I discovered this on YT very early on and many times thought, “Well, that’s about it. Near the end.” And now, here we are 2 months later. Very amazing to look at the output still coming. Thank you Iceland - the gift that keeps giving!
I have been completely addicted to watching this since it started too. Mother Earth, simply amazing. Yes, thank you Iceland and the lovely people at the Grapevine too for the wonderful newscasts!
The sound coming from the volcano was awesome. Thank you Valur for risking your life to bring us the news. You do an awesome job. Hello from Queensland Australia 💖
Aloha from Hawaii. You asked about walls to deflect the lava here in Hawaii. For the most part they are unable to stop a vigorous flow. Several years ago an individual built a wall with a bulldozer in his back garden to save his house in Pahoa. The flow came right up to the wall a but then the eruption stopped and so did the flow. A couple of years later we had that massive event that destroyed hundreds of homes, nothing could stop that. Thanks for the footage, spectacular!
You are correct. I live in Hawaii as well. Iceland successfully diverted a lava flow using a lot of sea water back in the 70's I think. That was an amazing feat.
@@cb2000a yes and saved the port of the island vestmannaislands just outside of the mainland. Fun fact US armed forces loand the locals súpur heavy duty water pumps, thanks USA for that and being the superperpower that dragged old Iceland which was the poorest shithole in europe to one of the prosperus state with over and over again tops various charts for good happy safe living standards, í have ww2 to thank for me being born, USA even paved the route 1 around the country in exchange for á millitairybase on the island, so again thanks america for everything :) peace out, a random Icelander.

Here is footage of that event and the futile efforts trying to build walls to protect the town, not to mention it has legal issues too as any wall built may divert lava onto someone else's property. th-cam.com/video/2BsIm7iodIs/w-d-xo.html
I know many people have said this before on this and other channels, there is no way the UK government would let us anywhere near an eruption, if one were to occur. All credit to the good sense of the Icelandic people. Thanks for the great coverage and commentary.

Greetings Valur, greetings Art, from Wales UK,i always a joy to see your podcast, that was one heck of a firework there, any higher and i will be able to see it from the Brecon Beacons, stay safe ❤
I have to thank you, Valur, for your long walks to get this footage so often!! Thanks to you and your camera team as we appreciate the informative updates. You guys are epic...and probably much trimmer and fitter!!
@@MellenBerger shhhh..... don't hurt it's feelings....it has big aspirations! It hasn't had all the opportunities that privledged signs have, but in a time of sign diversity, it's time to shine has come!
@@annatheinnotz4901 I apologize to the sign and it´s family, and hope all the best for it in future signage endeavours, at least it is bilingual, always a good quality to have in the sign world.
I always look forward to your updates Valur. Keep up the great work of keeping all of us informed as to what is happening with this awesome spectacle. 👍
As a longtime former resident of the Big Island, Hawaii, I of course am fascinated by volcanoes and appreciative of Iceland's gorgeous volcanic displays. I've been saying that in Hawaii the volcanoes have been referred to as "drive-in volcanoes" so I am calling Iceland's "walk-up volcanoes". The Kilauea eruption in Hawaii went on for over 3 decades almost completely uninterrupted. Building new land and changing the landscape, while covering roads and homes, yet creating new land, and landmass shelves that at times broke off and fell into the ocean. I love love love the Reykjavik Grapevine's coverage. Awesomeness! Professional. Dependable. Still, I am concerned for my 'friends' in Iceland the longer the eruption goes on. Be safe☺
I absolutely love the videos we have nothing like it in the UK. Been watching the volcano every day since it was being streamed. Amazing how much it's changed since the start
Me also I started watching the livestream before it erupted when they had the camera watching another valley where they thought it was going to erupt 😂
I can see the lava erupting from my window and I live in Sandgerði near the airport. Much different from when I lived in the UK. Can't wait to take my daughter and grandchildren to see it in July when they come to visit.
I could just watch this for hours, days and months. As amazing now as when it first started. Thanks Valur (and the intrepid cameraman) for your continued great work and reporting.
Thank You Valur and Art. Great commentary and footage as always. The volcano seems to be growing in intensity and beauty. Wall is amazing. Great work by guys building it! Stay safe! 🙏
Another terrific video Valur and Art - amazing content and beautifully filmed. Fingers crossed this doesn't go out - I've got a week in Iceland at the beginning of September*. Come on Reykjanes you can keep going! * This means it will be pouring with rain in Iceland in September. On the other hand, if I'm out of the country, it will be the perfect time to take a holiday in the UK.
Thanks for this information and closed up of the lava construction wall. You are the only one that understands that we are very interested in it. The webcams doesn’t show it close enough! I heard somewhere that the goal of the wall is not only to stop the lava stream, delaying it would also be very helpful. Maybe it will take a few weeks longer before it is down in the valley and they can better prepare the infrastructure down there. Many thanks from the Netherlands.
Excellent work by Art and Valur. I was up the path a couple of hours earlier, passing by the excavator and dozer making incredibly quick work of moving a great deal of earth. I dropped a glove along the way, and figured it would be consumed by the eventual lava flow, but gladly, found it on a trek back. The massive growth of the lava field toward the valley since I was last at the site, Saturday was stunning, and sobering.
also. - having just been at the Westman islands for a few days, and seeing the 1973 "seawater rescue" of the harbor, I'm not sure any such effort would succeed today, here. As big as the Heimaey volcano was, this new eruption is something very different - we are only a couple of months in, yes?
That's right. Volcanologist don't believe that this will do anything else than slow the lava flow down. One have said that this was just a waste of time and money.
Valur, you are a warrior. Art, you are an artist with those amazing images! Thank you both for sharing this incredible beauty of Mother Earth. We are lucky to have you as witness of this events. I hope that the damage to your beautiful country’s infrastructure, cities and population will be as minimal as can be. I really wish we could come and see this amazing « once in a lifetime » event but it seems to be too soon with all the health restrictions. Take care!
Thank you very much for this informative video and also, I appreciate the fact your videos are in English despite it not being your first language. You do a very good job and I find it really interesting.
Thank you Valur and Art for keeping us up to date on your amazing volcano. The machines you showed at the beginning are usually known as an "excavator" and a "back hoe" in America. Hope the dirt wall helps. Stay safe! from San Diego, CA USA
Brilliant video. The reporter (Valur himself?) is such a character too - so natural, relaxed and friendly. And so full of enthusiasm. He and the volcano both have star billing!
Hope they can divert the lava just enough to prevent from causing damage. So Amazing how much this volcano has changed, since March.. Art’s videos are spectacular.( Almost feels like I’m actually there watching the volcano.) Hope I can view it in person, in the near future. Thank You Valur. Stay Safe. From Arizona - We Love Polly. 🌋 😘🐶
aerial views show there is nowhere to divert that flow. it would have to stop and then back up, which is pretty unlikely. This 3D map helped me understand the situation ___ sketchfab.com/3d-models/fagradalsfjall-volcanic-eruption-18052021-73adeb1d4ed54eedb8ee8372836d965d
Cheers from Australia Valur and Art. Your broadcasts are my 'go-to' for all things Volcano, but for all the other amazing things I'm learning about Iceland and its people. Thank you!
Great report again fact not fiction, the sound was amazing thanks again. I hope to vist with my kid's this year, I will bring a bag of treats for Polly.
You guys totally do the best volcano videos about this event. Grettisson narrative is very informational and his accent as a charm in it. Great camera work from Bicnick. I love the angles and even from previous videos that actually shows for watcher how huge the volcano actually is. My favorite in this video was sound capturing the eruption at 11:50. Can really feel the power of the eruption. Can't wait to see more!
Thank you for the update. I live in the south of France but for the past 2 month I feel a little icelandic myself thanks to all your amazing footages on many youtube channels. I hope the wall will hold !
I'm a hardcore "Volcan" now ❤️🌋🖖🏻 Keep it up Valur and Art and Polly! Best regards from Sweden. P.S. I voted for Iceland in last years Eurovision Song Contest online event. Basicly Iceland won. Iceland also won in the swedish votings online. 😊🇸🇪❤️🇮🇸 I really hope Iceland has not gotten to sick from the polish team down in Rotterdam?! I hope they can preform tomorrow! ❤️
What I love more than showing up as one of the first viewers of your videos is seeing a view count of 30k when I show up and it is still the first day of viewing. Thank you for the update on the wall and the ongoing news and view of the changes at the volcano site. 🙂
What is the difference between a backhoe and an excavator? The main difference between the two machines is size - excavators are larger and heavier, while backhoes are slightly smaller. The excavator is typically a better fit for demolition projects, mining, driving piles, drilling shafts for rock blasting, and overall large-scale industrial projects.
It is simply extraordinary. That rushing river of lava is mind blowing. I am very interested in seeing how the wall plays out and slows the progress of the lava flow. All that lava has to go somewhere, regardless. Thank you again.
Thank you for keeping us all informed and with some magnificent shots. It amazes me how long it's been flowing and also hope you do actually sleep. Good luck with your Euro vision entry for tonight it's a good one too. Cyber hugs from South England 😇😚😇
wow.....just wow. Not sure I can think of anything better to add :-) Been watching all your updates, but this really brings this amazing spectacle into perspective! Thank you. And, really great camerawork!
That opening of the Volcano footage was epic! Love the camera work, this news broadcast really has a winning combination, it's interesting, informative and exciting where you just can't wait for that next video!!! 🌋🌋🌋🌋🌋🌋🌋🌋🌋🌋🌋
It never ceases to entertain me. I could watch it all day. I hope the lava is stopped from affecting infrastructures, build a big big wall or dig a big big valley. thanks for the info as always
They grow up so fast... I remember when it was just a little crack in the ground. And now look at it... A 200 foot tall lava version of "old faithful" .
Thank you again for these incredible pictures. I'm so very curious how well this earth work will perform. And it's incredible how the volcano changes all the time. This lava flow on a self built dam (which seems very high already) is impressive.
Absolutely beautiful. I have been following you from the beginning. The camera work is beautiful. But to see this in person must be out of this world. Hello from the United States Tucson Arizona.
I travelled from France to see the volcano on Sunday afternoon and Monday night, actually my mind has not yet recovered from seeing this. If you're vaccinated and have some bucks, just GO and see it!
Yes, you need to quarantine, but if you have proof of vaccination, you only need to quarantine until the test they give you at the airport comes back negative (a few hours). If you're not vaccinated, you probably shouldn't be traveling anyway.
Did you fully vaccinated? Or you take the quarantine? I read online on Iceland tourism website, they welcome tourist from around the globe with 2 condition: - you must be in quarantine if not vaccinated - you can start your journey without quarantine if you fully vacinated in home country
Hi Valur, In English we call the Volvo an excavator and the CAT is call a bulldozer. I do love your coverage of the volcanos. Thanks for what you are doing.
It’s actually quite common. The lava flows along, and bits along the edge cool off and stick. Then another surge of lava makes more bits to stick on top of the older ones, raising the edges. Repeat a whole lot, and the edges keep building up. Every now and then the flow will surge over the edge or the wall will fail and send a flow off to the side, which cools and raises it some more... repeat, repeat, repeat. You end up with a channel perched way up high above the landscape.
@@RoxnDox Just be glad that the volcano is still small. It could (will) get really terrifying if it were a few dozen meters taller. As they get above a moderate height the lava goes down the cone sides fast enough to thin out and cool quicker, changing the process to shield building with some lava flows instead of lava flows with some building. It's that transition area where there is enough cone/shield to generate strong flows but the slopes are still too flat to thin out the flow that is really dangerous to the surrounding area.
Shout out to Art for his work and his excellent, smooth and beautiful camera work.
@poker jon Nice one.
I didn'tt know the cameraman's name. Thanks. He is amazing.
He deserves an award for his work throughout this whole thing. His filming is by far the best
Ye, first class video captures and editing🥇
I agree this is excellent and outstanding journalism. And I really appreciate every second of it!
This is the very best coverage on this volcano, especially if you can not go there in person. Thank you, Art.
You are very welcome, Linda. It's a pleasure to do something for you :)

And now, here we are 2 months later. Very amazing to look at the output still coming. Thank you Iceland - the gift that keeps giving!
If this really is a shield volcano eruption it might be with us for years.

Risking his life? C'mon, he's a half-baked journalist stammering out a report. Don't make it sound like the guy s are supermen. You must be a Liberal.
He is fortunately not risking his life. When the gas goes somewhat high the site is closed. But greetings to Queensland :)

I dunno.....if it was a regular enough thing the 'concern for public safety' (and the money) would soon dry up.
I was thinking how in the US we would be kept 2 miles away at a minimum.
Then there’s here in the US where they have to tell us not to take medications we’re allergic to, and warn us that hot coffee is, well, HOT!

That's the first video where I actually heard the real sound of an eruption. WOW!
Thank you, Valur. Always excellent reports and updates. --- Doug, USA
Thanks for giving us this view of the greatest show on Earth 🌍
Thank you for sharing. Unbelievable how something so bad can be so beautiful.
I knew a woman like that!!!!!😂😂😂😂😂😂
1:36 ""They are trying to stop this here"" then big sincere laugh.
The most accurate moment of the video :)

Must be quite difficult to really follow like this
He uses a drone
@@gracejohnston2692 description says cameraman
Ive seen his other vids n HES USED A DRONE!
@@gracejohnston2692 Okay Grace. Stay Safe.
I travelled from France to see the volcano on Sunday afternoon and Monday night, actually my mind has not yet recovered from seeing this. If you're vaccinated and have some bucks, just GO and see it!
....and if you're prepared to quarantine on arrival and when you get back to your home country.
I’m very jealous of you. I’m vaccinated but on half salary. So no travel for a long time.
Did you have to quarantine on arrival? I'll be coming from France in about a month from now, and the quarantine information isn't very clear..
Yes, you need to quarantine, but if you have proof of vaccination, you only need to quarantine until the test they give you at the airport comes back negative (a few hours). If you're not vaccinated, you probably shouldn't be traveling anyway.
Did you fully vaccinated? Or you take the quarantine?
I read online on Iceland tourism website, they welcome tourist from around the globe with 2 condition:
- you must be in quarantine if not vaccinated
- you can start your journey without quarantine if you fully vacinated in home country
Hi Valur,
In English we call the Volvo an excavator and the CAT is call a bulldozer. I do love your coverage of the volcanos. Thanks for what you are doing.
Your voice is soooo soothing! & such a Beautiful way of explaining the situation.
It's interesting how the lava river is creating it's own kind of aqueduct high above the surrounding landscape.
@Dayanto ...lithoduct?
It’s actually quite common. The lava flows along, and bits along the edge cool off and stick. Then another surge of lava makes more bits to stick on top of the older ones, raising the edges. Repeat a whole lot, and the edges keep building up. Every now and then the flow will surge over the edge or the wall will fail and send a flow off to the side, which cools and raises it some more... repeat, repeat, repeat. You end up with a channel perched way up high above the landscape.
@@RoxnDox Just be glad that the volcano is still small. It could (will) get really terrifying if it were a few dozen meters taller. As they get above a moderate height the lava goes down the cone sides fast enough to thin out and cool quicker, changing the process to shield building with some lava flows instead of lava flows with some building. It's that transition area where there is enough cone/shield to generate strong flows but the slopes are still too flat to thin out the flow that is really dangerous to the surrounding area.
@@timberwolf1575 yes indeed. We may get to see the process in action over the next few years.
Brilliant thanks Art and Valur
The volcano has come a long way since mini me-awesome video as always
