It’s all over the news and it’s all everyone is talking about here - a new volcano has started erupting on the Reykjanes peninsula. Just like last year, this eruption formed from a fissure in the ground, this time about 1.5km north east of the previous site. Lots of incredible drone footage in this one - why are you reading this? Go watch it!
Enjoy!

This is incredible! So many beautiful images and I wish I could see it in person. Four hours of hiking and all day on the rocks probably would do me in, so thanks for being there and sharing your experience.

[@VividIceland]

You are most certainly welcome. I think they are fixing the trail up so it'll be a bit easier for most hikers. I need to go back soon and document it!

[@schildcl]

Stunning footages! This must be a unique experience to witness an eruption. I have just left Iceland the day before … coming back in March 2023

[@VividIceland]

It is truly unique - something that has to be seen to be believed. Hopefully it's still erupting for your return next year!

[@tonyowen116]

Really enjoyed your coverage. The drone shots were great. Gives a good perspective/overview of the vents and how the flow is progressing. It appears that a large central spatter cone is forming, with a smaller one to camera left. It has been mentioned on other channels that the fissure eruption would probably do this. Will be interesting to see how this whole new eruption plays out.

[@VividIceland]

Glad you enjoyed it! I'm also very interested in keeping my eyes on how this thing forms. I think you are correct with your observation - that central spatter cone will probably be the main one, with that smaller vent on the left forming it's own. I think in a few months it's likely they will join into 1 giant cone - which is similar to what happened with the previous eruption in 2021.

[@debrajakubiak7506]

Thanks so much for all your hard work to bring this spectacular view of the volcano. Worth the watch. Love it

[@VividIceland]

Glad you enjoyed it! The long hike in darkness at the end of the night certainly paid off :)

[@ceciliag4219]

Awesome

[@VividIceland]

Well said!!

[@PoojaShravan]

Thanks for putting this out Josh. We didn't bother to visit this place when we were there. Its good to see them through your videos. "To hell with the gas poisoning". YES we feel you 😀. Anything for an amazing shot. Which drone do you use and how the hell is it able to sustain that heat??

[@VividIceland]

Glad you liked it! Come back soon and check it out! I was flying the DJI Air2S - and I just made sure to keep it moving quickly so that it didn't overheat or melt. Some of the locals here have already melted their drones from flying too close to the caldera!

[@exit9253]

Wow...very cool video and what a country

[@VividIceland]

Thanks! It's truly a special place to be

[@Sindrijo]

Wow the footage at 8:10 really showcases the waves propagating through the liquid lava and how it seems to be very viscous near the fissure but getting thicker further out!

[@VividIceland]

How amazing is it?! Incredible and hypnotizing to watch these lava waves propagate through the surface of the lava pool. Mesmerizing...

[@Seafariireland]

Excellent presentation, thank you for bringing me along for the experience!

[@VividIceland]

Our pleasure! Please visit us anytime in Iceland!

[@everhigh420]

EPIC - drones shots are out of this world!!!

[@VividIceland]

Thanks!

[@RobertGlazier]

Great flying. Beautiful video. New subscriber. Thanks.

[@VividIceland]

Thanks and welcome aboard! Glad to hear you like the footage. Come on over any time and check out this volcano!

[@VividIceland]

We're so excited to announce that we are now taking bookings for many of the locations we've featured in our videos - guided by none other than us here at Vivid Iceland! Check out our website www.vividiceland.is for more information. We are now offering tours to the newly formed volcano in Reykjanes as well as a bunch of tours on the south coast of Iceland and a few in the "Adventurer's Playground" - Skaftafell - located in Iceland's southeast. So head on over to www.vividiceland.is to see what we have on offer for this coming summer - we hope to see you here soon!

[@PhilippeNoth]

Thanks for the invaluable information. I spent 4 monthes in Iceland - between Jan and May 2022, just between the two eruptions 😩! Already considering to return for a short visit to this nature showcase.

[@VividIceland]

It's worth the trip back over for sure! Make sure to check out accommodation because I've heard the entire country is basically fully booked up!

[@eivindkjrkillie966]

Wow! Incredible video, fantastic footage! I too want to be able to tell my grandkids I have used a volcano to cook hotdogs.

[@VividIceland]

I will let you know when the next one erupts - come on over and let's grill!

[@eprohoda]

Good night~so breeathtaking vlog~ 🌟

[@VividIceland]

Thank you 😊

[@davidclark2075]

Thanks mate from So. California. Just became sub to ur channel liking the style. so many vides are only drones. like the cook out. do a burger one..lol. Cheers!!! Beautiful Volcano. Iceland has been amazing this decade. Drone footage at the end has such clarity of the massive size. Well done mate!!

[@VividIceland]

Thanks for the sub! So happy to hear that you enjoyed it. I will definitely put a burger on the lava next time! Looking forward to going back ASAP and seeing what's changed.

[@ProspectorAl]

Nothing like a good charred volcano dog. Or is that "lava" dog, lol!

[@VividIceland]

I like the sound of lava dog!

[@ProspectorAl]

Ya Alhamdulillah kan, pemerataan suhu bumi 👌👍

[@dcrog69]

Beautiful footage.

[@VividIceland]

Many thanks! It's always a special time out there

[@joannekennish4522]

Breathtaking and explosive episode 😲🔥 literally! Thanks for sharing this vivid icelandic experience 🤩🤯

[@VividIceland]

Glad you enjoyed it! Make sure you come on over to take a look at the new volcano!

[@therealfearsome]

I'd love to see some high res thermal images

[@VividIceland]

As would I! I will have to find a way to shoot a thermal video... Thanks for the great idea!

[@smritiagarwalachhajer9306]

How long you think this will last. I am visiting Iceland on 26 aug. Will it still be erupting.?

[@VividIceland]

All indications show that it will continue erupting for sometime. I would be very surprised if it stopped before your arrival... but Mother Nature can have plans of her own!

[@nosondre]

Nice sweater

[@VividIceland]

Thanks mate! Bought this one with my first paycheck ever in Iceland :')

[@inarord8169]

Hot dog with a little sulfuric acid, it's worth trying once. Nice video anyway.

[@VividIceland]

A little sulphur never hurt anyone... right? :P

[@chriscard6544]

where did you get that pullover ?

[@VividIceland]

The woolen one with the sheep? I found it at a wool shop here in Iceland. Hand-made by an Icelandic lady. Very comfy and very warm!

[@chriscard6544]

@@VividIceland thank you

[@digitalmusic4803]

Great video. Next time, kindly don t put music hiding the sounds when you say there is some volcano sound to be heard, ok?

[@MoveFaster]

Next time bring barbecue with you. I'm serious

[@VividIceland]

Can do! I'll see how much I can cook out there...

[@IamaFungi]

ITM! If I come to Iceland how do I contact you for a guided tour? Paid of course. Amen fist bump!

[@VividIceland]

ITM! If you would like to get in touch head over to our website and use the contact form: www.vividiceland.is Hope to see you over here!

[@IamaFungi]

Thank you for the website link! I should be planning a trip sometime next year. Do you have a recommend “season” or time to visit? I know floods are common. 😂 I just want a good trip!

[@VividIceland]

@@IamaFungi I think the best time to come would be May - right before the busy tourist season of June-August. Otherwise, February/March can be fun if you like snow and cold winter storms. If you want to get in touch directly you can email me: info @ vividiceland.is Hope this helps!

[@IamaFungi]

@@VividIceland helped a lot! I’ll be sure to email you once I have a more clear vision of the new year. Around November. Thanks again. The no agenda shows lately have been real good! Take care

[@VividIceland]

@@IamaFungi They have been crackers! I really need to donate again sometime soon. TYFYC

[@nlo114]

Great video. Please re-post without the plinky-plonky music, so we can hear the 'amazing sounds' that you talk about!

[@martyheresniak5203]

I was just about to comment about the quality of the video when the "sound of the eruption can be heard now" caption appeared at the very same time as the tacky music. Later the same thing, I could not hear "raindrops on recently cooled lava" for the ghastly music loop. What were you thinking? Rookie mistake. In the afterward in your car with the burger for breakfast you nose looks badly sunburned. Obviously there was no sun. Is that Gelfburn?
