RVK Newscast #92: The New Fissure And Its Long Lava Flow
Vložit
- čas přidán 6. 04. 2021
- Two new fiery cracks appeared in the earth on Monday, only 500 metres from Geldingadalsgos. The lava has now flowed to Merardalur, more than a kilometre away. But after we visited the area a third fissure also appeared.
The area close to Grindavík is changing rapidly; for example, the lava around the original eruption is now well over ten metres high. All of these eruptions are connected to the same volcanic system, and scientists say that there could even be more.

Valur, an excellent report. You've captured the size and scope of these volcanos in a way that no one else has. The speed of the volcanofalls and the mass of the lava flow is incredible. Great job by you and Art. Keep up the good work.
Many thanks.
@@TheReykjavikGrapevine, best footage/photography I have seen in 17 days!! Thank you!
@@TheReykjavikGrapevine Yes, it's really an outstanding coverage ot that volcano system there, many thanks!
Awesome report. I finally have some understanding of what is located where. Iceland is so unique. God bless you all.
Cinematography ; To tell a story, represent something, and make people feel something through videos.
Exactly what you guys are doing. ..Such good camera angles.
Thankyou.
Any hot liquid that glows from the inside is just hypnotic. I used to work in a molten aluminum plant and people forgot about safety and got mesmerised looking at the molten metal glowing often.
And aluminium is really tricky, because it does not even -- or it does hardly change the color when it is molten...
totally! when solids becoming easy flowing liquids it’s alchemical magic.
Metal turning to liquid is mesmerizing and magical. Who wouldn’t get hypnotized? 🤩
All your reports are fantastic. But this one is superfantastic! Great collaboration between Valur and Art, and editors. Love the variety of shots. Please be careful out there. A greeting to Polly too please, from our dog Golly and us in 🇨🇦.
Ha! I just looked a minute ago, and this video wasn't up, so I'm glad I kept looking! I've been stalking RVK Newscast since the new volcano opened up to hear some news on it! The live feed is constantly on in my house, and now I've got two to switch between! Cheers, Valur!
And mine too, here in Uk 😁
Hee hee me too live stream stays on all night full screen on my PC. Don't want to miss noticing like my shock the first thing UK UTC morning I met Flo! I was not awake for that much surprise! Been watching since 20th.
That was absolutely fascinating, the speed the lava is flowing is scary, not like the first volcano 🌄
It is CRAZY fast. I'm trying to imagine how fast I would have to be driving to outrun it, and it would be super high ...
Perfect example of why it's so dangerous to be at the site. The ground he walked on yesterday is the site of the overnight 3rd fissure eruption! I wonder if either of the team noticed anything while walking over the new fissure's position. Thanks for the best report yet on this eruption! But don't get so close again, please!
Wow they need to do a story about that!! Trace the path, show the new fissure!
Wow. You are the envy of the global press with your on the spot reporting of this event! Great shot of the flowing lava
Yes, I hope he gets a National Geographic documentary out of it, or at least a few pairs of new boots.
He actually reports "real news" unlike the global press!
Based on where you were walking around the original eruption, I would say you either walked across the new fissure or at least it's flow. Be careful out there, as there is also another spot where the ground has depressed a bit and that could be next.
don't think he walked over it. it looks more like he walked "behind" it from the side of Bobs valley, up the mountain, behind Flo and to the other side where it flows down.
Yeah he was west and north of the new fissure.
This is the best news coverage of this volcano on the internet. Valur and the camera person really convey the grandeur and fascination nature can create. +1 for swimming across the lava flow. I won’t believe any other explanation.
Our geologists here in Montana USA are calling the area where these volcanoes are forming a "rift valley." They are predicting the continuation of the type of volcanism we are seeing now, going into the future.
EDIT: Relative to the length of the lava falls, it's possible that Hawai'i with all its many volcanic eruptions has something to rival the falls in this video. Mt Etna is currently erupting. Its lava moves a lot slower, because it has a lot of silica in it. I don't know how far it is downhill to the sea, and no one has posted videos showing that (maybe it's too dangerous). Mt Pacaya in Equador is erupting, but there's no video of lava fall(s) there, either. If Mauna Loa goes, it's a shield volcano, basaltic lava like Meradalir and Geldingadalir, and that lava will flow with gravity following the path of least resistance to the sea, however far that is. These are interesting times, for sure!
RE-EDIT: When basaltic lava cools, it forms a shell over itself of black glass. When the lava is flowing slowly and is subject to more cooling away from its vent/volcano, you can hear that glass shell breaking as the lava flows. It sounds like glass breaking.
See youtube pointer in my post just above. Fissure 8 lava was moving at over 20 mph and was forming standing waves in the channel.
Thank you, very generous info. Read 10 new not continuing volcanos woke up last month. I am trying to learn theearthmasters feed mind blowing. I see Stanley is quivering. Don't know how to get relativity though. I'll stop back if you see this, What is best MT info site please? Me Boise Valley but long time SW UK
Etna when she puts out lava flows is faster then this due to the one mile drop right off the bat. Kilauea tends not to have lava falls through the fact that it's relatively flat but that said fissure 8 during the last eruption put out more quantity of lava in a day than the original cinder cone here could in a month. Her lava river was up to a half kilometer wide moving at up to 30 kilometers per hour.
Is Etna erupting more like an andesite, or basaltic andesite?
@@cacogenicist she's basaltic like Kilauea.
Very nice reporting. Thanks
Excellent volcano coverage. Please continue in safety.
Thanks for showing the lava field of Bob and the fissure eruption of Flo (as named on YT in the Viðburðastofa Vestfjarða) - you'll have to go back and take a look at SIF now too !!!
Great stuff thanks.
The heat haze from all that lava is insane, thanks for showing us this
River of Fire
Thank you 👍
Thanks - best overview yet.
Hello from Alberta, Canada! Very cool! Thank you for the updates!
One of your best video journalist reports so far. Well done!
What a wild and wondrous land. The land of my ancestors. Thank you so much for this great update!
Thanks for this clarification. Don't stomp too hard on the rocks, you may open another fissure. Hope the drone is fixed tomorrow but these images are epic already
Amazing footage - thanks so much
I am truly shocked by the amount of lava this second fissure emitted in such a short amount of time!
Very true... and it looked so innocent when it erupted... and without the lava directly around it, it is easy to underestimate it.
Fantastic. Thank you from England.
Wow that LAVA RIVER is INSANE! I wanna see it with my own eyes so badly!
Beautiful footage! Keep on bringing excellent content!
This is fascinating, but Valur, Art, please be careful on these trips out to the volcano. That 3rd fissure that opened up last night seems to be right where you were standing. Please don’t put yourselves in danger for our entertainment. We’re definitely not worth that!
Actually I am worth it !
Joking aside, please be careful, they are fantastic reports, your commentary and also the videography are both excellent. I was interested when you said they thought the new fissure would be closer to the original cinder cone, events since your visit have proved this correct of course with the 3rd fissure appearing a lot nearer . It makes you wonder where the next one will be. More NE again or to the SW of the original along the fissure line. All the best.
Omg so there is a 3rd fissure. Crikey Valur is lucky he didnt get the soles of his shoes burnt!!
The lava stream from the 3rd fissure seems to have swallowed one of the livestreaming cameras.
Valur and Art were considering hangliding over the volcanic field...yet he stopped to read the comment section, and decided not to, he would be extra careful instead. We need to keep reminding him to be careful, just in case he forgets🙄🤭
@Darth Wheazius the camera got taken out by the lava edge. There’s a photo of what’s left of it!
It's a lavafall! Amazing. Thanks for the updates!
When I visited Iceland I was so amazed with their many waterfalls. That new lavafalls is certainly another wonder. Amazing. Thank you for showing us this video. Love your channel
Amazing!!! Well done.
Hope no Huldufólk or hidden people homes have been impacted by the lava flow! We use to hike to the local cinder cones in the area in 1980. The lava fields are extremely rough, lava cuts up your boots and weather is ever changing. Thanks for bring back some fond memories!
Fabulous footage; really great shots from your videographer! 🌋👌
And great reporting, thank you. 😊👏 You have provided such a helpful and comprehensive overview of the geography and lava flow of the new volcano and its social/tourist implications. As well as its relationship with surrounding areas. I really appreciate your work. 🌋🌋🌋🙏💕
Living in north Texas 30 miles from Dallas....I love this incredible reporter! Great laughter and is so authentic!! Feel like I am right there!!! On tour!
Thanks Valur. Great reports!
Love the enthusiasm of the reporter.
Fantastic quality work. Probably the best video on the internet today. Watched it twice.
Tks for this update. Absolutely incredible
Yours is the first video where I could understand the distance between Southie and new volcano .. I think we watched it only days ago in its infancy and it has grown to be the big brother of Southie. I will watch for more updates and learn more about Iceland, thx from Flagstaff, AZ , USA !
Hello fra the Grand Canyon!
omg amazing thanks for this report was incredible to see the new eruptions this close!
Excellent coverage and wonderful film, thanks to the team.
Described just how we wanted it, well done Valur you have millions of new fans around the world.
As always, interesting and informative. Thank you.
Dear Valur and crew, greetings from Australia! Thank you for yet another great installment! We love your work, look forward to each new report. Blessings!
Hello Valur , thank you for your and your camera mans reporting, its always fantastic! since you posted this i hear yet another Fissure has opened!? So you have to get your walking boots back on ;-)
Rule number one for this year: After the eruption is before the eruption ;-)
Or should I say "after the recording of an eruption is before the new eruption comes out" ;-)
Hello from California. This is so freaking cool. Thanks for what you do.
Thank you, and our pleasure.
Thank you for this great footage and commentary, best yet!!
Thank you for the info. Stay safe.
More information without the drone. Wonderful footage on foot. Even without Polly; glad she is safe at home. Thank you for your uploads
amazing camera work. i didn’t even miss the drone or notice a lack of aerial photos until you mentioned it. informative, fascinating reporting. thanks for hiking miles each time to produce these segments. bring back polly as soon as it’s safe!
This is super! Thanks to you and Art for taking us there. Hard to believe that tall cone is only 48 hours old -the amount and speed of the lava flow is amazing. It is nice to see a volcano that is not destructive to people and their homes. I live just south of Mount Saint Helens and when she erupted 40 years ago, it was quite a destructive event. Thanks also for your cautionary words about being safe around the volcano. I only wish I could visit right now.
WOW! Seeing that second huge come emerge behind the old one is quite spectacular!
Also 9:50 How did you get accross the flowing lava??!!
I can’t believe the evolution of this volcanic landscape. This video in particular is stunning with the lava river.
Another great update Valur.. liked the swift exit, wouldn't want you to be the first casualty, having just referenced there having been none! Think that the drone bit you were finding the word for was the prop (aka propeller). Hopefully you'll have it up and flying again soon to add to the footage you've capture today of that fab
This is going to be regarded as the best flow in history to watch. At night it must be incredible. Every meter is unique in its flow
Valur - Greetings from California. We watched a live stream of the East Rift Zone eruption in Hawaii for weeks but your coverage of this Icelandic event is top-notch. We don't catch every word and the place names are challenging for English speakers but your fascination, even giddiness, at nature's marvels is infectious. Please get that drone up in the air again because only Spielberg can do disaster footage better.
if it wasn't for covid, i would have already bought plane tickets to experience this nature with my own eyes.
stay safe and enjoy the view!
Amazing to watch the Earth grow before our eyes.
I appreciated your commitment to report on this and the effort it involves.
Great coverage of the new volcano. You have better information than any news outlet here in the USA. Far better!!
Nice one, Valur - I've been looking forward to this since your late newsflash on the previous video.
Thank you for a brilliant report, at last we have professionals helping us understand the whole thing.
Greetings from Western, N.Y. Thanks for the new footage. It is amazing how fast it is moving from how it was in slow motion before. Stay safe my friend. I am glad you left Polly at home and played it safe for her, as we sure do like her.
lol hello new york state i am here in albany near you! this volcano is more entertaining than anything in Upstate :)
The best view I’ve seen of the new fissure yet, well done for getting so close in a safe way!
Thanks for taking us along on your hike around the volcano....amazing repot and filming
We love this content!!! Please continue !
Hi Valur, that is absolutely stunning, I have never seen anything like this in my life, wow. Thank you for sharing, much love. xx 💖
That was awesome...thanks you two. I"m watching this after the 3rd one opened and wondered how the heck you got to the other side of the lavafalls... but i know now that it had not opened yet...good thing you left!!!
Aloha Complicated it is Like Our eruption on Big Island Hawaii
Awesome Reporting detailed discription Bless your ❤️ and your family all of Iceland's Beautiful People
Amazing how fast they grow!
Get an infrared camera up there. Maybe a new fissure will give itself away before it opens up. Historic footage of the very beginning of an eruption.
Amazing to see how the volcano has formed and the lava river has developed.
By the time this video was uploaded all of this is outdated. The internet has different names for these fissures. The old one 1:40 is named Bob(Basically only Basalt) and the fissure 3:07 is called Flo. Midnight Icelandic time a newer fissure opened called Sif(Sudden Icelandic Fissure) right in-between the two shown. A fourth one is predicted on the far side of Flo.
I work in news. This is stunning reportage, the fluent commentary, the camera angles, the obvious risk. And that's an award-winning sign-off: "Goodbye!" (Waves, dons gas mask, walks quickly off camera to avoid being poisoned in the line of duty). Well done.
Love your commentary about the liquid rock river filling in the low points around the volcanic systems.
Wow!!! That is hands down the best footage I’ve seen.
fantastic reporting ...better to leave Polly at home today!
Awesome great job! A man-o-man up to the moment up date on this new volcano you're doing a great job! We're watching from Missouri USA! :-)
Amazing footage, thank you so much for making this, please be careful and give Polly a pat 😃
America loves this guy!
Wow, what a great insigt into the vulcano system there! Thank you very much!
At 5:20 we can see the lava "waterfall" (no, the lavafall ;-) flowing out of the new volcano in the background on the left base of the volcano into the lava "river"... wow... and at 8:40 again...
And at 6:36 you can see the place where the lava flow later split up into a second path which would be a bit more in the background, flowing around that last small hill before the final valley for now. So if someone was on that last hill, he would have had no chance to come out other than with a helicopter. Oh, you were standing there at that exact hill at 9:50, maybe you were just around the point where the lava flow split in two flows later that day ;-)
And that's why the area is closed for the general public, because if there are hundreds of people watching the volcano and another fissure would open up behind them or another lava flow would flow down somewhere behind them, they would be trapped. And now try to evacuate hundreds of people from there. It is not possible to improvise a bridge over a lava flow, it would melt and burn. But with just a few people between two lava flows, it's still possible (but expensive) to evacuate them with a helicopter.
Oh and 12:30 looks like there must be magma not very far below the old surface - or is it already a subsurface lava flow at that point... anyway, it's really fascinating!
Thank you for showing this to us!
Another amazing update, thank you so much for bringing this to us.
Its Amazing to see the changes in 2 weeks and then the new on in days.. Thank u soo much for update!
13:41 An adult female horse is in fact also called 'mare' in English, so the name can very well be translated as Mare Valley. 🐴
And there are 'mares-tail' Clouds
Just shows how bad Valur is at english.
@@MrKorton Yet he surprises with words like Suffice
Superb pictures. Such high definition. Thanks.
Thank you for the tour. I actually enjoyed this more than drone footage as it helped me grasp the scale of things better.
Anywhere else you’d need a hundred million dollars and a team of computer artists working night and day for months to produce something looking half as awesome.
In Iceland, this is just another Wednesday.
As for lava flows, Piton de la Fournaise on Réunion in the Indian Ocean is also producing very long, fast-moving lava flows, but I think your new flow is even bigger.
Stay safe Valur and thank-you for sharing this extraordinary sight. Yes I’m still jealous you can get so close to the volcano.
You a doing an amazing Job covering this eruption. Thank you so much for hiking there regularly and getting such wonderful pictures!
Absolutely incredible, please be careful, love the updates and directionals.
Valur, I love your reports! Not only are they full of facts and information, but you share your own reactions and emotions with us in a way that is remarkably humble and very real! It makes me feel like you are a friend!
Watching in Australia 🇦🇺
Loving your channel and thanks for the updates,
Cheers and stay safe
More excellent coverage from ReykjaGreypas Newscast
Valur, Thank you for such amazing reports. I found your channel right before the first eruption occurred and quickly subscribed. Please don’t put yourself at risk, though. I’ve been learning about Iceland through your channel and look forward to Your next report.
From Arizona, U.S.A - We Love Polly !!! 🐶👍🏼 🌋
That lava river is one of the neatest things I've ever seen. From the aerial shots that I've seen, the river looks quite narrow, I'm wondering just how deep it is and if it'll leave behind lava tubes after the fissure dries up.
I cannot believe what I am seeing! All this within 30 hours or so!
Art & Valur, another fantastic video! Thank you for risking your lives to bring us close to this phenomenal event.
Thanks to you and your photographer for bringing us this coverage. Please be careful as you work.
Wow!!! Was frightened for you!!! Incredible footage, please take care.
Watching from Canada. LOVE your reports - they're the best! Thank you!
