- Iceland famous Drykkjarsteinn or Drinking Stone is being threatened by lava. June 7th, 2021. Fagradalsfjall Volcano started to erupt March 19 and continues for the 3rd month, flooding many valleys with lava. Here during the 21st expedition of mine (solo) to the eruption site we visit Nátthagi (Night pasture) valley and Syðri Meradalur (Southern Mare's valley) observe the advancing lava flows.

Best Iceland Ambassador to the world! You’re making the world love Iceland!
I agree! Like a friend sharing with us!
I agree with William Harrington. You deserve a reward for all your work.
There is something very primal, poetic and profound about the way you repreat and overlap your statements. Like the words of a song or chant. Something deeply important that must be remembered and handed on through generations. A seed of essential knowledge.
Long before the written word, there was the song line, that described place and purpose.
People earned these song lines as children, and learned extra layers to these song lines as they gained in status within their community. The earlier simpler layers act as markers for the more sophisiticated knowledge added later. The song line becomes an index of knowledge: using word association.
It would be nice to try and defend Drinking Stone from the lava: A linear dam has no chance as we have all seen, but a circular protective wall might cause the lava to flow around the Drinking Stone.
Iceland is full of wonders! And history seems to be so present everywhere. All the perspectives you are showing us about and around this eruption is so amazing. I hope the stone will be alright.
Thank you so much for sharing the story of the Drinking Stone. Because of your reporting on the volcano I am making my second trip to Iceland this September. And I enjoy all of your commentary and the local stories and information that you share. Thank you so very much and I will continue to watch from here in New Hampshire!
I love how you show such interesting things, the drinking stone is one of the things I would want to see, just like the crystals in the cooled lava and the beautiful little mosses and flowers, thank you so much! Greetings and good wishes from Michigan, USA
"Maybe I drank from the wrong hole" 😂😂😂 That just earned you subscribe. 😁
😁
I heard that. Made me smile.
lol
Was eating and had a good laugh upon hearing that lol
Spiky Feathers, reminded me of my first marriage, wrong hole indeed!
I'm learning so much about volcanoes and now about Iceland thanks to you. Maybe you should change careers and start uploading visitor, history and nature documentaries to RUclips. I find your videos really interesting and informative. I wonder how there is always water in the stones.
Thank Ypu for the amazing footage and information you share to all around this World. I appreciate you.
Thanks for the piece of history. The drinking hole would probably be equal to height of head….sheep, horse, human, unless you want to lift up each sheep. ;)
Thank you for your videos. Greetings again from South Africa 🇿🇦
You show us so many neat things. Thank you.
I love how you know all the historic tales and information. That makes your vlogs so much more than just entertaining! You could be a tourist guide.
I learn something tonight, thank you !
Having lived there for eight years and knowing how pure their water is, I would drink from it.☺️
Even you saw it now?
Your videos are just the best - so informative. You really give us a perspective like we are there. I’ve been watching since almost the beginning. Im so glad I found your videos. Thank you for doing such a great job.
Wow... thanks so much for sharing this wonderful place. I pray to God to save it from the lava
From the looks of it, Drykkjarsteinn is the result of a previous and ancient lava flow. It even looks like some of the block currently being carried by the lava flow. How long have stories been told about this formation? I'm wondering if it is the result of the eruption 900 years ago.
Thank you for sharing about the importance of, and threat to, Iceland's "magic" and spiritual Drinking Stone. Listening to you sadly and proudly explain the huge stone's special and unique history intrigued me. When you drank water from one of the mysterious holes, it touched my heart, knowing it's possibly/probably the last time. I cried when I told my roommate about the Drinking Stone and how it always has water even in the middle of nowhere. I wish there was SOMETHING that could be done to save it if/when the lava is about go bury it. Maybe, after the ground cools, a memorial statue, the size and shape of the rock, could be built on that site along with an explanation of it's history and meaning.
I have watched many of your, always interesting, videos and live presentations; you have a good sense of humor, too. I have watched this amazing and mesmerizing volcano since the second day of it's life. No one could have imagined all of the volcano's metamorphosis'. I love that the magma comes directly from "the center of the Earth!" This makes it even more special! I wish I had a nice piece of the blue glass lava to use in a piece of jewelry! I don't see that type of lava any more. I missed out on getting a piece of the lava when I bought the volcano merchandise (I assume it's gone).
Anyway, take care and stay safe.
@GutnTog have you considered interviewing the Svartsengi Geothermal Power Plant to ask if they are concerned that their plant may become a new fissure
Awesome. Look for your videos first thing every day here in florida. Thank you
Love this detail! Thank you and stay healthy!
WOW!! THANK YOU, once more. I hope this sacred site will not be destroyed. 🙏🏼❤️🌋⏳
Maybe there will be a new drinking stone created?
It was probably a lot cleaner 1100 years ago before the moss grew all over it, but you’d probably be a bit stoned drinking it now .
@Iasarith2 - be stoned by the Drinking Stone?! 😆
Boil water will soon be taking effect. 😉
Moss can actually take harmful elements like arsenic out of the water.
Very interesting that Drinking Stone story. You are very detailed, I ❤ it! You walk us through the Island like we were there. Many thanks and appreciation👍😇❤🙏🙏🙏
Wouldn't it pay to cover this in earth and place a GPS marker so if it is covered in lava it can be un earther in years to come as a tourist attraction in its own right.
You are very informative, thank you. God bless and greetings from the USA
I wouldn't want to be desperate enough to drink that.
Bring a LifeStraw, you'll be fine
@@SP_33333 😂😂😂 You first.
@@SP_33333 On 2nd thought, is there something special as in filtering or such, with a LifeStraw?
@@SP_33333 It's easier and safer to go to the food shack and buy a drink there!
@@demef758 😊👍
It isn't just accumulated precipitation?
Maybe I drink from the wrong hole!!! Lol!
How very interesting! You have opened my eyes to so many things about Iceland! Cheers from a Minnesota Viking!
What a wonderful story 🥰🥰🥰 you are my Icelandic hero that’s for sure ,wish you all the best for today ,tomorrow and so on ❗️❤️❗️ 🙏 thanks for sharing 🙏 🍀🍀🍀 🙏
Please keep us updated on the advancement toward the drinking stone!
The holes should be clearly marked so that someone ( or something ) doesn't inadvertently drink from the wrong one.
The sheep arent that dumb ;)
Continuing to "rock it" and show us all the nearby land. Thank you! 🙌🏽
Wonder if soon will be lava coming out of the stone, ahead of main lava flow.
That's so cool! I bet it was formed by lava tunnels! Thank you! I learned something new today!
So very interesting! I pray the stone survives the lava. Miracles happen everyday so maybe it will be spared. Be safe out there.
If you want to be safe don't go near a volcano.. end
I would not drink the water from that stone.
My thought was eww don't drink from that, what if someone's pee'd in it!
There is an old saying : If horses drink from a water reservoir in the nature - humans can drink it also! Because horses don't drink from any river, lake or something like that in this so-called drinking stone if it is dirty, muddy and stinky! Just a little information about it!
@@crystalaowlan Or, what if a bird pooped in it.
Surely the whole valley would have to fill before it gets to the stone? That seems like it would take years.
Your videos are the best.
Please tell us more about Iceland I love to read things and story's that come out hundreds of years
Cool video, as usual. Greetings from California.
Your island is very fascinating.
The Water comes from the Rain
It is probably from and underground stream. That’s why it stays filled.
The island is going to have once last drink from the Drykkjarsteinn!
Awesome history lesson. TY
Cool!!!
Interesting thank you
Nature gives and takes. The beautiful valleys have been filled with rubble, the clay pit is gone, and this thing's days are probably numbered. But now we have an amazing opportunity to view a very unique and rare eruption.
That stone looks like a large fossilized giant leatherback turtle.
Hi, I was wondering about the land owner and what land he has lost.
Is He a farmer and what does this mean for Him?
Thank you.
Your videos are soooooo interesting.

I wonder if the government would consider getting moving equipment, flatbed truck etc to move the Drykkyarsteinn since it is legendary? Might be easier than building a berm, although it did do quite a good job for a while.
There is an ancient monk order that keeps refilling the water holes with buckets... but has been understaffed lately - so thats why its almost dry..
Thanks so much for sharing this great slice of Icelandic life! Something we don’t normally get in the USA, and I am better for it. Hopefully the lava won’t ruin it!!
Pretty sure the large hole is for the horses
Maybe the drinking stone is a chunk of an ancient lava field and the holes are where lava once flowed through.
The lava will respect it, I'm sure. Though I cannot say the same for your other rock surrounded by mr. lava now!!
If you turn into a horse or a sheep you'll know you chose poorly.
🤣😂🤣
He won't know anything...because he'll be a horse or a sheep lol
Logic would tell us that the hole lowest/closest to the ground would be the lowest animal head the sheep. Next the horse and finally the human.
🤔
Makes sense to me!
Unless they are climbing sheep, and miniature horses. And what happens when a family of little people breaks down in the valley…. Where are they supposedly going to get a drink huh?!? huh?!?
The stone may be blessed, but the weather being foggy, rainy or snowy 50% of the time in this area probably doesn't hurt ☺️
Can stone be moved?
Water comes from the rain?
Unreal, it must filter somehow to the lowest point...thanks for showing it...
That’s really very cool!!! I guess if you grow ears & a tail, you’ll know you drank from the wrong stone!!! LOLOL!!! Just kidding but, that pretty amazing & that it has been blessed too!!! 👍🏻
The Drinking Stone! This is such a wonderful story. I hope that the famous stone survives the lava flow. Will it be removed, if possible, in case it is endangered by lava, or will nature be allowed to take its course?
There must be a lot of groundwater under this rock. When lava flows over ground with lots of water in it there can be massive explosions of steam. Such explosions often occur with no warning. When the lava approaches and passes the drinking rock it's extremely important for people to stay a large distance away from the leading edge of the lava to avoid being caught in steam explosions. Large steam explosions can launch large rocks and blobs of lava hundreds of meters from the actual explosion site.
What language is you wife speaking? Thnx GutnTog !!!
Wow!
The volcanoes created it...it only seems right that the volcano should claim it back.
volcanos don't have rights.
@@watchgoose you go tell the volcano it has no right to errupt there and see what happens.
It has the right to erupt whenever it damn well pleases, regardless if we like it or not! 😂🤣😂🤣
Just surround it with cucumbers.
That's inspiring... it reminded me of the the rock God told Moses to strike to bring water forth for the Israelites in the desert. May the Lord continue to bless your travelers drinking stone and divert the lava away and preserve it... The Lord be with you Amen
I wonder if it is possible to relocate the stone to a safer location. If the stone has such a profound history it would be worth to invest in saving it.
Is there any way you could speak louder ? My sound won't turn higher and I am having trouble hearing you. I watch all of your posts and enjoy them so much. Thank you
Very intersting
Your color commentary is wonderful. I think you may have a new career in video journalism. Thank you for all your videos.
Very cool the drinking stone. Those holes may be ancient lava tubes.
Love your story's and spesialy the drinking stone in it self a miracle. Let hope and pray the lave wil just pas the stone not going over it
If that stone were in other countries, those holes will be filled with either coins or trash.
It looks like an old lava tube.... that was pushed up over time.
I take it that the stone is attached to bedrock, so you can't just load it on a truck and move it. It would have to be rain water instead of ground water in that case. There are large cracks in the stone, so I wasn't sure.
One to keep an eye on bro
Lol! Maybe drank from the wrong stone! I laughed out loud when I heard you sip that Water then thought about which one was for people!
🤯 Didn't think I was going to see a RUclips Creator drink out of the right eye of a giant skull today...🤨
well, there's this thing called cranes & flatbed trucks. I'm fairly certain they can move it if they really want to.
You sure it's not a toilet.
I don't think lava will get there it will go around to the road and sea I think one of the camera's is around there.
Dear friend, please keep us informed about Drinking Stone.
I would like, if you could, to go and film the other volcanoes that went extinct 2 months ago. Extinct volcanoes near this active volcano,
No access, fresh lava fields all around. Go search some drone footages, I watched some.
well we now know how the lava makes tubes that carry it far away in all directions still hot
And that was the last Tog video for awhile. He will be spending the next few weeks in the hospital getting treatment for some nasty sickness after drinking that water.
The lava is busy swallowing your other stone
What? Drunk and stoned?
The stone is certainly inhabited by elves. What will they do? Perhaps the stone must be removed. We'll see.
they about to drink some lava
Can the rock be saved! For the future GutnTog volcano visitors center that I hope that they will make??? I’d put that on my bucket list for sure!! Hope they consider it REAL soon! Not much time!
The three holes are called "tree molds", this guy has a freshly coated in lava lot full of tree molds. ruclips.net/video/essemTcPyEw/видео.html The lava flows over trees, solidifies around them, and the tree inside burns up, leaving the holes you see today.
sediment turns to stone . so maybe so does lava. the stone is odd like it dont fit there. it has brown white red yellow in it
Where does come the water? From the rain, obviously. Also I wouldn't drink, it seems spoiled.
Send me a return ticket Gatwick/Keflavik and a hire car, then I'll come and investigate where all the water is coming from FOC. It's likely to require more than a single trip.
