sone that erupts quite frequently. Last in late summer 2014 in a place called Holuhraun, north of Vatnajokull glacier.
Interesting times ahead. Stay safe and again thank you for your content and its excellent presentation.
Thank you kindly and welcome :)
Love the dry wit.
Thank a lot :)
Very interesting footage from previous eruptions, thanks you
Many thanks!
you make such wonderful photos, I always enjoy!!
Amazing video; thank you.
Thank you too!
I just followed that link you left in the comments regarding the Icelandic migration to America and Canada in the late 1800's.... this generation of Australians (myself), Americans and Canadians can trace our ancestors back to the huge migration from the difficulties of this time.
For me: English, Scottish, Irish, Danish...
Looks like Hekla mixed mantle plume lava with steam/mud/ash from the crust as well!!
What that bunch didn't know about lava walking wasn't worth knowing.
LOL
Approaching Hekla in 1980, you could feel it before you could see or hear it. Sort of like base note on a large church organ. As we got nearer, lava fountains, lava bombs, smoke and ash filled the sky. When within walking distance of the lava flow you could see orange lava just under the surface of blackened surface lava. The whole moving wall of lava gave off a crinkling noise of broken glass as it advance slowly across lava plane. The ultimate show of nature’s power during my tour at Naval Air Station Keflavik. Too much fun exploring Iceland whenever opportunity arose.
Well written comment I must say :) I was there in my mind, but in fact in Akureyri when this started, brushing ash of cars and around the house :) and welcome :)
Besides not being good for hikers, it would make short work of Ring Road (lava or perhaps glacial water outflow). Road seems much nicer now that it is paved and bridges cross rivers and streams. Have to find my slides of eruption.
Very interesting! Thanks
Hekla is 1 I have been worried about for 5-10 years God Bless 🙏
Thank you 🙏 I hope it's gonna be over and done with sooner that later
This video and your commentary were very interesting. Thanks for including the links. The sight of people climbing around while great chunks of lava fell all around them was astonishing. The recent rift volcano "Nar" has brought out some lava-walking idiots too, but they can't compete with these folks!
Those scenes might fit for the series: "worst job in the world" but I don't think they had to go so far, scary footage, but good from its age... and thanks for visiting :)
Tourists/geologists back then we're brave. Massive lava rocks tumbling down, tephra flying all around, and they don't even seem concerned.
A tourist today walks on some cooled lava a few kilometers away from volcano and CZcams chat goes nuts.
Yeah those are different times :) but I would not have brought my camera up there so I bought a 200/500mm zoom lens :)

Thank you for your videos! They are very informative, the footage and pictures are really amazing, the storytelling is exciting and easy to follow (plus the great sense of humour).
I am travelling with a friend to Iceland in a week and planning to hike on Hellismannaleið-Laugavegur-Fimmvörðuháls trail (8 days).
After watching your video concerning about Hekla, I got worried. Actually, at first I was looking at the earthquake map myself and (although not an expert) got a little worried about the earthquakes in the area and their meaning, so then I was trying to get some more information and stumbled upon your videos, then I got really worried and I am thinking whether I should change my hiking plans and not get that close to Hekla?
All the best and greetings from Estonia!
No I would not worry, it's all very calm now :) and it's a good route you're taking, a fantastic one actually :) so I would not skip the chance for anything, and have a great time in Iceland :)
Stay safe every one in Iceland 🇮🇸 thank you for the share
From UK 🇬🇧 🌛🌕🌜
Greetings to UK and thanks :)
10°C is stinking hot in Iceland. 🤣😂 love it👍
I'm from England and even to me, that's bloody cold!
He said 20C...
@@andybolton9712 thats what I heard. Made me think: Woot! No need for a jumper.
Oh my that shot with the rainbow and the sunset!!!!!
Thanks :) it can be beautiful here :)
Keep away from volcanos these days!!! When I have bad feelings bad things usually will happen. These feelings are the worst ever. Born 1942
We are careful here and thanks :)
41 C here today, wish it was 20 !
We Icelanders are not programmed for such heat as you have to deal with :)
Honestly I started to be a little concerned , wish all the best to Iceland 🇮🇸 be from Germany 🇩🇪
Thank you and greetings to Germany 🇩🇪
I have tried to climb Hekla twice witout success, but I can say that it truly looks like mordor up there. Scary mountain. Will come back though.
not hekla but i just finished watching the series "katla" just hope she doesnt go off soon, she's aswell overdue. was a week just a bit outside of vik in a very nice b&b and the owner told us they were wary about her...
Yes it's plenty of volcanoes close to erupt, pretty hectic times here :)
Oh man, going walking there next week. Hope she doesn't blow up in our face!
Neeee :) if so we will find you another volcano that's a bit cooler :)
@@JustIcelandic 😄🙏
Oh boy, I'm doing a tour with a stop by the roots of Hekla. I don't think I would be brave enough to do the hike😅
Love the humour! Seems there is a history of people doing stupid things around volcanos.
Certainly a risk some adventurers and scientist are willing to take. Some call it stupid, some don't.
People enjoy dangerous activities. Get used to it.
This large lady has a mind of her own She’s stronger than we think and has a short fuse. I’ve watched her since EJ blew
Handy! If you live in the right place, there is no need to buy a toaster, plus the bonus of free underfloor heating.
I hope the next eruption of Hekla is only an easing of pressure and nothing catastrophic.
Thank you from New Zealand 🇳🇿 I'll definitely check the other channels. Very interesting living rock you live on, glad ours is peaceful at the moment 😀 👍 enjoy your summer,,, it still sounds cold to me. 🍻😎👍
Hekla is definitely primed for another 1104 type of eruption.
7:15 as a geoguessr player i appreciate pictures like this :)
but this location was pretty hard to find, since google maps doesnt show road 428 for some reason.
Try map.is for the roads :) and road.is :) and welcome :)
That doesn't seem like a very good idea to stand in front of those red hot lava boulders.
Must have been terrible to be a geologist back then in 1947...how much did they pay those people...I really wanna know :)
@@JustIcelandic I think the going pay rate back then was about a-buck-two-ninety-eight/hr.
This is the one I am watching….
Yepp, something was moving 2 days ago, quiet now though
I loved Akureyri when I visited Iceland 30 years ago, and was inspired to follow those women that brought the trees and flowers there..... after our stay with Knutur at Osar, we camped at municipal campsite, enjoyed the great swimmingbath... and those blue poppies at the botanical garden.
after all these years, this 6 week trip on the bus on road no1 around the island was so memorable, that my daughter's dad often feared I would emigrate there...
have often thought of the context of your government allowing the Americans to dig that big hole through a mountain to rush water through to power their aluminum plant.... and the fact that soon after completion and the water rushing through, your economy went down the drain just like that....
did the ELVES have their revenge stante pedes? just a thought
Eisch....not another one rumbling....tkx for info
Welcome :)
20 degrees.
Stonking hot.
Icelandic heat wave 😂
Which one will be next... Hekla Katla Hekla Katla Hekla Katla... (kinda sounds like a clock ticking)
It really is :)
I remember there was unusual activity near Hekla during the Eyjafjallajökull eruption 2010 aswell (earthquakes).
I guess it was because of how close the two volcanoes are.
Edit: My bad, was Tekla that time (eek). I'm not from Iceland, I mix them together sometimes.
Thanks for the 'heads-up'. Watched a doco on Hekla a short while ago. 'Before ' photos would be so amazing should it decide to erupt. Hmmm....seems nothing's changed re the dumb eruption tourists who think it's clever to challenge a volcano. Thanks for the 'live-cam' info :)
:) enjoy the cam, it's a good one :) and your straight to the point comment :)
@@JustIcelandic ...lol...Prime candidates for the Darwin Award.
Thank you
You're welcome
I am happy that this volcano will erupt.
Because if I'm not happy, the vocano will erupt anyway.
Well was fun watching your videos. After the eruption, if the ocean froze (due to the density of the volcanic hashes and the lack of sun) try to drive west to Groenland. Forget about the Feroe Island, they will be covered by the hashes. Oh don't forget the compass.
Thanks for visiting :)
Volume/voice is very low on your recording.anyone else?
Love it, excellent.
Many thanks!
Just have been there one day before....
Hope you have a good stay in Iceland :)
enjoy the summer.....
Thanks a lot :)
Can you tell me if Hafnarfjordur would be safe from an eruption from Hekla?
We were under the gas cloud today from Geldingdalur and it gave us headaches.
I am getting a little worried about these volcanoes.
You'll be fine, usually it's just a "tourist eruption" and it's a lot farther away from Hafnafjörður than Fagridalur.
@@kolbeinnhelgi6341 Thank you so much.
I had just watched Katla series and it started to play on my mind. Lol.
Isn’t Katla also like 10 years overdue its eruption cycle?
At least 10 yr overdue, the last big one in 1918 so she might be furious from such hangover...
@@JustIcelandic yeah I thought the upper end of its eruption cycle was around 90 years , could be a big one.
Iceland seems to have the other end of the stick from Canada when it comes to climate change these days. Same here, unusually cold and wet. I guess you'll have to find other ways to get it warm up there, but maybe next year you'll be so lucky to end up in a strong jet stream dome and experience 49.6 Celcius in Rekjavik. You may want to invest in airco before that happens though.
Climate change is natural. Happens every few thousand years.
Oh no. So we’ve got a shield volcano threatening to swallow large parts of iceland, and now we’ve got a strato looming.
And Grímsvötn as well :)
@@JustIcelandic
Oh yea. Laki.
Well stay safe
Is it possible that Fagradalsfjall can destabilize the region ?
These people in this video were nuts. Do people still do this? Other than American tourists of course...
lol
Uff, I could hardly believe it but this was in 1947 and it must have been a well payed job back then....
I enjoy your videos for the information, of course, but I also look forward to Monty Python clips inserted here and there. Great balance of good and bad - keeps us from obsessing. Hope for a dead parrot somehow linked to volcano activity.
lol @ 10C being stinking hot. It's currently 15C here in Melbourne Aust. and I'm beyond panic mode, now in survival mode.
That is a very large volcano.
Yes, my generation should know more about it for sure, and thanks for visiting :)
Wow! Crazy lava walkers back then too, & they were scientists?
Yes :) I wonder what they got payed for this :)
Super speedy chicken! Who knew, fabulous volcanos, an almost unspeakable language, and high speed chickens, Iceland. And of course, there’s the footage of the three or four intrepid explorers having what is known as a caldera shindig, eggs, vodka, and toast. Damn Icelanders know how to do some SERIOUS apocalyptic partying!
Takk fyrir thessu kvikmynd, ekki létt að finna frettir um gosin á Íslandi. Kveðjur frá Færeyum :)
Takk kærlega og bestu kveðjur til Færeyja :)
The big one.
But not the biggest one though, Bárðarbunga/Grímsvötn is worse....
Hope you are surviving your heatwave 😀
We expect a heat record this week :) perhaps over 25c...meaning that Icelanders will get crazy :) and thanks for visiting :)
Thank-you - a brilliant video from you, as always! I see a Monty Python clip on there. Are you a fan?
Yes I am, for a long time :)
@@JustIcelandic Me too :)
Too few trees above the knees not so cold for bumblebees.
