RVK Newscast #88: The Geldingadal’s Volcano May Last For Years
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 сен 2024
- The basalt lava from the volcano at Geldingadalir comes from a deeper place than any that has come from volcanoes in that area for over seven millenia. It arrives from around 20 kilometres deep, meaning-as one scientist said-that this is like having an express connection to the centre of the earth.
And this volcano could be here to stay. Scientists are saying now that it could be an effusive eruption, and historically some of those have gone on for decades. This-and more-in our latest newscast.

Wow, so much has been changed already since your last video!
Please keep making update-video's like this. This volcano is a beauty!
THE FLOOR IS LAVA! :D
I'm in America. I had no idea that this week I would be watching a newsperson from Iceland and absolutely loving it. I don't know if newspeople in Iceland are all like this guy but I love his personality and the way he reports his news stories. Even his dog is adorable and entertaining. The camera man does such a great job. He always positions the camera in the most interesting angle possible and how he walks through this terrain and the wind while keeping the camera steady I'll never know but it's great to be watching something moving without getting motion sick.
Whether this volcano keeps going or stops, I will still be taking the time to watch this everyday just because it's so interesting to see how people are that live in a county so far away from me. I am so glad that forever reason that RUclips recommended a video of this team a few days ago. I am hooked!!! Great work all of you. I hope you get rich from your RUclips channel. You and your team deserve it!!!
Me too! I agree from North Carolina. I'll be there as soon as my passport comes thru! So excited! Got my second shot today! Sending a scratch behind the ears and a good cuddle to Polly!
Same here , I'm from Quebec and find it fascinating !
I watched every day the eruption in Hawaii , and now I want to keep track of this eruption, fascinated in New Jersey, USA.
I can't agree more Katie. I feel the same way! I actually am going to try the Einstok beer to LOL...
Me to from Michigan right now this is probably one the 10 th wonders of the world 🥰STAY SAFE EVERYONE
The eruption is producing more of beautiful Iceland. Thank you for the beautiful and informative video!
Love Your updates. Keep up the good work and be safe.
One could easily become lost in such a beautiful place.
Why don't you sell a shirt with runes on it anywhere on this site?
Do you not use them any longjer? Have you forgotten them?
Very interesting Video. It really gives a good impression of the real landscape and how it feels to walk there.
Also good information about volcanoes from one of the most sympathetic guys I saw on RUclips.
There is only one minor flaw that is a little confusing: The lava that is coming out of the vent now is not 7000 years old. It makes no sense to date an erupting or molten lava. What's 7000 years old is the lava from the last eruption, which may be the one that has formed that ridge.
Greetings to Polly :)
Yes, this was unclear. I did this kind of poorly, but here is the article about it on Grapevine: grapevine.is/news/2021/03/23/lava-from-geldingadalur-is-the-most-primitive-iceland-has-seen-in-7000-years/
@@TheReykjavikGrapevine Thank you for that link. It really explains things (if you're a geologist ;) ).
Just to explain shortly: The term "primitive" in this context refers to the chemical composition of the lava. It means that the magma has a composition close to that of the earth's mantle. In contrast, an "evolved" magma has changed its composition due to precipitation of minerals upon cooling within a magma chamber.
Generally speaking, an evolved magma becomes more silicate-rich and more viscous. You can find evolved lavas for example in the Landmannalaugar area.
Question.
At timestamp 9:20
You are showing where the lava will overflow the valley.
On the hill behind you in the distance, there is a horizontal line.
What is it?
Seems to be lava, if i understand this correctly.
I seriously hope that NO Elves were harmed in the making of this advertisement! 😋
Suddenly, this is one of my favourite channels on RUclips. Funny, relevant, very informative - good job, guys!
Me too!!!
Always has been. :P
Totally agree m8. Hes a character
Me to, I can't wait for fo a new video upload!
And the Big Bear Bald Eagle Cam. ❤️👍🙂
Thank you for taking that long walk to be close to the volcano. You have become the eyes and ears for so many of us watching this event from around the world. Thank You!!!!!!
Valur and Art, thank you so much! We all look forward to these fantastic moments. You are an excellent presenter, Valur, and your videography is so perfect, Art!! I am a fanatic about Iceland and your videos are the best! Greetings from 🇨🇦
I share Esme's enthusiasm for your reporting and video coverage. From a geological standpoint, I think you would be more accurate referring to the CONE at the VENT of the eruption. Thanks again, and stay safe.
Valur is an amazing character probably the best presenter I have seen, no script straight of the cuff I had not seen him before until this eruption put Iceland on the map around the world. And he makes me chuckle I can't waite to see more of his news items.
The road to the volcano ... I love it!
I'm so happy for you guys that after all the earthquakes and fear of what may happen, THIS is what your island home gives to you in the end, a new tourist attraction just at a time when millions of people that have been cooped up at home by Covid are able to start traveling again.
Also... props once again to your trusty mountain goat cameraman Art for doing such a great job.
Every morning now I make my coffee, jiggle my mouse and come straight here to the only news that matters to me! Great channel.
Be careful! You could be prosecuted for cruelty to mice!!!😱😜
@@lauraarcher6996 Snake owners do far worse to mice!
“Boring, ridiculous story, and really no one cared about this valley before this happened.” 😂 I love the trademark Icelandic frankness. 😂
Local man reporting MUCH info about an amazing world event!! Knowledge is wisdom and power youngster. :)
Hello again from Wales GB, what a delight this channel has morphed into, keep it going, i just love it. Hope all Icelanders are safe and well, got some home made bread might come over and cook myself some toast, love and blessings to you all ❤❤❤
I like how with media the volcano has brought people together.
After all the earthquakes it's such a relief to see such a pure spectacle emerge.
Gentlemen, thank you so much for bringing this to my house, the excitement and wonder from England is great. Pity I can't visit in person, perhaps I will be able to visit later in the year. Compared to the volcano and lava the people on the hill side all look to be so small! Lucky with the weather too, you missed the snow storms. The changes in just a few days are immense, so lucky to be able to view this eruption day by day. I doubt Katla will be as friendly!
Long time viewer here! I’m so happy that you’re channel is growing! 💕
It is killing me that I can't come there to see the eruption, so if it erupts longer, I will be stoked! After my second vaccine dose takes effect, I'll be watching flights like a hawk!
The popular video he mentioned got more views than there are people that live in Iceland.
That was so cool! I've been watching the fixed camera feeds over the past days but will now also tune in to this vlog news. However that commentator is his dry humor is a blast.
hello Valur, thanks for the interesting news. Kudos to your team. I hope Polly is fine. LG
Thank you, and Pollý is good.
I got a shout out from Valur!!! That has completely made my day.
Don't jinx it!
@@SparkieNeisti LOL! It's snowing there right now, so I think I might have already done something! I'm not sure they'll let me in the country next time I fly to Iceland.
@@mikerichards6065 You only have yourself to blame! 😁
@@SparkieNeisti I'm a monster!
I couldn't resist. Thanks for the brilliant comments.
Thank you for upload . Love your channel. O my gosh, It has filled the whole valley . Lava lake. Another Great video THANK YOU .
Mother Earth is really stunning and very beautiful in her ferocity. Thank you Valur for your awesome video. xx 💖
That's incredible how different the area looks compared to your previous video. Volcanos are so fascinating.
I am watching from Australia. This is the best coverage. I feel like I am right there. Thank you.
If the volcano keeps going soon you’ll no longer have a valley to call Geldingadalir. Good excuse to rename the place? 😏
Geldingsfjell?
Roast Your Balls Lava Lake.
@@RogerWKnight All in favor say "Aye"!
We call the two cones "Thor's Twins" I see the smaller one has caught up in size!
Geldingadair grows a big one....payback is hell
Thanks quite the tourist attraction, have worked in a foundry, looks like molten brass when being poured from the crucible, the lava field looks very different. has grown, very good video
Thank you so much for your hard work , never seen anything like this before
For my how cant travel to this beautiful volcano, your video is pure gold and a breath of air in these weird times. Sometimes we forget how beautiful and wonderful our world is, thank you for reminding us this and do the walking and filmings the things we can't see for ourselves.
YOUR AWESOME IN coverage, information & camera work of this captivating Iceland's volcano event!👍😀. Wish could be there to explore more of Iceland! As a DIS (Danish program) undergrad student heading for semester studies in Copenhagen, we landed at your capital's international airport, but only had 2 hours so could not venture far!🤣
Living in Hawaii years lateri I visit Kileaua Volcano on Big Island several times close up over 7 years, and once got to see it eventually pour lava into the ocean! Watched this volcanos activity from Mainland wishing could visit there back in 2018.
Now your volcano has renewed my great interest and if continues just where the lava goes once the valley is filled! I'll will be watching in wonder from Missouri, USA!
Many thanks for your awesome coverage, keep safe and see you on more updates! Cheers!
I love Valur’s cheerfulness and humour, very refreshing indeed. Kudos to Art’s work behind the camera as well. Looking forward to many more videos from you guys.
Greetings from Maine! Wish we could have reporters around my area like this. Very informative and entertaining to watch! Got my subscription! Amongst Norway and other Scandinavian countries Iceland is officially high on my list to come visit now. Hopefully get my chance to see the volcano. Of course once covid is all over 😉. Stay safe!
I am so happy that you are getting more subscribers, views and your a RUclips “thing” in Iceland. Been watching your channel since beginning of Coronavirus in 2020. It’s a great channel, your stories are really interesting & your a great broadcaster. Iceland’s lucky to have you representing. Fan from Boston in the US (by the way...love Polly)
When all this covid sht gone I'm gonna come over and buy you a few beers ya brother
There is only one God,. And he is named Jesus Christ,. Not no volcano god.
Great work, just subscribed. Greetings from Germany.
Wow only in days how big the volcano has got
Great report thank you
All the best from New Zealand
mmmmm... tea made from elven nail clippings... LOL j/k
amazing journalism!! can't wait to get back
With journalism dying in the USA, this is so refreshing.
@@kerrysmith1899 so true 👍
It's a shame that disabled folk can't witness this, unless they offer helicopter tours.
where there is a will, there is a way
Valur great commentary and have enjoyed all the jokes about how difficult your place names are to pronounce. I played with a translation app and have come up with a possible name: Þú getur borið það eldfjall. “ You Can Pronounce It Volcano”
Really? Someone down voted this? What is it? Are you mad at the world? Did your mother not show you enough love?
The castration valley .... 😅
Great reporting! Thank you. Quick question: did you share what the distance is from the volcano to where you are standing at 7.07 minutes in this video? It appears the lava is still red right where you all are reporting.
Continue to stay safe. Your updates are fascinating. X0 from US. PS your covid management success is awesome. Congrats.
I hope it is still there in a couple of months so I can see this volcano maybe on a day trip to Iceland from the UK if I can get a really cheap Easyjet flight there and back from London Luton Airport. I heard it is not too far from Keflavik International Airport. Having to stay longer is very expensive in Iceland!!
We have been stuck at home far too long here in the UK due to the national COVID lockdown, I need break, it is just getting so boring here!!
3:57 I’m in Colorado in the United States. My house is at 10,000ft. (3048m) exactly. It’s always interesting to see what constitutes a mountain around the world.
The news here seems to always be bleak and hopeless these days. I never thought I’d say that news of a volcanic eruption would be a breath of fresh air but it has been. These gentlemen are standing within spitting distance of molten earth talking about how wonderful the weather is for volcano viewing and how nonthreatening this event really is.
Lovely video!
The first part of the name of the valley, 'Gelding'adilir is also English for a young castrated horse
I’m so happy to have found you guys! Your country is beautiful. Hope you are all safe.
Not from the center of the Earth, but from about 17000 meters depth, or from inside the mantle, the center is a little bit further, or about 6360000 meters down. just to be boring.
Your videos and the subject are amazing. As is your mastery of English.😁
Another good video, I enjoy your commentary and descriptions. . I think it looks like everyone in Iceland was there today. I saw someone was riding a bike there so they must have had a hard time going up the mountain. I understand they will put a road into the volcano so us old people can drive in. I see your subscriptions has increased a lot in the last 2 or 3 days, good for you . The world knows who you are now !!!
I would love to see camera setup. Drone on the walking shots?
Both I think.
castration valley.... lol i love it. i’d be very surprised if anybody actually thought it had to do with people. Castration of cattle and other food animals is a regular practice and has been for millennia. No, castration valley is not a terrible name for the valley, as it relates to the history of the land and the agricultural history of Iceland.
Before the eruption started we heard that it would probably be enough magma for about a week, and I was going to let it slide. Now you're telling me this might go on for several weeks? Long enough that I could potentially get there in time to see it? *Checks flights*
I already wanted to visit Iceland, but now I have a reason to be in a hurry. (Don't worry, I'm vaccinated and it will be fully kicked in by then). I'm coming to you from California!
Thank you for sharing. Greetings from Denmark 👋👋
That entire mound is liquid underneath. That is also know as a volcanic field because there are several fissures tied to one magma chambers.
And just like Everest, if you die they just leave you where you fell.
Thank you for showing / telling us so many unic information and beautiful and scaring landscape.
Can you feel the ground shaking when you're up close?
Great to see the route. And the Volcano is looking Epic..
People are asking you about your clothes😆
Thank you Lisa!! He shared the answer!
From ameroca thank you for sharing love it can not stop viewing
Thank you so much for your calm and rational report. I'm so happy for you...your excitement is obvious. Glad too that you're mindful of the dangers and set an example. Enjoy your volcano...such history in the making! ps....I don't think your clothes will suit my sunny climate here in Australia, but when I finally get to Iceland, I'll know where to buy :)
Thanks for the tea.....all good wishes to you and all there.
I've noticed the walk down the hill to get to the lava flow is getting shorter
Some more stunning molten Art of high Valur.
AMAZING FOOTAGE!- Thank you for all the magnificent coverage. Question? Why are the hikers not wearing masks? I am thinking about the pandemic and also the gas and ash could be a potential respiratory issue. Please forgive me if this is an obvious answer that I missed. Peace on Earth and Yay! Volcano!!! Love from USA.
The masks can not stop the virus and they have to low cases to need such horrible messures!
Oh! I see the yellow markers! Ok. But red is easier to see if the clouds come down. We have red markers thru the desert on the Pacific Crest Trail because red and orange stand out best to see. But thank you for being so quick to make a good path! That must have been a lot of work! Yay! Iceland!
i'd love to have just a few mins focused on just the sound of the volcano :p
Love these videos, cheers from Ireland 🇮🇪
Good to know it doesn't take balls to hike the volcano...
I heard that Icelanders makes great mittens with the wool of their sheep. Like the ones wore by Vermont senator Bernie Sanders.
Love Bernie, he should be President
...and Angora (Rabbit) wool socks!
How tall is the cone relative to the open ground next to it?
This is my new favorite show! I love this guy
It looks almost like the stream of hikers to the summit of Mount Everrest ;-)
Loook at 3:34
The place is as famous as Mount Everrest now ;-)
Well at least you know where you can heat up your tea.
Watch out for future vents & fissures.
Another very informative video, big thank you to your camera man for his brilliant shots.
Just amazing !!!! Thank you !
Have the earthquakes stopped?
It's so beautiful! 😭😭
I never knew that Icelandic people were so beautiful. 👍🏼🥰
Why were you askedto evacuate the area at the end? Is there ongoing measurements for uplift etc in the area? What an incredible landscape. Wow! The Castration Valley is really filling up, before you could stand on the valley floor, now must stand on hills to view safely!
In another video he said the reason for being asked to move was worry about gas, mostly carbon monoxide (CO) which is odourless and heavier than surrounding air so tends to fill in any depressions in the landscape. Humans, animals that went into a depression filled with CO would lose consciousness in a few seconds and soon die, so rescue officials want people to keep away from depressions such as the areas down next to the edge of the lave lake.
Thanks for this report - so fascinating! Also so interesting to listen to your speaking accent - at times it sounded almost Welsh.
Thank you very much.
Thank you for the up date fire and ice fantastic viewing for us in the uk 🇬🇧 we have some Icelandic weather this week
Skol!
Enjoy the snow and wind. Skál!
May this volcano erupt for a while longer (while letting its lava flow where no one lives) so I have a chance to visit it! :D
This channel is basically my favourite channel of all time🤗
Thank you so much, keep it comming🙏🏽👏🏽🌼
Love your elven tea... lol
You look at little ashen
How far is the hike and how long did it take you and Art to walk from where you parked your vehicle? It does not look like it is an easy hike for the first-timers. The weather, terrain, and distance would seem to make it very difficult although it looks almost flat for most of the way. Thank you for this very informative report!
I think the hike is about 10km long.
Great report! Also wow the drone shots look incredible. Does the photographer have a longer video of these?
He does :) Soon on the channel.
This guy is like the cool teacher in school xD
Thanks for doing the hike on our behalf! Looking forward to making a return trip to Iceland once Covid has gone ...
Elven nails?
*EL AMEN~SELA'|H| !!!!!!*
I'd love to visit this volcano, I thoroughly believe I will at some point, but it's impossible at the moment.
Watching these videos is the next best thing. In fact....it's possibly better because someone else is doing the long hike for us!
Keep up the great work Valur & the Grapevine team!
