Hi!!! We are traveling from US on 19th August and would like to hike with 2 kids age 12 and 16. We do hikes here for about 5 miles. We are wondering what’s the best route and best parking lot to shorter the hike? Also, I heard there are no restrooms, if there is an emergency can you go behind the rock or there are no safe place?

@peterginsburg2465

@@anshzeel From all the RGrapevine videos and others from last year, the only restrooms that could be seen were by the parking lot. On the different trail routes, there were no large rocks to hide behind. With the hundreds of thousands that made the trek last year, I'm sure Icelanders had a system. It may be, bring your own toilet paper. And as usual, don't pee into the wind. Also, until a trail is set up, (the officials plowed a trail through the rock fields) most of the area is a bolder field of 3-8 inch rocks with moss. Valur uses sturdy high top hiking boots for the rocky terrain. Good luck. Have fun. The hike looks to be about 10 miles round trip, with 1,000 ft vertical.

Yeah it is a long walk, with quite a swim, from Troy, NY, USA.

A massive thank you to you and Art for your huge efforts to bring us these awesome videos. Your coverage of the previous eruption was just incredible, and you continue to show your incredible passions for the volcanos. It looks like Art’s secret service status has been kept safe yet again. 🤣

Awesome, can't help but be delighted! Thanks to Valur and Art and Iceland for bringing us the Biggest Show on Earth. Beautiful but dangerous.

Thank you all for hiking to the volcano and reporting from it.🥰

I am always amazed that Valur and Art are able to keep their feet (remain upright), and remember their notes for the report, and remain safe during their videos. I don't worry about the volcano or magma hurting you, I worry about a loose rock or slippery dirt under foot sending you tumbling. Take care and thank you for your reports!

I know, it is one thing to sit home and observe, and think clearly, but they do so in an incredible range of situations, most of which would make even a seasoned reporter loose his cool. But, each and every episode is so conversational. Things are always made to look so easy and comfortable. That is a sign of good, no incredible, journalism 👏 thank you!

Another spectacular report, with brilliant filming and Valur's commentary.

I am watching from very hot Houston, Texas. Thank you for your reporting. Stay well and safe.

Checking out the earthquake in Iceland on KZread a year ago - I came across…. Episode # 79 ! Which is a classic, sitting at a table with beer in front of where the volcano might go off. I am a huge fan ! Thanks for your very fun newscasts.

I was very excited to see you talking about the volcano on our local news’s channel in Tasmania Australia 🇦🇺😊 thank you

Enjoy the coverages from all sources. Icelanders seem extremely nice, hope I can come and visit some time.

Thank you Valur and Art! Bad wind there! Stay safe! Improving the trail well be good for many. Hopefully people will heed the warning and keep their kids at home. 💙🇮🇸🌋

Yup - that hike is much harder than the one to the old volcano for sure - crossing that boulder field across the plateau is quite tiresome :/

This is spectacular. Thanks for taking us along

Thank you and Art for this wonderful opportunity. Laughed really hard at the "video feed interruption." Your sense of humor mixed together with awesome reporting keeps me coming back for more :)

Thank you Valur. Miss seeing Sweet Polly..but glad she is safe. Love your channel Valur! Stay safe.

More wonderful camerawork from Art as this eruption develops. Valur.s commentary rocks. Wonderful combination of talent. How fortunate we are. Watch your step in that ferocious wind. Really enjoy watching these videos. Cheers and take care.

Thanks for the update--and for braving the hike in lousy weather! Beautiful videos of the lava!

The biggest show on Earth!! Great job, you guys. Greetings from Mexico City!

Thank you for the update, and for braving the conditions to bring this to us. Would love to come and see the eruption for myself, however as an older person not as fit as used to be the prospect of a long hike is a deterrent, hopefully the new pathway will make it possible to visit. Would prefer to join an organised tour from airport if such exists.

So great to see how many new viewers there are for these wonderful newscasts. Join the High Five club everybody!

Thank you Valur and Art for these amazing pictures. We were at the volkano in June in Nátthagi. It was so great. And now the eruption started again. We wish we could be there now. Stay safe and greatings for lovely Pollý

Art…man, myth, freakin’ legend! Cheers guys.

Thanks for a great report and for scaring the crap out of me at about 8:20 👌 Looking forward to the next newscast, as usual. 😃

Thanks, as always, for the great coverage of all things Iceland! ❤

Valur, I’m happy to see how well the volcano 🌋 behaved after your video that predicted it. I’m happy for you and Art and I hope Josie can see it too. Art, wonderful videography as always. Valur, I hope you have an extra pair of glasses 🤓 when that fierce wind blows your 👓

Love seeing you (and imagining Art behind the camera) at the new fissure but I got a little concerned that you might lose your glasses or trip on a rock.I miss Polly but glad she couldn't come today. You certainly put yourself through it to get your work done to inform all of us who wish we could be there of what kind of experience we'd have. I'm so excited about the fissure though Geldingadalir will always be my true love; she must be proud of her offspring and I am happy for her for that. Thank you for all you do at the Grapevine.

Bravo!!! What a spectacular episode!! Thank you for hiking and fighting with the winds to give us this amazing view!! 🙌🙌 👏 👏👏🙏💕 I appreciate every episode all the work you do for them. Take care of yourselves and have a wonderful night everyone!

Always so exciting to watch. Great reporting. Thank you Valur!!!

Another fantastic newscast - thank you Valur and Art. The wind was quite something..... but of course, it's Iceland!

Thanks Valur for the update.

Hello again from Oregon! Nice to see you doing the volcano watch again!

Great that the volcano and you are back! Always a treat!

This is fascinating footage. It's wonderful to see the greatest geology show on earth from the safety of my home. For everybody who gets to see this in person, please stay safe.

Thank you Valur and Art! It's so cool to see. Isn't it just mind-boggling to think that's liquid earth ejecting from many miles deep.

Thank you guys. Stay safe! Sometimes it seems you and Art are too close to the lava, but it's probably just the telephoto lenses.

On a video elsewhere they were roasting marshmallows. Not content with doing that once they kept running backwards and forwards. That was definitely too close for my liking.

I would LOVE to see a map and find out how last year's volcano compares and WHERE it's lava went.

your coverage is always my favourite!

Thanks agains Valur and Art that was very informative, the 17km hike in looks to be over really rough terrain.

Another great report- thanks. We are trying to hike there on the 18th. Hopefully, we will see you there. Rich from Marysville. Be sure to add the relative directions. Helps folks get oriented... Keep up the good work

WELCOME BACK MR GRAPE VINE MAN it was quite for awhile

I really need to win the lottery cos one of the last things to do on my bucket list is come to Iceland, See the volcano erupting.& meet Valur & Art to personally thank them for helping to keep me entertained during the last eruption when Australia ended up in a mas see I've lockdown which was hard for me cos I live by myself. So Valur, Art & the last volcano became my life for quite a while. So seeing as I am unlikely to win the lottery I will just enjoy watching it all on the internet. Stay safe & stay healthy.

Both of you do a great job, thankyou again this yr for covering natures' beauty 👍👏

It feels great to be near lava with Valor 👋🏼🥰🤗

Excitement once more. I think Art does a fantastic job with his videography. I don't think he likes the adoration about his great work. There was an insert over part of your comments about him. Valur, you are a brave man. Your surefootedness is to be commended. I myself will trip over a crack in the sidewalk! Thank you for all you do, and kiss Polly for me.

What a textbook fissure eruption! It's absolutely on form for a fissure to appear, grow rapidly and then begin to concentrate activity around just a few vents which become more active. It would be entirely predictable for it to begin fountaining from this remaining craters for a prolonged period. This is exactly what happened last year, (and one of those vents became a monster); and at Holohraun. In the UK, the BBC was being extremely cruel on Thursday by making their presenters attempt to say 'Geldingadalir'. You could see the look of fear appear in their eyes as the word appeared - and kept appearing on the autocue. None of them were able to do it, so by Friday it had become 'a volcano in Iceland'.I hope that's some consolation for Valur if he has to say 'ash' if/when Grimsvötn blows its top. Thanks for the confirmation that Art is - [signal lost]

Just incredible! Thank you :-)

Great camera work Art. The wind is about to blow Valur off his feet! The volcano went through some changes overnight and makes me wonder how long will it be before it starts building up. What are the elevations there? Your humour and information Valur is always appreciated. Bye for now from Ontario Canada 🇨🇦🙋‍♀️🇨🇦

Missed you since phase 1 volcano explosions. Your why I watch. The cutest for sure. From Canada eh xox

Your videos of last year’s volcanic activity were easily the best available enabling us to have the next best thing to actually being there. The quality videography gave a sense of scale I didn’t get from anything else I saw. Nice job on this new fascinating phase. Maybe you’ll get some drone footage if/when winds relent ! Thank you

Thank you so much - compulsive viewing with great explanations- stay safe and keep up the good work

6:15 Vogar is north from the eruption, not south.

Thanks for sharing ! Like previous year I'm consuming all the info. Last year July I hiked both trail C and trail A to the crater. The current trail is basically an extension to trail A and I can remember walking a bit further and also encountering the conditions you showed: loose gravel on an sloped slab of rock, very treacherous and easy to injure yourself. I've seen multiple videos of the region and notice also smoke being emitted from some of the adjacent hills. I can imagine with all these earthquakes going on, these are also potential eruption vents only the current eruption fissure probably is the least resistance. Have these smoke vents been assessed by scientists already ? Maybe if the lava lake level rises, these might also start pouring lava ?

The surface you are walking on, must be a road? So unusual, in Rock City. Completely different angle, too. 🤩👍🕊️🖖

Wintry conditions certainly while it’s only August. Amazing terrain you must walk over! True journalism.

Thank you so much for your coverage. It's very informative, and entertaining and the footage is breathtaking! Watching from Vancouver island, Canada.

Just......Thank You!!!

top news from Iceland,thanks

Love your newscasts.

Thank you for this report. How high are the lava fountains?

Remarkable drone footage at the end of your Vlog. Thanks for risking your equipment. The drone must be subject to tremendous heat changes during its encounters and it cannot be known what extreme temperature variances are likely, due to freak updrafts created from freshly ejected magma.

Just before the magma reached the surface there was a clear periodicity of roughly 12 hours between activity peaks. Is the lava eruption also showing periodicity? If so, timing would strongly affect estimated rate of lava ejection. The periodicity is interesting and I am curious about its cause.

@riverAmazonNZ

Tides have a period of 12 hours. Maybe it’s the moon?

@pamelakuhlman8481

Жыл бұрын

I have always wondered the same thing about periodicity, as well. Watching Italian volcanoes in Sicily, it seemed they had a rest period, too. Perhaps the Earth's movement causes the magma to 'slosh' underground and therefore it must get back into the proper place to be ejected. (Just a guess!)

Scotland speaking. Please don't send your poisonous fumes. Very kind, but no thanks.

I love Iceland
