- Welcome to an extra-special episode of RVK Newscast, coming to you today from inside an ice cave in Langjökull glacier! Editor-in-chief Valur Grettisson visited the ice cave to discuss the latest in Icelandic news… as well as attend a wedding!
Alda Music, which owns the rights to the majority of Icelandic music, has been sold to Universal Music/Ingrooves Music Group. This means that Universal, which is the largest music label in the world, now hold the rights to 80% of all recorded Icelandic music.
Coronavirus figures continue to be at record levels in Iceland, with 1,558 domestic cases recorded on Monday 24th of January. The majority of these cases are of the omicron variant and relatively few people are becoming very sick when infected. As a result there is discussion around lessoning restrictions soon. Read our latest Covid reporting here: grapevine.is/n...
And finally, we explore Amazing Crystal Ice Cave on the east side of Langjökull Glacier. We’re very grateful to our Amazing guides who took great care of us and made the whole trip possible. Want to see this once-in-a-lifetime ice cave for yourself? Book a trip with Amazing Tours here:

Fantastic as always thanks Valur
You're welcome!
Valur and Josie Ann, you go to tremendous lengths to keep us entertained! This was awesome! I have actually been in an ice cave in Washington state, but of course it was not as large as this one. What an adventure just to get there! Great videography, by the way, in rather extreme conditions.❤️❄️
Thank you! Really glad you enjoyed it.
Valur, it is wonderful and fantastic that you and your team produce the newscast from different places and showing the viewers the unique Icelandic environment. A sincere thank you.
We're glad you enjoy it, Charles
Fire fountains to ice caves, Iceland is a wonderful place. Thanks for the tour. Polly looks quite happy digging just for fun in so much clean snow.
Thank you for another great video!
Polly is doing a fine job too!
Congratulations on reaching almost 60K subscribers! We’ve watched the numbers climb steadily and it is certainly well deserved!
👏🏻👍🏻🙏
Greetings from a stinking hot Melbourne Australia. I feel totally chilled-out now! Thanks to the whole team for taking us all on this amazing adventure!
Wow amazing. Wonderful to see the ice cave. What special to merry in an ice cave.
That cave is seriously amazing! Value, and Josie, I’m so glad you brought us along on this trip :-). The bride and groom are quite interesting, too. They’re going to have a very unique wedding album…
*Valur* !!
A great video. I think I would be scared in a ice cave. Great job Josie. Lots of happiness for the married couple.
They have set them a very high bar for their future experiences. What a magical way to start a journey together. Excellent video yet again and Josie is a very good stand-in for the inimitable Art.
We always enjoy the unique settings of your newscasts, but you've truly outdone yourselves this time. Superb situation and camera work. BTW, I did not read the episode title before watching, so the wedding was a great surprise.
Thank you so much for taking us along, the ice cave looks glorious and the bride was just beautiful!
One for the Grapevine Elves: How famous is Polly in Iceland? Has the rest of the Icelandic media picked up on the black and white Internet sensation that is our favourite morale officer?
Surprisingly not!
@@TheReykjavikGrapevine We have to fix this! Who do we lobby at RUV to get Polly and Valur better known to Icelanders?
Stunning video! Thankyou Valur and Josie. And the young couple who celebratied their wedding in this spectacular location. You Grapevine guys have surpassed yourselves Possibly my favourite newscast to date. Excellent camera work Josie! Valur, you really rock!.
Thank you Valuri for such unique memories for us and for the young pair.🌷 Excellent video. Hi to you Valuri and Polly.
Loving Valur's Mohawk at around the 5.52 mark.
Such a great story of life and newscast. Polly and the couple getting married made my day. Thank you for doing what you do.
So amazing, just beautiful beautiful beautiful...Iceland
Wow, that was very cool, both figuratively and literally! Excellent reporting and great camera work by Josie under those difficult conditions. ❤
Thanks Peter!
Thank you RG for bring this beautiful event. congratulations to the newly wed couple. Looks fantastic the ice cave. So unique.
Wow! Thank you for taking us there!! So beautiful, ASTOUNDING!! We oldies could never go there! Is Josie the camera person in the cave? You are all so brave!
Wonderful wedding! Thanks again!🙋🇨🇦
Thanks Ellen! Yes Josie filmed this video.
Good day, Ellen. Glad to see you’re still tuning in. I watch more Icelandic news than Canadian these days! Keep safe! 🇨🇦 🖖 🇨🇦 😸
@@Momcat_maggiefelinefan hiya Linda, good to see you here too. That ice cave is so awesome! Beautiful! So glad they went there. If you want to see us (Jim and I) silly old fogies, we on the monthly AMA . 😝 th-cam.com/video/zU_8b_ElsD8/w-d-xo.html
Wonderful adventure finished off with a beautiful and so special wedding! Congrats to the lovely 💑
Wow, what a wonderful place! I'd really want to go there some day. Thanks for sharing this! Perhaps we'll get to know, how your return trip went - I guess that it might have been harder than coming to that cave.
That was amazing. Going to Iceland in 2 weeks and visiting the Ice Cave at Katla. Can't wait now having witnessed this. Brilliant videography from Josie and as always Valur you go to extraordinary lengths to entertain us all. Well Done.
Take photos!
Polly is a legend... Nothing ever deters her happy spirit
Takk fyrir for another interesting, visually stunning & entertaining post, Valur! Much happiness to the newlyweds.
Beautiful couple extreme happines to them both buuur
A fantastic place in a equally fantastic country! It would have been really interesting to know how old the ice in that cave is.
As always, a wonderful newscast, Valur. And thanks Josie. We never miss a newscast. Fabulous cave... congratulations to the bride and groom. We are looking forward to our 5th visit to Iceland this summer and our walking tour with Valur and Polly!
One thing that pulled my attention was that the walls of this cave are totally covered in crazy and capricious ice figures. Is there a river or some water course at the bottom of the cave?
Wasn’t the bride a little cold (I mean, in that light dress…)?
Congrats to the newlyweds!!! 👰🏻♀️🤵🏻♂️
Yes there was water running through, it's essentially the bottom of the glacier.
Fab… thank you Valur & Josie for taking us into the heart of Iceland.. in my, romanticised, vision ice caves such as this are what’s under the whole of Iceland! Glad that Polly got to have her own adventures… seemingly trying to burrow down to find her own cave! p.s. hope that you managed to get out okay!
What a wonderful adventure. Sooo beautiful. Thanks for sharing with us.
Fabulous report! Thank you!
That ice cave is magically beautiful! Congratulations and best wishes to the couple who got married there! So happy to see Polly enjoying herself!
Loved the heart at the entrance to the cave. Wow - 0 degrees C! I would have thought the ice cave would be colder. It was certainly fascinating. Good onya, Josie, for schlepping the camera on ice, and getting so many fascinating shots of the cave striata! And, LOL, the bride cheerfully talking while wearing a sleeveless dress...in an ice cave.
This was absolutely amazing! Thank you for sharing this with us!
Congratulations to the couple.
Excellent camera work Josie. And more of Polly digging.
As someone who is fascinated by ice caves but would never set foot in one, thanks for taking one for the team. This was incredible.
WOW that was amazing! Thanks for taking us to such a beautiful location! Josie Ann you are a BEAST photographer!!! Amazing camera work all while hiking in extreme conditions. Congratulations to the lovely couple who went above and beyond to have an amazing wedding. Hope your marriage is full of wonderful adventures filled with love.
Thank you Cindy, we're glad you enjoyed it!
What an amazing place! Great video and story - good luck US guys!
Amazing!
Iceland certainly looks like an arctic nation in this video.
HOW?!! 😆 Valur, as always, a consummate pro!
Congratulations to this couple, that’ll definitely be a story for any grandkids. Well done Josie with the great camera work in a challenging environment! I’ll def be checking out that RAX book, I love his work.
Wow that is AMAZING!
Absolutely fabulous,awesome......running out of superlatives for this week's video. EXCELLENT footage. Well done Josie. CaerpHilly missed it, but not for dogs....(hope the heat from all the future visitors breathing will not melt the ice cave!!?? ) Keep the the good work. Thank you
161 was the best ever!
Best newscast ever!
Wow Polly loves the snow as did mine.
Well done to all
I hope the Bride is not too cold.
Congratulations on a mega newscast.
Hope you didn't get stuck too long in the cave. ❄️
All the ice melting so fast worries me...is that normal? Its pretty loud in the background. I'd think in the middle of winter it wouldn't be doing that if its so cold? It's beautiful and that couple will have some pretty special memories did they have any family or friends with them? Maybe they had a 2nd ceremony with friends and family? But man oh man you couldn't pay me to go in there! ok lol, I'm claustrophobic but still... what if there's an earthquake or a cave in? I mean it could happen! Yea I'd rather go to a volcano lol.. at least you won't freeze your butt off. Iceland is such a beautiful place! I mean where else can you go see a volcano and an ice cave in the same place almost! ( ok when ones erupting I mean).
There is usually a lot of water flowing at the bottom of a glacier caused by melting at the surface finding its way down through crevasses to the base where its relative warmth helps melt these caves. This water might have melted in the summer and only now finding its way to the bottom.
Though all Icelandic glaciers are melting very fast now as the global temperature continue to rise. The majority of them will be gone within 200 years at the current rate of increase. They might need to rename the country!
I think the drone they had was for virtual attendance. But, really can you imagine the things to worry about, but, no one had masks on at least!:)
OMG !!
This is an OUTSTANDING Video!!! Josie did a Great Job on filming. Saving info from the link you provided. This is something I’ve got to see in person. Iceland Never creases to Amaze me. Good to see Pollý had fun too. Excellent Report as always, Valur. Truly an unforgettable experience. Thank you and everyone at The Reykjavík Grapevine, for helping us learn more about Beautiful Iceland. 🇮🇸
Thanks Corrine!
Twenty seconds in and Polly is already the center of attention, getting love from everyone she meets. Awwwwwww!
Thanks Valur for this fascinating episode - definitely one of the more challenging to make, especially for the camera! I used to love caving in normal rock caves when younger, but am imagining how slippery that ice slope must be - impressive skills you lot! Plus the deep snow to get there too! Thanks for the adventure. :)
Nice video.
Congratulations,great video. Beautiful!
good reporting
Just awesome. Well done Valur and team.
Thanks!
Fantastic! Must visit on our next trip to Iceland. Thank you for sharing. 💜
Definitely, not to be missed!
THANK YOU, THANK YOU ,THANK YOU, Dj discOworm San Fransisco
Lovely...I got married on top of a mountain...had all our people ride up to the top on snow mobiles...beautiful moon/star filled sky with the light of the moon glistening on the snow...beautiful night
What a cool video in this location! This was so fun to watch!
Thanks for watching :)
Wow, that was truly amazing! Lovely to see Polly having fun. Why was that lovely bride not covered in goosebumps though! It made me cold just to look at her! She looked beautiful. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Thanks Gillian. Love keeps you warm, so they say!

Love Ragnar work, would love to get his book 🙌🏻
Polly loves her daddy, Valur!
I think in many ways she is Valur as a dog!
Wow!
Congrats! I would have probably wore a long sleeve wedding dress...one for the record books
I was wondering how people survived the last ice age? Well at zero degrees in an ice cave as you've shown us and with enough natural light in a glacier above ground, not as impossible as it looks. Though food shopping would have been tough. Valur, how big is this cave? Does it have some geothermal source?
Snowchains for the feet 4thewin 😎
Looks like a tough walk back up!!
Wow! Love this. No further comment, for once.
Wait, I do have more to say.
I keep rewatching this, and I keep trying to think of what else someone could plan to do in an ice cave, then I thought, "ah hah! A walking tour." I suppose it is because I want to experience it, this video is a great step...and woah, that bride had to be cold. 0 degrees probably does not feel tropical, in a dress like that.
amazing stuff great camera work Josie Ann give Art a run for his money :)
How refreshing that you weren’t all forced to wear hard hats, as would be the case in so many countries. Let’s face it, if the roof decided to fall in it wouldn’t make any difference if you were wearing one or not.
I like the way you think!
@@melissahdawn Thank you, Melissa, I think that I like you!
Enjoyed the ice cave.
Though, hindsight is 20/20.
Perhaps video and stills could have been made without on-location reporting, then news and cave info overlaid. Background noise was quite loud, however, closed-captioning was used.
What I'm really trying say is camera teams are a precious commodity. Keep them safe. (But, appreciate the zeal.)
As always, your news and travels are top of the line!
Dream to film a wedding in iceland in on the list....
Bjork, Eik, Fura and Osp are all female given names in Iceland.
They Will probably regret selling their music to a bigger company. if Dj's play your music now they can be penilized for copy right infrigment on Twitch or youtube

Elk?
wow...that seems a bit sketchy...safety wise.
ja hérna, Er fræðilegur að þú skoðir "Þríhnúkagíg" einhvern tíman í náini framtíð ?
Polly is stealing the show....LOL
😱!
I went to watch one of your videos and it said I had to be a level “wine”, what does that mean
Hi Meli, all of our non-news videos are released to our WINE and CONNOISSEUR members before going live to the general public. It's one of the perks associated with our TH-cam Membership :)
Oh, the irony.
Global warming and the melting of glaciers, and everyone there has their own carbon monoxide belching machine/toy. (sigh)
No, no, no.... Entertaining, but scary!!
