This was a really nice video to see. I wish we had proper news reports like this in the UK! I'm interested in volcanoes & earthquakes and have been following the recent events in Iceland. Valur is really interesting to listen to and I'm sure his report was comforting for Icelanders to listen to. Keep up the great work and keep safe.

I've always thought of Iceland as a floating fireplace. My granddaughter, Hannah, lives in RVK. Praying for all of Iceland!

After Saint Hellens Erupted the Geologist said flora and fauna would not come back for decades. In 5 months later a 2-3 inch deep bed of moss grew. It looked like a fairyland. The deer, elk and critters loved eating the moss. Deer & elk food is moss!

@Tiger: I’ve never forgotten the woeful beliefs that life around Mt. St. Helens would not return for decades. Did they even say a hundred years? Anyway, all I could think of was haven’t they ever gardened? Proof came when the first green sprouted from the ash weeks later. It’s time for scientists to concede that life happens fast, not in eons of time but suddenly, fast, quick, as in right now time.

I am so glad that you have provided this view of Iceland and its people. This is scary news, but I'm glad that you're willing to show the world, including me (I live in Ohio, US) this look at your beautiful country. I will hope and pray that you will manage to do well in this frightening time. Thank you for your interest in sharing.

Thank you for such a clearly explained and reassuring update, in stunning surroundings, the gorgeous other-worldliness of Iceland! And the aerial shots really highlighted the previous lava flows, with different colours of moss showing different timescales, I guess? Just beautiful. But also awe-inspiring, vá, ótrúlegt!

There is a geologist on you tube channel Oppenheimer Ranch Project. He says this could be very serious. Our whole community is watching this closely and praying for you, Iceland! You are not alone.

This is so interesting. I just realized that I watched dozens of videos three years ago of the Kilauea fissure eruptions in Hawaii with a local guy crunching through tefra and narrating the surroundings. But I hope you don’t have eruptions or at worst only “tourist volcanoes” 🌋. The reaction of your dog to the earthquakes is very interesting, and concerning.

I was in Iceland man years ago! What a beautiful place to be, very nice people People be carefull

Has any geologist done any heat readings in the area yet? Have they identified any specific areas of rapid ground swelling due to magma intrusion?

Thanks for the wonderful aerial/drone shots and the annotated landscapes! Great addition to your normal broadcast. Hope everyone is well and Polly can relax soon.

Prayers for Icelanders. I cannot begin to imagine how unnerving this would be. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

@@CyberBeep_kenshi prayers healed relatives from cancer, protected my family from covid19 including doctors working on first line. I had dreams that warned me about dangers coming and being cautious helped me to avoid or overcome those problems. Prayer is a channel of communication with God, yes we have to do our part to have the best outcome possible. I also prayed for people not to die and they did anyways, I won't discuss the decision from above but I am sure they are resting now. Yes, it is good Icelandic population is prepared to overcome disasters, they faced many during centuries and prevention is the best to do. I'd still pray if I'd live there, to feel safe for sleeping and that if something happens I am at least awake and ready to act. My best wishes and prayers

That's a lot of shaking! This is about where I started watching RVK newscasts. So glad I tuned in. I'm a regular viewer now.

I would love to see a feature movie made about the true story of the Eldfell eruption and how the island was saved.

5:08 "It was a banker who got hurt. Hah!... Safe to say NOBODY got hurt." They'll never live it down and it will always be amusing.

Your show was so interesting I watched it a 2nd time. Thanks for taking me for a walk today. Airhugs of positive energy to you and yours.

Great video, wonderful surroundings, the landscape is gorgeous, sorry to hear about the earthquakes, pay attention to the animals, they know what is coming before we do, one of your better newscasts, thank you.

Hello RG team! A location request from Montreal, from a High Five member - would love to see Polly visit the other famous Reykjavik pets.. specifically Baktus from Gyllti kötturinn and Atlas from Fischer :)

Thanks for all the information, clears up a lot.

On Sicily and perhaps the whole of Italy, you can go to jail for diverting a larva flow from your own property onto your neighbour's. It doesn't look as if there are many olive-groves in the affected area of Iceland, though, so it probably doesn't matter.

Watching Your intro., just before the music. You saying, “this is the most dangerous place in all of Iceland”. The music came on and I almost jumped out of my skin. Geez, I thought.....well. Stay safe out there on the tundra.🌋❄️

His dog sure is enjoying the hike. I really like listening to the Host. Valur Grettisson. Very imformative and not boring at all.

Thank You Valur, Polly and Art. Great commentary and footage, as always! It's amazing what can happen in 2 months! The area is full of surprises! Polly, hope that you are feeling more relaxed. 💕 Stay safe! 🙏

Keep the updates coming.

Thank you so much for all you do

Thanks for the update, take care !

Love the location animations!

Thank you for this information. The quakes are annoying. One woke me up. Laki eruption was pretty nasty for Iceland AND Europe. Hope and pray it settles down.

Except for the moss and the road, it reminds me of mars.

"fizzle out" -- "fissure out" might be a Freudian slip. Doesn't the lava cut Polly's pads?

So Fagradalsfjall was the one! Who knew? Great video and hope no more eruptions, stay safe and God Bless!

Thank you. Great job from USA

Happy new year Polly best wishes to you and yours volcanoes waking up stay safe 🙏

Thanks for the update Valur - give Polly a pat from all of us to keep her calm. The good news it doesn’t look like there’s any magma on the move right now so this is probably horizontal movement across the ridge line rather than presaging an eruption. Though having said that, the activity is concentrated between the two volcanic systems of Krysuvík and Svartsengi (where the Blue Lagoon is located), so volcanism isn’t entirely ruled out. To give an idea of how much energy has been produced in the current swarm, if you add up the energy released by all the earthquakes it is something over 10 kilo tonnes of TNT - a little less than the energy produced by the Hiroshima bombing. And i would appreciate it if you can put in a good word with the Old Gods to hold off from any photogenic eruptions until I can travel again.

Amazing how accurate this prediction turned out to be.

Next reporting, could you comment if any tilt meters or so are placed there to determine if there's any upwelling of the land. That would indicate magma is rising to the surface.

Iceland land is so awesome so much fascinating landscape

Very exciting. Beautiful country

Greetings from Boston. Thanks for sharing your take on the situation and stay safe up there. I don't know who the experts are who told you they don't anticipate an eruption but with all those tremors I'm anticipating something's gonna go BOOM real soon in Iceland and, hell, I'm not even a Viking but even I know that. The interesting aside is Iceland isn't alone. All of a sudden volcanoes are erupting all over the planet so take care my friend and please keep us posted

There are earthquakes and herds of elk and bison leaving Yellowstone in America today. Is anyone following and comparing the news from Iceland and Yellowstone?

Thoughts, hope and prayers for Icelandic people

Totally understandable English. Pronunciations are fine too. 👍🏼🇦🇺

Yes 3 days they tell us that for tornado and hurricanes and we have some forest snd brush fires.

5.7, huge? A large earthquake? In California no one even feels a 5.7.... In Japan, same deal... I've felt worse shakes listening to Carole King's Tapestry album, when I was launching it off the balcony due to an over prescribed listening schedule by the ladies of the house, which had become seismic in its offense, and so, it grew wings, and launched itself off the balcony in an act of a most noble sacrifice for my peace of mind. Of course, I helped it along, but the real blessing came from the force of nature governing lift! Thank you uplift! Truly. And you, Sir, Valur, thanks for your reporting on the situation there in Iceland! I pray you all stay safe, and aren't in the path of any more quakes. Large, or otherwise.

That landscape!

Hope you stop shaking soon! Take care, we love you!

Einstok is a fantastic beer. Had a few while traveling Iceland and again here in California.

Looks beautiful.

Texas has all kinds of terrain . From dessert to a few mountains, trees green grass, prairie land, rolling rocky hills. And ocean calked gulf coast. And Rivers . And we silly make 3 to 5 story highways

Oh, my goodness! Good luck, Icelanders.

And then there came the volcano... A small one, a fissure volcano as predicted, but it continues... It's interesting to see the videos from the time before the eruption started...

May I suggest carrying a water bottle while walking during these reports, and for the 4-footed Spirit in Charge of Morale, a collapsible cup so she , too, could have a drink ? As for the ground tremors, I am listening to you, and watching the Morale Officer as an early warning sensor.

i live in Irakleion, Crete...we were shaking for four months and they told to not wait a bigger than 5 magnitude earthquake....a 6 magnitude then happened in 27th of september ..and we are still shaking a lot after the big earthquake....

Is that a volcano back in the distance ? This is pretty cool seeing things from where you are...I am in U.S.A.

The volcano will form a crack in the ground. So the mountains themselves are not volcanos, but some of them are connected to the volcanic system called Fagradalsfjall (beautiful valley mountain).

a lot of energy in mid atlantic ridge currently from eq activity , travels north to iceland drain point , energy also travels from poland / germany / france /uk , that also drains at iceland on mid atlantic ridge .

I live near San Andreas and Hayward fault California my dog jumps in my lap and doesn't want to leave weighs 25 lb also when we have even minor earthquakes

I am the first one here today! ☺️

I do not now what it is but i feel that i belong to Island.. have only been there for one week but i have not felt so home in another place.. Maybe lived there in some former life..

New here looking up earthquakes / volcanos

How to imagine 10,000 Earthquakes within only some days? Wow...Wish you all the best! And for this small no danger at all tourists eruption you mentioned...I'd really like to witness it can you talk to someone to make it happen around late June/Juli? Many thanks in advance ;) ;)
