Even after all this time watching the volcano, it's still mind-blowing to realize this is very fluid molten ROCK flowing like water down the hill. Mesmerizing!
Let’s just suppose that the outer facing wall of that lava tube had a catastrophic failure, and all that lava that is hauling ass through the tube is now racing towards the lookee-loos that are STANDING RIGHT THERE. The height of the fountains, the flow rate of the lava, these have all been referred to as ‘insane’. I would challenge that summation, because the people are far more insane than the surrounding landscape.
What a fierce fast flow of boiling lava. Its fascinating to watch!! Its so beautiful and so dangerous !! Great video Nina. Take care & keep safe. Blessings to both of you.
I love your videos. I love the fact that your husband and you both share a passion for filming the volcano daily, when possible. Thank you for doing that and for sharing them with the world! 🖖😎
Wow! that is moving incredibly fast! see also how it's flowing in a tube like structure? It's an 'open air' lava tube! Because it's still open I guess we have to call it a 'channel' but you can see how a 'lava tube' is created. Very interesting video NinaNX.
Of all the videos I have seen of this volcano and lava flows, this video really puts the scale of things into perspective. Not only is the lava flowing incredibly fast as it reaches the edge of the hill and heads downhill, but the sheer size of the lava channel compared to the spectators in the foreground, I had no idea it was quite that large. Most drone footage I have seen doesn't have a way to measure the scale of the flows, but this video surely accomplished that. Thanks!
Nina, thanks so much for this - and for including people so we can see the absolute scale of this. The granduer, the power of nature is mindblowing. And humbling. We think WE caused climate change? Think again. We are but little pawns (who have probably made it a lot worse for ourselves), weak little ants compared to this. Thanks again to both of you for sharing your good fortune to witness this in person. Can't say it enough.
Thank you, for your amazing videos!! Very fast speed the lava going downhil!! It's the matter of time, when this valley is overflowed. Amazing and scary at the same time!
Thank you for starting at the source and following it through to where it has got to. In one continuous sequence. With the coast at the end as a reference. Well done.
Great..the final few seconds are super interesting, showing the small man-made lava dam, which is the only thing stopping destruction of the farm, road and other infrastructure near the coast.
I am amazed at the amount of lava this volcano has given up. How is this magma made beneath the earth's crust , will it end? So many questions will keep me addicted to these videos. I watch every day. This volcano seems to have permanently altered the whole landscape and eventually I'd like to see a Before & After videos. Thank you for your hard work and brilliant videos.
@Madd Lad: It’s very uncomfortable to watch people alongside a fast moving flow below the point where it travels down. I remember something from many years ago of a geologist (I think) fleeing from lava on a hillside. I think that was in Iceland too. 90% of tourists to the volcano now are not Icelanders and may not know it’s history well of past but recent lava flows. This event is not to be visited carelessly.
That huge crack with lava spewing out on the lower left side of the crater could really cause trouble for those tourists on the lower edges of the flow if the walls suddenly cave in during eruption. WE here can see it happen on You Tube but what would they on the lower slopes know?
Those people standing on the slope worry me. If that lava suddenly starts a separate path down hill I wonder if they'd be alert enough to get out of the way in time.
I would not like to be as close as these people to raging lava running down a very steep slope which has shown a tendency to move east little by little. Beautiful footage though!!
Oh wow it has matured into a full on proper looking long wide river.. maybe i will wait to visit as it is about to reach the sea ir maybe that will be when it is most visited ha
I can't help thinking: all those people should be thinking about their walk home? Because, if the lavaflow reaches the sea, they will have to walk and extra 15-20km to get back to Grindalvik.
I don't think it's a good idea for those people to get so close. There is molten lava uphill from their heads and it looks like it flows at about 40 mph. Lava is notorious for changing directions quickly
I think a good number of people are in an extremely dangerous position. If there is a lava breakout at the top then I fear a number of people may lose their lives.
I think you worry to much. The world right now is plagued with "what if" health and safety nutjobs. Let people enjoy themselves and take risks. If people are allowed to climb Mt Everest, dive in caves and so on...then people should be equally able to enjoy lava upclose. I know I would be close were I there.
I don't know the Icelandic Government's resources, but it's like the volcano has been "giving them a chance" over the past six weeks to build the biggest, thickest berm they can possibly manage, at the southern end of the Natthagi valley, to try and protect the optical cables and the road near the sea. I remember some years ago, a highway construction company in Ireland shipped in massive earth movers of a size we haven't got ourselves in the country, from somewhere in Europe, to complete a project.
I assume that the Icelandic Government is of the opinion that the volcano does what it does and the forces of nature are to be accepted and not influenced by humans.

From the mantle of the earth
freshly served from deep with in the earth's mantle
Nina, Thank you so much for allowing the rest of the world to see mother nature building more Iceland!
This is the most wonderful sight ever. This is our perfect planet doing what it does since the beginning of time.
Thanks Nina , stay safe and watch your steps. We appriciate your images.
Lave river eager to meet the Ocean.
Thanks for your efforts.
Keep yourself safe.
Beautifully hypnotic!
Thank you for recording all this. I send these videos to my grandkids so that they too can be amazed.

Thanks Nina impressive amount of lava and it does seem like the people are too close, hope they are all ok. Be careful out there

Nina....great job! Thank you for keeping us up to date on volcano and the flow!
Can't remember seeing it move as fast. Great shots thanks from southern California.
Thank you for starting at the source and following it through to where it has got to.
In one continuous sequence.
With the coast at the end as a reference.
Well done.
Great..the final few seconds are super interesting, showing the small man-made lava dam, which is the only thing stopping destruction of the farm, road and other infrastructure near the coast.
Thank you for risking your safety for us to be able to watch what is happening
Wow! Awesome video! Hope everyone stays safe! Thanks Nina!

Thank you for continuing your videos, the best on CZcams. Keep safe.
Great footage. I just can't get over people being that close when that could shift at any moment. Stay safe
I like that you put that this happened today and put the date. So many are posting old videos just to make money.
She and husband Roman a k a Gutn Tog always date the video. They made over 30 trips to the eruption site since March.
Just amazing the enormous size of this flow
It wouldn't take much for fast moving lava to overtake those people if something where to happen. Seems extremely careless! Stay safe out there 🙏
Wow!! Thats a lot of lava
And lots of people!
Thank you, Nina 💕
Amazing view from there!
Pretty work.
Good job🌋🌋🌋
Those people @1:35 must not realize how much danger they are in.
The police will probably freak out when they see that, lol.

If they don't, they should!
Nope... Less than 5 feet separates them from tons of molten rock and they have to run uphill to get away.
Thank you! Love the live sound rather than music. It’s everything! ❤️
Incredible amount of people visiting there
These people are literally playing with 🔥!😳
Excellent filming Nina!
That huge crack with lava spewing out on the lower left side of the crater could really cause trouble for those tourists on the lower edges of the flow if the walls suddenly cave in during eruption. WE here can see it happen on You Tube but what would they on the lower slopes know?
Those people that are close to it need to be careful as there is a possibility of a break out that could surround them!
I can't imagine the rush of being so close to that lava fall but those people obviously don't take the risks of the flow simply spraying them all.
Wow that's some fast moving lava !!
Those people standing on the slope worry me. If that lava suddenly starts a separate path down hill I wonder if they'd be alert enough to get out of the way in time.
It is a wild river of lava! What else can you say. Unbelievable.
I would not like to be as close as these people to raging lava running down a very steep slope which has shown a tendency to move east little by little. Beautiful footage though!!
Como um lamento em lagrimas quente da terra endurecida em que tempo não apaga...
Guess I wont capitalize on river rafting on those rapids…
Great Video, still at the kitchen table watching, Be Safe
Oh wow it has matured into a full on proper looking long wide river.. maybe i will wait to visit as it is about to reach the sea ir maybe that will be when it is most visited ha
INSANE SPEED! 😲
Youre beautifull! Thanks for posting!
I can't help thinking: all those people should be thinking about their walk home? Because, if the lavaflow reaches the sea, they will have to walk and extra 15-20km to get back to Grindalvik.
Sing:
"By the rivers of(the) la-ava,
where it flows down,
theyeyey stood, watching the volca-ano" ;-)
has it reached the berm yet?
fireproof kayak!!! Please!!!
How long might be this Lava River going to the ocean!?!. 👍🌋
INCREDIBLE footage! Instead of whitewater rapids, it's...orange lava rapids! ;)
Now you're talking Nina... Nature comes to the rescue against 5G🌹🌊
Gallons and gallons and gallons of hot gue its amazing
Hi ! At what time of the day was it ?
I don't think it's a good idea for those people to get so close. There is molten lava uphill from their heads and it looks like it flows at about 40 mph. Lava is notorious for changing directions quickly
Where is that?
they were all in love with dieing,
they were drinking from a fountain,
that was pouring like an avalanche coming down the mountain.
it gives good scale it shows the real size of the flow on that hill do not try to run it would catch you.
Why u went to the lave lack
hm nice video...very dangeroes...
damn you should zoom out get a wider picture of what's going on just this one little spot don't tell you much .... oh good at the end you did
Tá muito longe do oceano.
I think that the end of the valley may need bigger walls.
They must just leave the walls alone.
I think a good number of people are in an extremely dangerous position. If there is a lava breakout at the top then I fear a number of people may lose their lives.
I think you worry to much. The world right now is plagued with "what if" health and safety nutjobs. Let people enjoy themselves and take risks. If people are allowed to climb Mt Everest, dive in caves and so on...then people should be equally able to enjoy lava upclose. I know I would be close were I there.
Lol wall doesn't even have a bump.

I assume that the Icelandic Government is of the opinion that the volcano does what it does and the forces of nature are to be accepted and not influenced by humans.
Or at least move them out of the pathway.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Seeing the people for scale it just looks unbelievable.
Not intrested.
