- The crater lake rose up significantly and still rising. Lava might start spilling over on all sides as in shield volcanoes. Filmed June 8. New updates coming tomorrow.
I wanna say thanks for not having some cringy opening, or end card or asking people to subscribe and like, this is just good content easy to consume without the forced crap. Thanks for your continued documentation GutnTog!
😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
I so agree!
A lot of times people forget to subscribe t. hey just watch the video and do not remember. The amount of subscribers counts in the analytics of TH-cam to how these channels get paid. So it is important. Just saying...
@@infotoknow9486 People who use smug phrases, like just sayin', are typically not worth listening to about anything. he's got a point. I won't subscribe to people who beg/demand/etc because I'm a grown human being capable of taking care of my own life. People that try to push into that in anyway, even in the way of begging for subs, get 0 attention from me. I doubt I'm the only one who thinks that way about it and puts action to his words. Your superiority complex however, is extremely unwarranted on this topic.
The change in the scenery has astounded me too. Something that started so small. I watched it from the very beginning when there was a flurry of earthquakes and then a small fissure opened. It's come a long way in a little less than two months and it seems to be difficult to predict what will happen next. Turn the next page. No point in going to the end of the book, it hasn't been written yet. Every day I'll keep turning the page and watch as the story unfolds. The videos just keep getting better and better. Look after yourselves. Paul, Sheffield, South Yorkshire
Another great video. I like the rawness of your videos. The sound of the wind etc. Makes a change from all the super slick wannabe tv producers out there. Feels more real!
Your footage just gets better and better and mind blowingly awesome!🌋😁👍🦘
Your record of a changing geography is great. Cheers
Amazing to thing that this Volcano was originally, a short time ago, just yet another fissure in the ground and is now a dominant mountain taking over the landscape ... The scenery has changed so much.
I recall something similar happening in Mexico in the 1940s. Particutin or something like that.
A farmer saw a small vent in a corn field. Over the next wweks, it grew bigger and bigger until there was a mountain. It had a different type of lava-more cinders and ash the molten rock. Still a mountain grew where there was nothing.
@@woodsplitter3274 All mountains grow where once there was nothing. Mother Earth just loves to re-arrange the furniture.
@@bettyswallocks6411 true, but that is overs thousands or millions of years, not over a few years.
@@woodsplitter3274 Nope, wrong, you've been lied to about that. It only takes thousands, eespecially with catastrophes such as the flood, which explains most formations and layers we see today.
This is for whoever needs the reminder. Don't feed the troll. The one above this comment obviously.
Wow, the lava is never ending! I’m so impressed with your videos, thank you!
Thank you for sharing your wonderful videos with us GT. Keep up the good work. Stay safe. Regards from 🇬🇧
Remember that Iceland sits atop the mid Atlantic Ridge and that ridge opened up so this volcano has access to the mantel which is molten rock, so this could go no for a good many months or even longer! Volcanoes are pressure valves and there is a lot of pressure built up.
Iceland right now has a changing geology so at this time there is some history being made
I have a sinking feeling that the rift is gonna crack open a bit more before this is all said and done.
@@thewanderer6444 the Mid Atlantic ridge is already opening up, look at the activity along it now, go from Iceland south through the Caribbean Islands and you will see the chain of activity, the same thing is occurring along the Pacific ring of fire.
Last major eruption there lasted 10 YEARS
@@TheFineLine920 the last major eruption in Iceland which at this location lasted for about 30 years, in one of his previous vids he even said so, I did some checking myself and in the eruption back around 1500 years ago there was on that went for better than 30 years or moreand then around the 1500s there was one that went for 20 years or so. The fact is Iceland is very much geologically active in more ways than one, if you look at the terrain there is little in the way of vegetation and what there is of it is the mosses that usually come around first.
If the sulfur reaches the water at the drinking rock the sulfur may reach Europe and have the air travel shut down.
It is difficult to judge from watching videos, but it seems to me that when it over flows now the volume of lava is much greater than just a few weeks ago.
I believe the flow rate is much higher: the second spillway, the longer pulses, the vastly increased volume in play. This thing takes fewer breaks, too. I tag the flow rate at ~40 cubic meters per second or more. Remember, despite the zoom, that thing is what, a half-kilometer from the camera stands: It’s hard to grasp the true size of something seen from such a distance.
@@charliemoody7168 A while ago it was said to be at 13 cu m/s and now perhaps 15 cu m/s that is 460-530 cu ft/s, 40 cu ft/s is just a little over 1 cu m/s
@@traog Apologies, Gord, I did mean cubic meters, I have clarified the OC
Remember when this was just a patch of grass with a tiny little fissure? Amazing how fast volcanoes can change the landscape
They grow up so fast =)
I first started watching it before the fissure even opened. It has been exciting to watch earth form new mountains in our own life time.
@@thewanderer6444 yes and how do the owners cope do the have to register the changes with the land office. Excuse me but you know that field I had , yes sir well i got a volcanic mountain on it now oh really sir well you do realise you'll have to pay extra if you don't have permission.
how long ago was there grass
Yeah, What Roger said. ?
Interesting how a preponderance of the lava at each eruption seems to flow immediately into a lava tube and disappear under the lava field's surface. This must pressurize the entire lava field, explaining much of how the field inflates, expands at its edges, climbs hills and fills dales.
Simple physics really, but nonetheless an amazing spectacle. If the volcano manages to grow in circumference it might even cause the lava tubes to be fed directly by the lake.
@@paulmichaelfreedman8334 That’s very plausible, however, even with the constant drainage from that point, I believe the cyclical eruptions that appear to be happening every few minutes would still cause an overflow due to the tubes capacity! This is a spectacular event to watch!
Just amazing!
My many thanks to the mini brave amateur vulcanologists TH-camrs who have braved rocks falling on their heads and and stinky gases that if they got too much could make them sick or kill him wrist getting burnt by the lava. Thank you very much
@@paulmichaelfreedman8334 The physics of fluid dynamics, as beneath a surface crust, it's mostly a liquid lava lake replenished by each new eruption.
Thank you, yet again a spectacular video of what is going on each day.
Thank you for the updates.
Thank you for taking the time to hike and film. Your videos add so much to our understanding of the lava flows!
Thank you Gutn Tog. Best vids of the volcano is from this man. Appreciate the effort u put in. So mesmerising too. How many miles long now is the path of the volcano.
Astonishing and beautiful 😊😃
Standing Ovation! Awesome, Awesome footage!
The extreme high heat of the lava makes it look like it has the viscosity of water. Amazing...
I believe it's viscosity is determined by the silica content rather than the heat.
According to SDSU, viscosity is a function of temperature AND silica content-as well as gas content. sci.sdsu.edu/how_volcanoes_work/Controls.html
Assuming the silica content doesn’t change after eruption, it seems like the liquid viscosity would increase over time both due to cooling and outgassing. That page also suggests that growing gas bubbles within the liquid can reduce bulk viscosity, so I might imagine that to be a third factor leading to what looks like a very low viscosity lava right after eruption.
Anyone know why it's ejecta spasm seems to be in cyclical fashion - something to do with how Earths core is rotating ?
Also does this indicate that the below crust pressure isn't equal ?
@@everettjazz my thanks for the lecture. That’s exactly what I said in a nutshell. You sound like someone who describes a drowning man the chemistry of the water. Relax, there is no gain in trying to impress me…
@@fcapio by golly, I'm impressed with all of you all.!
Hello from Texas! I enjoy your videos.
Thank you so much for your efforts! Be careful and be blessed!
2:03 yes, zoom is the thing to use with this thing. It is beginning to look quite dangerous!
Sure you don't need to go walking about with a camera you end up like a statue from pompei
Gutin Tog, you're correct this video from 3 days ago compared to today June 11 the crater wall has grown higher where it overflows and the lave spillover is much wider due to this higher spillway. One other thing is the lava inside the crater is staying at a much higher level all the time, and no more high ejections of lava either. I love watching this volcano daily and seeing the constant change. Thanks for your almost daily reporting and videos.👍
Great telephoto views of the lava outflow from the crater. Thanks
WOW…be safe and thank you again for sharing with me and the world!
Even now after all this time with the lava flow, you still have a lot of valleys that can fill.
Thanks again Roman, you really are doing us proud, all this information ,given freely. You're a wee star🏴😁😏🏴
Shared!!! I watch every day!!! Thank you GutnTog! From the East Coast, USA!!!
Me too! Northern east coast.
These are great videos. Thank you for your time and effort. Truly awe-inspiring.
Thanks for all the videos!!!
Thanks for letting us viewers witness this amazing event.
Thank you for all the good footage! Glad you will have time to visit the volcano again in the next days, GutnTog! I'm sure it has missed you too, lol. Any chance you could have a glance at the progression of the lava in northern Meradalir at some time? No livecam available for the public for days from that part of the valleys where most of the lava is going for quite a while now. Take care, best wishes!
Thank you for all your updates. Love from Ireland
Amazing video! Mother nature is creating new mountains in Iceland while sink holes in other places. Land is moving underground from one place to another. Isn't it incredible! Literally, moving mountains. Thanks for documenting.
The sinkholes are not related to the volcano. It's not land moving underground. They are entirely different phenomena.
This channel has 39.1k subscribers and 39,484 views. That is a pretty loyal following.
Great upload, Gutn Tog. Today's perspective was very helpful in understanding the expanse of the volcano. ---Thanks ---
Thank you for yet another wonderfully informative video! I subscribe and watch every day. This is amazing! Thank you! Spaziba.
You never cease to amaze me with your videos. Thanks again Gutntog!!
Ps: our little volcano is going up *sniff*
Amazing to see this! Nature rules.
Transformations of this volcano for two months are mesmerizing. 👍
You have a very awesome camera, the panorama views are spectacular, that volcano just won't slow down, this is amazing, thank you for your faithful reporting, from Grants Lick Kentucky USA
Beyond incredible. Thank you for sharing.
Yes,im glad you are farther away,great footage👍👍
Love the content GutnTog! Thank you for keeping the title of this video in lower case letters, without the clickbaity feel. Can't wait for your next adventures!
thanks for being out there to get this footage brother.
cheers.
These past three months of earthquakes and volcanic 🌋 activity have been amazing and educational.
Fortunately, the original fissure and all of this has happened in an uninhabited place. In 2018, fissures like these appeared in Hawaii, and the damage to property was immense because the fissures appeared in populated areas. I don't recall hearing of human lives being lost, but similar rivers of lava destroyed everything in its path. I hope Iceland has better luck in that respect.
Much better when we can hear the volcano instead of wind!
Absolutely amazing!
Thankyou Gutntog You have saved me thousands of dollars. I don't have to fly to Iceland, hike 4Km over rocks in the cold to see the volcano and lava fields. Watching your videos on my TV is much more comfortable than being there in real life. You must be getting very fit climbing all those hills.
The volcano is now a continuous flow. It’s just so hard wrapping my brain around the volume of lava that has erupted thus far. Every day it gets closer to the ocean. What a sight that will be. Stay safe.
Hi and GutnTog :)
What I've been wondering for a few days is - has the composition of the lava changed and / or its temperature? It seems to me to be much more fluid, which would be possible with a change in the chemical composition and a higher temperature.
It may be coming from a little further down in the upper mantle as it appears the feed vent may have grown wider (hence the increased output). That would make the lava hotter when it erupts from the cone. As of last week the composition of the lava is still mostly MgO and has been fairly consistent throughout. Check jardvis.hi.is/eldgos_i_fagradalsfjalli for details of the science.
@@bfcmik Thank you for the link
@@bfcmik Thank u Mike for thr links
It's as if you're looking at a scene from millions of years ago. Fascinating indeed.
Thank you for this incredible video without any artificial sounds or BS!!
Omg it's a raging river of lava isn't it?
I know right! It's amazing. It reminded me of when I went to Niagara Falls. Only this is Icelandic Lava Falls.
Wow! I just found this great video in the archive. Such a amazing lava flow!
Thank you so much for your amazing videos! I find them fabulous and super informative.
Thank You; you have been creating a wonderful stream (no pun intended) of wonderful footage formus who can't be there ourselves. Much appreciated.
Awesome coverage. I admire your efforts to document this amazing process.
Thank you for your incredible videos. They are the best and the ones I look for first.
I wonder how big this will be a year from now.
A lot bigger. A decade from now possibly a giant.
I just hope it’s still going 3 weeks from now so I can see it in person.
Olympus Mons
It looks like there will be a new peninsula in Iceland's south-western parts soon. Any suggestions for names are welcome. ^^)

Thank you for your amazing footage. Am totally addicted. From Sydney, Australia
Absolutely amazing video capture of God’s mighty power in action! Thank you!
I was watching some of your older videos from last April, when there were the three fissure volcanoes and I was amazed how close people got to them. Maybe it was the camera angle? but now you see this eruption today and ALL THAT LAVA and it just takes your breath away! Nature is amazing.
Your videos are rivetting viewing. Thankyou
Like all volcanoes, the spatter field randomizes into an irregular cone surrounding the effusive vent. It’s foregone that it will flow in other directions in time.
Awesome, thanks for these amazing views !
It is amazing to watch this volcano grow! I find it relaxing to watch. I am glad that it is in a remote place.
Something is rising and it's definitely a shield volcano
Iceland's volcanoes are also thought to be powered by mantle plumes which extend fro m the outer core to the crust.
Imagine how much lava would spill out if the lava lake rose high enough to be constantly flowing over on all side... Its amazing to watch. Thanks again GutnTog be safe, God be with you. Amen
I'm on the top of the world
looking down at creation and the only explanation I can find,
Is the lava that flows
and the sulfer that it blows,
Makes me wish I lived in O-longapo. (Carpenters)
That whole area looks just like Mordor, and Mt. Doom from Lord Of The Rings.
Adding the Mordor, Nazgul, and Sauron themes from the Lord Of The Rings soundtrack as background music for these videos, would fit the mood perfectly.
Which tune?
Well, Mordor was sorcerer created, this is the land growing, dangerous yes, but not evil 🌿
Please, we can do without the doom-and-gloom evil-overhang soundtrack. Maybe trying a different mood would fit perfectly
Wow. The speed of this flow is so impressive. Thank you for posting; it can't be at all convenient! 👍
Beautiful video! The wind is blowing like 40 km/hr which must make this difficult. You are doing a great job hiking out there and getting video day after day! Thanks!
Great view from this point!
Thanks for continuing show us this 🙏
It's just a guess on my part but, at the latest flow rate the volcano may have spewed out more lava in a week or maybe since that first slow seeping start. At what point should we stop calling it pretty and switch to horrifyingly dangerous?
Never, it's always pretty :)
This is thrilling to see each time!
All that lava spilling out ! It must be leaving a huge vacuum underground! I know nature abhors a vacuum. So what will be a possible result? Sink holes some where? Large earthquakes? Landslides?
Don't worry. It is coming from deep down and is the result of the solid mantle expanding as it melts (decompression melt) so it doesn't leave a gaping hole. The mantle moves slowly to keep the space 'filled'. As long as the lava keeps escaping from the top reducing the pressure, it allows the mantle to keep melting = more lava. That is why flood basalt from deep down can keep flowing for a very long time. Look up the Deccan Traps - they flowed on and off for 30,000 years, so keep watching!
That's an interesting idea. It's not really like that, though. Beneath us the planet is not solid in the exact same way as we see all around us here on the surface. It's more like a pot of hot custard, with a cooling skin formed on the top. That skin represents the earth's surface; and a volcano is like a pinprick in that skin through which custard [lava] oozes out. So no vacuums, though tunnels can be left far underground after all the motion has ended and the molten rock sufficiently cooled.
The reason it spills out is because the pressure is too high. Basically, the magma in the earth is constantly moving (though not very quickly, compared to what you're seeing here), and at a weak plate in the earth's crust (Iceland), it can rise up. As it rises, the pressure lowers because there's less earth pressing down on it. This lower pressure makes it less viscous (meaning it flows more easily) and allows gas to form, which counteracts the lowering pressure because gas takes up more space than liquid. This then helps push the magma up, and when it reaches the surface like it does here it spills out, often helped by the gases that have formed (every lava fountain is the result of gas rising up, pushing the lava out of the way).
So what happens isn't that a vacuum forms underground, the pressure is just a little lower. And that will replenish over time, not in an instant. And, well, I say a little lower, but that's in comparison to a vacuum. It's probably quite a bit lower, but not so much that it causes severe earthquakes. The movement of lava DOES often cause earthquake swarms, which are minor earthquakes that you cannot feel even if you're standing right on top of them.
Also, do keep in mind that the earth is absolutely huge. If you have a hundred cubic kilometers of lava (which is much more than this volcano has produced - it's currently sitting at about 0.1 cubic kilometer by my own estimate, so you'd need a thousand times more lava), but you take it from a hundred thousand cubic kilometers of the innards of the earth, you only lose 1% of the pressure, which isn't much at all. And the earth has a volume of more than one TRILLION cubic kilometers.
So long story short, it's a lot of lava, but it's not all that much if you compare it to where it came from.
Just think about what you said..... The fact that the lava is erupting means there is pressure behind it forcing it up. If there were a vacuum behind the Lava, it would be sucked back and there would be no eruptions...... therefore there is no vacuum underground. Plate Tectonics has a natural cycle much like the water cycle above the earth's crust. Plates that are driven under the mantle resupply the lava below. If there wasn't a constant supply of pressurised Lava, we wouldn't get eruptions.
@@robwilde855 The mantle is a solid, not a liquid like magma. It 'flows' by atoms jumping across gaps in its crystal structure.
How hot is the lava leaving
the crater?
What a journey it has been watching this volcano. I hope it continues for years ) x
Thank you so much for the wide angle perspective. I've wondered where the lava in the lava tubes has been going.
Awesome video, stay safe.
The lava field probably would look amazing in infrared. I bet you could see exactly where the active lava flows are within the dark areas. Just a thought. Thanks for your videos!!
Your closeup shots of the eruptions are super amazing. Those lava tunnels must be huge to support that much flow near the mountain
Gutn Tog, you the man.
Looks like this lava is determined to reach the sea.🔥🌋
Has anyone prepared a time-lapse video showing the growth from the beginning to now?
Excuse me for being the dummy here, but why swing the camera looking for something to film when there is nothing there to start with? Loved watching the lava flow. Looks like someone needs to get a pole to put their camera on to steady it while doing the zoom action.
Oh man, the pit of hell. That thing has grown...fast. Nature is a powerful force. Thanks for posting, amazing shots.
I find it fascinating how that one prominent point of rock can withstand the withering assault of rivers of molten rock.
Yeah I was thinking the same thing. Must be a big lump of hard basalt or something.
Mother Earth is SLOWLY Drifting apart in Iceland. Producing some of the Most Spectacular Lava Flows in CENTURIES!
Super fenomenal great job
Any news on the discharge rate?
Thanks to this little shield volcano, I can see how over thousands of years, an island like Maui was built
This is a minor episode of a15million year old drama. The building of Iceland.
Bravo, Gutn Tog!
Lavafall. Magical 😍
Wow - when you pulled back to your vantage point, I could see how impressive your zoom is!
What is filling up the space that the lava leaves behind? Or is that a dumb question?
OMG! Unbelievable!
