I really enjoy your cinematography, which represents your dedication to your craft. Your narration is always very well-spoken and authentic. Choice of subject is spot-on. Makes me want to get right on the next flight to Iceland.
TY Gylfi, I'm no volcanologist, but I do understand pattern recognition (MIL/LEO Analyst retired). It seems to appear that each eruption is walking semi northwesterly direction, and at its present sequences of eruptions, it will reach NW shoreline by 2031. The good part about Iceland is they're proactive, they monitor via cams, sensors & sniffers, they've learned to block, guide, and channel lava. Just some old work habits in analyzing patterns of events, but for now, I think I'll join you for a few shots of whiskey from afar (NW Arizona, USA). Take care, Gylfi, and your community of followers. God bless you all!
As a side note: a few years after the 2000 earthquake that caused the shrinkage of Kleifarvatn, the Icelandic crime novelist Arnaldur Indriðason wrote a murder mystery that ranged widely in time, but the prime piece of evidence revealing the crime surfaced as a result of that drainage event. It was titled "Kleifarvatn" in Icelandic, while the English translation was "The Draining Lake." The main detective in Arnaldur's series of novels, Detective Erlendur Sveinsson, is also featured in a movie based on another Arndaldur novel, which in English is called "Jar City", and a full-length video of that movie is available for watching elsewhere on RUclips (ruclips.net/video/9GzUAHbblIE/видео.html).
Thanks so much for yet another highly informative and beautifully illustrated video! My only complaint is that ... your photography shows such incredible beauty on the landscape, that I wind up wishing I could live there! (But realistically, at my age, moving is not really possible ... I have GREAT-grandchildren!). Still, Iceland is such an incredibly beautiful country, I can see, and I do so hope that whatever volcanic activity that is to occur remains in the countryside, and doesn't seriously impact Grindavik, the Blue Lagoon, or any other critically important locales. 😍
Thank you, Gylfi. So many cool things to report on. I think it's amazing to think about the 2 quakes under NYC that have happened. Makes me wonder if harmonics going through bedrock might have started those. I've been told no, but it sure makes me wonder.
"It also drained the braincells from this driver" I just love your humor :) I started following your channel in 2021 and since day one I find it to be the most informative channel where I can always learn something new and different. You prioritize real facts and present them all wrapped up in its history, making your channel the best there is on anything Icelandic. I appreciate the journalism you do and how you hone your craft with each video you produce. You're really good at what you do :)
Thanks a ton, always nice t have you around, it's all a practice for me :) I would like to do full length documentaries some day but this is a long process, lots of technical stuff I had to pick up while finding my own style of storytelling, but I'm on the right way, thanks to positive people like you who kept me going while this was way harder than now :)
Thank you. Very interesting information on the deeper plumbing in the peninsula. This looks like it will not stop any time soon. the Blue Lagoon and the power plant seem to be sitting on stronger ground, that moves more or less up and down as a block. As long as there are no cracks, there will be enough time for evacuation, I think.
Lake Askja reminds me more and more of Taupō in the middle of New Zealand's North Island. An old caldera partially filled with water, with excellent trout fishing. Fingers crossed Askja does what Taupō did last year; after a few earthquakes, some increased uplift, and even a little tsunami (in the lake!), it went back to sleep
It's a RedBull gig they are trying to pull off from an elevation of 1000m. Might not work our, wind and more, but it's so big platform that I can see it from downtown :) and I got great shots :) coming soon
Nothing like a challenge to break the boredom with a little ski jumping🤣 As always, Gylfi, many thanks for another beautiful vid and greatly appreciate the mapping & stats. 👍
Saell GYlfi minn! Fallegar myndir adh venju. Kleifarvatn er einn af minum uppåhaldsstödhum, var i sumarbudhum i Krysuvik sem stråkur svo jeg er kunnugur svaedhinu. Takk, beztu kvedhjur, Billi.
Takk Billi min, á eftir að mynda miklu meira þarna, sendu mér kortahnit ef þú villt að ég taki spes yfirferð á drónanum fyrir þig, þú átt það skilið fyrir allar kveðjurnar :)
Today the seemingly endless swarms of micro earthquakes went on around Mount Thorbjörn and the Blue Lagoon. As if the entire island is squeaking like a rusty old door hinge on being moved. What the heck is going on down there?
Iv'e noticed this often before, it's like the whole island is taking a deep breath but for me it revels sometimes the things to come. Those Thorbjörn earthquakes are however quite interesting
I really appreciate your metaphors about Iceland like ‘heartbeat’ and ‘breathing’. I visited Þingvallavatn last November. I had the whole lake to myself as I sat quietly on a rock just connecting with nature. I could feel the gentle activity happening under me. It truly feels alive. I cannot fully explain the feeling I have when I’m there, just that I can’t wait to go back. ❤
You are living in a land that is literally still under construction. Thanks for all your videos. You ask the questions so many of us wonder about, and then you provide us with breathtaking eye candy!
Your video style is a beautiful unique mix of good information fed by actually good personal journalism and research, helpful graphics, beautiful film and photography, and storytelling. I especially enjoy your storytelling because it is imaginative in terms of how you look at your country as a living, breathing entity; and as you are so connected to it, it is deeply personal. This was especially evident in some of those first Grindavik disaster videos that you did, where your video was the one that most made me understand and feel the impact of it. Your personal sense of humor just adds to the personality. Please keep doing what you do. I'd love to see that full length documentary in this style some day :D
I love how you explained and call the processes going on as your country breathing, and Bardarbunga as Icelands heartbeat. 💗 Your photography is first class and your channel the source for quality information for what is really going on in Iceland, all done with a splash of humour that we, especially in the UK enjoy. Thank you Gylfi from England.🏴 🇬🇧 ❤
If the magma comes from different sources and fills the magma chamber, would it not mix in the chamber and obscure the source? Thanks for your wonderful channel and wit… both are so very much needed.
Very many thanks again for your update. I visited Askja in 1973 as part of an organised camping tour which included a descent into the Viti crater. Whilst there I lay down on the ground for a better view of some pretty (and sharp-pointed) sulphur crystals - and a few hours later discovered a few tiny holes in my anorak, presumably from acid gas. Very magnificent scenery of course - all yellows, reds, greys and blacks - and not a blade of grass or even a clump of moss in sight. Maybe this has changed by now with global heating? Do you know when it'll be possible to visit the new volcano, preferably while it's erupting?
I'm actually not sure but reg. the volcano, it's still no access, I thinks it's 50/50 if it opens this summer, I think it's going to erupt for a while longer but there are however "unofficial ways" to get there....
Thanks. Great information. We have been here since last Thursday in Vik, Diamond beach, Reykjavik last 2 days and now doing Golden circle. Awesome country. We are only here 1 week & have barely scratched the surface! Next time it has to to be so much longer! Truly the most incredible place on this planet!
Whoa baby !!!!! Sure do appreciate your added circles of any area you're speaking of. Incredibly helpful coordination for me. The 2 known magma chambers by Grindavik made me think of the various stomachs of cows - One fills as another empties or something like that. This video was just great making me think & wonder. Gorgeous ending !
If my father was still with us he'd have loved to have taken a fishing trip around Iceland. He was a fine trout fisherman as well as very good at cooking them.
I'm sure you would have loved such a trip, different lakes, and the taste differently between lakes, but all of them are clean, good fish to be found there. Kleifarvatn is a bit tricky, but tends to deliver might good and big fish though :) and greetings from Iceland :)
Nice to see we where in the nord 3 weeks ago and had also lot off snow but it was beautifull for us. Greetings from holland and go on with youre nice channel 👌👍
Interesting about the lake fishing. We couldn't find any information on lake and river fishing when in Iceland a couple of years ago saw 2 people trout fishing a river but nothing elsewhere. Will remember this forcfuture visit.
Good evening Gylfi, Has spring already arrived in Iceland? Totally different plumbing you have. We only have pipelines to and in my city for transport of hot water, rest heat from the power plant, to the homes for heating and heating the tap/shower water. Thanks for the new info. Stay safe.
This is how it looked here in the north yesterday, the first cruise ship came, usually a sign of summer,,,usually :) ruclips.net/video/Pbee35-iPdo/видео.html
We were stationed at Keflavik NAS (now the airport) from the end of December 1980 to the end of December 1982, my wife was in Supply under the IDF and I was in the 57th FIS as a missile systems maintainer. My first shop was an old Butler building on Patterson just outside the base and then our new shop was just off of the F-4 Alert hangars via a taxiway. When we left construction of the F-15 structures was underway, building the bases for the structures and the taxiways to them. Our youngest son of 3 was born in the Navy hospital on base in October 1981. We lived in the "tree housing" in 3 Birch on the 1st floor. I used to fish all the time in the bay on the stone docks in Keflavik and I would also buy fish from the boats when they came in. While we were still working out of Patterson we had an approx 3 quake but it wasn't much more than a feeling of vibration under our feet.
Stupid question but if the lake was created by a previous eruption, how does it have trout in it? Did people put fish in there and then they just populated?
I am glad you pointed out that the fish in the lake are okay to eat despite the earthquakes. This Kleifarvartn Lake is large so it will not change quickly. The small lake near Askja that you mentioned in a previous video is a different story, too full of chemicals from the volcanic eruptions there.
Hello Gylfi,thank you for the beautiful and very intresting video.I wonder if the icelandic people can sleep at night,after all what happend in your beautiful country. 😅 Always enjoy your videos. Good night from Schleswig- North Germany ❤
Not that I know of, "Vatn" is water, also lake, but "Kleif" is an old description of some kind of feature in the nature that is hard to figure out :) But it might be that some Icelanders could correct me here :)
Stunning scenery again! What do I know as I am not a professional geologist, but based on the bathymetric maps of the Atlantic Ocean it has a central fissure traversed by innumerable cross-fissures. The same is true of the other generative fissures around the Earth. In the case of Iceland the course of the continuing fissure is roughly known and is responsible for pushing apart the Americas from Europe, as marked by your famous footbridge. Could the magma under this central fissure under the spine of the Reykjanes be being first pumped up and then pushed out to through the transverse cross fissures represented by the Eldorp craters, the Sundhnukar, Krisuvik systems etc., not from the south (SSW) but from the NNE? These cross-fissures would extend across both sides of the central fissure though much of the recent Reykjanes activity is on the grindavik side rather than the Reykjavik side. This would explain how all the systems in this area are linked to the continuing but crustal section of the Mid-Atlantic ridge, with volcanic an earthquake activity passing from one system to another in waves.
Seems like you did not mention EQ swarm just by the Lagafell, but it's understandable as video seems to be made on April 13th and those struck on April 14th in the afternoon
Yes it started when I was uploading since it took me a while to edit this one :) but it's most like due to tension from the smaller magma chamber under Svartsengi.
Heading up to Keflavik in a couple of weeks and keen to meet with someone regarding the volcanology of the area for a project I want to develop for students
"If something gives in between the magma chamber and lake Askja, I would like to be elsewhere..." -> shows picture of bar. Why does this remind me so much of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy? 😅
Hi we live in British Columbia Canada about 800kms, inland with no earthquakes and no volcanos. My question is not totally about this subject. For years we are told that sea levels are rising, can you tell me is this true? Or is this just bs, One person told me that he grew up by the ocean and in his 70 years it hadn't changed . Can this be true? What would you say to that? Thanks for the great vids. I would love to come to Iceland and catch some trout. Peace
Hello from the UK! Yes, global sea levels are rising, but only very slowly so far. But sea level rise is a delayed response to rising global temperatures (rising at an increasing rate but still partially masked/amplified by annual variation), which in turn is a partially delayed response to rising atmospheric CO2 levels. Enough for now!
This is not my speciality, but Iceland is however lifting up in general due to shrinking glaciers, even faster the the sea level so it's a problem by the south coast, like it's ruining the harbour in the village Höfn.
@@JustIcelandic Thanks for a answer. Would you agree that the seven oceans all have the same level at slack tide. All liquids have a level surface or am I missing something. It makes no sense that one ocean would be higher than others. Can anyone explain this? Grade nine science teacher took a beaker filled it with ice then topped it with water, the ice melted but the water level never changed. The earth has had over 3 Ice ages that melted before man was here. Why would some one think that this is a man made problem? If one polar ice cap melts the other freezes, equal balance. Thanks for your time Peace
Flott! Þakka þér fyrir! Ég mun nota rásina til að læra íslensku, ég er búinn að vera þar í eitt ár! Og næsta sumar flyt ég til fallegu eyjunnar þinnar. Kannski get ég einhvern tímann keypt þér kaffi eða heilan pakka😊! kærar kveðjur☀️

Thank you. Very interesting information on the deeper plumbing in the peninsula. This looks like it will not stop any time soon. the Blue Lagoon and the power plant seem to be sitting on stronger ground, that moves more or less up and down as a block.

Lake Askja reminds me more and more of Taupō in the middle of New Zealand's North Island. An old caldera partially filled with water, with excellent trout fishing. Fingers crossed Askja does what Taupō did last year; after a few earthquakes, some increased uplift, and even a little tsunami (in the lake!), it went back to sleep
Luckily it's far away from inhabited areas, 80km to the next farm, and it's a reason for it of course

Grethingz vrom aizlandh.
I love it!
Time ago I dreamt of going there to live and be away from the rest of the "stream".
Go for it! and welcome to Iceland :)
I am glad you pointed out that the fish in the lake are okay to eat despite the earthquakes. This Kleifarvartn Lake is large so it will not change quickly. The small lake near Askja that you mentioned in a previous video is a different story, too full of chemicals from the volcanic eruptions there.
Yes Víti is a chemical pool and fish could never survive in Askja :)
Iceland looks beautiful, lava or not, I would love to tour this country and ride Icelandic ponies.
Welcome to Iceland :)
When Iceland has repeated ground inflation events I have often thought of it as "breathing".
👍
We pray for your land,hope things goes best wuth good lucky for blue Lagune.
Your pictures are so wounderfull,we like it.
Thank you very much and greetings from the far north
Hello Gylfi,thank you for the beautiful and very intresting video.I wonder if the icelandic people can sleep at night,after all what happend in your beautiful country.
😅
Always enjoy your videos.
Good night from Schleswig- North Germany ❤
Yes they do :) but this is however extremely hard for the former Grindavik residence and a story to go over later, it's to early now.
Beautiful camera work. Is there an English translation for Kleifarvatn?
Not that I know of, "Vatn" is water, also lake, but "Kleif" is an old description of some kind of feature in the nature that is hard to figure out :) But it might be that some Icelanders could correct me here :)
Was that the whisky bar on the main street in Reykjavik ? I got very poor one night there.....
Actually not an Icelandic bar, I know what you mean :)
@@JustIcelandic Wasn't a great morning either.
thank you for the information. Iceland can be a ticking time bomb at times
Most of the larger systems are on the highlands, lucky us :)
Awesome country and video
Thanks a ton :)
I enjoy the way this fella says "Welcome to Iceland"
Welcome to Iceland :)
Stunning scenery again! What do I know as I am not a professional geologist, but based on the bathymetric maps of the Atlantic Ocean it has a central fissure traversed by innumerable cross-fissures. The same is true of the other generative fissures around the Earth. In the case of Iceland the course of the continuing fissure is roughly known and is responsible for pushing apart the Americas from Europe, as marked by your famous footbridge. Could the magma under this central fissure under the spine of the Reykjanes be being first pumped up and then pushed out to through the transverse cross fissures represented by the Eldorp craters, the Sundhnukar, Krisuvik systems etc., not from the south (SSW) but from the NNE? These cross-fissures would extend across both sides of the central fissure though much of the recent Reykjanes activity is on the grindavik side rather than the Reykjavik side. This would explain how all the systems in this area are linked to the continuing but crustal section of the Mid-Atlantic ridge, with volcanic an earthquake activity passing from one system to another in waves.
Interesting 👍😁🍀thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it
Seems like you did not mention EQ swarm just by the Lagafell, but it's understandable as video seems to be made on April 13th and those struck on April 14th in the afternoon
Yes it started when I was uploading since it took me a while to edit this one :) but it's most like due to tension from the smaller magma chamber under Svartsengi.
Would an eruption under the lake be equivalent to an eruption under the sea?
I think it's possible although I'm not the best person to answer that. Prof. Shawn Willsey will do a better job with that one :)
Heading up to Keflavik in a couple of weeks and keen to meet with someone regarding the volcanology of the area for a project I want to develop for students
Wouldn't it be something to go diving in Lake Kleifarvatn to view the hot spring/vents.
Thats why I would like to get a mini sub some day :)
That view at the very start, is it a sulphur bed or yellow ground cover?
I actually can't tell, not my profession, but you can see this better in this one :) ruclips.net/video/2kHH4U76NGE/видео.html
"If something gives in between the magma chamber and lake Askja, I would like to be elsewhere..." -> shows picture of bar.
Why does this remind me so much of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy? 😅
Other people working there every day and will they get some kind of warning before something happens?
"A wakeup call for the trouts"! 😂
Welcome :)
Most of us forget that our planet is a living thing.
Yes we feel it breathing all over us around here 😊
Hi we live in British Columbia Canada about 800kms, inland with no earthquakes and no volcanos. My question is not totally about this subject. For years we are told that sea levels are rising, can you tell me is this true? Or is this just bs, One person told me that he grew up by the ocean and in his 70 years it hadn't changed . Can this be true? What would you say to that? Thanks for the great vids. I would love to come to Iceland and catch some trout. Peace
Hello from the UK! Yes, global sea levels are rising, but only very slowly so far. But sea level rise is a delayed response to rising global temperatures (rising at an increasing rate but still partially masked/amplified by annual variation), which in turn is a partially delayed response to rising atmospheric CO2 levels.
Enough for now!
This is not my speciality, but Iceland is however lifting up in general due to shrinking glaciers, even faster the the sea level so it's a problem by the south coast, like it's ruining the harbour in the village Höfn.
@@JustIcelandic Thanks for a answer. Would you agree that the seven oceans all have the same level at slack tide. All liquids have a level surface or am I missing something. It makes no sense that one ocean would be higher than others. Can anyone explain this? Grade nine science teacher took a beaker filled it with ice then topped it with water, the ice melted but the water level never changed. The earth has had over 3 Ice ages that melted before man was here. Why would some one think that this is a man made problem? If one polar ice cap melts the other freezes, equal balance. Thanks for your time Peace
Sæll Gylfi! What is your icelandic channel? Kærar kveðjur og takk enn og aftur fyrir frábærar rannsóknir og mesta húmor😊❤
Takk :) It's here with summer mood since yestarday when the first cruises ship came, sign of summer :) ruclips.net/video/Pbee35-iPdo/видео.html
Flott! Þakka þér fyrir! Ég mun nota rásina til að læra íslensku, ég er búinn að vera þar í eitt ár! Og næsta sumar flyt ég til fallegu eyjunnar þinnar. Kannski get ég einhvern tímann keypt þér kaffi eða heilan pakka😊! kærar kveðjur☀️
