INFO ON 2022 ERUPTION - my dad has already visited the new eruption that started this month. He filmed a bunch of footage and explanation of it and I have started editing it. Stay tuned to the channel to catch this video!
Thanks for all these geologist dad and volcano eruption videos!!!
This is. Easter weekend a time to glorify our risen Savior, who died for all mankind sins and with God created the whole universe by HIS Word. Proverbs 8 22 36. KJV.
KZhead, this is good content!
Yeah! Finally! A geologist. Not onscreen enough.
Good to hear a geologist in person provide eloquent commentary and explanations. Thankyou. (A personal preference would be lose the music while he talks - some of the revelations for me about this eruption have been in hearing the constant natural environmental noise of the lava flows and violent eruptions. But I still very much appreciate this video. Thanks again)
This is what I like to see, so informative but not hidden by clever words and phrases. Thank you.
Thanks to your dad, I will never be able to look at my toenails without my brain connecting that to the rate of continental drift. On the other hand, checking the width of that crack between the plates right at the beginning (and trying to measure it in toenails, obviously) makes me feel very young. I love your videos and your dad is awesome. He makes for a great teacher. I hope you`ll do more videos like this one.
Great hearing professional geoscientist's overview -- awesome, thank you.
Please have your father explain more. He is excellent and your photography makes the experience worthwhile.
Thank you for the feedback! My dad is interested in going back because the magma production has increased. The government is building a wall. It will also give us a chance to reply to some questions here
Not only is he a knowledgeable geologist with excellent communication skills, it looks like he did a half decent job of parenting too. Well done, both of you.
Thank you Robin for the amazing comment!
@@JonBear You're welcome and thank you.
I so agree!
thanks Dad,
Awesome! Love the details. Your dad is great.
That was the #1 most informative video on this whole event yet. Plenty of people recording it, but your dad was just really great explaining it. 👍
I completely agree. Your father is an excellent instructor.
Came to say exactly that as well!
He's very happy to hear that! He was so excited to see how great the video was doing
Yes, what he said!
Finally we have some earth science, well done, highly informative to complement the spectacular fireworks!
Yes please. More dad the geologist. Would be awesome if he could explain the separation of the gasses from the molten rock within the earth to form those massive jets exiting the volcano. Also what roll the cooled lava plays to form a more or less insulating layer over the hot rocks and lava within the lava field after it has flowed across the landscape. Totally fascinating talk from Dad the geologist. Moar, moar.
This is not "good" content. This is INCREDIBLE content. Thank you!
Finally! Information from an expert! Most of the videos, while visually great, have no info except obvious observation. Anyone else on site who talks about the geology & the actual mechanics of the lava progression? Is the “wall” being built expected to actually divert the lava? To where? Thanks.
Thanks for your positive feedback. The wall is constructed to keep the lava confined within the valleys surrounding the volcano, instead of having it taking the path of least resistance down towards the coast where it threatens infrastructure (roads, cables). Hopefully this can be done. In case the eruption lasts for months or the lava production increases this might turn out to be futile. Lava flows cannot be stopped, only diverted, and there are limits to what we can do. But, it is worth the try.
Thank you!
Excellent narration. The best information yet.
your work is so good
Excellent!
Can you do more with your Dad? Your shots are awesome, and I love his clear, informed input.
I agree!!
I say people repent Jesus is coming again for a great people repent
@@karenpalmer5902 I think you're proselytizing to the wrong crowd, Karen. Scandinavian scientists -- and the folks who enjoy learning from them -- aren't likely to be particularly receptive to your bizarre ranting about your imaginary friend's orgasms. But, hey, whatever floats your boat.
@@MattFittPhoto. 😆👏👏👏
I look forward to an editing together of trained geologists’ cameo commentaries from various films - with amended subtitling because the cc here produce gobbledegook - they do not recognise technical terms nor do they adjust to an Icelandic speaker’s speech habits affecting their otherwise excellent English🤩😍💐 Thank you for all your effort. I loved especially 5-6 mins and 15mins to the end. Thank your Dad too!
This was a fantastic video for those who are new to geology and for those who are well versed! Thank you for the footage and thank you to your father for taking the time to teach all of us.
Very well done and most informative.
I’m loving the commentary. Where else can you get so much great information while you’re watching an active volcano. Keep that content coming. 👏
Having minored in Earth Sciences more than 2 decades ago, I am grateful to see a real geologist explain such a wonderful and natural event that has been happening for eons on our planet. Geology field trips were some of the best parts of my university days. Well done Dr. Íngólfsson, and great video work Jon.
Thank you so much Tim!
An amazing video thank you and thank you to your father for explaining everything so well from Tasmania, Australia 🇦🇺
Fantastic informative production! More geology lectures from your father please, maybe he can suggest other interesting locations to visit when we come to Iceland. Thank you, Ray from the Emerald Isle!
Thank you SO MUCH for this geological/volcanic education. I've been waiting WEEKS for a scientist to step up and explain what's going on. Just wow!
I am so happy that you found this video! My dad is interested in going back because the magma production has increased. The government is building a wall. It will also give us a chance to reply to some questions here. Hope we can give you more info then
As a Geologist the presentation is beautifully presented by both Father and Son. The technical explanation is smoothly delivered by the Professor Ingolfsson and these have been extremely well integrated with the visual by Jon. The eruption is a relatively unique opportunity to see a lava eruption in a natural amphitheater where every seat is the best in the house. Very well done and the records of this eruption will be studied for many years
Thank you. Icelandic people are so kind and patient and smart. Everyone on the different live webcam like Bob and Flo cams are more than willing to teach you and I just love the pride you have in your country. Again thank you for sharing with the world.
Thank you Toni for your interest in Iceland and the geology of this diverse island
Here Here
Your images are fantastic, as always, but the addition of your father's engaging explanations just makes it So. Much. Better. Thanks to you both!
Thank you Matt! that really means a lot!
Your dad is awesome.
You are awesome!
@@JonBear You are awesome too and so is everyone else who replies! Let his dad know that we geology rocks and his career choice!
Thanks for including your geologist father to explain what is happening and why it is happening . . . very informative !
Thank you Yuujin!
I have to say that as volcanoes go, this one is gorgeous!
That was one of the most informative videos I have seen on the eruption. Nice to have a geologist for the occasion. Loved the geology background with the information on the plates, the "big picture" that provides context and perspective. It makes what we are seeing more meaningful and intelligible. Thanks! :-)
Thank you Felipe! He had the idea to go for a big picture narrative. I am glad we did
Excellent video. I’ve been watching the current volcanic eruption since it started and your video really brings this eruption into context in terms of the geology of the area.
That was great, thanks. Please thank your father for his clear explanations.
Your dad is a true teacher! Loved it and would like even more in depth information regarding the magma and the flows. Thanks for the content!!🥰
Thanks for the positive feedback. We will get back to this, stay tuned!
the best volcano video that I've seen: actual explanation of the phenomenon.
I'm from the island of Hawaii and this brilliant geologist taught me more about these types of volcanoes and eruptions than I learned from a lifetime aside volcanic eruptions.
Wow, your Dad is fascinating to listen to! Thank you so much for this video!
Thank you Jean! That's so good to hear
Nice video , it’s a good reminder about the Gases from the eruption , similar issues here in Cali when our fire season hits
Wow, your Dad was awesome! So helpful to hear his perspective.
Your Dad did a super job!
Love the knowledge behind your shared experience
Thank you Maggie! I am so happy
That was excellent. Thanks!
Hi,Yes you should have Dad with you.I feel like im back in school and that's OK,you learn something everyday.Your dad speaks very slow and clear which good for understand.Thanks
My late grandfather Dr. Paul Dean Proctor was a geologist who would have loved to see this volcano. I get to see it in a few weeks and your geologist dad gave a phenomenal explanation that made me miss my grandpa. His english is excellent and his explanations were excellent. I especially loved the analogy of the lava being like a giant caterpillar! haha!
Your grandfather sounds like a great man. Thank you for sharing ❤️
It amazes me how much water vapor is released every time the eruption goes big!
Yes a massive cloud!
Your Dad should have his own series or Podcast. Iceland will forever hold a special place in my heart. Thank you for this informative and fascinating mini documentary, well done!
This was so great - like a documentary on this volcano! I really appreciated hearing the scientific explanations. It helps me understand how this is different from more common explosive volcanoes. The videography is put together beautifully. Thanks for this vid!
Thank you for the wonderful comment! Glad you enjoyed it
@@JonBear Would it be possible to make a video with your Father, once a month, or month and a half? Between your amazing videography/photography skills, and your Dad’s knowledge. This is a beautiful and informative piece of educational art. As a side note. I found your channel through one of the vacation videos, and subscribed then. It was not long before the eruption. So glad I did! Thank you for all of your time and work put into all of your posts. 🕊💛🕊
@@ImaLeshLushnIcantgetmyPhil Thank you Noelle! It's a great suggestion and Iceland has a lot of geological wonders that we could explore and talk about. My dad is interested in doing something like this. However from June I will be going to Dubai for a year so we won't make those videos until next year!
@@JonBear That would be wonderful! Hopefully you could make one more before you leave. Especially since the diversion tacit for the lava didn’t work for long. If not, it is completely understandable since you will be leaving Iceland in a couple of weeks. Sure that an amazing opportunity is awaiting you in Dubai for the next year. Hopefully you will be able to post some beautiful video from there once in awhile. Your vacation videos are what drew me in to your channel. Watched the one or two just before the eruption and subscribed immediately! If you don’t post anything else before going to Dubai. Best of luck with your newest endeavor!!! Thank you for all of your fantastic videos of Iceland and the newest camera/drone equipment 🙂🕊
Thanks for the very thorough explanation.. This was better than what the Icelandic volcanologist have stated.
Well he is Icelandic Geologist... so just saying :)
Just quality content.
Finally a knowledgeable narrative. Thank your dad for us.
Your videos are brilliant and enjoyable; so is your commentary. I have enjoyed the volcano videos so much.
Thanks for the great Video, your pops is awesome.
Good to have an expert on hand and great aerial video, well done, looking forward to an update.
Thank you! We will monitor the eruption. Right now the magma production has increased and the government is trying to direct it.
I particularly enjoyed your father, the geologist, explaining the nature of the rocks formed by this volcanism.
The drone shot at 16:00 puts the size of the lava field in relation to a man in perspective. It must be so incredible and humbling to actually be there.
Your dad is a fantastic instructor and your creative camera, editing and production is just as good. Thanks to you both. Next time you go up there might I suggest bringing helmets (like bike helmets) with you to protect your heads! Enjoyed immensely watching and learning the geology of the volcano and surrounds.
Thanks for the advice! We will bring helmets next time (or stay at a safe distance!)
Yes helmets is a must! We live and learn!
Many thanks to your Dad for the great commentary. Thank You for the great footage Jon. Stay safe. 🙏
The father was the best about this video.
Fascinating, well-done Papa Bear!
After months of watching live cams, it was amazing to see the land up close. Almost as good as a going there in person. Having a geologist along? Super bonus!
What a fantastic Dad you are lucky to have. The BBC could do with him and this whole video of yours. Terrific! Thanks for sharing!!
I learned a lot of stuff today I wasn't expecting today
From the introduction I was thinking, Wow, might finally learn something. But then I saw how much emphasis he put on his filming equipment and thought, ah-oh, a boy and his toys trying to sound informative. By the end of it I have to admit, I was half wrong. It was about a boy and his toys, along with his father who knew a thing or two.
Everyone needs a geologist Dad
Very educational and good stuff for the eyes of those who love geology and volcanoes. It was shared to the international FB-Group "volcanoes and volcanism". Well done, thanks for this! Greetings from Garmisch-P., Germany
Thank you Christoph! Glad to hear someone shared it there sound like people in that group would really enjoy this
Thanks for your Dad’s narrative
Was very well put together and your fathers lecture was excellent. I enjoyed it and was able to lean about the eruption .
Your father is great at explaining this eruption in layman’s terms. Thanks
Great video We’ve been watching the whole event unfold since the earthquake swarm began Thank you Thank thank your Dad for all the most interesting info 👍🏻🙋🏻♀️
Thank you Lydia!
This looks like much work💪thank you guys! I realy ❤ this documentary style👏👍✌
Wow that was the best video I've seen so far that describes exactly what is happening in iceland with the volcano. Your Dad did an awesome job of explaining it in a way that made it easy to understand. It is also the first time I have seen the rocks falling on people 20 seconds after the eruption. That kind of made me feel that people are getting way too close to a volcano that was dormant for thousands of years & no one really knows what it is going to do. Brilliant video Jon Bear.
Just had to watch your father, the Geologist’s explanations of this eruption, again & again. We hope he can give us more of his valuable knowledge & time again. He explains so clearly. Please invite him for a longer lecture on this volcanic system? Thank you🙏🏼
Foremost, I want to thank Ólafur Íngólfsson for these great explanations. He foremost knows to explain, so even a 6 year old can understand. Ergo, he fully understands it himself. I surely hope that he will join you even more often and teach us about the wonders of the Earth.
This was great. I love how you combined everybody's experience with the awesome explanations by your father. Definitely looks like National Geographic material. Your videos are very balanced. 😎
Thank you brother for the high praise!
Well done to you and your dad. He certainly knows his stuff.
Hi from UK oh my I could listen to your Dad forever 😄 i love geology is amazing. Thank you to you and your Dad for taking the trip. Don't forget your hard hats next time 😉 xx
Your father is a great man who explains everything even for the uneducated person that I am. Fantastic video! Thank you all!
I am so happy to hear that Rene! I will have to make more videos with him :)
Your Dad gave the most informative explaintion of the volcano I have heard ....Thanks it was awesome
Glad your dad took time to give very interesting explanation of the volcano and the lava. Thanks Dad.
This isn't good content, it's absolutely fantastic! One of the best videos of the eruption I've seen. And much thanks to your father, it was fascinating listening to him explain what's happening.
Love your dad's technical explanations that are easy to follow by a layman
Jon Bear Some thing told me to hop on you tube here in Phoenix Az at 6am . I have been waiting for this thank you .
Jon Bear I just had to come back and comment again thank you that was great and may I suggest a helmet !!!LoL!!! . I have come to think of this vent as being a grumpy old man , he was really grumpy to you guys . But he tossed a friendship rock at your girlfriend , here in the States that's what some of us call rocks with a hole in them , you put a string through the hole and give it to your best friend to wear around their neck . I love rocks . My grandma called me her rockhound . I don't know anything about them I just know when they make my heart and eyes feel good . Mr Ingolfsson thank you for sharing your knowledge with us . If you do this again could you talk about some the beautiful things that volcanoes can create . I wonder what this one making maybe a precious gem that won't be found for thousands of years . This was so worth a 6am visit to you tube . Have a great day !
Thank you Felicia! I am so happy to hear your 6am visit to KZhead paid off! Definitely next time we will wear helmets and goggles. This was an unexpected situation. Yes he can share a lot about how crystals are formed in the lava which we didn´t go into this time. Maybe next time!
@@JonBear Yes, please!
Fascinating and excellent video .... thank you
I love the snap crackle pop of the cooling lava plane.
Thanks to your dad he really has a gift to explain all this to the average person like me. It's my bedtime and I became so relaxed listening to your dad. Thank you ❗️
Your Father #ProfessorOlafurIngolfsson is an extraordinary! & excellent educator. We have closely watched on KZhead, this volcano system since 21 March 21 from the USA 🇺🇸 No one has explained as the professor did here. This is the 1st time ANYONE explained so thoroughly, the relationship between the Intercontinentali Rift and Volcanism in Iceland 🇮🇸 Professor Ingolfsson is a BRILLIANT EDUCATOR. I fully plan to recommended this channel & this video to others on the Livestream channels’ where viewers, thousands of them come to learn about this Reykjanes peninsula system online. Please, have your father teach us more? And we thank both he and you as the videographer, for such a clear, interesting, and informative education. I’m so impressed.
Your photography of this volcanic event and your Father's knowledge is exceptional! Thank you both for sharing and allowing me to experience!
Outstanding! Your father is an excellent presenter, and considering that English is not likely to be his first language, his presentation and English skills are perfect! There have been many videos of the Geldingadalur volcano eruption, but this really is the very best of them by a mile. Very informative, brilliantly created, very well edited, and outstandingly presented by your dad. Thank you for putting the time and effort into this. Greetings from Wales, Jon. John.
Your Dad rocks! He really knows his stuff.
A great, informative video. Your dad was really interesting and clear. Lots of questions answered.
That's great! We really wanted to cover it thoroughly
It was a nice trip with you and papi 🌸 I wanna go back there again soon 🌋
Excellent video, both filming and commentary by your Dad, many thanks to the three of you for making it !!
Thank you. A real pleasure to listen to your father geologist ! Very interesting ! Hope everything will be ending well with less damages!🌋👍
Now that you’ve entered Mordor I’m sure Mt. Doom is just around the corner! Epic video. Appreciate your efforts. In late 70s I was lucky enough to see Mt. Hekla erupt. Only had Cannon SLR to document my visit back then. Thanks for new memories.
I'm waiting for someone who wants to sacrifice a drone and fly it inside the volcano until it dies. Saw your other two vids...this one I enjoyed because it was very peaceful and kind... like the energy of this specific volcano. Thanks to your father for his insights. That was good.
Your father is wonderfully clear! Great video! Thank you so much!!!
Thanks for this Jon. My circumstances won't allow me to travel to Iceland to see all this wonderful geology for myself but your productions are the next best thing. Your father's commentary is highly appreciated.
I'm from Los Angeles and we just had a small 2.7 earthquake caused by the San Andreas fault. I just stumbled on your youtube and I love it. It's definitely making me wanting to take a trip to see the volcano. ♡
