- We visited Nátthagi, where the lava is now filling slowly. It’s obvious that the lava will go over the highway in the end, the only question is, how long will it take to reach the road. Also, there was an earthquake in Brennisteinsfjöll (The Sulphur Mountains) but it’s probably just a shift of tension in the area.

Thank you so much for your amazing videos. I live in North Carolina, United States of America. I love to learn, and your videos are a great source for information. I am 65 and disabled, so having you bring the Iceland volcano to the world is like living an adventure through your eyes!
Thank you thank you for letting me be apart of your adventure. I love all the views, sounds and tenacity of this earthly event. Island is uniquely wonderful.
It's truly a special place.
Art should get an award for his photography. Excellent stuff.
Art, you have a fantastic eye for the best shot. The opening shot with Valur leaning against the rock, the brown sand with the black volcanic flow behind it: Beautiful. Thank you.
Valur, I love the way you report on things. Your humor and honesty shine through, no matter the situation. You are very good at what you do.
I second that.
Experience.
His accent is not too bad, either.
@@sweettrubble4635 And then you have his "it is what it is!" . . . . . love it!
@17:34 That is a textbook example of ʻAʻā lava. The little solid pieces riding on top of the flow, falling off the front, and then getting covered are called, appropriately enough, clinker.
Definitely the best reporting of this volcano! Great work guys! Don't get blown away!
Amazing to see! Roman from Gut'n Tog hiked that valley last week before it broke through. I recognized that big rock immediately. The interesting thing about this volcano and it's fissures are they are directly above the tectonic plates where the Eurasian and North American plates come together. It's exactly on the lines. Awesome!
Art's panoramic shots at the end of the video wow. It's incredible how its changed. I am glad I saw it at the very beginning then watching a living thing (almost) grow into this monster of a lava field and narrated by you fine folks. Wish I cd be there in person. 👍🌋
The progression is something else. Looks like an entirely different place each week!
Good news for the reporter is his Journey to cover the story is getting much shorter ...soon he won't have to leave the parking lot
😄😄
Soon there will be no parking lot. ;)
Good thing... It's no easy hike!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣
Thanks for this nice report, your comments are very helpful to understand this situation and I hope you stay strong and healthy. 🌼🌼🌼
Great report as always, we were waiting for your 105th. Please keep them coming, we so much enjoy your stories, photography and your great explanations!
As usual great coverage!
Thank you again Valur and Art for all the effort you put into these broadcasts and photography. I so envy your ability to see this amazing eruption 'first-hand'....what memories ! Cheers from Aus
I have waited five day for this and its not disapointing at all
Thanks for the update
I always come here for high quality original footage of the volcano. Don't lose your hat!
Lava is so fascinating, I love watching about this volcano
It's like a car wreck: fascinating to watch people being saved, but you're glad it's not you.
Great footage! The sound of the lava moving is amazing!
Best photography of all the "volcano channels"
If this was happening in the UK, Iceland is about as close as we would be allowed to get to it. Respect to the Icelanders!
Same goes for the USA. They tried kicking people out of their own homes in Hawaii in 2018.
@@josephastier7421 You mean before 700 of those homes were destroyed by lava? Don’t make it sound like some totalitarian regime lmao it saved lives
@@Chimera_Photography Lol yeah those people would have just stayed in the houses as the lava rolled over them just to be stubborn wouldn't they! The USA is an authoritarian police state and the only people that disagree, are people in the USA unsurprisingly:)
@@Chimera_Photography You are confusing a warning for those in the flow path with an evacuation order for everyone in Leilani Estates - even those not threatened by the eruption. Those homeowners had nowhere to go, and stayed put, eventually prevailing against the overly heavy-handed state.
... if this happened in the UK, we'd all be living on the coast 😃 ... until all the ground was covered 😄 ... and then *someone* would build on it, and place a flag claiming it 😂 - *small island* - 🤣
I absolutely love the little cascade at the edge of the crater.
An excellent lava feature, adds so much curb appeal.
Always informative, interesting and entertaining. Thank you.
I am very glad to see and hear your latest news.
The sound of shattered glass is amazing.
It is so unexpected coming from all of the lava, but I really like it
I could listen to it all day! 🌋❤️
Great newscast as usual. Thanks Valur and Art
Honestly, I wish Valur would also be my regular newscaster for all news: I always enjoy his way of bringing information so much
This is my favourite news programme in the world.
I love these videos and the reporter's presentation! Awesome media and thank you
Thrilled that you enjoy it!
Oh good your back at the volcano I missed your reports with Polly!!!
Happy to hear that you enjoy Polly!
Love your updates. we are watching from Los Angeles. very informative. Keep it up.
I was just thinking earlier this evening that Valur and Art haven't updated us for a few days now! Huzzah! We're saved!
Just had the same thought, thought he had given up on us, but faithful just like the larva, pressing forward, evening all from Wales GB, stay safe, love to all Icelanders ❤
THat is first time I have ever heard a modern person use the term : Huzzah! in actual speech! Wind Power for energy along with thermal!
Just wanted to be another Wendy to comment lol
Love your newscasts
Also am I the only person who craves for apple crumble when they see that rolling lava with dark crust?
@@wendyinthegarden523 aw Wendy , thats my favourite, apple crumble and cornish ice cream, I'll have to go shopping tomorrow.
@@wendyinthegarden523 it reminds me of smashed strawberries with Oreo crumble🤤
I learn a lot from these reports and I especially enjoy the long shots of the sites before the end.
I love these updates. The shots are so beautifuly done plus I love how we get to just hear the volcano and lava. It's pretty incredible! I look forward to these and have my notifications turned on! Beautiful job!
I was thinking that the sound of the lava in the opening scene was similar to broken glass but in slow motion.
It has a metallic bell-like quality to it, once it crystallizes.
It was a total surprise to me.
The volcano never ceases to impress. It's surprise after surprise with this one!
@@TheReykjavikGrapevine It's great to have a worthy storyteller to relate the unfolding saga as well. Keep up the good work and don't get too close!
Love the Lava Newscast! 🤩
In Hawaii, they call those fine volcanic glass strands "Pele's Hair" after the volcano goddess.
@@lamebubblesflysohigh , Although Pele is pretty badass herself, lol.
I love pele hopefully she stirs kilauea soon and joins the fun I think pele left hawaii and went to Iceland for vacation she’ll be back in her home soon
@@Eddy12700 , lol, who knew Pele vacations in Iceland? 🤪
Hawaii exported the term to all volcanolists world-wise, via the scientific method and scientific journals.
Eddy127 no Shes Staying here for a bit. She found me. We are an item lol
Love your presentations, had to laugh and play twice @ 1:57 i thought you said 'Let's just get out of this wind, it's a bastard', lol.
I’m So Glad to see this latest Update!!! I was getting concerned as days passed and No word from Valur and Art. The video of the advancing Lava is as Incredible, as ever. Thank You for explaining that no one is in danger and that while the lava will eventually overrun the road - it’s not something that can’t be handled and fixed. As you say Valur, “ It is what it is”.
I did have a laugh when you said, “ I don’t know how you can hike like an idiot .” 🤣
Amazing Video as Always. 🌋
From Arizona - We Love Polly 🐶
"It is what it is" or petta reddast (it will work out) are some of our favorite sayings over here.. Some things you just can't come close to controlling in Iceland 😆
Time to start designing the first over lava road bridge or tunnel! Nice to see wind making an appearance. Trekking in Iceland was tough on soles of my hiking shoes and driving in Iceland was tough on car tires. Death by 1000s of small cuts! Too much fun! Thanks for the videos. Bet your doctor is happy about all the aerobic points your collecting.
PS: were all elves and troll houses saved?
Saving the elves and troll houses are the true purpose of the Search and Rescue team, of course..
I like his informal reporting style.
The official volcanology word for the thin strands of volcanic glass called 'witches hair' = Pele's hair = nornarhár 🌋
nornarhar reminds me of he Norns in a Wagner opera, they weave the threads of fate
Interesting name for it - thanks for the pointer!
This footage is really a work of Art.
He is quite the Artist!
Thank You Valur and Art for the great commentary, footage and drone work. Much appreciated. The volcano is still very powerful. Amazing how much lava has spewed out of the 9 fissures since 19 March. Sad to see lava flowing into Natthagi Valley. 😪 I hope that your home town stays safe Valur. Keep safe guys! 🙏
I’ve been waiting for the latest update from Valur. I didn’t actually realise how wide the lava flow was down in the valley until now.
I was a little concerned when Valur was describing the new type of lava being like slivers of glass & wonder if the strong wind could blow the glass & people could breathe it in or get it in their eyes. That could be deadly. I’m sure the experts wouldn’t let people go there if it was too dangerous though.
Stay safe, best wishes from Australia 🇦🇺❤️
Agreed, I was wondering the same thing about the glass strands and the wind.
It is naturally occurring fiberglass in the air. That can't be good.
But they are probably monitoring air quality in several ways and warning people when it gets bad.
Ongoing appreciation for your ongoing work and reporting.
And marveling at the toting of batteries, data storage, equipment, and supplies like water and food rations.
Came for the volcano, stayed for the Icelandic language lesson @ 7:54
It's surprising that the lava is still so hot at that distance from Nar. Thank you, as always, for your report. Very interesting, always!
Love a forecast that predicts for the next 200 years. Consider interviewing Apau Hawaii Tours who did a superb job reporting on the Kilauea eruption, its impact and aftermath, and resumption: compare notes, findings, terminology-for a unique intercultural view. Earth: what unites us all.
Absolutely! He did such an amazing job of showing us the 2018 eruption when the news failed. He still does great showing the aftermath and the rest of the island of Hawaii. I was hoping Scott would be able to fly to Iceland to film this eruption, but not to date.
Both Scott, Apau Hawaii Tours, and Charles, Doing Hawaii, have had great coverage of Kilauea and the Big Island. It would be awesome to have them visit Iceland. I know they'd get a kick out of it. I love how they have the same exuberance that Valur has. They'd probably love Polly, too! 😸
And I'll bet the Icelandic people will figure out better and better ways to control lava flow over those years.
You have to admire their determination. If this is what they do to save a parking lot, imagine what they will do if a flow threatens houses. I guess it's good to practice on saving parking lots. Especially if the whole peninsula is going to light up over the next 200 years.
Always enjoy your updates! Wyoming USA. Thx.
The glass is called Pele hair on Hawaii . its obsidian filaments when droplets of lava come apart, the lumpy lava is called Aa " ah ah" and makes a clinking sound when it rolls, The lava that flows and ripples is called Pahoehoe or pillow lava. My favorite is clinker or Aa lava because it warns you its coming.
For that fiber cable and the road, maybe pile the sand and stuff on top of them so they will have an insulating layer on them and after that lava period has passed one can dig a tunnel under the lava layer. You'll have some new tourist attractions and cable is still usable as well.
I gave Google Translate a little test after seeing "björgunarsveit" printed on a jacket at 16:00. Google says it means: "rescue squad".
It's the the Icelandic Search and Rescue/ICESAR uniform. Glad to know more vocab!
Uhauu, that is really impressive. And the lava noise at the end of the video sounded like glass breaking. Thanks so much for sharing it with us. 📸
Valur is so cute! Love his positive attitude! Got a kick out of his comment..."Hike like an idiot" . Thanks for great pics and vids! Greetings from Belize Central America...365 days of summer
Happy to have some support from down in Central America. Hope it's a bit warmer than it is here! 😅
@@TheReykjavikGrapevine Hello to the editor and chief and to Polly! I really enjoy your news site. I especially enjoy your personality. I wish I was able to visit Iceland now and enjoy your cool temps. Very hot and humid in Belize Central America. Guatemala ..next to Belize has an active volcano as well.
I like this gentleman. I only wish I knew how to spell or pronounce his name! He's informative and funny, not to mention his excellent command of the English language. The quality of these videos is also a step above everyone else's - very crisp images, a steady camera, and the audio ... how they can record sound and be heard in those gale winds I do not know, but they do. Thanks you!
I guess you need to be a native English speaker to tell apart when he speaks English or Islandic. I do love his reports, I just do not understand the most.
His name is Valur, a bit like we would say Valor - in English, but with the rolled r of Iceland and the o sound as an oo-ish sound.
I do wish they had captions.
Amazing video and amazing coverage, thank you my friend.
50 million years ago the artic was a warm swamp the earth is always changing
It will be interesting to see what happens when the lava reaches the big boulder that he is leaning against at the beginning of the video.
SPOILER ALERT: It will go around it...then, if the flow is good enough...it will go over it. Tah Dah!
@@angelatrinh1156 My Bad. Fixed. lmao
It will soon look like a small boulder but _still be_ the size of a large boulder.
..and then it will just be an inclusion in this new strata of volcanic rock.
@@xzysyndrome 😄😄
Y'all need to harness the wind power, if you haven't already.
Your island is a self contained, natural power house.
Thanks for the info update Valur 👍
Iceland is already fully powered by renewables, mostly Hydro (70%) and Geothermal (30%). In fact, much like my own province, they produce an absolutely massive amount per capita, with most of it being used by massive aluminum smelters.
Funny you say that since just last week an UK company asked if it could set up a huge Windmill Farm in Iceland and send all the electricity to Britain via a sea cable. I doubt that would ever be agreed to.
Could we redirect the wind to blow the lava back? 🤪
@@mannistef i hope Iceland rejects the 'offer'. It doesn't need ugly big wind turbines. There are less intrusive landscape designs coming along. After all, Iceland can probably export electricity to Scotland if it doesn't already.
Wonder if disunited kingdom company as considered just HOW they would erect a huge wind turbine in those winds. Have to wait for a calm day... Send them a geothermal power brochure in response 😂
@@grendel_nz Some of our scientists are indeed saying we should harness some wind power but not spread the windmills all over the place. Local governments are proposing different windmills here and there, probably needs central control
Witches' Hair, known as Pelee's hair in Hawaii, can sometimes be spun so hard by the volcano blast & wind that they form big clumps!
Wow, this is fascinating! And stunning photography!
I nominate the camera man for an Oscar for his excellent cinematic material. It is a real pleasure to watch and be informed so well at the same time
How can something that sound so wonderful, almost like a waterfall, be so destructive and dangerous. I'm totally mesmerised by the sounds and close ups of the moving lava. Thank you for your wonderful report and the video, fabulous!
It's incredible how powerful they can be too. Thanks for the compliment!
I hope that your town remains safe. Thank you for your on the scene reports. It's almost like being there. Since I'm from Oregon, USA, and familiar with volcanic landforms this helps me imagine being in Iceland. I watched the Mt. St. Helens eruption and prior to it had climbed the mountain many times. Stay safe.
the last minute was just perfect! the sound of lava is amazing! Thank you!
Just really great everything on this upload...thanks
afternoon from Phoenix
I missed you too, and than there you are! Beautiful images from the Lava. Thanks!
You really should do some before and after scenes so we get some depth of how the volcano has grown.
Yes please!
There is a bell tower not 300 meters from my home, and depending on the direction of the wind, it can sound like it’s right at my window, or not ringing at all. Watching the start of your talking reminded me of listening to the noon chimes and missing the middle clangs because the wind blew the sound in a different direction.
🤣
Art is doing an amazing job on this - any chance of indulging my photographic geek and telling us what sort of lenses and cameras he is using to get those wonderful close-ups of the crater at about 14:00 in?
Thanks for that! The camera was a Canon 5D Mark IIII and the lens was 200mm.
You are taking the world on an awesome adventure with your amazing videos of your beautiful homeland!! History will remember these erruptions through your beautiful videos and commentaries! Thank you and your wife so very much for sharing these videos. Be safe and well! And God bless you!!
Thank you for speaking English and being a charming person ,as well to let those of us who do not speak Icelandic in on what is happening!
Such sturdy fellows, Valur and Art, battling that strong wind to keep us current! I love the spectacular volcano footage, especially that you captured the "clinking" of the lava. Discovered that was one of my all-time favorite sounds with the 2018 Kilauea eruption (thanx Scott, Apau Hawaii & Charles, Doing Hawaii).
I've got to find my way to Iceland!!!
💚🌋🌍💜🇮🇸✌️😸
We could be viewing the earth thousands or millions of years ago. No telephone poles or traffic to spoil the view.
Good and stark.
As a geologist, thank you for the unique views you film, and the general geology you provide. You have a great sense of humor and I really enjoy that. I am from New York. Icelandic language is so interesting to us English speakers. Looking forward to your next report.
Try our best - thanks Robert!
This is the best covering of The volcano situation ever. Great job man! You and your camera man are perfect, good interesting facts, great shots, perfect editing in all yor videos. THX. Greetings from Slovakia!
Valur, I think the English idiom you were looking for was "slow as molasses" 😉
They should have listened to you. You knew that wall was no match for the volcano.
I think they knew it would eventually overflow but they were hoping to divert it long enough to coax it to a different path.
In the game of rock, paper, scissors, magma beats dirt every time!
Beautiful camera work as always Art, that last bit with the sound of tinkling glass was entrancing.
the Icelanders were already successful on Heimeay Island when they
cooled a lava flow with water and so its viscosity so
increased so that it no longer flowed much further.
They pump up vast amounts of the surrounding seawater.
Maybe fire-fighting planes or a cascade of fire hoses will help
Thanks for bringing this volcano to us. well done. The opening and closing scene are particularly awesome.
Thrilled that you enjoyed it!
Easier to move a highway than move a volcano.
Welcome back Valur!
In Hawaii, those glass threads are known as Pele's Hair after Madam Pele, the volcano goddess who is said to live in the crater of Halemaumau on Kilauea (see it's not just Iceland that gives difficult names to its volcanoes). It's usually formed from fire fountains, or where lava is moving fast. Please don't touch it - it is glass, it is REALLY sharp, it can irritate your skin and cause serious injuries if it gets into your eyes or lungs.
The light in today's Newscast is amazing - Art has done a beautiful job of catching the unearthly colours of the ground, the glow of the lava peeking out of the blackness - and that incredible Nordic sky (I'd almost forgotten what a blue sky looks like - clearly you're having our summer!)
"Hike like an idiot." 😂🤣😂
That's a t-shirt!
With an appropriate illustration! 😉😂
Good to see that it is spread out. It will slow down the flow. 🌋🔥💖
When the video started, it sounded like crushed glass and it was! It is amazing to watch and hear what comes up from the earth. Thank you again for the informative news cast. I look forward to what you show us next.
Glad you liked it. Can't wait to show more of what Iceland has to offer 😊
That sound of the lava flowing is amazing
I look forward to your volcano reports, and eh geologic history in the making....I hope that you Icelanders are all prepared for eventualities.....have a great day Valur and team and God Speed
It’s the same, the hiking, here in the uk, always a few idiots who screw up every year but if you dress properly and know what you’re doing it’s ok. Thank you
Awesome...always looking forward to these Newscasts. Cheers guys.
Thanks, Stuart. More to come!
Grown to love this guy! Cheers from Charlotte NC
Glad to have some support in North Carolina!
So much video is available regarding this natural phenomenon, but the professional sound quality of this channel is unmatched. Notice how the remote individual microphone continues to work fine as our intrepid reporter turns his back on the camera while hiking away. Notice the incredible build-up of that jet engine sound as an effusive event occurs in the volcano's crater during a long sequence at the end of his narrated report. This is my favorite media outlet in the world right now.
As always, fantastic footage! Thank you.
Around 16:30
It appears that it does move like water does - when it gets squeezed into a tighter area, the lava moves faster. When the area broadens out, it moves slower.
THANK YOU Art and Valur!!!! Your reporting and photography is always outstanding!
“Hike like an idiot” - as a Coloradan I know exactly what he’s referring to. People trying to hike 14ers in flip flops with one 16 oz bottle of water. I see them every summer.
Me a CO native too-Ditto on what you said!!😳😄🩴
Everybody's got 'em.
There's a stupid person born every minute of every day. That guy didn't have the common sense . He said he hiked at home often. He has evidently never been around a volcano
You get more accurate information and views of the lava fields than any other channel, another perfect video. Ron, in Philippines.
Praying for best outcomes 🙏 for all involved.
This is the greatest real news anchor in the world! 😄 love this guy!! 👏👏👏
in Hawaii, the threads of black glass are called Pelee's hair and is very sought after.
spectacular footage and reporting. love yer style and info. thank you to your team for all the reports .p.s. - when do you sleep?
