Thank you for actually going out and filming the eruption and sharing your fascination, It is great that your style is so down to earth, no hype, just your own character, humour and photography.
These are wonderful videos. To see a volcano and a lava field grow and change bit by bit - hear little things like rain on lava and see moss smoking and heat waves from the lava, is just so interesting and real life. It's so fun!
@@andrew2431 They would never allow thousands of people into the area if the whole area could erupt. The east wall is by far the most dangerous now. It is already run over by lava by now ( morning of May 22), and is probably given up by now. The lava is now flowing into Natthagi valley and will probably go on towards the main coastal road..
Since I was a little kid decades ago first reading about volcanoes I learned about the Icelandic/Rift volcanos. This has been an absolute first-rate demonstration of everything I've ever heard or read about them. The life cycle of this one should be required learning in all future geology classes.
Loving these hot (literally) reports. Without extensive use of "massive, huge, big etc." but from actual person viewpoint. Cameras can give nice views but this "3D" view of all surrounding area just gives that real connection (no matter how far away we are).
I discovered myself as a Volcano addicted hahah thank you for the great videos. From all over the world, we can follow what's happening everyday, very well done.
You're not alone! From it's conception I've been absolutely fascinated and have been coming back everyday! ... well not there there... I'm an armchair spectator 😍😍😍
Excellent observations and commentary, 🙏 thank you . Please keep safe distance. One pocket of exploding gas even at the very outside perimeter of this living liquid could possibly ‘interrupt’ your amazing reporting. Best, 🕊🕊🕊
Wow! You’re right… insane. It looks to me like a lot more volume. And thanks for the explaining that the sound was from the rain hitting the lava. Very interesting and informative.
A lot of lava flow out of the Vulcano continuity, earth problem, also in South Italy we have plantyVulcanos actives today… thanks for interesting clips…
i love your voice and pictures are amazing . it’s great to just have the actual sounds instead of music over the top , it allows us to experience it with you . please stay safe .x
I have had the pleasure of watching this epic event since it"s start, thanks to a group of talented, and rugged individuals, who I give a big ^5 to. Mr Gutn Tog! You have also been at the "front" giving an informative , not unpleasant ,status report. I thank and salute you Sir.
What a good video, loved the walk around the edge and seeing the lava formations as it cools, spectacular close ups. Many thanks, how else would I ever see this sight.
It gave them a chance to do a little experiment with fiber optic cable, if it would survive in the ground after the lava has covered it... the testing cable is still active so there is a chance that the real one from Grindavík would survive.
Thanks for taking the trouble to climb up the slope above the eastern wall for the view back down over the wall. Great perspective from there on what's happening. Another great video.
@@snowmiaow Yes. Literally. Lost 40% of topsoil too. That shocks me because I know Norway / Sweden / Finland had strict cultural and RELIGIOUS taboos against cutting down too many trees. So I'm wondering if the settlers were Danish Vikings (flat country). Trees hold mountains up, hold topsoil in place. In pagan times, cut down too many trees and you'd be hung as an offering to Odin.
Thanks for all the updates man! You are the best one doing it! It’s several times per day. That’s really good. Greetings from the volcanic islands of the Azores, your southernmost neighbours 😋
only 5 minutes between the end of the first eruption and the beginning of the second one. crazy amount of lava wow. Th flow stopped towards the wall, that's cool. The rain helps to cool it. Funny sound.
My friend - Thanks, so much, for the continuous reporting at the volcano. you are providing a wonderful service in the quality reports and videos. Be safe and thanks again!
Incredible fight between man and nature ! Loving it. It reminds me of the Etna volcano where they used to drop concrete walls to deviate the lave flow. Without forgetting the terrible experience in Vestmannaeyjar, back in the 70's
ThNk you. It’s so frighteningly beautiful. Man thinks he’s so clever and along comes Mother Nature and says “ see what I can do?” Amazing. Thank you 🙏🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
@@velianlodestone1249 Can't happen. The heat & instability of lava flows are too challenging. They'd need massive & deeply imbedded supports at each end of the bridge... But where to put them? The helicopters & planes cannot fly low over the gaseous intensely hot lava, so a bridge would be over it would be melted before it could be built.
Thank you so much for your filming & comments. Would you please do your camera-movements, if you can, slowlier? it would more interessting to see all details. Gutn Tog!
Wow...that was fast! Thank you for your updates. In New Zealand our volcanoes are explosive, and we’ve never seen one that acts like a belching dragon! So we’re loving your footage.
It didn't. The molten rock is now flowing freely into the next valley, and closer to the road. Check it out. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NG2cDRvRsAo.html
Fantastic!! I'm surprised that they aren't plowing down surrounding hillsides to 'pinch' the lava flow, instead of digging and pushing up the ground in front. Plowing down the hillsides might present a larger gap, though, so that IF the lava flow continues and will eventually overtop all levees, then the lowered hillsides will be next. "Do we sacrifice hillsides now, or later when they're half-submerged?"
I only watch your channel because I think your filming & comments are the best !! My suspicions were that the man-made walls won't hold... I think I might be correct? Thank you for taking us on your hikes to see all the areas of the lava fileds... Thank you for your dedication to show us the volcano !!💞Vivi 💞
The fact that the lava is quite a few metres higher just behind the remains of the wall suggests there is little long term hope, unless the effect is to channel the lava in the other direction towards Meradalir valley instead.
I didn't smell any special smell when í went there, you would want to keep away from any lowgrounds where gasses collect, which woukd probbably smell if sulfur and the likes
@Mickey Smiths told me some days ago when I asked the same question, that it smells like it does when glass is being blown (it is molten silica...). And there’s a smell to poisonous gas as well, so one cannot be on the side of the wind.
In Hawaii the molten lava like here travelled miles under the surface layer and burst out over land or into the ocean. If the wall is breached and the lava starts down hill I think a molten river will flow out of the lava field and down the valley.
You are asking all the right questions. I am an earth science teacher, now retired. I like your Icelandic sense of humor and forthright comments. I too have little faith in the human wall. I will be coming in July to hopefully see the volcano still on fire.
Thank you for this video. Its very interesting and informative. I'll never will see or learn about it here in Texas. I Love video like this. Please be very careful and stay safe. May God Bless you and everyone in that little city.
🇧🇷 really nature is amazing. It surprises us by showing all power, grandeur and beauty. The eruptions are being filmed, for future generations to study the phenomenon as we study today. Hug
