Valur, an excellent report. You've captured the size and scope of these volcanos in a way that no one else has. The speed of the volcanofalls and the mass of the lava flow is incredible. Great job by you and Art. Keep up the good work.

Very nice reporting. Thanks

All your reports are fantastic. But this one is superfantastic! Great collaboration between Valur and Art, and editors. Love the variety of shots. Please be careful out there. A greeting to Polly too please, from our dog Golly and us in 🇨🇦.

Any hot liquid that glows from the inside is just hypnotic. I used to work in a molten aluminum plant and people forgot about safety and got mesmerised looking at the molten metal glowing often.

Excellent volcano coverage. Please continue in safety.

Thanks for showing the lava field of Bob and the fissure eruption of Flo (as named on YT in the Viðburðastofa Vestfjarða) - you'll have to go back and take a look at SIF now too !!!

Perfect example of why it's so dangerous to be at the site. The ground he walked on yesterday is the site of the overnight 3rd fissure eruption! I wonder if either of the team noticed anything while walking over the new fissure's position. Thanks for the best report yet on this eruption! But don't get so close again, please!

Wow they need to do a story about that!! Trace the path, show the new fissure!

Our geologists here in Montana USA are calling the area where these volcanoes are forming a "rift valley." They are predicting the continuation of the type of volcanism we are seeing now, going into the future. EDIT: Relative to the length of the lava falls, it's possible that Hawai'i with all its many volcanic eruptions has something to rival the falls in this video. Mt Etna is currently erupting. Its lava moves a lot slower, because it has a lot of silica in it. I don't know how far it is downhill to the sea, and no one has posted videos showing that (maybe it's too dangerous). Mt Pacaya in Equador is erupting, but there's no video of lava fall(s) there, either. If Mauna Loa goes, it's a shield volcano, basaltic lava like Meradalir and Geldingadalir, and that lava will flow with gravity following the path of least resistance to the sea, however far that is. These are interesting times, for sure! RE-EDIT: When basaltic lava cools, it forms a shell over itself of black glass. When the lava is flowing slowly and is subject to more cooling away from its vent/volcano, you can hear that glass shell breaking as the lava flows. It sounds like glass breaking.

Etna when she puts out lava flows is faster then this due to the one mile drop right off the bat. Kilauea tends not to have lava falls through the fact that it's relatively flat but that said fissure 8 during the last eruption put out more quantity of lava in a day than the original cinder cone here could in a month. Her lava river was up to a half kilometer wide moving at up to 30 kilometers per hour.

Thanks - best overview yet.

Hello from Alberta, Canada! Very cool! Thank you for the updates!

Based on where you were walking around the original eruption, I would say you either walked across the new fissure or at least it's flow. Be careful out there, as there is also another spot where the ground has depressed a bit and that could be next.

Hope no Huldufólk or hidden people homes have been impacted by the lava flow! We use to hike to the local cinder cones in the area in 1980. The lava fields are extremely rough, lava cuts up your boots and weather is ever changing. Thanks for bring back some fond memories!

Dear Valur and crew, greetings from Australia! Thank you for yet another great installment! We love your work, look forward to each new report. Blessings!

Nice one, Valur - I've been looking forward to this since your late newsflash on the previous video.

Yours is the first video where I could understand the distance between Southie and new volcano .. I think we watched it only days ago in its infancy and it has grown to be the big brother of Southie. I will watch for more updates and learn more about Iceland, thx from Flagstaff, AZ , USA !

Thank you for this great footage and commentary, best yet!!

Another great update Valur.. liked the swift exit, wouldn't want you to be the first casualty, having just referenced there having been none! Think that the drone bit you were finding the word for was the prop (aka propeller). Hopefully you'll have it up and flying again soon to add to the footage you've capture today of that fab

Awesome great job! A man-o-man up to the moment up date on this new volcano you're doing a great job! We're watching from Missouri USA! :-)

Thanks also for your cautionary words about being safe around the volcano. I only wish I could visit right now.

That was awesome...thanks you two. I"m watching this after the 3rd one opened and wondered how the heck you got to the other side of the lavafalls... but i know now that it had not opened yet...good thing you left!!!

We love this content!!! Please continue !

This is going to be regarded as the best flow in history to watch. At night it must be incredible. Every meter is unique in its flow

Thanks for taking us along on your hike around the volcano....amazing repot and filming

Valur, Thank you for such amazing reports. I found your channel right before the first eruption occurred and quickly subscribed. Please don’t put yourself at risk, though. I’ve been learning about Iceland through your channel and look forward to Your next report. From Arizona, U.S.A - We Love Polly !!! 🐶👍🏼 🌋

Get an infrared camera up there. Maybe a new fissure will give itself away before it opens up. Historic footage of the very beginning of an eruption.

I can’t believe the evolution of this volcanic landscape. This video in particular is stunning with the lava river.

Love the enthusiasm of the reporter.

Amazing to watch the Earth grow before our eyes.

Love your commentary about the liquid rock river filling in the low points around the volcanic systems.

Anywhere else you’d need a hundred million dollars and a team of computer artists working night and day for months to produce something looking half as awesome. In Iceland, this is just another Wednesday. As for lava flows, Piton de la Fournaise on Réunion in the Indian Ocean is also producing very long, fast-moving lava flows, but I think your new flow is even bigger. Stay safe Valur and thank-you for sharing this extraordinary sight. Yes I’m still jealous you can get so close to the volcano.

This is fascinating, but Valur, Art, please be careful on these trips out to the volcano. That 3rd fissure that opened up last night seems to be right where you were standing. Please don’t put yourselves in danger for our entertainment. We’re definitely not worth that!

Actually I am worth it ! Joking aside, please be careful, they are fantastic reports, your commentary and also the videography are both excellent. I was interested when you said they thought the new fissure would be closer to the original cinder cone, events since your visit have proved this correct of course with the 3rd fissure appearing a lot nearer . It makes you wonder where the next one will be. More NE again or to the SW of the original along the fissure line. All the best.

Hi Valur, these RVK newscasts (in English, which is surprising, unless this is meant for an international audience and there's another version for local/Icelandic audience) are excellent.

Wow, what a great insigt into the vulcano system there! Thank you very much! At 5:20 we can see the lava "waterfall" (no, the lavafall ;-) flowing out of the new volcano in the background on the left base of the volcano into the lava "river"... wow... and at 8:40 again... And at 6:36 you can see the place where the lava flow later split up into a second path which would be a bit more in the background, flowing around that last small hill before the final valley for now. So if someone was on that last hill, he would have had no chance to come out other than with a helicopter. Oh, you were standing there at that exact hill at 9:50, maybe you were just around the point where the lava flow split in two flows later that day ;-) And that's why the area is closed for the general public, because if there are hundreds of people watching the volcano and another fissure would open up behind them or another lava flow would flow down somewhere behind them, they would be trapped. And now try to evacuate hundreds of people from there. It is not possible to improvise a bridge over a lava flow, it would melt and burn. But with just a few people between two lava flows, it's still possible (but expensive) to evacuate them with a helicopter. Oh and 12:30 looks like there must be magma not very far below the old surface - or is it already a subsurface lava flow at that point... anyway, it's really fascinating! Thank you for showing this to us!

Another amazing update, thank you so much for bringing this to us.

I work in news. This is stunning reportage, the fluent commentary, the camera angles, the obvious risk. And that's an award-winning sign-off: "Goodbye!" (Waves, dons gas mask, walks quickly off camera to avoid being poisoned in the line of duty). Well done.

That lava river is one of the neatest things I've ever seen. From the aerial shots that I've seen, the river looks quite narrow, I'm wondering just how deep it is and if it'll leave behind lava tubes after the fissure dries up.

Watching from Canada. LOVE your reports - they're the best! Thank you!

Love your feeds bro! Keep it real :)

Amazing to see how the volcano has formed and the lava river has developed.

Be careful and take care of yourself. Don't get to risky just for the pictures (we sure like to see). And thank you for this great footage. Again.
