The glacial flood from the ice cauldrons under Vatnajökull Glacier is something that we know quite well although we can always expect those events to undergo some changes. This is still a minor event but large enough for the Civil Protection Agency to declare a level of uncertainty until we know how large event this will become. Tonight, Wednesday night the flood is growing quite slowly, slower than to expect actually, but we know it could change fast.
The MET office operates an extensive water monitoring network and the river Skaftá is here:

Ice cauldron. I never knew. Human ability pales when faced with Mother Nature. Beautiful and informative as,always. Thank you.

@JustIcelandic Месяц назад

Glad you enjoyed it!

@littleerichsenstudios2292 Месяц назад

Now that you mention it I realize how odd the combination of "ice" and "cauldron" is...

@louyeo6571 Месяц назад

Thank you Gylfi. Iceland is such a fascinating place place of geological wonders, your amazing videos and updates keep us abreast of its ever changing landscape. Best wishes from Devon, uk

😊 thanks a ton

@quietone748 Месяц назад

I've heard so much about this volcano but have never seen a time when its cauldron has become active. Thanks for the update!

@jaredfry Месяц назад

Thanks for keeping us informed, Gylfi, and for continuing to educate the rest of the world on Icelandic pronunciation. Hoping and praying for the safety of the people of Iceland through these times of geological uncertainty.

Once again fabulous photography!

@JustIcelandic Месяц назад

Thank you so much 😃

@sgtbilkothe3rd Месяц назад

Let us hope everyone skips their kayaking trip for now😂. Amazing drone shots as always thank you for the update. Drove the Ring Road in 2018 so beautiful.

@annabee1984 Месяц назад

I just repeat myself again, Gylfi... incredible footage and commentary! 😊

@JustIcelandic Месяц назад

Thanks again 😊

@erlinggaratun6726 Месяц назад

In my West-Norwegian dialect we would say 'juklalaup'. It is nice that we can still understand quite a bit of icelandic when we see icelandic tv-shows etc.

@jangoosen5407 Месяц назад

Never a boring day in Iceland!

@herauthon Месяц назад

Sometimes they do bore.. deep.. for heat ! if it all works out.. then the heat is on.. under the sheets.

@Tam-n-Boo Месяц назад

We always love to see your new vlog posts on RU-vid! Your videos are so beautiful and you're always very informative. Thank you!

@JustIcelandic Месяц назад

Vatnajökull glacier covers 2 of the largest systems in Iceland, and 5 others, remarkable contrasts from ice and fire

@kimsherlock8969 Месяц назад

Amazing 😊

@Suzieq5446 Месяц назад

If you have to film I know you will use caution. Stay safe..

@JustIcelandic Месяц назад

Thanks, will do :)

@kitebarbie Месяц назад

When Vatnajokl (pardon my spelling) erupted sometime around 2003 or so maybe? I can’t remember the year, but a (Fox) News “meteorologist” in the US reporting on the incident said it is ”impossible to believe that such a cold place could have a volcano”… LOL… I nearly fell out of my chair laughing at the doofus comment. Par for that channel, but still. I always think of this when this volcanic system is mentioned. thought you’d enjoy a chuckle. Thank you for your video! Beautiful beautiful landscape… and stay safe.

@busydadscooking001 Месяц назад

maybe said x-pert would like to contemplate that our planet inside is really hot and mostly a liquid, and we just happen to live on an eggshell exterior that has cooled solid next to space. poke it too deep and there's definitely something hot and melty waiting to come up.

@BellaBarossa Месяц назад

I think Grimsvotn erupted in 2005? And again in 2011. I often shake my head at the poor reporting volcanic eruptions can get when it's clear that geologists have not been consulted. (Can we just stop reporters from referring to ash clouds as 'smoke'? I'd cringe less 😂) Reporting on the Icelandic volcanoes is particularly entertaining, as nobody seems to know how to pronounce them. 😊

@Dragrath1 Месяц назад

@@busydadscooking001 While really very hot the inside of the Earth, only a small bit is molten because the high pressures generally keep the mantle solid except where decompression allows the uppermost layers of the mantle to melt or alternatively additional heat and compositional melt changes i.e. water infiltrating above a subduction zone into the overlying mantle wedge and lowering the melting point of the rock. But as for the general point yeah hot stuff comes out all the time in cold places as both Iceland and western Antarctica are volcanically active not to mention that you have subduction in the Aleutians and Kamchatka lol.

@eirintowne Месяц назад

It could almost have made sense in reverse; that such a volcanic place could have a huge glacier on top of it, But even that question reveals that a person doesn't understand the difference between weather, climate and tectonic activity, and then there's the interaction of volcanic and tectonic activity on top of that. Such people seem to lack the impulse to ask the wonderful question "Why?", probably due to how they were raised. I keep asking why about so many things, and it is always fascinating to learn the chains of events leading to things like jøkulhlaup!

@M6Cabriolet Месяц назад

🤣🤣 things that never happened for $1000 Alex. No meteorologist said this. You are just trying to bash Fox with your idiotic ideologies wherever you can. Otherwise you wouldn’t say “par for the channel”. Keep your bs politics out of such a nice and informative channel.

@Darkeyedgem Месяц назад

Grindavik started again. It looks huge!

@Rennrogue Месяц назад

Thank you for another beautiful update as always!

@Anne_Umphrey Месяц назад

Thank you Gylfi for staying on top of all that is going on, or may happen.

@MikeGreenwood51 Месяц назад

Just to let all know here that the Sundanuka Eruption has starded again August 22nd 2024 Friday. Another big eruption just starting.

@johnmeneses7039 Месяц назад

Hi Gylfie. The next eruption has just started a few hours ago. I know you will be eager to get there, but be careful and drive safe. Stay well my Icelandic friend!!

@timothyflynn2218 Месяц назад

Thank you! There were so many beautiful scenes in this video!

@JustIcelandic Месяц назад

Thank you too 👍

3:54 I knew the puns would begin to trickle into the text. Stream into our consciousness, and reduce us to groaning puddles....

@throughthewindowpane Месяц назад

A few weeks ago, the ringroad around Vik was also washed away. Was that the same activity as you described here? Or another volcano / glacier?

@yomogami4561 Месяц назад

wow that was fascinating information on the glacier gylfi and wonderful footage best of luck to your country

@JustIcelandic Месяц назад

Many thanks!

@fire_n_ice1984 Месяц назад

We just had our annual glacial outburst flood here in AK. Flooded 100 plus homes. Largest flood so far.

@JustIcelandic Месяц назад

Good luck to you all from Iceland...

@CricketsBay Месяц назад

Over 300 homes flooded in Juneau, Alaska. And it's going to happen every year until a solution is implemented for the glacial lake that now forms in the basin every Summer due to the receding glacier. Lots of of talk by the city council, but no action yet.

@bartjes2509 Месяц назад

Thanks Gylfi. As I'm following events in Grindavik, I also knew about this flood. In fact we had a similar flood during our holiday in August 2018 where the N1 was closed not long after we passed over it. The East side of F208 was closed so our Hólaskjól accommodation was also not possible... Hope there's not too much damage this time

@patriciamurray5189 Месяц назад

Yikes! Looks dangerous! Be safe, Gylfi!

@JustIcelandic Месяц назад

Thanks and welcome

@kenstaggs744 Месяц назад

It’s seem prudent not to take any cards off the table on our earth right now. Unrest is the rule of the day, not normal background noise. Imo

@Silverfurry89 Месяц назад

Two at 0.4 and a 0,5 depth last 15 min. Might be go time tonight

@matusknives Месяц назад

Gylfi, it’s happening! Good luck and be safe!

@nancyscipione9876 Месяц назад

I love you voice!! It is so peaceful. Your content is honest, factual, straightforward, with beautiful filming, and not like others: hyped up to get more views. That is truly appreciated. And, My visit to Iceland for two weeks made me fall in love with its stark beauty, the picturesque villages, and the friendly folks.

@maryfreeman3341 Месяц назад

Always something new is happening. Thankyou for the update and spectacular photos.

@JustIcelandic Месяц назад

My pleasure, always welcome :)

@johnbradshaw7525 Месяц назад

Good evening Gylfi. I was staying in Höfn & then travelled down to Vík í Mýrdal on Wednesday. As we had lunch, an Icelandic Policeman came in and spoke to our driver and said it was ok to drive down to Vik.

@JustIcelandic Месяц назад

Have a great time in Iceland :)

@Silverfurry89 Месяц назад

2.2mag hit and a shallow at just 0.2

@TuhTuhPAH Месяц назад

That video was before the last volcanic activities and the ice cave I believe? Excellent observations. You should be working for the Icelandic government or the Icelandic Health and Safety Department if there is any

@JustIcelandic Месяц назад

Yes this is since before the eruption and the ice cave accident

@ramonastrempel9200 23 дня назад

Thanks, that you travel for us and did not gave up to the workload that is following! I like to photograph, but I do that as a hobby. Please take a rest when ever you can and enjoy yourself!

Although this is another fascinating video I almost feel a bit sorry for you because you're on your toes again to travel even more.

@JustIcelandic Месяц назад

It's a bit stiff schedule now but gets better after the next eruption, or so I hope :)

@stephanieparker1250 Месяц назад

I love LOVE hearing you pronounce that glacier :)

@JustIcelandic Месяц назад

Thank you! 😃

@jcee2259 Месяц назад

If the flood plain below a glacier is known then one answer to this posted question is obvious.

@penihavir1777 Месяц назад

Thank you for the clarification and context. I’d read a couple articles, but they were missing the big picture. Good luck on how the earth’s schedule plays out for you. 🤞👍🍀

@janefinger5788 Месяц назад

Stay safe. Your country is so beautiful. I've been there twice and found it to be incredibly beautiful and raw. I am so impressed with your photography and thank you for your explanations of what is happening.

@ericfielding2540 Месяц назад

I understand that you were using the standard English phrase "glacial outburst flood" for your international audience, but I was waiting for you to say "jökulhlaup" since you have that special Icelandic word for this phenomenon.

@katesommerville7217 Месяц назад

I’ve read/heard that earthquake activity is up in the Sundnuk (spelling)? area, I guess something will happen soon/ish!

So many beautiful shots of beautiful Iceland: the village at 1.27 and the Vik area. I have been blessed to visit in the past and was awed by the unique and glorious natural wonders of Iceland and this video brought back good memories. I will be back one day!

@JustIcelandic Месяц назад

Wow, thank you 👍

@derrickmanning2597 Месяц назад

Hi gylfi,stunning shots of your beautiful country,and the shot if the lovely green grass makes it look like a paradise. But as always mother bature love to throw a spanner in the works and gives you all another challenge. I don't think anyone would pass up a chance to see any part of iceland,its so alive as an island. And i cannot believe how quickly new roads are built to keep the country moving(probably the wrong choice of words!)it is unbelievable. Here in the uk they cant fix a pot hole in six months never mind re route an entire highway! A proud and hardworking nation for sure. Keep safe my friend.

@busydadscooking001 Месяц назад

fascinating, i didn't realize the electrical conductivity of water can tell you so much! my parents in law just came back from iceland and faroe islands cruise. I don't think they liked it lol. they looked cold. oh well. I like it!

@TalRohan Месяц назад

Oh boy potentially exciting stuff...not necessarily in a good way...Do the cauldrons produce lahars. I don't know if regular volcanic melt water run off is considered a lahar or not and I am not certain how tall the volcanoes are either ...or if that is a contributing factor That turned into a much bigger question than I intended Thankyou for sharing , I hope you get some excellent footage if something does get heated

@timpointing Месяц назад

Another beautiful video in your portfolio. It appeals to those who want to know about this news item as well as those who just want to stare at the beautiful countryside. I am hopeful that the 2nd cauldron doesn't let go. While it would make for spectacular news footage, it would likely be trouble for the farmers along the river, just like that sheep farmer on the Skálm.

@organicrecreations1338 Месяц назад

Serious question, perhaps you can address it in a future video. How many ancient sites from ancient icelander's exist in present day?

@petramaas8574 Месяц назад

Thank you for the explanation. I sure hope you will get a chance to obtain good flood footage. Love the name tags in the video.

@littleerichsenstudios2292 Месяц назад

Yes, let's hope the bid cauldron waits a bit longer to save

@13Nagash13 Месяц назад

I bet these floods bring glacier carved soil down from the mountain to the lava plains, providing nutrients for the moss and other small plants trying to take hold on the old lava.

@unknown-zc8be Месяц назад

Truly the land of fire and ice. I wonder if the release of millions of tons of meltwater increases the odds of a volcanic eruption 🌋?

@eirintowne Месяц назад

Your videos are so gorgeous that I wonder if I can find a way to have this rolling across my TV screen instead of the same old google pictures!

@peterjames2004 Месяц назад

please can you explain about the electrical discharges ive not heard of this before what does it do ,does lightning shoot from the ground can people get hurt from this or is it small like a few volts ?

On a selfish point of view, I hope nothing drastic happens to that road until at least the 15th October. I've got an ice cave excursion booked up that way! 😅

I love jokhulhaups! I have hypothesized megajokhulhaups (>1 million cubic meters per second) out of the Olympics and Vancouver Island West Coast North America. No significant watershed exists in these areas so how do we have megafloods?
