- Valur Grettisson, the editor-in-chief of the Reykjavík Grapevine, and his trusty cameraman, Art Bicnick, visited the volcano yesterday to check out the new wall that engineers hope will slow down the lava stream, which will soon flow over the main road just a few kilometres to the south of the eruption. They also discovered that the path to the volcano is now much better-a game-changer for visitors! This and more in today’s Reykjavík Newscast.

Shout out to Art for his work and his excellent, smooth and beautiful camera work.
@@pokerjon7967 Nice one.
I didn'tt know the cameraman's name. Thanks. He is amazing.
He deserves an award for his work throughout this whole thing. His filming is by far the best
Ye, first class video captures and editing🥇
I agree this is excellent and outstanding journalism. And I really appreciate every second of it!
I know many people have said this before on this and other channels, there is no way the UK government would let us anywhere near an eruption, if one were to occur. All credit to the good sense of the Icelandic people. Thanks for the great coverage and commentary.
I dunno.....if it was a regular enough thing the 'concern for public safety' (and the money) would soon dry up.
I was thinking how in the US we would be kept 2 miles away at a minimum.
Then there’s here in the US where they have to tell us not to take medications we’re allergic to, and warn us that hot coffee is, well, HOT!
@@dianeroberts3161 And that packets of nuts 'may contain nuts'
And petrol (gas) doesn't belong in plastic bags....
This is the very best coverage on this volcano, especially if you can not go there in person. Thank you, Art.
You are very welcome, Linda. It's a pleasure to do something for you :)
Aloha from Hawaii. You asked about walls to deflect the lava here in Hawaii. For the most part they are unable to stop a vigorous flow. Several years ago an individual built a wall with a bulldozer in his back garden to save his house in Pahoa. The flow came right up to the wall a but then the eruption stopped and so did the flow. A couple of years later we had that massive event that destroyed hundreds of homes, nothing could stop that. Thanks for the footage, spectacular!
You are correct. I live in Hawaii as well. Iceland successfully diverted a lava flow using a lot of sea water back in the 70's I think. That was an amazing feat.
@@cb2000a yes and saved the port of the island vestmannaislands just outside of the mainland. Fun fact US armed forces loand the locals súpur heavy duty water pumps, thanks USA for that and being the superperpower that dragged old Iceland which was the poorest shithole in europe to one of the prosperus state with over and over again tops various charts for good happy safe living standards, í have ww2 to thank for me being born, USA even paved the route 1 around the country in exchange for á millitairybase on the island, so again thanks america for everything :) peace out, a random Icelander.
Aloha, braddah! E mahalo!
@@cb2000a I'm in Mākaha, and I believe lava is an unstoppable force.
@@nonmihiseddeo4181 They tried a massive attempt at building walls in the 1960 rift zone eruption near Kapoho. Here is footage of that event and the futile efforts trying to build walls to protect the town, not to mention it has legal issues too as any wall built may divert lava onto someone else's property. ruclips.net/video/2BsIm7iodIs/видео.html
I discovered this on YT very early on and many times thought, “Well, that’s about it. Near the end.”
And now, here we are 2 months later. Very amazing to look at the output still coming. Thank you Iceland - the gift that keeps giving!
If this really is a shield volcano eruption it might be with us for years.
I have been completely addicted to watching this since it started too. Mother Earth, simply amazing. Yes, thank you Iceland and the lovely people at the Grapevine too for the wonderful newscasts!
Thanks to Art for capturing another lava tornado! The opening and closing shots are fabulous!
did you mean this ruclips.net/video/jCaXTibBMOQ/видео.html
I am absolutely OBSESSED. Thank you for doing this!
Valur and Art, the 'Valourous/Dauntless Duo'! The news team we all need around the world.
And every office needs a Polly!!
The sound the volcano makes is simply incredible! Cheers from Belgium
The sound coming from the volcano was awesome. Thank you Valur for risking your life to bring us the news. You do an awesome job. Hello from Queensland Australia 💖
Risking his life? C'mon, he's a half-baked journalist stammering out a report. Don't make it sound like the guy s are supermen. You must be a Liberal.
He is fortunately not risking his life. When the gas goes somewhat high the site is closed. But greetings to Queensland :)
Amazing after the eruption all that roaring and banging inside. Havent heard that before. Thanks for another excellent video.
I am amazed over and over again. I’ve been addicted to this since day 1!!!
You are an awesome reporter.Hello from Rome, Georgia
I absolutely love the videos we have nothing like it in the UK. Been watching the volcano every day since it was being streamed. Amazing how much it's changed since the start
And me!!
Me three!
Me Four!
Me also I started watching the livestream before it erupted when they had the camera watching another valley where they thought it was going to erupt 😂
I can see the lava erupting from my window and I live in Sandgerði near the airport. Much different from when I lived in the UK. Can't wait to take my daughter and grandchildren to see it in July when they come to visit.
Art is what makes these videos stay interesting. The constant camera vantage of scenery is appreciated by us with short attention spans
I think they make a great team
Greetings Valur, greetings Art, from Wales UK,i always a joy to see your podcast, that was one heck of a firework there, any higher and i will be able to see it from the Brecon Beacons, stay safe ❤
This is absolutely fantastic. Those shots at the end are just incredible
That “danger closed” sign is so cute.
@netwitch56 it's trying its best
Participation trophy 🏆 for little danger/closed sign!
the little sign that could........well tried
@@MellenBerger shhhh..... don't hurt it's feelings....it has big aspirations! It hasn't had all the opportunities that privledged signs have, but in a time of sign diversity, it's time to shine has come!
@@annatheinnotz4901 I apologize to the sign and it´s family, and hope all the best for it in future signage endeavours, at least it is bilingual, always a good quality to have in the sign world.
Thank You Valur and Art. Great commentary and footage as always. The volcano seems to be growing in intensity and beauty. Wall is amazing. Great work by guys building it! Stay safe! 🙏
I have to thank you, Valur, for your long walks to get this footage so often!! Thanks to you and your camera team as we appreciate the informative updates. You guys are epic...and probably much trimmer and fitter!!
This still by far the best chanel big thanks from uk 🇬🇧
Excellent work by Art and Valur. I was up the path a couple of hours earlier, passing by the excavator and dozer making incredibly quick work of moving a great deal of earth. I dropped a glove along the way, and figured it would be consumed by the eventual lava flow, but gladly, found it on a trek back. The massive growth of the lava field toward the valley since I was last at the site, Saturday was stunning, and sobering.
also. - having just been at the Westman islands for a few days, and seeing the 1973 "seawater rescue" of the harbor, I'm not sure any such effort would succeed today, here. As big as the Heimaey volcano was, this new eruption is something very different - we are only a couple of months in, yes?
That's right. Volcanologist don't believe that this will do anything else than slow the lava flow down. One have said that this was just a waste of time and money.
Thanks for this information and closed up of the lava construction wall. You are the only one that understands that we are very interested in it. The webcams doesn’t show it close enough!
I heard somewhere that the goal of the wall is not only to stop the lava stream, delaying it would also be very helpful. Maybe it will take a few weeks longer before it is down in the valley and they can better prepare the infrastructure down there.
Many thanks from the Netherlands.
Valur, you are a warrior. Art, you are an artist with those amazing images! Thank you both for sharing this incredible beauty of Mother Earth. We are lucky to have you as witness of this events. I hope that the damage to your beautiful country’s infrastructure, cities and population will be as minimal as can be. I really wish we could come and see this amazing « once in a lifetime » event but it seems to be too soon with all the health restrictions. Take care!
Another terrific video Valur and Art - amazing content and beautifully filmed.
Fingers crossed this doesn't go out - I've got a week in Iceland at the beginning of September*. Come on Reykjanes you can keep going!
* This means it will be pouring with rain in Iceland in September. On the other hand, if I'm out of the country, it will be the perfect time to take a holiday in the UK.
I never get tired of watching your videos, thank you.
Best volcano viewing ever thanku
Brilliant video. The reporter (Valur himself?) is such a character too - so natural, relaxed and friendly. And so full of enthusiasm. He and the volcano both have star billing!
Appreciate the compliment. Thanks Jeannette!
This does NOT get old to watch. Incredible to watch. I'll be amazed if they succeed in getting that flow to stop with that earthen dam....
Great dedication to showing this incredible, beautiful and scary planet building volcano. Thank you!!!
As a longtime former resident of the Big Island, Hawaii, I of course am fascinated by volcanoes and appreciative of Iceland's gorgeous volcanic displays. I've been saying that in Hawaii the volcanoes have been referred to as "drive-in volcanoes" so I am calling Iceland's "walk-up volcanoes". The Kilauea eruption in Hawaii went on for over 3 decades almost completely uninterrupted. Building new land and changing the landscape, while covering roads and homes, yet creating new land, and landmass shelves that at times broke off and fell into the ocean. I love love love the Reykjavik Grapevine's coverage. Awesomeness! Professional. Dependable. Still, I am concerned for my 'friends' in Iceland the longer the eruption goes on. Be safe☺
Another interesting beautiful adventure, thanks Valur :D
Hope they can divert the lava just enough to prevent from causing damage. So Amazing how much this volcano has changed, since March.. Art’s videos are spectacular.( Almost feels like I’m actually there watching the volcano.) Hope I can view it in person, in the near future.
Thank You Valur. Stay Safe. From Arizona - We Love Polly. 🌋 😘🐶
aerial views show there is nowhere to divert that flow. it would have to stop and then back up, which is pretty unlikely. This 3D map helped me understand the situation ___ sketchfab.com/3d-models/fagradalsfjall-volcanic-eruption-18052021-73adeb1d4ed54eedb8ee8372836d965d
The final blast colors and hill shots are so fantastic! TY videographer!
Thank you Valur for an awesome newscast. I would love to be there and see it in person!! Awesome camera work.
More fantastic content! Thank you so much for your continuing coverage!
Will be hiking there on Saturday. ❤🔥🌋
I'm a hardcore "Volcan" now ❤️🌋🖖🏻
Keep it up Valur and Art and Polly!
Best regards from Sweden. P.S. I voted for Iceland in last years Eurovision Song Contest online event. Basicly Iceland won. Iceland also won in the swedish votings online. 😊🇸🇪❤️🇮🇸 I really hope Iceland has not gotten to sick from the polish team down in Rotterdam?! I hope they can preform tomorrow! ❤️
I could just watch this for hours, days and months. As amazing now as when it first started. Thanks Valur (and the intrepid cameraman) for your continued great work and reporting.
This production is excellent on all levels... Thank you.
Just to say politely that Nature will always Win it's just the Way Nature is..stay safe....
Great report again fact not fiction, the sound was amazing thanks again. I hope to vist
with my kid's this year, I will bring a bag of treats for Polly.
I haven't been following for a few weeks as I've sick, so I got a massive shock when I saw the size of it. It's breathtaking.
Thank you for this video love your reports, and watching you from Washington State in the USA. God Bless all, stay safe!
Nice job covering this volcano 🌋
It’s aftermath is pretty devastating! Take care and be safe out there.
The reporting and camera work are beautiful, just beautiful, thank you!
Great newscast as usual. Look forward to the next one. Thanks Valur and Art
They grow up so fast... I remember when it was just a little crack in the ground. And now look at it... A 200 foot tall lava version of "old faithful" .
How long back it was just a crack?

Thank you Valur and Art for keeping us up to date on your amazing volcano. The machines you showed at the beginning are usually known as an "excavator" and a "back hoe" in America. Hope the dirt wall helps. Stay safe! from San Diego, CA USA
so great! Thank you! First time I could hear the sound of the volcano clearly!
great work, thank you
I travelled from France to see the volcano on Sunday afternoon and Monday night, actually my mind has not yet recovered from seeing this. If you're vaccinated and have some bucks, just GO and see it!
....and if you're prepared to quarantine on arrival and when you get back to your home country.
I’m very jealous of you. I’m vaccinated but on half salary. So no travel for a long time.
Did you have to quarantine on arrival? I'll be coming from France in about a month from now, and the quarantine information isn't very clear..
Yes, you need to quarantine, but if you have proof of vaccination, you only need to quarantine until the test they give you at the airport comes back negative (a few hours). If you're not vaccinated, you probably shouldn't be traveling anyway.
Did you fully vaccinated? Or you take the quarantine?
I read online on Iceland tourism website, they welcome tourist from around the globe with 2 condition:
- you must be in quarantine if not vaccinated
- you can start your journey without quarantine if you fully vacinated in home country
That lava aqueduct is just amazing!
Maybe the word should be lavaduct.
@@Rwanda223 Inspired!
Thank you for your coverage, absolutely stunning. Cheers from Victoria Australia 🇦🇺.
Thank you for sharing. Unbelievable how something so bad can be so beautiful.
I knew a woman like that!!!!!😂😂😂😂😂😂
The volcano has come a long way since mini me-awesome video as always
I ordered a canvas bag today, Love the fact I will be getting a rock of your volcanoes, it's going to be a special surprise for my son who has autism. We have been watching, liking and sharing your news over here. Love your broadcast. It's almost like we Are their with you, maybe sometime after July if covid restrictions change and travel is allowed for us to go see your wonderful part of the world.
I'm sorry Missie, but the lava rock is included only in the lava box - shop.grapevine.is/collections/volcano/products/the-new-lava-box-of-iceland
Please contact us by email and we'll find a way to make you happy :)
Cheers from Australia Valur and Art. Your broadcasts are my 'go-to' for all things Volcano, but for all the other amazing things I'm learning about Iceland and its people. Thank you!
Excellent reprots. Look forward to seeing you everyday at dinner time here.
It's interesting how the lava river is creating it's own kind of aqueduct high above the surrounding landscape.
@Dayanto ...lithoduct?
It’s actually quite common. The lava flows along, and bits along the edge cool off and stick. Then another surge of lava makes more bits to stick on top of the older ones, raising the edges. Repeat a whole lot, and the edges keep building up. Every now and then the flow will surge over the edge or the wall will fail and send a flow off to the side, which cools and raises it some more... repeat, repeat, repeat. You end up with a channel perched way up high above the landscape.
@@RoxnDox Just be glad that the volcano is still small. It could (will) get really terrifying if it were a few dozen meters taller. As they get above a moderate height the lava goes down the cone sides fast enough to thin out and cool quicker, changing the process to shield building with some lava flows instead of lava flows with some building. It's that transition area where there is enough cone/shield to generate strong flows but the slopes are still too flat to thin out the flow that is really dangerous to the surrounding area.
@@timberwolf1575 yes indeed. We may get to see the process in action over the next few years.
I always look forward to your updates Valur. Keep up the great work of keeping all of us informed as to what is happening with this awesome spectacle. 👍
Great videos! Super interesting, thank you for filming it. Just incredible. Hi from Seattle Washington 🙋♀️👏
Once more such an interesting video of the volcano. I wish traveling would be easier, Iceland is one of just a few countries on my bucket list 😊
Great Footage Thank's For sharing God Bless
It never ceases to entertain me. I could watch it all day.
I hope the lava is stopped from affecting infrastructures, build a big big wall or dig a big big valley.
thanks for the info as always
Ur an awesome dude to watch. Much luv n respect from Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada.
Thanks for the support, Ryan!
Respect for the camera person :)
Must be quite difficult to really follow like this
He uses a drone

Thanks for Sharing! ❤
That soil is to die for. It is Beautiful !!! Thank you so much for this broadcast.
This was very interesting. Thank you very much.
man that would be absolutely amazing to sit and watch in person!
I rather doubt the "wall" will have any effect at all on lava movement. Wherever Lava wants, Lava gets. Roads may be inundated in lava, yes, that's part of living in a volcanic country. But losing Toast Lake, that would be a tragic development. I love the story of the lake, the reason it looks like it does, and how the Icelanders gave it such a perfect name.
Thank you Mssrs. Grettisson and Bicnick. I still have an enduring fondness for Bob.
Wow !!! è sempre puro spettacolo , grazie per la condivisione !! 👍👏👏👏
Thanks for your reports. Very well done!
That would be an excavator and a bull dozer. Wonderful coverage. I watch every video!
They need a BIG digger and a fleet of 2 big mining trucks, a fuel truck, a mobile trailer with water and a shitter, OR they WIIL loose the battle. This monster is growing, the lava flow is hotter, flowing faster, like water now!
Keep the updates coming. 😀😎
Been watching it from Maine, United States , for weeks.. Great footage , wish I could see and hear it live.
INCREDIBLE!!! This planet is truly extraordinary
woo those sounds!!
Probably the comfiest channel on RUclips. Subscribed.
Fabulous video of this volcano. Thank you for sharing it.
Great job Valur and Art, wish I was there )
Thank you for the update.
I live in the south of France but for the past 2 month I feel a little icelandic myself thanks to all your amazing footages on many youtube channels.
I hope the wall will hold !
Valur has good advice for ghosts and the undead. "If you're not in a physical form, just, like, use your willpower to get there."
He means not in good physical shape. Ghosts aren't real. Yeah I know you are joking but it's not as clever as you might think.
LMAO !!!!!!!!!
I cooked noodles on volcano lava welcome to see 👀
I want to see some fine ribeye steaks with onions cooked there.
@@icecold7088 ll
The last couple of minutes of this are breathtaking. Full marks to the camera and sound man.
Thanks for this, Valur. In the UK, we usually call those machines "excavators" or just "diggers".
Nice tour of the dam construction and eruption site, thanks for the english language coverage!
fantastic report!
Here i am 00.27 sitting in my front roomin London watching this on my laptop, the wonder of technology truely amazing.
Amazing video shots of the Volcano.
You guys totally do the best volcano videos about this event. Grettisson narrative is very informational and his accent as a charm in it. Great camera work from Bicnick. I love the angles and even from previous videos that actually shows for watcher how huge the volcano actually is.
My favorite in this video was sound capturing the eruption at 11:50. Can really feel the power of the eruption.
Can't wait to see more!
All we need now is an aromatherapy app, so we can smell the gases! Eh!
Thank you very much👏🙏👏🙏🌋
1:36 ""They are trying to stop this here"" then big sincere laugh.
The most accurate moment of the video :)

It's truly amazing when you think about the sheer amount of mass that's being thrown around with a flow like that.
Thanks for sharing your video and insights.
Interesting, how the lava has built its own elevated canal to flow in, instead of just spreading out. And how high it has piled up at the end of the valley. If it keeps going like that, no wall in the world will be able to hold it back.
Hi Pete, Lava channels are amazing things to watch - almost hypnotic! They form when the lava on the edge cools faster than the centre to form walls that channel the molten rock and insulate it from cooling. In some places the top of the lava will also harden whilst the interior remains molten that can deliver lava over tens or even hundreds of kilometres. If the supply is cut off and the lava continues to leave the far end of the flow it can produce a long cave called a lava tube. There is an amazing one called Viðgelmir about an hour from Borganes in Western Iceland - well worth a visit if you ever end up that way.
@@mikerichards6065 Well, I doubt I will make it to Iceland - I'm more the sunny beach with palm trees kind of guy... :)
However, it is certainly a fascinating country. A place where the planets development is in the making, even if that making takes a bit long for one person to observe.
Yes, I know about the lava tunnels, on Hawaii they have a lot of them. Some are really big, so that you can walk through them.
Yes, this lava canal is also amazing, to see how much higher it is than the lava field around it. Kind of fuels the imagination on what would happen if the side wall would burst open... :)
@@petebeatminister The good news is that when these walls collapse - and they do; it's not too much of a problem (unless you're a journalist shooting a newscast right by the flow).
Lava cools incredibly quickly, so it rapidly loses speed; and as it flows across the rubble of the walls it slows even further. Sometimes a breach in the wall will become the new direction of the flow and the older flow dwindles, but quite often the breach heals and the lava keeps flowing.
Even close to the vent, lava often flows no more than 10kmh. Very hot, very primitive lava with little silica or gas can occasionally emerge at 30kmh - but quickly falls to less than walking pace. There was one occasion in West Africa where lava moved at 60kmh and even reports of people being engulfed - but Icelandic lava tends to be stickier and slower moving.
If you like those hot beaches and palm trees, then you have to explore those Hawaiian lava tubes - for science you understand.
@@mikerichards6065 I guess it could be quiete spectacular if the wall breaches, if the lava is still hot and liquid at that point. A problem... not likely, since nobody with a little bit of brain will run around on the lava field now. The whole field is glowing red hot under a rather thin layer of cooled lava. If you break through that, it will get ugly.
The speed of the flow depends on the type of lava, but also on the steepness of the flow. On "our" volcano it came out like a waterfall at times, surely faster than somebody can run. But again, who would go there in the first place?
Yeah, later it moves more like slow motion, so nobody is really in danger to be hurt. But stuff that cannot be moved in time is most likely destoyed. Thats why they are happy that the volcano erupted where it did, in the middle of nowhere basically. But the fault line system is all over the peninsular, also right next Reykjavik. If a lava flow like this one happens over there, it would be a total disaster for the Icelanders. Lets hope that does not happen, and the lava keeps venting out here in the wastelands
@@petebeatminister The good news for anyone trying to sleep in Reykjavík is that although the city is built on Pleistocene lavas less than 100,000 years old, this lava mostly comes from the Krysuvík fissure swarm running NE-SW to the South of the city. Having said that, some of the city's endless suburbs probably now sprawl into the Krysuvík fissure and perhaps the one from Brennisteinsfjöll.
I'd imagine that any eruption threatening Reykjavík could be dealt with using earth banks like those being built in Reykjanes right now. Banks have worked very well on Etna to divert lava away from towns and villages and Iceland isn't short of dirt and big bulldozers.
Fortunately, the volcanism on Reykjanes is a different beast from that in the East of Iceland where the monster volcanoes live. There isn't much magma under the West of Iceland so eruptions tend to be small but long lived.
And by long lived I mean I hope it can last until September so I can take a good look!
the sound is amazing i bet its even better in person
Everytime I see you standing by the "furnace of destruction" I can't help but THINK: "R U N !!!"
nothing will stop lava.. slow it maybe..
Gives new meaning to a childhood game we in USA played as kids, HOT LAVA..!! then we kids would JUMP into a higher surface! Hopping place to place, regardless of sentimental or heirloom furniture! Until Dad got home of course!! LOL🤣🤣🤣
Stay safe! Love the channel! Great job. Great Footage! 🤗😊🥰
Absolutely beautiful. I have been following you from the beginning. The camera work is beautiful. But to see this in person must be out of this world. Hello from the United States Tucson Arizona.
Poor Bob looks so insignificant now 😀
