- When we arrived at the volcano late on Sunday, we found out that the path to the mountain next to the volcano was about to be closed off due to lava overflow (!!!) In this edition of the Reykjavík Newscast, we discuss this, the brush fires, and also speak to Heidi, a reporter from the New Yorker. This and more.

Thank you Valur and Art! Yes it is very soothing to watch. I've been watching it before I go to sleep because of how soothing it is. Hopefully you get your picture in The New Yorker! Great newscast!
"wherever two or more people are gathered together, someone will be trying to sell them a suspicious sausage in a bun"
It does my heart good to hear that there is indeed a food truck.
I was there yesterday (ran into Valur while I was on my way down actually!), and getting the hot dog at the end of the hike truly felt like the ultimate gift from God.
C.M O T Throat, proprietor.😁
Cool you got to meet Valur. Also, Icelandic hot dogs are no joke. They're so good that I can hardly enjoy american hot dogs anymore... unless i really doctor them up to taste closer to the ones I had in downtown Reykjavík.
Sounds like you are a Terry Prachett fan.
@@user-zf2xb4xv9d ultimate gift from God.
A hotdog
Such horrifying low standards
I hope she also writes about you in the New Yorker! You deserve the attention! Thanks for showing us these amazing views
Attention, yes, but the New Yorker is such a political rag, now. The New Yorker's attention is much devalued since they all went nuts. Updike is rotating in his grave. Pretty sure there are other magazines better suited to covering a volcano.
Can we just keep it a secret between us?
I didn't know but do enjoy the footage you've been showing. Thank you. ❤️🌋❤️🌋❤️🌎❤️
This volcano has changed so much over the weeks since it first appeared. It is going to be interesting to see what it has in store for us in the future. Hello from Queensland Australia 🇦🇺❤️👍🏼🙋♀️
It is scary. A monster.
@@asbisi NO! it's a mother! she oozes her benevolence and threatens no one, no explosive outbursts that throw 10's of 1,000s of hot rocks into the air or overwhelming amounts of toxic gasses or ash that could kill any who are in it's path. This volcano deserves to be called, as the Icelandic ppl. do a 'tourist volcano' You can get w/in ft. of it's lava field and NOT be in danger, as long as you know that a lump of a few tons could just roll off the edge because the lava is constantly pushing the edges outwards.
This volcano is simply raising the levels of the lower valleys, it as yet barely is a threat to any settlements altho if it does go on for another 2-300 yrs then that will definately change, but NOTHING is happening so fast that they cannot deal with it. It's just NOT that kind of volcano, that's what is so brilliant about it, we can get up 'close and personal' with mother Earth and she don't bite! She's just creating land.
@@johnzuijdveld9585 yes John, I totally agree. It’s an honour to see the creation of new land that will be there in another million years. And to think, hey! We predate that...man walked under that lava flow. Wow!
@@nolasmith7687Yes we s . . . hang on I mean they should've put a cement message in the ground before the eruptions got too advanced, saying s/thing like "Olaf was e're!" 🤭 Then in 100's of yrs or so archaeologists could find it and wonder! 🤔
It is a bit sad tho' they used to call it 'The beautiful Valley' in Icelandic of cause! But what to call it now?
This is the 1st. volcano I've managed to watch it's progression from day 1 ! from a small fissure that grew and spawned 2 more just nearby just like a mum and her to kids but the 2 kids outgrew her. . . . . and then about 1k away another fissure opened that was actually about 5 or 6 fissures, that 1 pored out so much magma and yet it also died down when the last one . . (so far!) was born which is what we see now, I've read some say that the outpourings are not so great in volume put this seems pretty prolific to me. 😲
It's been a 'rip roaring adventure' for me even if only from my comp. at home, I'd been following RKV. for a month as he showed us the capital and surrounds but he warned that they were expecting s/thing like this so even that was exciting to follow! 😮
Hi there from chilly Adel. ☹
Art, this is meant in the best possible way, and you have most probably heard it many, many times. But you truly live up to your name, your footage is pure art!
Soon you won't have to climb the treacherous mountain path to get to the video. You will only have to walk on this new, flat path. (Assuming you wait for a few thousand years for the lava beneath it to cool down!)
@@demef758 : I don't know how long it'll take to cool down, but I think you're very close to the timeline. I know this video is 10 months ago, but is that volcano still erupting in April 2022?
I really enjoy your human style of reporting.
Wish more were as relaxed as you.
I remember Mt St Halen eruption vividly. It was so monumental and so well covered that I still remember or half flash back memories when I see old coverage.
This volcano is very different… but it is beautiful and so well covered. I knew almost nothing about Iceland. Now I know a lot thanks to this eruption.
Glad i was able to see the Volcano this past week before they closed off the path....Truly an amazing sight!!!
I hadn't seen any video showing the upwelling lava like that, now I completely understand why the path to spectator hill has been closed off. It looks as though the saddle could be covered in a couple of minutes if the lava welled up close to the edge.
So happy we were on the closed hill just 2 weeks ago!
Thank you so much Art and Valur for these news and images!
Another brilliant report. It seems strange, still, to hear a report that includes so much of the emotion of being there. A most welcome kind of strange.
Thanks to Art for yet more wonderful footage.
I'm learning these names (hard to understand them when spoken). Valur and Art. I find Art's videography to be stunningly good. It's the main reason I tune in. Valur's English is also superb, not to mention his great sense of humor, such as "the volcano is a slaughterhouse for drones."
I always look forward to your broadcasts from the volcano, great work.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for doing these amazing reports, so the rest of the world can see! WE SO APPRECIATE IT. Hello from Joshua Tree, CA, USA!
Valur, you are wearing my favorite sweater! I love the design and the two natural colors. We are coming to visit for a week in October and it would be great if the volcano was still active! If not, you have given us lots of ideas of things to do. We’re really looking forward to our visit. The closing shots of this video are awesome.
As for the calming effect, it’s like ASMR. We get that effect even watching it on video.
Heidi, your hat rocks!
Thank you for another superb report. Art's photography is by far the best of any of the channels covering the volcano. Long may you continue Sir
I love your videos! You give a great panoramic view, along with the closeups, to really see what is happening. I enjoy hearing the knowledge you have about region and volcanoes.
That pan at 16:11 is spacTACular! Good workmanship!!
Yes! That is truly magnificent and terrifying and mesmerizing and.... inner-worldly.
Like me, many others have taken note of "Art's" magnificent video work. Kudos to him!
I agree. Excellent skills. Crisp audio as well. If I may ask, what kind of camera is being used out there?
Thanks for the update it really makes my day man
I love spending my minutes on this
Your footage from @16:00 to @16:19 is absolute video gold!
I just watched a documentary on Hawaii volcano. They are selling theirs as worlds most accessible lava field. It seems Hawaii can hold Iceland’s beer for a while ? Thanks again for real time news 🙏🇨🇦
No idea why anyone would dislike the videos, they are great and 100% appreciated, much love from the UK.
Term for what's threatening the saddle necessary to reach the old observation mountain? Perched pond. Lava pools in areas surrounded by levees. Then either it overflows those levees or they breach and suddenly a voluminous, fast flow heads away from the perched pond. It's particularly dangerous if the levees breach as that releases a lot more of the lava volume in the perched pond.
So the precaution of closing the old observation mountain is very necessary. The term for what the old observation mountain will likely become is kipuka. Kipuka is a Hawaiian language term for an uncovered area completely surrounded by lava.
Thanks for the info, very helpful.
Do you know where is lava that is filling the search pond is coming from?
There is no lava feeding from the big lava vent. Is it coming from one of the original lava vents which is now covered by the lava from the crater that is still erupting?
@@thisisme8666 I would certainly defer to Mr. Newton on this, but it's my understanding that while most of this new lava field looks cold and passive, it is only a shallow layer of cooled lava. Underneath is a giant white hot lava pool, 100 meters deep. It is everywhere, fed by "Bob's" endless eruptions. It is evident in the beautiful footage that closes the video, starting at 13:52.
@@demef758 yeah. I'm deeply concerned this is a bigger problem than what people my imagine. At least their is relieve in knowing that some of the pressure underneath is escaping.
@@thisisme8666 "There is no lava feeding from the big lava vent."
Oh yes there is. The vast majority of that lava field is still liquid. It will take a very, very long time for it to cool. For example consider the lava erupted as part of Kilauea Iki in 1959: material was still liquid from that decades afterwards. Drilling was done in the 1980s if I recall correctly and liquid material from that eruption was found as they drilled down.
This eruption's material is not as deep as that got yet, but it's not too far off in some places. It will take until past 2050 for parts of this eruption's material to cool off even if it stops now.
My poor phrasing. What I meant to say was there is no visible lava flowing from the current visible active cone/vent, as the majority of that lava seems to be following the main lava stream. However, the pond is still growing, with new molten lava visibly seeping through to the surface.
Just wondering where that lava is coming from.
I could watch the volcano all day, especially with all that sun! 🌞
Amazing changes! Thank you, Valur & Art!!! 💜🇮🇸🌋✌️😸
Surrounded by Lava and no exit? No problem: Gandalf will send the Eagles.
That would be horrifying really. Trapped by lava, no way out, and knowing it is just a matter of time before you are consumed by it...
Just what I was going to say🙂
What if you identify as an Apache attack helicopter
Or a helicopter...
My thought exactly: "the Eagles are coming!"
00:25
Look how far they have to be now.
And, WHO PUT THAT HILL THERE?!!?!
What you see at the end and which amazed you is called crustal resurfacing. That can occur in lava lake with fluid lava but also in the context of lava pond on a lava field.
Incredible!!! The Ever Changing Volcano is Truly Mesmerizing. I agree with the reporter from New York. I hope she does mention The Great Reporting and Video that Valur and Art have been doing. May people, listen and heed the warnings placed, blocking the now-former path. I’m waiting for my passport to arrive, so I can travel to Iceland and see the Volcano.
Great Report and Outstanding Video, as Always. Thank You Valur and Art for all that you do and for this latest update.
… and Hello to Polly, 🐶👋🌋
More amazing footage. The videographer, Atta (sp?) is so good at his job. You continue to have the best footage on the volcano, and as always, love the channel. Big fan! Thanks!
Great video as always👍
Thanks again Valur and Art, Great video. The lava waterfall is stupendous - a huge volume in cubic metres/second. I presume it flows in tunnels under the lava sheet and is popping up in those pools at the edges.
😭 So gutted that the best viewing area is gone. If I make it thru all the hoops to get there in a few weeks I hope its still a good view. So jealous of people who got to see it in early stages!
Thanks for the VLOGS. This is so fascinating!
Thank you once again! Much love from Oklahoma 💞. Brenda
I’m happy to hear someone may agree with me..have mentioned that the eruptions seem to be stronger at night & always get shot down. Thanks for your interesting news show! Wish it was more often! Hi! to Heidi from the US!
Amazing! Wonderful coverage and footage of this volcano!
14:05 was like an ocean wave of lava. Spectacular.
That was a beautiful description from the New Yorker reporter! And it might explain why I watched this every day for over two months now. The time of mother earth is shining through the screen.
Thanks for the report.
About the increase of the activity at night. I noticed similar activity changes at other vulcanoes like Fuego or Etna. There must be some research on that. Now I'm really curious! I have to look it up! If I find something, I'm going to inform you all. XD
That was not the side I thought would fill in first - but turning our favorite viewpoint into an island is a great loss. So glad we made the trips up when we could!
Us too!!
Watched many videos of you. Finally subscribed :D top commentary and top editing. I guess It's the best impression you can get in the internet of this volcano.
I've noticed the calming effect of the volcano through the videos, too. I think the sound is also calming. Wow - the footage at the end with the sunset glow in the sky is just as breathtaking as the night shots!
Great report and those shots of the lava at the end were really amazing! I grabbed a few screenshots to use as my desktop wallpaper 😉 !!
Glad to see I'm not the only only one!!! 😸💜🌋🇮🇸
I’ve got volcano screen shots for my backgrounds in addition to my pics of dormant North American volcanoes.
Fantastic as usual. Valur and Art: great job!!!
Such grandeur to this landscape. Magnificent and mesmerising.
Great video.
Brilliant report as usual. Will it ever stop erupting I wonder. Thank you for my sample of lava I had in the chocolate ordered from your shop.
I've wondered if it will ever calm down since reading that the flow is coming directly from the Earth's magma source, not from chambers. I'm also curious about what the effect of displacement is - if matter from inside the planet ends up on top what happens, if anything?
@@misc.endeavours8343 I suspect that the magma in the centre of the planet is constantly being renewed by the subduction process, it has to come out some where.
@@philadams964
Thank you for explaining that - I was beginning to imagine the Earth becoming drained and hollow with a very thickened outer layer in random areas and whatever peculiarities that might lead to!
@@philadams964 I'm guessing that it would be fed by the crust being recycled along the Pacific rim for example. It's a continuous process, which has been active for billions of years. :)
This is my favorite source for accurate and timely information about the volcano. The reporting and photography/videography are outstanding.
I live in an area surrounded by >currently< semi-dormant volcanos and calderas. Mt. St. Helens was only a three hour drive away. Yellowstone is eight hours away by car.
Thank You for your coverage and insight. The photojournalism is most appreciated.
Again, just amazing Nature! 😎🌋
Par excellence for reporting!
Thank you for this ongoing coverage, I am happy to support the Hi Five. I will be there today in 2 weeks, so awesome. We’ll see what we will see!
I so appreciate that you provide such extensive footage of the volcano without music. Much more real and special to just hear the natural sounds of the area, while looking at the footage, rather than annoying music over the footage.
Great shots as usual: good close-ups of the pillow lava. Also like the sweater: I had one similar purchased in 2008, which was particularly warm. But recently was dismayed to find it had been shredded by textile moths. Icelandic wool must be tastier than most.
Unlucky, I've got an Icelandic sweater which my parents bought for me 45 years ago, no moth damage - you made me go and check!
I have a feeling of calmness when watching footage from the volcano too in a way we are listening to the earths heartbeat and maybe our own hearts are beating in sync with the earths and it is centering our own inner core a bit hippy trippy I know but it's worth thinking about 🌋🌏
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
And I keep saying it..no one shows off the situation with the volcano as well as this channel. Graphics or just being informative. It's just a joy watching.
I love this volcano's ever changing ways, so mesmerising, while full of surprises.
damn those smood lava pools, remember me of last summer when I rode my bicycle over the F910 west of Askia there is a lava field very old but like 60km wide with a road going over it, just think when this field is hard and old take you 4x4 over it :D
I went just as fast on my bicycle as the 4x4 jeeps/campers
greetings from the Netherlands :D
I was surprised at how calming it is to watch the volcano. It's nice to find out I'm not the only one.
I really look forward to these updates. Your guest has an interesting observation today. Watching the volcano do its thing forces you to slow down and adapt to its time. Just a tiny hint of geologic time.
Great reporting, keep it going.
From Montana, USA
It's incredible to see lava moving like this so far away from the crater. With the eruptions continuing, the crater will only get larger, as will the mound that's building up where the lava flows out from the crater. I'm sure this will slow the flow down slightly but it's still coming from a huge source. Thanks again, Kris.🇦🇺🥰
Watching the birth of new land while more of the old stuff gets eaten up in the subduction zone! What a process to witness! Thank you for your video's!
The opening looks like a scene from a movie. Well done. Maybe someone's making a film soon. Meanwhile we have your channel! Have a great day.
I suspect there are people there filming for the movie industry to get footage for future use if they ever need it. I mean come on! Where will they ever find something like this that looks so unreal?
Thanks for mentioning your store! So many cool looking things, I couldn't even finish looking at everything in one sitting!
Iceland:
If you don't like the view, wait a bit and it'll change.
I am so grateful I had the chance to see it from the closed mountain 😭
Wow, how the landscape has changed, give it another month at this rate it will morph into something quite different, nature ar it's best and worst, stay safe all,❤ from Wales.
Great job, Valur and Art. FINALLY getting some foreign coverage on this. Mesmerizing...
6:45 That is some incredible timing.
the sound that is coming from the volcano and the slow moving lava is simply amazing!
That lava fountain is insane! Impressive, even from a greater distance.
I will say this to the camera man, good job. No excessive zooming or excessive panning. Great stable shots. I can't tell you how much that aggravates me trying to watch videos of the eruption from some of the amateurs posting videos.
Same here. You can tell that Art is using professional gear, including a large, stable tripod. But most of all, he's a pro, and it shows.
hope you keep these updates going. .JUST .FANTASTIC
I would love to see this. Keep posting your video.
Hello from Philly. Love these newcasts. Been watching since it started. Amazing how much it changes from day to day, I do miss polly.
We were just in Reykjavik this week and after 'ein með öllu' from the Bæjarins Bestu pylsur stand, we popped up to the Grapevine office nearby and MET POLLÝ!!!! She's adorable, it was a real highlight of the trip 😍🐶
@@OneFootInIceland I was saying the other day all of our local newscasts should be done with a dog like that. ;)
Wow thank you guys for the update. It seems to change every few hours. 😯 can you get access to a map showing the lava flow? In the valleys. Stay safe xx
Fantastic footage as usual 👏🏻👏🏻😃😍
The English term is "foundering" or crustal overturning where highly fluid lava pops through and drowns sections of crust
I was looking for the right ✅ word, thank you!
Thank you.
And the lava is pouring over a "saddle" between two higher areas of a ridge.
@@meikala2114 Not yet it isn't.
I'm an English-speaker but even *I* did not know that term. Thank you for expanding my vocabulary today!
This reminds me of the first time I experienced seeing lava in Hawaii. The shapes and texture of the solidifying lava was just like this and we were able to walk right up to the molten lava which resembled molasses as it flowed.
its cool to see the volcano fill up the vally and make all the hills around in to one big mountain
Your messages are very interesting and helpful and I am always looking forward to what's new. Thank you very much.
It’s is definitely mesmerizing
The soothing effect can be perhaps be explained in different ways
It is truly an awesome sight in that it generates a sense of awe - this has a positive effect on the immune system and our psychology
Also, it is a powerful example of the forces of nature and how we are subject to them
It’s a reminder of our insignificance in the grand scheme of things - humbling actually
And the fascination of witnessing something that has been happening since the dawn of time on our planet 🌎🌋
Thank you for bringing this to those of us who are unable to travel there
Love your description and explanation! 💚🌎🌋🇮🇸✌️😸
Superb coverage!
Living, breathing earth. Fabulous!
Ive been watching these since he was driving out to a tiny smokey fissure and little hillock and sitting there in a lawn chair and talking history about the volcanoes and now there is a mountain! Its mind blowing that this place has changed so much over the past couple months.
The biggest shock was when it went from the one first vent to suddenly the ground was blowing up and then there was several vents in a row and just ridiculous torrents of lava blasting up out of the ground and making cascades and rivers of lava pouring down hills and filling valleys in just couple of days.
It was amazing and a privilege to be able to see this volcano develop and change so much to where it is becoming a real mountain in just a few weeks! Lol astounding work. Thanks for all your work.
Thank you for all your updates. Stay safe
Holy crap. that volcano is nuts! I remember when the first crater opened back in March and there was a clip of the side wall collapsing and little lava river flowing out, I was like Wow, COOL! But look at what it has become!
amazing pictures!
Always look forward to your reports... interesting, informative...just great! 🌸
I could listen to you speak forever
My husband and i love your relaxed being yourself style! You make watching news fun again! American reporters should take note and take a chance of just being themselves and have fun with the work! Thank you! We look forward to watching your reports!
Couple of observations: what was once a spatter cone that was prone to sudden collapse of its walls, has now become a truly formidable volcano. It’s been fascinating to watch its transformation. Secondly, once the lava crosses the path it will run rapidly into Meradalir and overtop the barrier. Which will of course mean that the volume of lava flowing towards the sea will increase significantly. Judging from this footage and the massive upwellling of lava in Geldingalir, I’m guessing that could happen as soon as tomorrow. Not in weeks but in hours!
"Splatter cone." I'm learning new phrases. I've notice how these cones are built up as well, and it strikes me that it is akin to making a mound out of loose gravel. The cone's structure has to be very weak, subject to collapse if jostled just the right way by the volcano. Imagine what will happen if one of these walls collapses now, with lava being pushed almost to the top of the opening of the cone. Yikes!
It is Winter months where i live and this lava always makes me feel warm just watching. They should rename the whole area lava lake or lava sea, it just keeps on giving. Praise God for his creation.
Thanks for the updates. So educational . Thanks for taking us somewhere we will never be able to see, this window into history.
Top quality report btw. Refreshing, in this age of "fake news". I was getting tired of the usual "news" channels and their constant over zealous dramatisation of the news. Art keeps is REAL!
I remember in the beginning how nobody thought this would even fill up the first valley, much less the 2nd or the 3rd. Now it's almost engulfed the observation hill and could cut off the road. If so, let's hope it makes it to the ocean, that would be quite a sight!
It's starting to remind me of the Devils blow hole or Thors Hole on the coast of Oregon. The pressure of the water forced into a hole in the rocks. It's so fluid and beautiful.
Lava flows are mesmerizing for sure!
Wow! Incredible. Looking forward to article in NYer!
Thank you for more amazing updates.
