We Drove To An Active Volcano

- Whilst we were in Iceland recently, we were able to visit the evacuated town of Grindavik that has recently been enduring huge amounts of seismic activity and volcano eruptions. We were fortunate enough to be granted access to see the effect this volcanic activity has had on the area.

As a geography teacher I am both enormously jealous, and extremely impressed. You explained everything very well and I will absolutely be using this video (if you don't mind) to help my students understand the impacts of earthquakes and volcanoes on developed countries. Can you now please do the same for deforestation, desertification, coastal erosion, urbanisation, glaciers, development and population. Many thanks in advance.
Tall order, but I have a feeling they’ll stumble into a couple of those on their adventures ❤
You've 300 odd days holiday a year, you get filming 😂😂
You actually look like a geography teacher 🤣
What kind of volvo do you drive?
Do you have elbow pads in all your tops? 😂
as an Icelander, I feel this video was done very respectfully and in an non-sensationalized manner. wouldn't expect anything less of these guys. I enjoyed watching this through their lens and seeing how much it affected them
This just proves the quality of Jack and Ethan's work. Pure discovery channel, amazing.
Very interesting and done with Touch. No clickbait, no over-dramatization, but real and respectful.
Thanks Guys
ATG FTW
most serious game of The Floor is Lava! ive ever seen
As a fan of the channel and an Icelander born and raised 20 minutes away from there, thanks for doing this video responsibly!
Cool cars ❌
Arsing round and funny jokes ❌
One of the best videos I’ve seen on RUclips this year ✅
This was properly brilliant. This just isn’t something ‘RUclipsrs’ normally make - you guys are film makers. Thank you.
This is the channel I am very excited about. This is how we should use our vehicles and friends.
we (the viewers of Car Throttle) won so hard with all these channels that have come out of it's new 'downfall'. Love the content, super glad to keep seeing yall making good stuff.
the slow and unstopable creep of the lavaflow is just terrifying
As a geologist and car nerd who's been to Iceland and driven through an old lava field, your images are still absolutely mental. You kept the geology simple and touched on all the main points. I didn't know the lava field made such a crystallizing noise.
Wonderful film again! I'm looking forward to your next adventure.
This is the most mental thing I have ever seen he says!! Coming from a guy that was hit front on and dragged side ways in a car by a lorry. 😂
Was it Ellie Goulding the woman who was there when the lorry finally stopped?
It was!@@r0b41
No Jack, no one will ever let you forget 😂
Not often you get a video that's both informative and respectful (considering the circumstances), Ethan & Jack did very well on this one. The sound the lava made was actually mind blowing, i didn't think it made anything. Well i stand corrected.
I think the community as a whole should give these two guys a clap 👏👏
Seriously amazing video guys. Unbelievable footage.
Cannot believe that this only has 70k views tbh. This is unreal. THIS is news, and it’s not even getting any coverage in the media (not that I’ve seen anyway). ATG have really done this justice, no clickbait, not over-dramatised, just a proper look at an unbelievable real life thing that’s happening right now.
6 months ago I was watching you guys mess around with an old Volvo, now I'm watching you document volcanic activity! Absolutely love this channel and what you guys are doing!
This channel has really impressed me as so different to watching Ethan, Jack and Alex in their old videos and then just Ethan and Jack. Good going guys as we now have 3 great channels.
Volcanos aren't something I'm particularly interested in, but I've seen a handful of videos in the past about them along the lines of Tom Scott's content and somehow none of them were able to convey how much of an impact they have on the landscape as well as you guys did here, I dunno whether it was all the footage or how you were talking about/explaining things, but it really put across how devastating it is
That drone footage of the bubbling volcano is unreal and the footage of the glowing popping and cracking rock gave me shivers, amazing effort boys, 10/10
On 18th December last year, I was sat on a plane waiting to take off from Keflavik airport. We were the last plane out that evening, having been delayed three hours. While we were waiting for the plane to be deiced, I looked out of the window to my left and saw the fissure erupt, right before my eyes. It was 11 miles away but looked much closer as lava leapt 100m into the air.
Not quite believing what I was seeing, I informed a flight attendant who was alright in their seat waiting for takeoff. We spent the next three hours on the plane, mostly enjoying the show as we waited for takeoff clearance. Some passengers were clearly scared. Some deboarded, not wishing to take the chance of not being able to get back home to Iceland so close to Christmas.
It was an incredible experience but yours is so much more. I know this is primarily a motoring channel but please continue to make this kind of content. I’ve been following the Icelandic eruptions since November and this is one of the most incredible, close-up looks I’ve seen.
Its insane how quickly an entire landscape could change just by a slight shift in the tectonic plates
This series has been one of the best things I've seen on RUclips for ages
dude this was an awesome video. Please never shy away from tackling serious topics in this kind of manner. Truely great stuff.
You probably didn't want to go full documentary, but including small segments of you talking with people on scene would be nice I think.
No problem you guys doing the occasional serious episode in your usual lighthearted banter, especially when it's done as well as this. This whole series on Iceland has been fantastic viewing. Can't wait to see the next adventure - you're making your own voice on RUclips, that's excellent, thank you!
Aloha guys , Thanks for taking us along on this Awe Inspiring journey , the drone footage was spectacular. I'm an EX Pat living on the Big Island of Hawaii & that footage is identical to what we had over here in 2018 when Kilauea erupted , fissures destroyed homes and one of the most beautiful beaches was gone forever . The Lava flow looks identical , thanks again from Hawaii .
Much respect for the sensitivity you both showed in this video, as well as well as taking the time to explain. I knew about the eruptions but I had no idea about the massive amount of earthworks they had put in.
I can see why you made this a separate video from the rest of the Iceland trip
I really enjoyed this video. Yes it's a more serious one but having this kind of quality content in amongst your other, more familiar, quality stuff is a welcome change of pace.
I've never heard lava before! I'd never even considered the fact that it'd make noise. Nothing I have ever watch has mentioned it or explained everything so well. Fantastic video
Makes me think, that has to be similar to what glaciers sounded like. That's a noise some of our ancestors would have had to hear and fear.. Incredible recording.
I love a channel that can do lighthearted but then mix it with some more serious and interesting videos. Keep it upn
This was a legit piece of journalism, great work and great footage.
The sounds the lava flow was making are unreal. Very disconcerting, not just to see the earth itself bubble and boil but to hear it. Great work.
A master piece in documentary video, all the facts explained in a simple interesting manor with total empathy for the former inhabitants of Grindavik. Jack’s one liners always crack me up but as you have shown there is a time and a place. Ethan’s 20 years at CT in an editorial role were not wasted.
I love how you guys do something else from the others. It’s not only a motor channel like every other, but you bring a story and adventure to the table. Well done guys!
Six videos in, and you are the best 'car' channel on youtube. Amazing.
Loving the work of this channel. Not only is it leaning into Jack and Ethan's strength's, rather than just trying to replicate the AA and TDC formula, but in doing so it opens up to a whole new audience and broader, more exciting opportunities. This whole Iceland adventure was epic and I look forward to much more like it. I'd happily watch this channel just for the adventuring and camaraderie, completely independent of a love for cars too.
Mates, I know this is a departure for the content you've been making for a number of years now, but you really nailed the quality here. Emotional, educational, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Very well done!
Fantastic drone footage of the volcano!
lads, im so glad you both decided to start this channel, its superb. keep up the good work
Ethan and jack, keep up the good work, so happy your both still making videos
I'm used to enjoying your light hearted videos, but this was a genuinely great, serious video! Well done!
My wife will be in Iceland from tomorrow until next Saturday. They were due to go to that area. I’ve told her not to be looking forward to it….i’ll show her this 😂
I've watched you guys since car throttle days with Alex and always enjoyed the content and banter . I still watch Alex and now you both have your own channel its brilliant. The fact that its something different is cool , there are literally no limits to what you both can do . Keep it up lads, I'm looking forward to seeing more in the future . 👍🏻
Guys… what a video. That was an amazing personal view of the devastation the volcanos and earth quakes are causing. You really told the story well, and gave great account of people’s life there.
Looking forward to more videos from you, hope this new channel works out for you
I’ve spent some time in Grindavík and it breaks my heart. A wonderful town, wonderful residents. Wonderful country 🇮🇸
Out of the auto Alex umbrella, jack and Ethan are 100% the right two presenters to document such an amazing country, and such educational information. Glad to see this kind of content! Although not my normal go to kind of RUclips video, I still thoroughly enjoyed the content! Keep it up lads!
I happened to be in Iceland when the eyjafjallajökull eruption happened. We were due to be trekking over it so had to divert. Went back a few years latter and trekked over the new landscape which could have been a different planet. Iceland is an amazing place and the people are wonderfully resilient and resourceful. This is a great video that shows your wonder at what you are seeing and sensitively portrays the human side of the situation. Well done!!
10th Of november i was in that town evacuating people as a Search and Rescue Personnel. The Search and rescue team in that town house was moving back and forward from the shakes with a lot of people inside it was crazy.
I'm really enjoying the alternative side of car enjoyment...the ability to get from A To B even through the most extreme conditions and also the ability for the local people to just work around the force's of mother nature
Wow, amazing video Jack & Ethan! Viewing nature's fury is humbling. When i was a kid, we visited the Mt St Helens site a year or two after its eruption in 1982. The devastation was immense, even a year or two later. Something ill never forget seeing.
This is extraordinary , what a video. The drone footage of the active crater, and standing next to ever-moving lava flow, were incredible. And then the town itself was just something you can't really imagine living in the UK.
Been to Iceland before and it is truly spectacular. I do still find it mad that you can be in bed and then by lunchtime be like in the Alps or in Iceland I totally get where Ethan is coming from.
My god I wasn't prepared for this. This is really mentally intense and challenging
Loving this alterative side to the world of automotive journalism
Great video this, a thought provoking change of pace and I think possibly more impactful it being presented by you two who we’re more used to watching arsing about. Double thumbs up from me👍👍
Last year when the Litli-Hrutur eruption happened, i was there. And just by watching this footage all the memories, and the smells of the lava come back to me
Most of the "wow!" have already been made, which I thoroughly endorse, but what I think should be also acknowledged, is the efforts made to put this film together.
There's plenty of drone footage and pretty shots of the lava, but not many videos that capture the impact this has had on the communities. Well done boys.
The fact the respect the traffic signs and rules in an abandoned town 🔥🔥🔥
Absolutely brilliant, you guys did such an excellent job of not sensationalising what is going on over there, but you brought a humanising element to the natural wonder and devastation.
Journalists and documentarians could learn from you guys.
Thank you
This really reminds me of Lapindo disaster in my home country in Indonesia. instead of lava it's gasious mud from a rogue oil drilling, and it has consumed like a whole big city, the perimeters are surounded by tall earth barier like in the video and the height is similar, varying from 8-12 metres.
Such a refreshing change of tone from your previous endeavours as car journalists!! Amazing work guys ❤️
It’s like watching “Interesting facts with Ethan” but throughout the video.. Loved it
This was mega, well done. My only critique from the other vid was the lack of info (what causes a Geeza? etc..), but the best shows on telly are always informative and this is spot on.
i honestly didnt watch this straight away thinking it would just be an obvious clickbait title as if maybe you went to a small gated off volcano thats been 'technically' active for like 10000 years, but WOW im glad i watched... i am amazed at the quality of the content and this has definitly became my new favourite channel
You guys are nailing it. One of the well known reasons Top Gear had such wide appeal was because at its best it was closer to a travel show highlighting incredible places and these videos are so beautifully shot they remind me a lot of the best episodes of TG. More, more and more please.
Amazing video, heart goes out to the residents of Grindavik. We need more videos like this!
Well done for being brave enough to tackle a more serious subject. Congratulations for doing it so well.
You guys are literally living my dream, I love going on long road trips and exploring bew places but due to health i havent been able to the past couple of years.
The power of mother nature is mind blowing 😮 i couldn't imagine living somewhere where there is active volvanoes.
This is beyond a TV documentary in its clarity, cinematography and narrative. Absolutely smashing it guys.
An incredible RUclips video, I hope you get tons of recognition for this film! Thanks to the Icelandic people for allowing this to happen.
I hope Grandavik can recover, there was a lovely cafe by the port that served excellent food and Icelandic lobster bisque. I hope people in this town are well.
Finally a car show that actually shows more of the area where they do their car challenges etc. This video is truly an eye opener to what is happening in Iceland to the landscape, and the changes that residents endure. I wish all governments would take after Icelands government where they actually look after their people rather than constantly rip them off. Perfect video. Looking forward to watching many more of your videos lads 👍.
Where is the 'love' button? What a great little film. Exciting, spectacular, informative, unique, honest, and moving as well. Bravo.
I learned about tectonic plates. With these drongos. What a fun episode
Genuinely great to see something tackled in an informative, interesting and respectful way on RUclips. You excelled yourselves here. (And my son found it really interesting as well). There's room for this kind of content amongst the banter and frivolity so don't shy away from it!!!
Definitely one of the best videos I’ve seen on RUclips.
And such a shame for the residents of Grindavik.
I hope they can rebuild their lives as you said.
This is the best GCSE Geography Video Submission I have ever seen + 10 points for employing the drone
You two should do more like this, like road trips around the world going to natural wonders and events and talking about it.. Japan be a good one next like driving around showing us the after effects of the tsunami.
Happy you got the opportunity to visit, more happy you released thus video tonight
I'm so jealous of your trip to Grindavik, Ethan. - John
This legitimately might be one of the best videos I've seen a "car channel" ever put out on RUclips. Well done to you both!
you can tell this is made by a videographer..., the direction, cinematography and sound are all spot on. this is proper Nat Geo/BBC 4 quality documentary stuff, no sensationalist stuff, just respectful and interesting. nice one lads 👍
Guys, ATG is becoming my favorite channel on RUclips. i know adventures in far off lands are pricey and you likely wouldn't be able to do these as often as you would like, but whwnever possible, more of this please.
This is absolutely fantastic. You chaps are absolutely spot on with this new channel. Two requests; something to do with Puffins and over landing with Eva Zu Beck.
Very well done boys. Thank you for bringing attention to this with so much care and respect
I bet that when you started at CT, you never for one instant, imagined that you would be doing amazing things like this later on in life. Amazing.
Awesome Lads, loved every minute of this. I’m so looking forward to seeing more content and watching the channel grow, you deserve the success 🙏🤩
Awesome footage - what a reminder that mother nature really can kick our arses
The way it creeps forward is so crazy. I imagine being stuck there would feel like an eternity, yet nothing you could do to stop it getting closer and closer.
First time ive heard lava. That cracking n clicking as it creeps in unreal. Fab vid guys. Looking forward to many more.
just goes to show, it was the people that made carthrottle great. Look what you boys can accomplish when you can spread your wings there isn't anyone holding you back! so happy for both of you and really enjoying the new channel
Loved visiting Iceland, never experienced anything like this but it's sobering to be shown that we just live on this planet and if it decides to shift about to get comfy or whatever there is nothing we can do about it. Entertaining and informative video.
The fact that could go on for decades is terrifying.
What an incredible video, I wasn’t expecting history and geography, but you’re absolutely killing it.
This is such an amazing snapshot of history. In a few years it'll be interesting to see the difference and how much of the town has been destroyed. Amazing work lads
Very well made video given the seriousness of the topic! I appreciate you making this. You could have not bothered going through the trouble of setting this up and documenting it all, but thank you for doing so!
Great to see you guys post
More, just more like this guys - you are doing it so very very well.
So very cool ! Another great video on this trip. Seeing the molten rock and touching it must be quite something.
The shot of the lava spewing out of the volcano was great as well !
You guys have set the bar very high for yourself with this start. Great content.
I’m glad you did a more serious video like this. Very interesting. Thank you.
This is one of the most engaging, inspiring and informative things I’ve ever watched. Rivals that of the huge companies spending millions. You bring a real, personal perspective that is rare in the modern world. Keep at it, please, for the sake of all of us.
Proper enjoyed this.
Fairplay for trying something different and even moreso for keeping it respectful.
