Volcano Update - Air Pollution and Uncertainty - Will Eruption Number Be a Reality?

[@felipericketts]

What I enjoy most about your videos, in comparison to other videos that focus on the "orange stuff", is the context and broader view that you provide. It will be great to see the before and after videos that you mention are coming. Thanks for telling the story! 🙂

[@annekekuiken4461]

This is exactly what I want to say, totally agree!

[@KarenNZ]

Exactly how I feel about watching Glfi ..

[@kevinwebster7868]

Literally numerous other channels that do the same and even better. They also don’t upload the same video multiple times a week. If this impressed you go check out channels run by actual geologists.

[@felipericketts]

@@kevinwebster7868 I have seen some of those channels from geologists. They explain the geologic context very well and I enjoy that. I appreciate the non-technical point of view in this channel, including the social aspects and the larger context of Iceland as a whole. In some sense none of it is better or worse, it's just what I like and what touches me. Best regards 🙂

[@treeface5000]

What I enjoy most is your voice Gylfi... You could be reading the stock market forecast and I'd sit there, drifting off into a sweet dream....😊

[@mcsmith732]

That scene you were showing around 8:17 is one of the most breathtaking landscapes I've ever seen! The colors, textures and shapes are hypnotic and captivating. Thank you for sharing this fascinating photography of your beautiful country with the rest of the world. It's greatly appreciated!

[@shooter2055]

Stunning landscapes at the end! Thank you!!

[@JustIcelandic]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@steveh7866]

Wow. That closing sequence is beautiful. It looks like a fantasy landscape. Thank you Gylfi.

[@sarkybugger5009]

The 'orange stuff' truly is mesmerising, but as you say, without context, it's just pretty pictures. For that, I come here. History itself loses context, if there is nobody there to record it. For that, we all thank you. The colour and light in that last shot are truly stunning.

[@IRBrouwer]

You wrote exactly what I too was thinking.

[@eigeneart5896]

Good morning Gylfi and Internet community Iceland ;-) I am always fascinated by the variety of landscapes in Iceland that you show us Gylfi. And I think it's great to be able to experience this without the big catastrophe that volcanoes bring with them in other parts of the world, where human and animal lives are lost. I wish you a nice weekend!

[@Feenstaub66]

I totally agree! Greetings from NRW/Germany! 🌋😃

Amazing contrasts from green fields to snow to volcanoes Iceland 🇮🇸 has it all great video diary as usual your editing is spot on 1st class. Always look forward to your videos more than any other channel on yt. Keep doing more exciting videos and I'll keep watching as always best regards from the uk 🇬🇧 to Iceland 🇮🇸 and stay safe Gylfi 😊

[@lindabriggs5118]

Good morning Gylfi. Your videos are definitely better than most. And you keep us up to date with what is going on in Iceland. The way that these eruptions are occurring, made me think that Mother Nature is playing Peek-a-Boo with Madam Pele. Please be safe, stay warm, and continue to produce wonderful videos of your lovely island country.

[@Smartgran]

You are an on the spot historian and the value in your videos will become clear to academics and Iceland's meteorologists when future attention turns to scrutiny of eruptions. Not only do we enjoy seeing geographical changes occur especially as we are neighbours (500 miles) but we are not likely to see them personally. Thank you.

[@Sentogray]

Your videos are a staple in my 7th grade English class. My students are as fascinated as I am, and we're all very appreciative to have access to such high quality work. Thank you.

Thankyou for hanging in there and giving a real local point of view. I'm so excited to see what you have for us next.

[@dolphinschild62]

Hi Beautiful, thank you again. What I love about Isak’s videos is I see how it flows and cones formed etc. It’s perfect for geology studies. What I love about yours is yours is the documentary of history of the before and after of each eruptions and how the environment changes, the fauna changes, people change, and infrastructure changes etc. You and Isak do important works in your field of videography and you both honor your country and people and history. There are so many taking real time volcano eruptions, but there is only one videographer documentary/historian and that’s you Gylfi. Love and blessings, Sandy in Far Northern California.

[@yomogami4561]

thanks for the wonderful cinematography gylfi i love your videos of your country and look forward to when you complete your long term projects thanks for all your hard work

There may be many other people putting videos on KZbin but from my view none can be compared to yours so I don't bother viewing them. Your work speaks for itself and will do so for many years to come. Until next time ...x

[@darthlaurel]

That last scene!! So stunning!!

[@marymachunis3778]

Greetings Gylfi. Thank you for the update. The views from the drone are spectacular.

[@JustIcelandic]

Enjoy :)

[@barry7608]

You do a great job especially the photography and it’s obvious you admire the scenery, as it is simply stunning, so many features. I would love to visit but it would be a long one as I would have to explore. Take care

[@ericfielding2540]

Another great update. Thanks for including all those views of the fissures and faults north of this latest eruption. That is an excellent portrayal of the plate boundary processes that make Iceland different from other volcanic hotspots like Hawaii that are not on plate boundaries. My only complaint is that you showed your nice schematic view of the magma chambers at depth for too short of a time in this video. I have to rewind it to see it again.

[@johnqsmartypants]

First, thank you for the update and your thoughts. You may not be an “expert” but you have seen enough data and are able to draw conclusions. The landscape from about 7:53 to 8:15 is simply breathtaking. There is nothing else I can say, so I won’t clutter it up with words. Breathtakingly beautiful.

[@JustIcelandic]

Thanks, its more to come from that landscape soon :)

[@jefferystephenson1643]

What a beautiful shot that you ended with, incredible! Keep up the good work documenting your homeland for future generations to enjoy and learn from.

[@b.a.erlebacher1139]

Thanks for another update with video of interesting and beautiful scenery. The last sequence was especially beautiful, the colors and shapes remind me of a group of artists here in Canada about 100 years ago who painted impressionistic landscapes of remote wild areas.

Thanks for the update, as always. Wow, amazing footage at the end. ♥️♥️♥️ I’m so glad that you’ve had some good filming days.

[@jan-ovepedersen5764]

I love your filming of large areas shot from high altitude. Your videos show how the landscape looks before and after. I'm no fan of those filming the orange stuff close up with no context to the landscape around the volcano, not even filming where the lave is heading or how far it is from infrastructure. Your videos on the other hand are quite informative and of high quality. Greetings from Norway 🙂

[@adamzimmerman6660]

That Torfajokull Caldera is beautiful ! Brilliant scenery. We appreciate your hard work.

Ty Gylfi. Safe travels!😊

[@JustIcelandic]

😊 thanks

[@EducatedSkeptic]

Thank you once again, Gylfi, for your incredible video imagery and thoughtful analysis. It's amazing to see the vastness of the area that has now become covered with fresh lava since last November, but good to know the current flows are expanding to the north - and away from both Grindavik and the Blue Lagoon and its associated power plant. It's more than a little disconcerting, though, to look at all the magnificent highlands in your videos, and to realize that these current eruptions, though frightfully impressive on a human time scale, must be miniscule in comparison with those that have occurred in the geologic past!

When you capture video we know it’s Iceland, not lava jetting from another country’s volcano. Thank you for filming the tectonic cracks. Otherwise cracks like these can only be spotted on satellite images over the ocean in various locations. You filmed areas very well for us to really appreciate them and the last footage was an amazing ‘painting.’

[@Chompchompyerded]

You do a magnificent job, even when there is no volcano erupting. I watch your videos whether it's volcanos or when it is all the other things you have shown us. Your videography is top notch, and I also enjoy your narrative. Your videos are a treat whenever you post them. I have no doubt that your documentation of how things were, and how things are now will be of value to future generations just as you are hoping it will be. You are creating a valuable gift, just as photographers did 100 years ago and even further back. Keep up the excellent work!

[@debrawest4859]

Gylfi, what you are doing, creating a picture of the landscape and it's changes, whether through plate tectonics, volcanic, weathering, flooding, or from ice sheets is all amazing and will be useful in the years ahead for engineering, geologists, and many other professionals as well as those who just find an interest. In this video, I particularly am fascinated by the point from 7:53 until the end, what a beautiful landscape! Can I ask where in Iceland is this and what forces, or combination of such, created such splendor? Around what height did you take that drone footage? I have so many questions 🤔 I used to love hiking and exploring nature, but spinal stenosis prevents me from seeing these wonders up close and personal as I would like. Thank you so much for such beautiful footage.

[@petramaas8574]

Great footage as always and promises for much more to come. Thank you and take your time. You can't change the weather and volcanoes also have their own agenda.
