    I found your channel when waiting for the eruption of the new volcano and am just getting into all its facets. What a channel! Volcanos & lava, Icelandic saga story time, regular type news and today when my jaw was not dropping in wonder at the scenery and your & Art’s endurance & unbelievable hiking ability I was smiling at Polly’s neverending energy and her happiness no matter where you go! I’ve never yet stopped one of the videos before the end because they hold my interest the whole time. I also really enjoy Fiona’s dry, witty humor, she’s a pleasure to watch, as are Dr Roby’s magical stories. You should be careful because you make me & I’m sure many others want to become Icelanders! Thanks for all you do, I have many hours of past videos to watch as well as your ongoing new ones. I have so many questions about your hiking trips but they are probably answered in other videos so will post if not.

    I think this is probably my favorite video of the Abandoned Iceland series. Can’t wait to be able to travel to Iceland and challenge myself on this trail. ⛰

    Well that's Hengill added to my itinerary for the next trip to Iceland - spectacular - though I might need to get much fitter! Thank-you Valur. And how much energy does Polly have? She seems unstoppable!

    Valur is cool but the true chad here is Art. Hiking with camera equipment is no joke.

    So beautiful thank you! - but please tell us that Polly knows not to burn her paws by running onto the hot ground though? I worried about her!

    • @TheReykjavikGrapevine
      @TheReykjavikGrapevine  3 роки тому +2

      The ground is fine. But it's a different thing if she goes into the water. It smells so bad, that she would never step into it if it wasn't safe.

    Another great video! Those 'houses like bowls' are called 'geodesic domes" designed by Buckminster Fuller way back when. The eroded piles of rock on top of the mountain look like goblins! And there are landslide scars all around you up there. Do you have wings already? Don't stand so close to the edge! Gee whiz!

    "Don't bathe in it, you'll basically burn and die." Well, look, more scenic places for fictional thriller murders. :D
    In all seriousness, thanks a lot for sharing all the amazing places with us.

    Valur, You and Art (and Polly) would love the North American southwest, centered on the "Four Corners" area of the USA where the states of Colorado, Utah, Arizona, and New Mexico meet at a point. To the northeast is the Canyonlands area of Utah, to the west is Monument Valley, made famous in John Ford cavalry movies of the 1940-1950s and further west, the Grand Canyon. Southwest is the 1 mile in diameter Meteor Crater and the Arizona desert, and northeast the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. Just south of Four Corners is a huge black basalt volcanic throat, a reminent of a volcano where the ash and tuff has completely eroded leaving only the hardened lava center. This object is called Rock with Wings by the Navajo who live nearby, but called Ship Rock by the Europeans who first saw it 500 years earlier. The rock stands over 450 meters above the desert floor. Long crevices of black rock lead away from the rock, some running for miles in these badlands. The Navajo call them trails of long-cold black "monster blood" from the time long ago in their mythology, a creation myth when their "Hero Twins" killed off terrible monsters who lived here before "the people" could inhabit this land. On a clear day (which is rare here) you can see Ship Rock from 100 km away.
    By the way, you don't walk on lava here either, as your horse is likely to break through the thin rock and break his ankle.
    Your long views of Iceland remind me of this area, which is a favorite part of my world. I too derive great pleasure from looking out over a huge, geologically fascinating landscape. When I was younger and could hike all day as you do, I particularly enjoyed sharing these special places with friends, old and new.

    Brilliant video series. I just came back from Iceland & a ring road camping trip. You are showing me all the places I want to come back and see. By the way, how do you keep dogs safe in geothermal areas?

    • @TheReykjavikGrapevine
      @TheReykjavikGrapevine  3 роки тому +1

      They are smart enough to keep away from the hot rivers. Probably smarter than we are in that regard.

    How long did this hike take you?

    • @TheReykjavikGrapevine
      @TheReykjavikGrapevine  3 роки тому +4

      Typically it's around 4 hours. But me and Art were there for six hours or so.
