Doomsday Volcanoes: Will Another Icelandic Volcano Erupt? | Full Documentary | Reel Truth. Science

April 2010 saw the eruption of Iceland's Eyjafjallajökull volcano, which caused Europe to become an ash-strewn no fly zone, causing millions of flights to be cancelled. But this seems to be just the start. The Icelandic volcano Katla has started to swell and grumble plus two more giants, Hekla and Laki could erupt without any warning. Iceland is becoming geological monster and when the volcanoes erupt the consequences could be global. In this documentary atmospheric scientists look closer into what the impact would be if there was an eruption and also how we can prepare ourselves for the aftermath that would follow.

Welcome to Reel Truth. Science the home of inspiring documentaries from the scientific and medical world. Here you can find full length documentaries to discover and explore.

Speaking as an Icelander, the beginning of this video is the most American beginning of a video I have ever watched. "Killer clouds" "Doomsday volcanos!"


Icelanders live with the threat of eruption every day but we hardly ever consider it. As a nation, we have lived through so many of those eruptions that it just doesn't affect us that greatly anymore. We know what to do when it happens, until then, we just go about our day. This video was much more dramatic than it needed to be.

Don't know if you'll ever read this, but here goes:
Laki is NOT an independent volcanic system. The Laki eruption was the product of a deep injection of magma from the nearby Grimsvotn system, similar to what happened in Holuhraun in 2014, when the underground magma tunnel formed all the way from Barđabunga, 100km away. The reason our geologists are still keeping an eye on the Laki region is the connection between the Barđabunga and Veiđivotn systems, 200km apart, with Laki sitting directly between them. Has nothing to do with the fissures around Laki, because that's all they are: Fissures.

Before you watch this… just know it’s made for Americans that love a good doomsday story

[Caiddenn]

Alarmist? Yes. But since I'm going to Iceland soon it's also a leet promo vid.

You are wrong about Iceland having the unique volcano they can study from inside. The Azores islands have one two, and it’s genesis is quite similar. It’s located on Terceira island, I’ve been there 3 times.
At the bottom we can find a crystal clear water lake. The volcano name’s “Algar do Carvão. You don’t need a lifter to get inside, they built a tunnel to get there.

well the next volcano happened to be a baby one

[mechellekingman]

Could be catastrophic for the northern hemisphere

[psalmerperena]

Wish they added Grimsvötn and Bardarbunga in this documentary

[philipmcdonagh]

As the Earth ages it cools down internally and there will be less and less volcanoes which is good. But if it cools down to much we are really screwed. No magnetic field.

❤ SKIP YOUTUBE ADS GO TO THE END THEN RESTART 🙏

[juliahamilton-burke]

Keep calm and carry on obviously is not in the american psyche

[Tile_Glue]

Yes, less airplanes and volcanoes will cause less problems ...

Curious to know: when you compare results from the UKMO, ECMWF and GFS models, do you exchange results, maybe with some extra processing, or are you running a copy of the code for each of the other two models on the computer system in Exeter?

[sheridanwhippey]

I want to go to Uni and get a Degree in Volconunology 😃😃

[simonzinc-trumpetharris]

It'd also the smell of stagnant water.

[Qallyx]

Nothing will ever be funnier than than this guy trying to be serious and sound cool, but have that pronounciation of the Icelandic names

[shrek]

I hope to see a Super Volcano eruption before they spread my ashes, it will really fuckup this Pale Blue Dot

[Yggi]

Why do ALL English-speakers mispronounce Reykjavík the same way?

[albertchehade]

So, volcanoes are simply 'pressure relief
