RVK Newscast #78: More Than 10,000 Earthquakes Over The Last Days

Published 2021-03-01

Iceland—or its capital area to be more precise—is currently being hit by large earthquakes several times a day. Scientists fear a volcanic eruption at Reykjanes, but there seems to be no sign of one just yet. Also, scientists are seriously worried that an earthquake of 6.5 in magnitude could take place, which might well inflict damage on nearby neighbourhoods. And animals are not too happy about the shakes; Pollý, for example, is quite stressed.

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 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.

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!

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.

I have paranoia since last week 🤣 I’m working in tallest building in Reykjavik and I don’t want to go to work anymore, let’s hope that big one will be after 4 a clock 🤣👌🏼Takk 🇮🇸

Iceland is like another world. Nothing else like it on the whole earth.

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.:_volcano:

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.

That road is so scary! I drove a Volkswagen Golf up to the parking area, and didn´t think we could make it! But, the hike was incredible... So stunningly quiet out there...

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! 🙏

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.
@dennisparshall5204 3 years ago

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?

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.🌋❄️
