Thank you for bringing Iceland events to the world, nice work!

Thank you from the mountains in Canada!! -20 winds are normal for us over here as well. We appreciate your updates and humor, too! This volcano has put you back on the tourist map. I plan on visiting you when the pandemic has leveled back down. I’m a climber and your terrain is haunting and beautiful! We equip ourselves well for these temperatures and conditions. Stay well, and your reports are very appreciated!

Thank you so much. Love your site. My husband loved working up in Iceland. He said it was an experience of of a lifetime. Wish I could have joined him !!!

Thanks for all the Iceland info, my condolences to the family of the man that was killed, excited about the new fissure opening and hope everyone continues to be not in any danger, thank you and hi to Polly

Pele, I guess

The main reason I would suggest as to why you have had far less snow and warmer temperatures is that the Arctic weather, Polar Vortex, has been going much further South into the USA as far down as Texas or even Mexico, has also been going to all parts of Europe a lot further South and also going into Asia,. These places have received much colder temperatures, more snow and ice, plus hail.

Thanks Valur for the update. Great to see Polly as well.

I live on the coast of England looking out to sea facing north ... the wind is coming from Iceland, it chills through to the bone, makes me want to wear the windproof clothing I bought to wear in Iceland! - great news about the second vent opening up, as soon as COVID permits tourists will be keen to visit (including me)

I can hardly wait for your revisit to the volcano location and hear your reaction to the expansion fissure. Apparently the volcano wants to stay in the headline news.

We're loving your reports on the volcano. We're watching from the South Island of New Zealand. You're so funny. Your accent is great. Please keep us up to date on the new fissure. Thanks.

I’m seriously thinking about staying at the Foss Hotel on my next visit...so was great to get a closer look. Fingers crossed restrictions will be more or less lifted by then. Thanks Valur, camera man and Polly.

This has to be the most kickass news programme I have come across in my life. I have always admired Icelanders and love the country. Iceland has such a rich history and her people are wonderful with a really great sense of both kindness and humor. You have to be tough as well if you grow up on top of several volcanoes. Greetings from the US and thank you for the newscast!

Such a beautiful city!!! ❤️❤️🇮🇸🇺🇸

Beautiful for Your puppy !

Great job I plan too visit Iceland this summer. Please keep us up to date. My phone goes out when I leave it in the car 38 C. in summer. Thank you

I find myself spellbound waiting for the current news of the Geldinga volcano and such great reporting from Valur. It was nice taking that walk with you and Polly thru town. Never been to Iceland and now I can say I was there! Thanks again. A bit cold for a California girl.

I just LOVE his doggy.. what a cutie pie.

Great job on the news back home

Enjoying your news from Iceland.

I looked up "hydraflot". Ah, a floating tank experience, something to calm the worry...as you were talking about the great concern over the murders. I hope that's the end of that kind of violence in Iceland this year. I'm noticing the windows along the street as you talk about the weather. I like the small ventilation window and noticed how many were open to let in fresh air, even though it is below zero. I would be doing that! My goodness - that looks like a lovely hotel. And the price, by my American standards, is quite inexpensive. I would not mind spending 5 days there! :) It's such a shame that people cannot be trusted to do the right thing to protect the country they are visiting. And only 5 days, not 2 weeks! Btw, as you walk around, I'm admiring your cityscape. I'm a country girl, but I also admire a city that brings architectural beauty into its design. I can see that the buildings are definitely designed for the climate, and are so pleasing to my eyes! I also see that Polly is constantly trying to get you to walk as if you also had four legs - LOL! At 13:48, it looked like your camera man suddenly levitated. :D And at 18:12, looking at the graffiti art. Who is "gron"? I couldn't find a reference online. He looks kind of trollish. The evolution of this volcano is so fascinating! There are a number of videos covering it, but I truly appreciate the perspective that you offer. I hope that the Nature of Iceland continues to protect human dwellings as she does what she must in her own awesome, fiery way.

I feel sorry for the people stuck in Foss hotel. It is a great hotel though, been there several times and enjoyed it very much.

Thanks for the News Valur! I´m planing an Iceland Trip in the next years, hope that will be managed without that nice Corona-Hotel. I´m enjoying this channel very much, stay healthy!

I await your broadcasting eagerly ... Thank You ..

I think if we compare to Kilauea in Hawaii, they are the same volcano, just different fissures. So if Iceland does the same as Hawaii, they would have the same name. Stay safe! Hope you are all able to survive the British variant and get vaccinated quickly.

Very nice walk around the city...

Arthur is a wonderful cameraman. He follows you so smoothly and interestingly. It looks like hard work walking Polly; she's dying to get away. Do you think her feet are cold?

Hoping to visit Iceland in July and enjoy getting a preview. Fingers crossed that Covid won’t keep me away.

Two murders already this year. OK, let's talk about the weather. I LOVE THIS CHANNEL.

Hi Valur, a little bit of “volcano” comparison... The current eruption is much like the last eruption of Kilueua in Hawaii in 2019. The actual eruption took place some distance away from the main crater and in that area there was a lot of lava that came out of those cracks from the lava lake in the main crater of Kilueua. There were a few explosive eruptions from the main crater, but the vast majority of the activity was a pushing of magma out of those cracks down the line of lava tubes from the main crater. Let’s hope that there are no explosive eruptions in Iceland.

I know it's not ideal, and I'd hate not being able to get out for daily walks, but dang, I'd give my right arm to be in that hotel right now, ready to be released upon the island in a matter of days!! Roll on travel being allowed out of the UK...! 😍🇮🇸🌋

The problem is that they aren’t honourable about their own quarantine and the entire country has to deal with the inconvenience and danger for it. So, if they are keeping everyone safe, there would not be the policy now as it is... I don’t know. It’s quite a balance when it’s people who are not from Iceland and maybe don’t think about the science as seriously as you apparently do there. Bless

You guys are warmer and in Texas where I live it is the coldest winter ever. in south Texas near Houston it got down to 5 deg.F. It usually only gets in the 20's. deg. F

How the new fissure- noon time Iceland was noticed by a pilot very good to learn. Interesting would be more info about strain on safety teams and even the special forces. I am sorry tourist not considerate enough for the circumstance.

Love this guy

When I lived in Iceland there was very little crime. Sad it is changing. Outsiders?

Great stuff, This can be the beginning of a new mountain and if the lava runs in to the ocean then more real state to consider in the near future. From what I hear last time a volcano in this area erupted it lasted for 30 years.

Great videos and I'm from Ireland no need to be watching but I'm interested in Iceland

My family has been quarantined at home twice, 10 days each time. When quarantined at home you are only allowed to go out in your own garden. A walk with your dog would not be allowed under the quarantine rules in my country. She'd have to be content with the back yard.

Would I be right in assuming that if you lived in the countryside away from other people you would be fine taking your dog out on a walk , at very least on your own land? I know that lockdown rules are very different in cities and towns compared to very rural areas in the US. Even though they may be the same on paper people in rural areas are not following the same rules IRL. I currently live in a mid-sized city and things are more strict than where my mother lives 2 hours away in the countryside. I hate it so much I'm selling my house and moving back to the woods, as far from this craziness as possible, luckily there is still lots of open land in the US so its possible to live miles away from your closest neighbor.

Here in the US, I wish they had placed a QUARANTINE sign on people's front door when they sent them home.

Great vlog . Love Polly she is gorgeous. We have a Welsh border collie Skye aged 6 . Also Bruce the Welsh Springer aged 13 this year . I really want to come and visit Iceland one day .

The weather is weird atm. It’s the middle of Autumn here, and over Easter everyday has been over 30C ( 90F)...which is ridiculously hot for April. I’ve been wondering if it had anything to do with all the volcanoes that are occurring around the world atm, and if they are heating the atmosphere. Thank you for your interesting news. Hi from 🇦🇺🦘🐨

Thank you so much for your updates from Iceland on both the volcano and current events around Reykjavík. As far as people Needing to be rescued from the volcano area, the government should do what Is done here in New Hampshire to people who find themselves in trouble due to their own foolishness; charge them for the cost of the rescue operation to get them! If people knew that they were going to have to spend the equivalent of US$1000 they may think twice about being stupid!

Thank you very much again for your updates. Do you know what the earthquake activity has been like since the volcano was created? Has the new fissure today been accompanied by additional seismic activity lately? Thanks

I've stayed at the Fosshotel twice, it's nice but not nice enough to be stuck in the rooms for 5 days.

Hello Valur. I have been trying to set up a Facebook account for hours. I only have an iPhone and it takes so much time to do anything. Why did I do that? Your Coast Guard is offering better images of the new volcano to Facebook. Haha. Congratulate them.🌋🙋‍♀️

Everyone has made sacrifices to avoid spreading the virus. If you travel you must quarantine. I have no sympathy. It is no hardship spending 5 days inside.

Ok ,thanks lots for the news but at the moment I just forget about travling in iceland

I'm so sorry that the evil of murder is being imported to your peaceful country. You must be so proud of your country and its people.

we have been doing quarantine in New Zealand for almost a year anyone entering the country has to stay in a government-approved managed isolation facility for 14 and take 3 tests before they are around into the general public of New Zealand. we are proof that it works we are the best country for covid response and with Iceland being an island nation I think it has a lot to learn from New Zealand

With the title of the video and me misunderstanding what he was saying, I though there was a second Mordor in Reykjavik.

Coincidentally, in the San Francisco Bay Area this rainy season so far is the driest since 1975-we share something in common. Sad to hear about a 2nd murder there. Pretty commonplace, unfortunately here in the US.

When speaking of the weather temperature this is where I find the Fahrenheit temperature scale much more accurate over the Celsius scale because a degree on a Celsius thermometer is a 1.8 degree Fahrenheit. A 3 degree rise on a Celsius thermometer equals a 5.4 degree rise on the Fahrenheit thermometer. A human can easily feel the temperature difference between the two scales.

I am quite excited to see some trees at the end of that video too!

Only one or two murders a year. Wow! How do you guys do it?

Polly looks about half Border Collie the way her tail is and coloring, and the way she carries that ball around like her life depends on it.....She really enjoys the reporting from out in the wide open country. Can you do a report from Harpa, and give some background on that beautiful building? Maybe walk down to the stainless Viking ship on the harbor walk?

Chief of morale💙

Luv you guy

I find your news talks very interesting! it's so nice to see you walking with poly at the same time, and I'm able to see a little of your country and the capital. I live in Sth. Australia where we often now get temperatures in the low to mid 40'sC so -5*C seems verrrrrry cold to me! 😀Having said that I don't like +32*C much either! 😫. . . regarding quarantine: if ppl. want to go to another country you MUST be willing to comply with the laws in that country! absolutely no ifs or buts! I believe you do have to sacrifice the economy, the harder you go the more chance you have to recover earlier and also it s/what protects you from the threat of developing new variants. 5 days of quarantine is so little! and you certainly can exercise in your given space. I'm sure the SAR do a fantastic job, but there are limits to the risks you should submit y/selves to, I did give a moderate donation, and wish you all the best.

Talk to Saudi Arabia, Canary Islands and Morocco. They are getting the snow Iceland is not.

I believe the new fissure is connected to the north east side of the volcano. I was looking early this morning.

A few jerks spoil things for everyone. Good luck being able to have laws which protect others. Five days doesn’t sound terrible except the cost.

During the last grand solar minimum Iceland and Alaska etc got very warm while other places such as mainland Europe got very cold. The pattern is repeating this time around. Nothing to do with CO2.

Without CO2 we all die. CO2 feeds the plant life and the plants give us oxygen. CO2 is not a pollution it is a necessity for all life. I am sure why they tech kids it is dangerous. We were never taught that in school. If there is any problem it is probably weather modification. That is a multi billion dollar a year business now. The CO2 terror thing is just a scam so some can make a whole lot of money. To be honest a bit more of it would be good.

What a relief to see him unleash the dog.
