On July 10, the third eruption in Fagradalsfjall in as many years began. In its first days, the eruption formed a fissure over a kilometre in length. It has now shrunk to approximately 200 meters. Now, scientists worry that more fissures will open along the lava pathway, as a large magma intrusion lies just beneath the cooled lava. This means that new fissures may open up, anywhere from the eruption site up to the mountain Keilir.
Due to increased levels of smoke pollution, police officials have closed the site to the public indefinitely. If conditions improve, people are warned to show extreme caution when visiting the eruption site, as conditions are treacherous. The freshly cooled lava is not made to bear the weight of people, and just underneath the newly formed crust is magma, burning at 1000 degrees Celsius.
If you get the chance to hike up to the volcano, follow Ragga‘s guidelines:
1. Prepare for the long hike. The walk up to the volcano is approximately nine kilometres, one-way.
2. Factor in Iceland‘s variable weather and dress properly. That means to layer up.
3. Bring snacks, food, and water. Lots of water.
4. Follow search and rescue teams‘ instructions and guidelines.
5. Stay clear as much as you can of the smoke and toxic gases.
Most importantly: Don't walk on the lava as it can be extremely dangerous. Search and rescue teams have stated that people falling into lava will not be evacuated, due to the danger it poses to responders.
Join The Reykjavík Grapevine and Ragnhildur Ágústsdóttir, lava ambassador and co-founder of Lava Show, reporting directly from the burning pits of Fagradalsfjall.

A volcano in Iceland without Polly and Valur, it's not the same

@johnzuijdveld9585 Год назад

@@paulienoostdam8021 Oh such nostalgia! Did you not see Valur's last instalment as the editor in chief 7months ago? He said there was no problem with his dismissal and that he still held the Reykjavik Grapevine in high esteem and that he had a lot of friends there. Now I know that's not what you're talking about, but many seem to think he was hard done by when it was just a 'business decision' by the NEW owners. Yes, we will all miss him and Polly, they were a different/refreshing style of reporting, but he is gone from us, he even said that he is not interested in starting anything that would be in competition with Reykjanes Grapevine and would probably go back to writing/and/or freelance journalism.

@mothmanifest Год назад

The shift in this channel is very noticeable and not in a good way. They need to listen to their audience. The former host/editor in chief really sugar coated his departure which says a lot. Hopefully he is in a better place with people who appreciate him.

@nicolasnicolas3889 Год назад

A lot of us miss Valur and Polly as the first eruption went on for months and they became almost daily viewing and like friends but you're doing a really good job reporting all this and it's not a comparison thing, no judgement, better or worse just we watched them for 6 months, good work though and eh, you could have a lot more volcano reporting to do in the coming years, have a fun day! ;D

Honestly, I hate what's happened to this channel since the new owners or whoever did away with Val, Polly, and the other reporters.... That being said, you still have some of the most amazing videographers and drone photography, along with pure, natural sound. I'll admit it, too, your current onsite reporter is doing a pretty swell job, too.

@jamesv9221 Год назад

I’m with you, I really miss Valur, Josie Ann and Polly. The Grapevine with the all crew was like talking to friends at a coffee shop. It was very personal and warm. Now it’s boring but ai agree the reporter at the Volcano is doing a great job.

@vronw5782 Год назад

Is Art, the camera man still with the channel? His video and camera shots were amazing last eruption. 😊

@peterginsburg2465 Год назад

@@vronw5782 Art is still at the Grapevine, according to Valur, who mentioned yesterday on RUV that he and Art might head up to the volcano when they get a chance. He said, Polly would have to stay home, because of the gas. I'm not sure who is shooting video for the Lava Show. I believe Art is still taking photos, video editing, and working on the print version of the Grapevine.

@Emel-gm2js Год назад

How right you are. Well said.

@parrattdiddle Год назад

Valur was absolutely brilliant and unique in his presentation. It was what I looked forward to in the the Grapevine videos including the non volcano edition’s. I understand no one likes change and maybe there were some background politics going on ? I’m not really enjoying the new host and come here for the visuals only.

@astridstijfs6341 Год назад

Valur! Polly! 😢 that chemistry they brought is hard to find, and it seldom gets the appreciation it deserves. Does anybody know what the old team is doing and if I can follow them?

This video must have been made and posted before access to the site was closed earlier. It is really, really difficult to believe that people still walk on new lava, only very slightly chilled! Egad! But this is a great video and provides some great views and commentary by Ragga! Well done, and my thanks for all of it.

considering they got REALLY close to the lava and then posted a video they are CONTRIBUTING to the stupid practices of those people. so...no sub today, and a downvote as well.

@ldaniel888 Год назад

So tried watching this. I unsubscribed after Valur and Andie and the publisher were mysteriously ousted. Valur and Andie were very classy about it. But didn't make any business sense. And really since then, this channel has been boring. I check in once in awhile to see if they are back or if the videos are interesting to watch. So far, not interesting although music from Iceland always good to hear. Is this commentator ok? Well, ok, but seems to be drawing from Valur's way of presenting but doesn't have his charisma. And really, it is an effort to get there and do the research, so respect there. And glad to see the numbers are up again for RG. And the footage is beautiful. But won't resubscribe. Hoping all stay safe.

@OleOlson Год назад

They shouldn't close it. Even when someone dies they shouldn't close it. Sign post things, inform people that no rescue attempts will ever be made, and have safety people greet the hikers, then let whatever happens happen. The authorities shut down all access to Hawaiian volcanoes for instance, which punishes everyone for the stupid actions of a few stupid people. That's not the way Iceland should go.

"Do not walk on lava" is the craziest recommendation I've heard so far! It's something like "do not put your head in a campfire". I guess, that if one cannot imagine himself achieving a fate of General Grievous, then he/she's basically a walking sausage and you can't help him.

@johnzuijdveld9585 Год назад

So there @8:45 you are warned of the dangers and symptoms of CO2 poisoning! CO2 is heavier than air so it will accumulate most densely as close to the ground as it can get, if fact it will fall like a waterfall from any higher point the same as cold air will fall out of your fridge when you open it, so the absolute WORST thing you can do if you start feeling tired, sleepy is to lay on the ground, if you must sleep find a high spot in the landscape to do it, you may find after being on that 'high spot' for 1/2 hr. or so that you feel much better and can go on, the problem was lack of oxygen!. I had this feeling with the last eruption and again recently, that I keep expecting to see ice cream vendors, popcorn makers and soft drink vans everywhere but there are none, are there no adventurous vendors in Iceland? 🤣 Kidding you know! 🙂

@sharonla8071 Год назад

Two things. I'm enjoying your reporting but I wish you'd put your mask on. Secondly, if anyone hikes into that area, who isn't incredibly fit, and will be out of breath when they get there, they are crazy. I hiked to the top of the mountain on Guadalupe and was exhausted when reached the top. There was some Sulphur in the air and I couldn't help breathing it in. It took two full years to recover from just that small amount of gas. It was nothing like what is happening in Iceland.
