HOW COOL IS THIS FEED.

Subtly done - excellent camera & drone work, plain speaking factual presentation, sharp editing and just a touch of underscore music here and there. This is quality work, and by far the best channel covering these vents on KZread. Well done chaps!

the overview shots were great, it is missing a lot of times. Most focus totally on the vents and the moving lava .. as somebody who is following this for weeks, i like to see also the areas it reached, or which canyons it fills, or which path it blocked.

Another excellent report on the ever changing world of the volcano. Thank you Valur and Art, these reports are becoming the highlight of my viewing week. One thing that I particularly enjoy is the opportunity to watch mainly drone footage without any unnecessary and distracting commentary - the mountain speaks for itself a lot of the time.

Another outstanding report! In my opinion, the best channel on KZread on the Iceland volcanoes!!! Wish I knew the reporters names, love listening to him!!!!!

I've been to the site last Friday but you guys show this volcano from a perspective that - at that time - wasn't even available. Thank you for that! To visitors in Iceland: you JUST gotta see it. The primordial landscape, the sheer, relentless force of nature. It is mesmerising and horrifying at the same time. Absolutely magnificent experience!

Stunning drone footage! I love how much of this video the sound from the volcano. I realized how mesmerizing effusive volcano sounds can be while watching Kilauea's 2018 eruption. Geldingdalur has courtesy to be more mellow and erupt away from communities. Love your easy to understand, informative explanations, too. Much love to you and your team!!! 💚🌋🌍✌️😸

Don't mess with Valur - every time he goes to Reykjanes a new volcano appears - let's hope he never uses his powers for evil! Any chance Valur and Polly will be willing to start the next Newscast with a rendition of 'Volcano Man' from 'Eurovision'? - that might just break the Internet.

@Timothy Mckee Not as tourist friendly as what Iceland currently has. Plus, no winter weather.

In the USA our news casts are scripted and “perfect”. This guy, whose name I can’t pronounce, is such a breath of fresh air. He informs without sensationalizing. He is natural, not made up with layers of makeup. When he doesn’t know, he says that. He has a Border Collie that sometimes comes on the show when it’s safe. I love this guy’s work. Wish we could have him and his camera person here in the USA.

Can't help but think of all the sad little city boys who spend time in front of a mirror every morning artfully disorganizing their hair with who-knows-what kind of products so that they'll look like they don't give a shit.

Polly is maintaining and boosting morale on the Home Front, and was not at the site of eruption when you shot this footage. I imagine you got a warm greeting from her on your return last night.

From Canada, cannot say enough good things about your amazing coverage of this event ! No problem with some monetizing, but please do not stray to much from your authentic reporting style, which is as unique as this event ! Thank you again, I will go buy a some of your “merch” after your fascinating broadcast 🇨🇦👍

The drone footage was mesmerizing!

I'm afraid that I'm the one who called the first eruption " Bob". After four days without being given a name, It became an off-the-wall short-hand name for our chatroom to use. Since then, as more vents spring up, other members keep adding three-letter names with Nordic backgrounds. Btw: RVK has become recommended viewing there. Both yourself and Polly are quick to be mentioned!

Unbelievable how it’s changed since I watched the original camera pointing into a valley that people on the chat named pizza toast lake 😂😂

Best coverage on this event.

The ability to be there and witness such a majestic sight..... priceless. Your drone pilot deserves a HUGE raise as he is VERY good ad getting good shots. If only i could be there myself to see this once in a lifetime event! Thank you for bringing such beauty and awe-inspiring video and photos to us poor folk!

That black sprawled luxuriantly over the valleys of the brown is just the sexiest of landscapes I have ever seen.

the literally the best intro for a volcanic video

This is my favourite KZread channel thanks to the guy who is doing the reporting. He is so easy to listen to & his enthusiasm is contagious. Keep up the great work. Hello from Sunny Queensland Australia 🇦🇺❤️👍🏼😘

Even when spitting out big gobs of molten rock, these Icelandic volcanoes do it in a calm and casual, matter-of-fact way. Volcanoes with a true Icelandic temperament!

Oh My GOODNESS!! What a dramatic change from Friday! I am in awe--to see the land change so much is incredible. Thank you for great drone footage and on the ground commentary. You are excellent reporters.

I must concur with the fantastic video comments. It further shows the mystical sense of Iceland to us non citizens. As a person of Danish ancestry I still envision Iceland as a place one might turn a corner and still happen upon a Viking onboard an Icelandic horse. It still has the landscape appearance of an ancient area of the world. And I love it. I’ve not been there. But I feel a sense of it calling me to experience it’s wonders.Tak.

I like the way you let the lava speak for itself - not letting your ego get in the way like other broadcasters might.

Valur, excellent update. 👌 and your photographer! You are giving us a ring side seat to this natural wonder. Thank you. I cannot wait to see your next update. So much is changing so quickly!! Continue to stay safe

thanks for the fantastic and informative reports. I'm from Germany and for me, who can't come in the current situation, that's really great. keep it up! Greetings from Bavaria!

The Grapevine delivers a fabulous review of the eruption once again!

The quality of filming on these videos is beyond anything I see even in million-dollar-budget documentaries. Genuinely impressive and every shot is a work of art. Whoever is filming this deserves so much more than they're being paid

This is the most enjoyable reporting of a news event that I have ever seen. Great photography and commentary.

Absolutely brilliant report, just natural sound and vision, with Icelanders interacting with their landscape. That is most important the gasps and giggles at nature in all its glory.

Beautiful footage! Well worth the wait. Thank you

the aerial footage of the 17th minute is the one that best reflects the grandeur of this event. No image on another channel translates the dimension of the lava flow so well!

Wow thanks for going back and showing us the changes. It looks a lot different than the live cams, you can’t really tell the size or how far the lava has gone. It’s really amazing. I was watching the live cam when the new vents formed and that was pretty exciting! The cams are all black right now so there’s some kind of problem with the feed. Ones working but it’s all gas or fog so you can’t really see anything but I’m sure that will be fixed soon. Thanks for hiking up there to show everyone. I could have watched the new vent spewing lava in the lava stream for hours!

What a fantastic view of a volcano landscape. It reminds me of Mordor in Lord of the Rings. Thank you for sharing these unique views!

Thankyou. These are the best videos I’ve seen of this amazing event in terms of capturing the sights, atmosphere and definitely the sense of the scale and environment. Appreciate you not having music overlay and allow us to get a feel of what it’s like to actually be there (if only that was possible).

I could watch those areal shots for hours, it's just so fascinating. Another great report!

Spectacular.... getting more and more beautiful every new day, thanks for the video!

Great job on the drone footage and the reporter, it is so surreal it looks like CGI. I would give anything to be there right now and enjoy this show! I have been to Iceland two times already but something tells me I will be back soon! This country truly is amazing and never ceases to surprise! Keep up the great work!

so glad that this Volcano happened in my time. Definitely will visit. Greetings from Brazil!

Hiking with Icelanders, to see a volcano, we are lucky to see this sight. Thank you and take care🕊️

Extremely well done and amazing video of the various flows. Thank you for work and for making the 5 - 6 hour hike there and back.

Truly awesome - wonderful coverage.. How "thoughtful" of the volcano to wait these hundreds of years til drone and KZread technology arrived so the world can enjoy - in real time.

Superb reporting! The drone footage blows me away. It shows the dimension and perspective as well as the intense forces.

Thank you! It's really cool to witness all these happened!

The vote is in! Iceland has the best volcanoes and the best drone footage!!!
