Very interesting! My Icelandic relatives emigrated to Canada because of the 1875 eruption. They lived in a settlement called Argyle in Manitoba. They adopted the surname Snydal for snaedalur. Now, there are Snydals in many parts of Canada and more distant relatives like me in the U.S. Thanks for the info!
Manitoba has the largest population of Icelanders outside Iceland itself. My aunt was of 100% Icelandic heritage in Manitoba and the town she lived in all her life was founded by Icelanders.
I get the impression the more we learn about Iceland's geology we learn there is far more to learn than we first thought. As ever you calm presentation style adds a lot of depth that is lost by the more normal highly emotional style so loved by much of the rest of the media.
It's a geologically fascinating place. There are types of lava there which form only where there are glaciers. You can see a lot of it where there aren't glaciers anymore. Because of the unique nature of the island, it's just a geologist's playground. Even an amiture geologist's playground. It is definitely not just the currently erupting volcano, although that is fascinating on it's own. If one decides to go there, it would be worth reading up on the geology, and planning extra days to go look at it. And that's only the geology... The wildflowers, the wildlife, the northern lights, and most of all the people make it a really great destination which has been a bit of a well kept secret.
Loved this video, nobody covers this history very much at all. I had looked at the landscape there, and thought to myself, it must be huge events to create such dramatic scenery (but very little coverage, and certainly little about the impact on the migration of Islanders as a result). Very tough people, to then take on the challenges of Manitoba.
Yes wow, what a story, just the migration period was a chapter of it's own but Askja is simply a wonder that just hasn't been covered all that well here in Iceland. What I would like to do is to get good footage and ask a geologist to describe to my viewers what might have happened up there...and glad you liked it :)
Nice video, images and story! I was in Askja in 2020, driving the whole day from Snaefell hut, and can't wait to go again... You should hurry up before the snow!
Context; if a volcano in the United States had more than 1 mm of uplift a day for a sustained period (that’s not a giant caldera system such as Yellowstone or Long Valley) it would be sufficient to throw up a yellow alert and aviation warning. Going from 10 mm of uplift every year to 50 mm in 30 days is a significant change
Yes I thought the same. Thats a huge increase in uplift in short 'earth time'. If it was Yellowstone, and i lived within a 100km radius, I think i'd be house.hunting
It's odd, I tried to find what Askja looked like prior to the 1875 eruption but surprisingly found no information at all on this. The amount of material and reach makes me think there was a good size above ground volcano but found no mention of it anywhere.
Was there last year. Took a bath in Viti (very steep slope). Went there from the north, as I feared F26 plus F910 last year. This year, we went F208 from Vik area, then F26 via Hrauneyjar to Akureyri. Btw, I think on a clear day the F208 heading south from Landmannalaugar is one of the most beautiful roads on the planet. Keep up the good work ! I was almost tempted to contact you in Akureyri to invite you for a drink…
Good Afternoon, Gylfi, greetings from an unusually sunny London. I seat here in shock and awe and certainly not without a huge sense of concern for Icelanders. It is through your in depth documentaries that I am evolving into an ardent fanatic of the The Land of Fire and Ice. The wee Island is not a million miles from my shores, yet the topography could not be further apart. It is long since that the volcanic volatility surpassed from The British Isles. These islands that surround my domain although beautiful, pale in comparison. Once again, an enormous thank you.
Thank you for your coverage of this volcano system. I have concerns about the gas emissions and the fluorine that is produced. This element is very poisonous and it was part of the reason cattle died and water polluted. Keep up your great coverage! Iceland is so beautiful!!
my youtube profile picture is from Askja :) when I ride my bicycle up there in 2020 it was -5 C on the top the days bevore I did ride pretty close to the Holuhraun lava field and the floodplanes of the glacier in 10cm deep water for like 7km (came from Landmannalaugar over the F208 F26 and F910 to Askja after that I finished the F910 to a big dam) I realy love your storys that gives more meaning of my adventure I had in Iceland :) thanks
Such nostalgia watching that drive up to Askja through the rivers! I spent a few weeks over the summers of 2011 & 2012 around that area. The geology is utterly fascinating to me and I fell more than a bit in love with the Highlands. Thankyou so much and I look forward to seeing your work from there.
Wow so interesting 😀 thank you. I am excited to see what develops. Hope you have a good journey to Askja. Looking forward to seeing your pictures.Take care. From UK 🇬🇧 💙
Many thanks again for another fascinating video. Love the origin of the name Upptyppingar! :) Very interesting period we seem to be entering into. Still trying to get over, just need to save the money!
1:00 Apart from the impressive desert around, Herðubreið looks pretty much like our Puy de Dôme seen from the western side ! I have been visiting Askja in Summer 1985, taking a tourist bus, leaving my bicycle in Mývatn. An unforgettable day. Thanks for this most interesting video.
thank you for sharing , this is amazing footage, well done, thank you for your work and dedication , footage is always better when it comes with explanations with a real human voice.
Thank you for this video. Wow! Stunning scenery, and a really interesting story behind it. I love how you cover the history of a place, putting current events into context. I had no idea about the wave of icelandic emigrants in the aftermath of the eruption, but it makes total sense!
your videos are so interesting. I would love to return to Iceland to see more of the wild places. I didn't know the Iceland connection but to Gimli, but recognised the name from the story of the "Gimli Glider", a B767 jet that ran out of fuel and landed on a decommissioned runway where a drag race event was in progress with many people present.
Thank you again for your clear and informative video. There is SO much to learn about Iceland and its geography...a country undergoing constant change. Fascinating and scary in equal measures.
There'll be plenty of time to edit and craft your work when the snow comes, I look forward to seeing what you post! Safe travels and greetings from the land of sheep and mines :)
Thankyou for the Gimli…seen a lot of talk just couldn’t figure it out til now. Got it now…theses things come together sometimes! Sub’d as such for informative behaviour! 👍😎
Iceland is such an amazing and beautiful country. Someday I would love to visit, but not while covid is an issue. There will always be wonderful things to see there!
Great presentation. Now I can speak a word of Icelandic, uppty mean up, I’ll remember that! It seems like we are hearing of more and more volcanic activity around the world?
I'm relatively sure that it is 'upp' which means 'up'. 'Typping' must be derived from 'toppur' which means 'top'. Its present-day meaning is probably younger than the place name.
All the signs are there with such a huge landslide (and the previous history)...I watched the build up to the Bardarbunga eruption as it appeared at Holuhran, but I so quickly forgot that the quakes had trended north through Askja. I noticed two deep earthquakes there on Saturday at 18.7 and 22.7 km (which perhaps could be some movement in magma...along with the other recent quakes). The volcano's are literally queuing up at the moment. I didn't know that Eyjafjallajökull eruption, had built through those injection phases so I learnt something today..it was that eruption that really got me deeply interested Icelandic volcanology.
I say the same, Eyjafjallajökull was my point of no return :) and I never forget the day when I shot the photos in the video, felt so small beside it...but as for Bárðarbunga, my quest is a quest for to get a better idea about the complete network, what triggers what, pretty simple question, but I have not seen those information presented yet in a form I understand, but hope that day will come.
Navigator :) perhaps the description :) but I can say that when I started this journey, I always wanted to separate myself from this traditional tourist information package that I find so "shallow"and say so little and when I travel myself, it always gives me the most to listen to people who say what they think to understand their country better, so i'm just trying to do the same thing and try to give people a little sense of how ordinary people live in an unusual country, and I'm glad if it's working for you, and my other passengers :)
I spent 3 weeks traveling around Iceland in a 4x4 camper van in June and tried my hardest to get to Lake Askja, but the rivers were too deep (as expected). Seems like I need to return and get there ASAP!
Yes the summer came late and this is just a place that we have to work around the elements of nature :) But I have the feeling that we might be able to drive up there until oct at least...Good luck and welcome to Iceland, again :)
@@JustIcelandic - Oh I feel I lucked out on my trip, the weather was perfect except for just a bit of rain the first few days, otherwise it was perfect temps and blue skies. I'm starting to upload some of my dash camera footage now from roads like F985, and many more to come, all in 4K. Iceland captured me when I was there in January 2020 during some fierce storms that shut the airport down. Now that I've been back in the summer I'm looking at the 6 month work remote visa to spend even more time there. I have never felt as free as I did bombing down F88 all on my own, even if I had to turn back.
Takk fyrit þetta, virkilega skemmtilegt og áhugavert. Mun absolutt horfa á tenglana. Mig hefur alltaf dreymt um að fara að Öskju, en aldrei komist svo langt. Gífurlega fallegt og spennandi eldfjall. Vona að þú komist þangað og fáir fallegan dag til að mynda😎
There is no doubt in my mind that is a magma intrusion, as 5cm in one month is rather large when you take into account the size of the Askja volcanic system.
@@JustIcelandic Love too, got a ticket for tonights lotto, fingers crossed for me, it's either that or make/buy a boat and sail there lol, long way from West Australia though haha
Askja will be huge when it goes... the word of the moment is 'when'. Hope it's in my lifetime, but hope everyone in the area survives. Its like the Icelandic version of Yellowstone
I somehow suspect the same, and the location is far away from villages so we are lucky there, but then, we know how the land looked after 1785 so this might create problems for years..
@@JustIcelandic When I see Icelandic people surviving and containing the 1973 eruption, it gives me hope. The footage is jaw dropping. I'm sure you're all well aware of the land on which you live constantly evolving. I so badly want to visit Iceland, but i'm 51 and time is running out. Need a lotto win haha Can only imagine waking up to a rift in my back yard. Like Kilauea in 2018. Amazing, scary, but exhilerating at the same time. Thankyou for keeping us in the loop, your awesome ) x
Fissure eruptions are not always benign, far from it. I remember back to the early stages during the Holuhraun eruption, there was some nervous trepidation amongst some in the scientific community in case the eruption mirrored that of the 1783 Laki eruption, which as we know had a devastating effect across Europe and North America. The magma that feeds Grimsvotnm has a high halide gas content and most notable of those is fluorine and at that time, was responsible for poisoning livestock and resulting in a reduction in the Icelandic population, whilst the So2 released created a localised aerosol masking effect, reducing temperatures in both Europe and North America.
Is this all happening around the bottom left of ICELAND....is the northwest of ICELAND ..FLATERYRI...is it ever in danger. I believe there's nonactive volcanoes there..is that correct?
Upptypingar... I dont know how to speak Icelandic but I think anyone given 10 seconds to think about it would probably figure out what it means, will be funny to see it on the news outside of Iceland. Must be a cognate, going back to the old Germanic roots of both languages :)
Scientist perceive this as a significant landrise, in this place, and taking into account their warnings to the media, asking tourist to be on the lookout, it's a clear message that this is something, but as always, when it comes to the science, I'm just a videographer, repeating what the experts say, and "not much" is not the message we have been getting :)
Ive already "speculated" as to whats coming .. no one seems to want to know why I say what ive already tried to say publicly. They havent bothered to ask WHY even .

I'm sure you're all well aware of the land on which you live constantly evolving. I so badly want to visit Iceland, but i'm 51 and time is running out. Need a lotto win haha
Can only imagine waking up to a rift in my back yard. Like Kilauea in 2018. Amazing, scary, but exhilerating at the same time. Thankyou for keeping us in the loop, your awesome ) x
What effect did the volcanoes in Iceland have on the (Maunder Minimum) mini ice-age
I cannot answer this, I'm afraid :) but there might be someone around here who could :)
Katla is also overdue isn’t it?
Yes well overdue but pretty calm though for this time of year after the summer melting
Fissure eruptions are not always benign, far from it. I remember back to the early stages during the Holuhraun eruption, there was some nervous trepidation amongst some in the scientific community in case the eruption mirrored that of the 1783 Laki eruption, which as we know had a devastating effect across Europe and North America. The magma that feeds Grimsvotnm has a high halide gas content and most notable of those is fluorine and at that time, was responsible for poisoning livestock and resulting in a reduction in the Icelandic population, whilst the So2 released created a localised aerosol masking effect, reducing temperatures in both Europe and North America.
Is this all happening around the bottom left of ICELAND....is the northwest of ICELAND ..FLATERYRI...is it ever in danger. I believe there's nonactive volcanoes there..is that correct?
No, not in the west or east fjords, the only volcano free zones here :)
Askja volcano is going to erupt and this is be second eruption in Iceland in year 2021
The earthquake activity seems to be still on the rise..
Wow. I had other words but......
Me too, it's still rising there, fast...
Upptypingar... I dont know how to speak Icelandic but I think anyone given 10 seconds to think about it would probably figure out what it means, will be funny to see it on the news outside of Iceland. Must be a cognate, going back to the old Germanic roots of both languages :)
Weird is what they got.. 😆🤙🏽
:) the only word that describes my land fully 😆

The moon landing of 1969 was filmed on Iceland and Stanley Kubrick was the director.
I'm not sure, we didn't have any studio lamps in Iceland back then :)
Dud that only 1.9 inc That not that much!
Scientist perceive this as a significant landrise, in this place, and taking into account their warnings to the media, asking tourist to be on the lookout, it's a clear message that this is something, but as always, when it comes to the science, I'm just a videographer, repeating what the experts say, and "not much" is not the message we have been getting :)
It's a lot, if this was Yellowstone, there would be a yellow warning in place.
.💥.
So let’s hope she do not erupt...
We hope for the best and thanks 👍

Óþarfi að þýða typpingar sem penis. Komið af toppur, reyndar eins og typpi, en þýðir það beinlínis ekki.
Annars fínasta myndband.
Ég þóttist vita að það mætti útsetja það þannig :) en hafa skal það sem betur hljómar :) og velkominn :)
Flott vidio.
Takk kærlega :)
Worldwide stirring is now noticed guess the coming polshift is the reason! Mountains will sink and the deeps will stand up! Funny funny !
Go
Its not that bad, yet
Ive already "speculated" as to whats coming .. no one seems to want to know why I say what ive already tried to say publicly.
They havent bothered to ask WHY even .
