Big news - The Ice on the Volcano Lake Askja in Iceland is Melting Fast Now

Рет қаралды 23,831

Жыл бұрын

The ice on the Askja Lake above the caldera has been melting even faster since I did the voiceover for this video so things are for sure heating up under this giant Icelandic volcano, and an eruption there could be a major event so I suspect that I will make a new update soon. However, this video covers also how the Reykjanes peninsula behaves, or not, and enjoy the show, made from from samples from some of the footage I shot last summer.

Hi Gylfi from southern New Zealand. Exciting developments with lake askja melt forming. Yes, I agree with your professor, faults in Iceland do have the potential to cause powerful earthquakes and we mustn't be controlled by the fear of that but must be aware it is possible and nature is powerful. The Tohuku magnitude 9 Japanese earthquake was a strong lesson about not underestimating nature even though such a powerful earthquake had never been recorded before in Japan's long history of recording earthquakes. I think you will do a brilliant job making documentarys. Great video and a lot to think about 😁

@chriskelvin248 Жыл бұрын

You really make me feel so vicariously at home with your videos and commentary. I would be a huge fan of any longer-form content you would produce. Regarding your need for more air time for collecting footage. I saw somewhere on YT that there is a small diehard group of paraglider pilots in Iceland. I realize that a helicopter is more comfortable and the pilot leaves you free to focus solely on the imagery. But a paraglider is way cheaper to operate, requires no certification (at least in the US) and at the same time is in a tier up for payload and endurance over the drone. Could also be very fun and add even MORE content on top of what you already so skillfully create! Thank you once again Gylfi!!!

@JustIcelandic Жыл бұрын

I actually gave this option a though a while back :) the obstacle would be the image stabilization, I cant handle shaky footage, and fixing such in post means lost pixels plus it's hard to fix nature videos from air, when everything is moving, so even a helicopter is harder to work with then a drone with a built in image stabilization system, they are so extremely good, but your idea is great for photography, and If I had the chance, I would try this :) but it's not that many people doing paragliding around here, don't know why...

@rebeccashannon3080 Жыл бұрын

Could be it is too risky. Winds can change quickly and you are at their mercy. Your equipment is valuable as well as your work. Check into the risk before you even think about it. Iceland is known for its changeable weather and tricky terrain. But you know that far better than I do!😊

@tthappyrock368 Жыл бұрын

Your videos of Iceland are so incredibly beautiful and informative! Documentaries seem like a natural progression for you! I can't wait to see what you find out with the thermal drone. As far as high magnitude earthquakes are concerned, those of us living near plate boundaries need to be prepared for them--especially if there haven't been any for relatively long periods of time. In looking at our geologic and seismic records, our scientists say we're overdue for a major quake in the US Pacific Northwest. They expect a 9.0 within the next 40 years.

Thank you for your update on the geological activity on Iceland. Me, my wife, and our two daughters are going to Iceland this June. I hope Iceland will keep quiet and not shake and blow fire and ash too much, I really want to visit. A small tourist eruption is welcome though. Our plan is to drive on highway 1, the ring road, and make detours here and there. We will stop in Akureyri and drive around in the area. I have seen your Iceland towns series, so I have a few ideas where to go already. Do you have a favorite direction when driving the ring road? Or maybe it doesn't matter. Greetings from Norway 🙂

@JustIcelandic Жыл бұрын

Well, the ring road is a faulty concept in so many ways :) it's a concept that symbols the south coast bridge, opened in 1974, but misleading for the tourists since it's way more to Iceland than just this road :) I recommend lake Mývatn and Ásbyrgi, The Snæfellsnes Peninsula but the west fjords is a trip of it's own, not to be missed, and i'm just mentioning the places that are outside the official ring road :) And if you will be here up north, the Tröllaskagi peninsula is way more interesting road then Higway one :) Check this one for that :) and welcome to Iceland kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Z56DYLF4rq2ZY4E.html

Again, I am only an amateur geologist traveling around the the USA west looking at rocks and mountains. But I would be surprised if Iceland would have a M7.8 , The forces and faults in Turkey would seem to me to be much bigger. But surely Iceland can frequently experience M7.

@JustIcelandic Жыл бұрын

Yes this was a surprise, however this huge shift on the Húsavík Flatey fault must be the reason for this, since it's around 2500 yrs old and the displacement was enormous, so I suspect that they estimate that earthquake to have been of 7.8 magnitude, but not for me to say though, but I will find out, thats why I want to make a documentary from there :) and thanks for sharing, and always welcome to Iceland :)

I love your videos and coverage of the volcanology and geology of Iceland. I'd equally love to see a fund started to get you the vehicle (or horse) you need to be able to access the places you need to go for your footage. What would you need to be able to get close enough to these places to at least get drone footage? What would you need to get close enough to photograph them yourself?

Hi Gilfy. I think your town series might be seasonal -- best for tourist time, whatever that is, and when people are planning tours. Of course, many peoples are fascinated with volcanoes, but especially when they are live. I wish you luck with your idea. Your camera work is excellent. I know that you understand that your accent in English is challenging at times. Maybe you should ask Jeremy Irons or Morgan Freeman to do the narration? Sorry, but I don't have their telephone numbers. I don't even have yours! But I do believe in you and think you'll make an excellent film about Iceland. Try to answer that one question we all ask -- why does everyone live in the most risky area for lava rain? I is fascinating. I'll keep my bell ringing for new videos. Be seeing you. 👁️

This quiet in Iceland is a bit concerning for me. To me, this feels like the quiet before a storm. I think we could see an eruption on the Reykjanes Peninsula this year again. As for Askja, that could produce a large ash eruption if it starts under the lake.

A day out in a helicopter WITH a geologist, now that would be something I would enjoy immensely, so I hope you will manage to make that happen. ... and since I am such a smart-a$$ - have you considered teaming up with some students of cinematography for who that could be a great opportunity while you would get some help?

I've watched a couple of your videos and really like this one, especially about prioritizing projects. Subscribed just to help out. Boy Howdy, do I know about that, I've been working on one for fifty years and have many long term projects. I think I found an "easy" one , finally, and it just took over all projects for awhile. It sure is being a pain though, it is like Murphy's Law giving me the whole plethora every step of the way, alike last night I spun a mill bit in a collet. Lots of luck learning interviews. Sure looks like that little town is going to get it eventually. Should have a Wile E Coyote sign at the beginning of that tunnel, warning that there may not be a road when exiting.
