Maravilloso lugar!
Hermoso lugar!!

Can't wait to see how it'll look in 50 years.
Thanks for this document about a beautiful place. I'll go there next year (2022) with my own vehicle (an Opel Combo). How is the 953 between Sólbrekka and the Dalatangi Lighthouse ?
I like the scenery
🌱🌏💚
Obviously it reminds French countryside....🙃🤭🤔
So interesting. Who in hell could imagine that this is possible on that deserted island.
Me
Apparently it wasnt even deserted before the vikings migrated there a thousand years ago. I guess they needed a lot of wood for building their settlements and whole areas were cleared for farming and raising sheep. It was about 25 - 40% forested.
Such a nice place 👌
REFORESTAR REFORESTAR árboles nativos para que VUELVA el ciclo de vida. Los árboles regulan la temperatura en la corteza TERRESTRE. No existiría el cambio climático. No existiría el calentamiento global. Resguardan las NAPAS SUBTERRÁNEAS el agua. Árboles SEÑORES.
That was not much forest in the video...
So you got all that from a little video huh
Iceland boasts it’s got trees. Doesn’t say much for Iceland, does it?
Hubiera quedado mejor si lo hubierais narrado
No wearing boardshorts outdoors? Aloha
👍👍

An amazing part of Iceland.

was it planted intentionally?
@@LowerTheBoom cool
Soon South Greenland will also have big intentionally planted forests.
Most of it is natural though. When the vikings came to Iceland a good portion of it (you will see esimates like 25% or 40%) were covered by birch (Betula pubescens) woodlands and forests. Other trees either didn't form forests (Sorbus aucuparia ) or were very rare (Populus tremula). Due to cutting and grazing the woodlands, and our vegetation and soil resources over all, declined. At the end of the 19th century only 1% of Iceland was covered by birch woodlands and forests. Then the Forestry Service was founded (along with the Soil Conservation Service of Iceland) and it started protecting woodlands and forests around Iceland, among them Hallormsstaðaskógur which you can see in the video. It also began planting non-native trees. Today Iceland´s birch forests have grown little, cover around 1.5% of the country, largely due to reduced grazing and improved climate. Iceland also has a fledgling timber industry, with tree plantations covering around 0.4% of the country, largely formed by non-native trees. Hallormsstaðaskógur is among these recovering forests. It has increased its cover through increased birch cover and non-native trees have been planted around and to some extent into the existing birch forest.
Almost, about 70% of the forest, when the area was protected by the government in the early 20th century, there were natural remnants of a birch forest dating back to the time of settlement.
Amazing! Must go there!
Looks awesome!
I couldn't believe how many good football facilities there were in the little towns when I went to Iceland. Places with a population of under 300 had better facilities than we have in a town of 10,000 in the UK.
Kvađ í rukll er þatta
Its a beautiful area and I want to come back some day!
What date/month this taken please?
