Thank you for these wonderful videos. Who would have thought that we could sit in our living rooms, thousands of miles away, and watch a Shield volcano being born. So thank you again.

Someone give Art an award! Excellent photography!

Having watched your videos for the last 2 months I have finally made it over from the UK. Your videos are great but nothing beats actually seeing it. The heat, the noise, the sense of awe, truly amazing. I'll keep watching when I return to the UK. Thank you for inspiring videos, keep it up 👍👍

Ok for Americans the volcano is 652 feet above ground tall and 56 feet deep under the lava. That's just ... wow. I can't believe it's already taller than the hill that got blocked off. I wonder how much taller it's going to get and if it even can cover the hills around it only because it's flowing downhill. Will be fascinating to watch it happen though.

The dramatic natural changes in such a short amount of time is incredible to witness. I’m quite thankful for your great reporting! Takk! Where I live in SW Washington USA, I’m surrounded by long- dormant shield volcanos. It’s awesome to see the birth of one. I hope to visit Iceland again soon to see for myself.

I really enjoy your site

The first few shots of the valley really shows the scale of the steepness and length of the valley . Very nice thank you.

Thank you for explaining the volcano I sincerely appreciate the detailed explanations. Excellent program & videos.

The first scenes at Natthagi looks really, really well-shot. Feels like a movie.

Imo best volcano newscast ever! 👍 thank you so much. Rvk grapevine hip hip hurray 🌋

no thumbs down. it's beautiful. no one is immune from this wonder of nature ... thank you Mother Earth

Id like to thank Art for his talent with a camera, such a professional. Thanks Art, from your fan in Norman Oklahoma USA.

Valur I am getting vertigo just watching you up there. This hill is very steep.🔥🌋

The first 4 minutes of this video, I was just about experiencing vertigo. That was an amazing view of the valley.

We need to get some SAM's to Valur for the helicopters. :-) But seriously, Valur needs to be nominated for some journalism awards for his terrific reporting, film footage and his wonderful wit. Always makes me smile!

Thank you as always Valur. Love the way you present the 🌋 info. Stay safe.

Wow! I've been following this for quite some time and it's amazing how much land the lava has consumed, transforming the landscape. Thank you for your excellent coverage Valur, you make it all the more interesting with your Icelandic descriptions and definitions. How long this will go on is anybody's guess, but I'm in it for the long haul -- if I live that long, that is. LOL . . . Take care and stay safe!

Nice to see a video from here, from a camera in the hands of a professional, instead of so much very amateurish smart phone footage. Looking forward to your next trip.

Nice haircut, Valur! Just the perfect style on top to dramatize the windiness and the wild nature of Iceland. Another amazing, and highly anticipated new video with brilliant photography for all of us to see!! Takk Valur!! Takk Art!!

Fabulous camera work on the drone footage and the ground level panoramas. Thanks!

Thanks for your excellent report, Valur. Superb camera and drone, Art.

the staring hill is the absolute perfect name and I love it

From a fan in America, Texas to be exact, I want to thank you for reporting on the volcano. I know I'll never have a chance to see one like Geldingaladur, so what you report, what you learn from the experts there in place around the volcano, what you show us, you are our eyes and ears. I don't know what else to say except Thank you, again. Keep up the good work.

You guys are the best!

Love the camera work here. Its further back giving more sense of scale of how large the valley and how wide the lava field is. No music in between the commentary. Just mother nature and the wind. Keep it up!👍🏻☮️

Not only are you very professional and showing one of the most interesting things going on on the planet right now in my opinion you give All Icelandic men a very good name you are a representative for your country and a very good one... I appreciate what you do and you do it very well if you are ever in Reno Nevada USA you can kick it with me maybe we'll go to a punk rock show or something 🖤🙏🤘🕉️🧠

This is some of the best footage of the volcanoes lava lake building up inside the volcano that I have watched & I watch everything about this volcano. Awesome commentary from Valur as usual & great aerial footage from Art as usual. I love watching all of Valur’s videos. Awesome job guys.

Amasing shots. And info. Been following you for weeks now. In the World as it is today, this is the only thing that makes sense. A true thing. Thanks.

As usual, Valur, you and Art have scored another excellent report. Does Art have eyes in his feet? He never seems to stumble. The haircut and shaving makes you look so much younger. Have you lost weight? Whatever, you look great. Virtual hugs from the old lady from Carson City, Nevada.

At some point when you guys are back at the volcano, could you point out where the very first appearance of Bob was and where the subsequent others were? I guess all are now under the lava sheet, but where?

Interesting how the volcanoes opening is narrowing. Always thought that the area that allows the magma to escape to the side will be blocked off making it more like the traditional looking stratovolcano. Find it hard to see the crater becoming completely blocked as the magma needs somewhere to escape. Just fascinating to view all this. Many thanks to our intrepid reporter Valur, from Kris.🇦🇺

Thank you for all your great coverage on the volcano. I really appreciate this.

The amount of lava that has flowed over the saddle point is incredible. I haven’t seen the view from your perspective since it ran over and the level in Geldingadalur has raised about 10 metres….crazy! Thank you so much for your report. Great job both of you

I appreciate the documentation of the progress of this natural event and your showing previous views of the valley. How about putting together a video in timelapse style showing the changes from the beginning? I'm sure that would be appreciated and a big hit.

Superb coverage yet again, thank you Valur, and your wonderful camera man Art. You are both very much appreciated.

In addition to the details you provide concerning the volcano the aerial shots are SPECTACULAR! Thank you! 😀

Great drone footage! along with the normal marvelous coverage by Valur and Art.

13:10 Bob is still visible at bottom left!

What an amazing change in the cone of the volcano!

I love the Art-Work!

Best cameraman covering the volcanoe, hands down. Love the pan shots.

The drone footage was GREAT! I liked being able to see how the lava field had grown and the height of the original cones to this one. Keep up the great work. Thank you for bringing this to life for those of us who can't travel to Iceland.

Thank You! You're weekly updates are the best. Better hope that Hollywood doesn't take your drone photographer.

Thanks for the nice shots again! I would love to learn icelandic. And don't always say it sounds strange or harsh. I really like the sound of this language!

Great video thanks so much for the updates😁Marion Cape Town x

Thank-you for these drone shots, Art.

Brilliant filming and explanation - thanks Valur and Art

Brilliant video. I especially loved the drone footage of the crater boiling over! Thank you.

Imagine the tunnels left when the volcano eventually goes to sleep, how amazing is our planet. Thankyou Valur and Art, love from Bunbury, West Australia ) x

Thank you Valur, great as ever!

You’ve had a lovely haircut which sets off the surrounding landscape wonderfully - everything seems rejuvenated and even more stylish - which I had not even imagined possible! 😍

As usual, thank you for the spectacular footage and informed comments! I especially appreciate the last part showing the helicopter on the nearby mountain because the comparison of sizes shows how gigantic the volcano has become!

The age of the lava coming out now, is from a much deeper source from the subduction zone deep down. The calcium rich lava, shown in white/gray I'm told is from millions-year old sea bed rich in crustaceans.

An awesome perspective - looks so huge in this podcast. Thank you.

The very best 20 minutes I’ve spent online today! Excellent reporting/videoing!!! I can’t help but make comparisons between Iceland & Hawaii. Remarkable scenes, sites: cascading lava flows, lava tubes, the rumbling and crackling sounds, & Pele’s hair (volcanic glass-Iceland may have its own name for this?). Kilauea & Mauna Loa are both good examples of shield volcanoes. Just sharing.🌋❣️🇮🇸

Iceland has a special word for being cut of by lava from all sides. me: not surprised at all

I'm addicted to this videos 😍

Marvelous views and information. Thank you from around the world!

Amazing to see how the Lava disappears almost immediately into the tunnels.

As a child living in Iceland in the 60's we used to climb a mountain about three miles from there (it's across the road from the Blue Lagoon). It had a classic cone shape, with a ridge coming out from one side. I had always wondered how it had formed, and now I see the same process playing out here.

Loving the Icelandic People & Fascinating Country!🇺🇸

Nice new haircut (allthough I liked the "old" one also) - still enough hair to play with ;-) But serious - best coverage of the volcanic events I have seen so far! Edit - and absolutely stunning drone footage!!

Thank you to you and your camera person for giving us such great, informative content.

The volcano is absolutely just amazing to watch, i never get tired of watching it. plus its amazing at how much the volcano has changed the surrounding terrain in such a short time, it really is like being on an alien planet. Everyone there in Iceland stay safe!

Completely stunning. Thank you so much again. There are no words to encompass the work and results of the work you show us.

Nevermind Volcanologists, youve turned me into a Volcanoholic. Keep feeding my habit.

As usual in all RVK docs, wonderful images and a great report.

You always make the news so interesting. We who have never been to Iceland, and we have never seen an eruption like this, have waited each day to hear your news. Thank you for your explanations. We are educators in South Africa and the children at our school, who mostly ASD, (Autistic Spectrum Disorder) wait for your broadcast. Your accent is also very novel. The children love it.

The drone shots above the volcano really helps you understand how enormous the volcano lake of lava is. It's like a small ocean in there.

Time to build a new road. Thanks for the video.

Another stunning video of the lava flow and surrounding areas. Your knowledge is fascinating and interesting Valur. Fabulous newscast defiantly on my bucket list for a visit. Dublin Ireland

Volcano fills valley, impressive, but think for a moment about the Glacier that formed that gigantic valley.

A couple of weeks ago I asked Dr Fox 2000 if the volcano would build a wall around itself and block the view of the fountaining. He said no because there were several openings that the lava was flowing through and that the walls were thin and would keep breaking out new openings. Oh well. That surely was wrong. So glad to have a drone view of the inside because it's been intriguing seeing the lavafall overspill one side with some fountaining on the other side. I've been very curious to see what that surface looks like

The English words for a barrier that is used to stop a river from flooding are "levee" or "dike."

Many congratulations, Valiur, your brilliant images (ideally framed; very smart and smooth moves by the cameraman) and also your excellent comments make your regular monitoring of Geldingadalir by far the most interesting one to follow.

Impressive footage! Boy, what a monster!

There's so much lava coming out of the volcane and it's still increasing. It's amazing to see the structers that the lava makes and the speed it flows.

The different colors of lava flows at the start are caused by different modes of flow by the same type of lava. Large turbulent flows typically produce a'a flows that are blocky and rough. Smaller trickling flows produce pahoehoe flows, which have smoother and shinier surfaces. The lava starts as pahoehoe but can quickly turns into a'a flows when they get turbulent down slopes, also the reverse doesn't happen.

Great coverage Guys.

Great stuff Valur.

When that unexpected last eruption occurred, I had lost track of the volcano. So I was surprised when that mountain over your shoulder was actually the volcano! It's huge.

Incredible! I wish I was there to see it for myself!

It'd be neat if somebody brought cameras that showed the thermal views as well as the regular video.

The word for wall or barrier may be ‘dam’. Your English is fine. Visited Reykjavik several years ago. Love lett lopi or plotulopi. Volcanos, wool. Seafood. Perfect place.

Thank you !👍

We have lava tubes in the US. Northern California and Southern Oregon has multitudes of them you can explore. But nothing compares to watching this live.

Great coverage...Look after yourself...Best Wishes from Melbourne Australia.

Brilliant as usual, great vlog, thank you 👏👏👏👏

Thank you for the news concerning the volcano. Also thanks to Art for the great drone shots! Look forward to each broadcast. Best of health to you both💕🌋

Incredible volcano shots. Other worldly

We literally just stopped our crying five year old (lego dispute with older sister) by saying, "Do you want to come see Valur? He has a new haircut..." :-)

It looks like such a lake now behind you, levelled out from sheer volume.

The amount flowing out of there not long before it reaches the sea! Incredible 🙏😎

“Quick, Frodo, throw in the Ring of Power!”

Beautiful!

Wow. The real land of fire and ice.

What blows my mind is seeing the lava going into a lava tube right at the volcano.

What a scene looking down on you while panning the view behind. Sweetest eye candy🍬 Bless you, Viking

The drone footage is great. It isn't possible to see inside the crater any other way. Thanks!

Fantastic footage! Probably the best land-based footage that shows the scale of lava flows.
