RVK Newscast
According to the newest findings by Icelandic geologists, the fire geyser’s lava fountain, or number five as it’s called, reaches 300 metres now. Whereas in the beginning, it was around 200-250 metres. Additionally, the volcano is now twice the size than it used to be. The lava coming out of the volcano is around 13 cubic metres per second, but used to be around 5-8 cubic metres per second. We also flew our drone over Meradalir in the twilights, and it’s safe to say that the valley is changing rapidly.

Wow, that opening shot. Award worthy. I always enjoy your reports, and the filming(thank you camera person) Amazing fountains to see, thank you. Quite jealous.
I'm always waiting for Valur and TRGs' latest report! Very spectacular, informative and always humorous . . . great work team, and thanks for allowing those of us who can't make it to Iceland this majestic and magical sight.

It’s not a Reykjavik Grapevine Newscast video if Valur doesn’t say “it is what it is” ;). Incredible images, as always, Art! Thank you both for bringing us these pictures. As ever, stay safe lads :)

OMG 😱 😳😱 The beginning of today’s video - WOW !!! Valur and Art, Thank You again for such Amazing footage. When you explained ( using picture of the Church, to Compare ), how high 300 meters is like, it brought it into a new perspective for me. Valur, I remember in one episode of your “Abandoned Iceland “, videos, you said, “Nature is in Charge “. This was a Perfect example of just that. The volcano is Beautiful to see but it’s power can be dangerous and must be respected. I feel that your program really explains this Very well. Also, you had mentioned in RVK episode #98, that Engineers wanted to divert the Lava - is there any New Information about this happening? A wonderful newscast, as Always. Stay Safe and please let us know when you’ll be doing another AMA. (Hopefully soon) From Arizona - We Love Polly. 🐶👍🏼🌋
With your usual excellent reporting, Valur, combined with Art's fantastic drone footage, we get to watch another broadcast from the Grapevine. Hugs to you both, with cheek kisses. From a fully vaccinated 75-year-old woman in Nevada, who adores Valur and Art and the work they do so well.
Another great episode Valur. Yi have to say, your camera operator is seriously brilliant. A shout out to her/him. And those drone shots are breath taking. Must be nice to have someone in-house with those skills....👏

Wow! What an openning shot!
The nighttime drone shots are always amazing, thanks guys.
Just love your newscasts about the volcano. Valur, you are the man. The drone footage is stunning. Thank you for bringing this to us.
Have to add another comment to this outstanding update. The opening few moments are awesome. Perfection! Thank you so much, Valur and photographer for bringing us right up front and center to this natural wonder. X0. Stay safe. Watch for flying tephra!! Shout out to your graphics team for putting the church into the long shot for perspective.
Such thrilling blasts and lava river views! The drone and photography work is "on fire!" so enchanting! 🔥🧡 Thank you
Wasn't too long ago that footage like that was only available from big production companies that could afford helicopters and expensive cameras with special rigging! Now at a fraction of that price, with dedicated people, amazing footage all shot and edited and wonderfully presented to us within some hours of filming it all. Kudos 👍 to you and your team, and to modern technology! 😎

I think it's understated just how much drones have changed film making. Incredible shots that wouldn't have been possible with a chopper as it would be too risky.
Tolkien would be so happy! Great views. Thank You.
Epic opening scene! Always look forward to the latest edition from the Grapevine. Valur's disarmingly honest delivery and Art's creative imagery make for compelling viewing. The drone footage and audio at the end is incredible!!
The drone shots are absolutely incredible.💪💥👍
Valur and his cameraman/woman have made another great podcast. Thank you
Always pleased to see another Grapevine report. Always enjoyable and very informative with some humour thrown into the mix.
Incredible camera work, entertaining reporting, thank you :)
Awesome. Again. As always. Thank you so much, love you guys ❤
This intro is so powerful. These video's are unlike any other. Great job Valur & team.
that night drone footage is amazing ... truly work like few have done ... keep it up ... the time laps and highlight video's get the young staff on it.. you just keep doing want your doing
Thank you so much for the fantastic drone footage!!!
Once again, huge congrats. Sell these framed pictures, guys! I hope I'll see you there on Monday!
Whoo Hoo! Nice nighttime drone shots! You could do more of those all day. It's the first really clear shots I have seen into the lava pool when the volcano isn't fountaining. They give a great view of how much the whole volcano and the lava vent itself have grown in the past week. Great job! Take care of that new drone.
Valur's juggling skills are almost as impressive as the volcano itself =)
Spectacular footage! You and Art should get some kind of award for these videos, they are always great. This one is the best yet!
Bravo! Love your accent. Great info and coverage. I’m a fan. Wish for more.
It like the Energy bunny , keep going and going
Really enjoying your video series! What an amazing time to be in the media in Iceland.
This is mind-blowing. Thanks for providing us with the experience online. Love from New York. Stay safe!

The opening shot is spectacular!! And love that The Reykjavik Grapevine, yes THE, just uses the natural music of that fiery beast - no music overdub - love it. Amazing again, Art and Valur!!! ❤️🌋❤️
By far the best aerial videography of the volcano so far, it's great to see into the cone as and during its eruption. ❤️
Thanks for the physical comparison of its height.
The beginning shot should be sold on your store! Beautiful. Get reporting.
#RVK + Valur+ film crew = out of the park coverage. Nice juggling skills Valur 💯
Great work, and yes those eruptions via drone are unforgettable. Have been following your reports since this began...all the way down here in Australia.
Thanks for yet a lovely episode of the newscast. Lovely footage and the sound.. The spitting and puffig dragon. Lovely.
If Kaleo hadn’t got there first that opening shot would have made the best music video ever. Art and Valur not so much knocking it out of the field as putting it into orbit. Though I am missing the regular dose of Polly antics.

The sound and sight are just amazing. Soul-stirring, really. I can only imagine actually being there! You said there were no helicopters, but one popped into view at 3:06. ::D But you did say they are not coming close, anyhow. I had to stop the video partway through and retrieve one of my lovely Krem-Kex biscuits from your shop to celebrate the new volcano installment. These installments have completely ruined me from all the others. No drama, no wind noise. "Just" tons of awesome scientific info and stupendous camera/drone work. I sooooo appreciate it! The night drone footage at the end - oh, my freakin' lord! Every installment, I think the night drone shots can't get more impressive. Then the next installment comes along. Haha - I guess nighttime won't be around much longer. Wow - this drone has an impressive height on it to get that far up from the volcano! May it not be slaughtered! :D
I love watching your youtube news series in iceland. My dream in life is to be able to visit Iceland because I love to visit Volcanoes all over the world and I am so into the culture too. Id love to come visit as soon as i can save up the money for a 2 week stay. Stay safe and well. Much love n respect to everyone there
