Follow us on our winter roadtrip through Iceland!
This one was truly a wild ride! We spent two weeks exploring Iceland in March, driving through raging blizzards, swimming in glacial water, and marveling at unfathomably blue ice. This trip allowed us to experience Iceland from many different perspectives - and made us hungry for more!

💚💚You deserve 100 million subscribers... wonderful, beautiful, amazing... Thank you from the bottom of my heart... New follower from Dubai
Im a park ranger in snæfellsjökulsþjóðgarður and I would just like to thank you for pointing out all the important factors of keeping the tourist sites as preserved as we can, such as when you pointed out walking outside of a path. Really important info!!
Thank you for your comment! This really means a lot to us. We try to gently educate wherever we can, and sticking to a path is really the least that can be done :)
I believe you’re the only person viewing this that can pronounce that park.
@@devilinbaggypants7320lmao
I clicked on the video for the Defender and stayed for an awesome adventure 🤟😎
Yuhu, then both the thumbnail and the video worked 😁
@@LucasTJahn and... the ever mighty UA-cam algorithm 😂
one q how many times did it broke
This documentary deserves a million of likes at least!! I'm literally so obsessed😍
Starting from the breathtaking beauty of Iceland till the awe of Cinematography, Surreal Music , Picture perfect voicelines and the sense of calmess in the voice and the whole video , this maybe the best depiction of Iceland EVER on youtube . Stunning Job Lucas !!!!
Thank you so much for your support! This really means a lot to us! Very glad you enjoyed it :)
This is so breathtaking! Here's a field in Sweden!
ua-cam.com/video/nf4VN2mdvCc/v-deo.html&si=EnSIkaIECMiOmarE
You two are the best on UA-cam about places while traveling in my opinion, Thank you again after watching your brilliant Norway video, you speak almost Poetically, Peace
Also, It is one of the happiest and safest countries
It is always a treat to watch your videos, the amount of precision it goes behind your cinematography and narration, we are just lucky we can watch this for free. This channel is massively underrated.
Thank you very much! Your kind words mean a lot to us 😊
I lived in Iceland for 12 years, winter has it's own beauty, great footage.
Is it real cold?
I am giving my opinion after watching 6minutes . This is one of the best video i've ever seen in my life..
This video has a criminally low amount of likes. The filming, editing, narrating is so professional. Outstanding drone work and outstanding cinematography. I hope you achieve that golden 4:1 views to like ratio on this video.
Thank you so much for your kind words! A lot of our viewers watch on their TV, which explains our low like and subscriber ratios, I believe. But hey, as long as people enjoy our documentaries, we are really happy :)
As a Spaniard, I find Iceland's nature truly awe inspiring and terrifying at the same time, kind of like petting a polar bear
Haha, this is hilarious! Petting a polar bear is such a funny way to describe the Icelandic winter weather 😅
You've done an amazing work with this documentary -
The way you show Iceland through your lenses, through your eyes and how you transport us directly to the adventure with a beautiful narrative is just amazing.
Thanks for creating and sharing this magnific content!
Thank you very much for your support :)
I've been to Iceland 7 years ago... your video reminds of Iceland and moves me to tears!!!!
Just awesome.... Don't have words to describe this video... Couldn't take eye off the screen even for a minute.... Simply brilliant....
criminally underrated documentary!!!!
I feel you miss the unique beauty of Iceland when it’s covered in snow. If I didn’t know you were in Iceland I could not have guessed from the footage. Cinematography is excellent and music is perfect
I decided to go to Iceland after watching your video! Outstanding work, thank you!
I turned it on just to have something in the background during my house chores, but soon I found myself paying all my attention to the monitor and hooked by your poetic narration. It seems you have a beautiful soul that helps you transfer such beauty to the viewer.
Thank you 🥰
It is better than many travelling TV shows IMO.
Thank you! 😊
UTTERLY BEYOND BEAUTIFUL
This brings back very fond memories of my campervan road trip in March 2022
Winter in Iceland is really a special time 😁
First time on your channel and it's just stunning.
One thing I must mention, the narration is so sweet that it is both pleasing to the eyes and ears! I really enjoyed the entire series and will definitely give it a rewatch any time I feel stressed! I am glad I came across this channel! Thanks for this beautiful content!
Thank you! Very happy to hear that you enjoy our type of documentary. We definitely plan to produce many more of them in the future 😊
Thanks a lot. You did a great job.
The film is stunning.
One of the most beautiful documentaries I’ve seen.
Thank you! 😊
After watching the Norway documentary, I am watching this now, towards completion... it's really captivating and very well picturised, documented. Great work!!!
Thanks for the beautiful memories of Iceland. Very nice!
First of all I want to start by saying your video is world class! Such a beautiful documentary. I was in Iceland for 2 weeks about a week ago (end of sept to second week of Oct) and now that I'm back home I miss it so very much. Your video takes me right back but gives me a whole different view and I can't wait to go back again. I would definitely recommend going in the spring or fall season so you can get a more wholesome experience of Iceland while still skipping the large tourist crowds
Thank you very much! Highly appreciate that 😊 we definitely have plans to return to Iceland because there is still so much to be explored. Let’s see when that will happen 😊
one of the best youtube creator!! Such an amazing editing and visualization
awsome quality,awsome explanation,man u r on another level,verry good capturing views,ariel views are all too good,apprciate ur effort and hardwork reall y good
I really enjoyed this beautiful and well-narrated documentary. Very, very useful for planning my family's trip in Dec 2023!
So glad you find it helpful 😊
Lived in Keflavik for 3 years in the military. I drove a front wheel drive Toyota Tercel. Never got stuck. Just watch the BLACK ICE. That is what killed Americans while I was there. Safest country ever. If you see someone stranded it's their law you must stop and assist in white out conditions. Blue Lagoon is a must.
I'm literally speechless! Don't know how to express this magnificent beauty of Iceland! Extremely well made video! Countless times I've said 'oh my god just look!"😅 Brilliant just brilliant! Love from India 🇮🇳
Thank you so much :) Iceland is truly full of what we always call 'fabulous landscapes' :D
Super underrated channel, I hope you guys can do smaller vlogs though so that we can see more of ur travel
Since I have no plans of going there during winter,I enjoyed the breathtaking sceneries of Iceland thru your vlogs( excellent videos and narratives).Your the only vlogs that showed Iceland as it’s best during winter.Thanks
Прекрасные съемки ,большое спасибо, еще в школе мечтал попасть в Исландию, не пришлось.Этот фильм послужил заменой. Юрий Самодуров из Москвы.
I think Iceland should pay you for your public information service - this was a great advert for a great place. Thank you for the effort you clearly put into this.
“Beauty at low temperatures is beauty”
This was absolutely incredible from start to finish. So well done!
Probably the best video I have seen on Iceland. I was there is 2017 and this vid brings back good memories. Thank you very much. Greetings from Singapore.
We went to Iceland last summer while the volcano was erupting. We booked a helicopter ride over the top of it, but it was going so hard it was producing it's own weather and we weren't permitted to fly. Other then that, we saw a number of the sights shown here; absolutely awesome! I'm already planning a winter overlanding trip for this coming year - can't wait to go back!
Your narration filming editing and planning was really excellent. I’ve binge watched 3 trips that you and lovely wife have done. So naturally exciting that you live the outdoors like myself. I’d much rather be in nature than a city for vacation. Thank you for the production💕it’s a great escape for me as well✨💫
Breathtaking Iceland! Didn’t know all these wonders existed there. Beautiful waterfalls, lava fields, numerous churches & crystal clear water to dive in. Thanks for such a wonderful adventure. 🙋🏼♀️👍🏻🇺🇸
Iceland is really a treasure trove! And what is most impressive is that we barely scratches the surface. There is so much more to discover 😅🥳
@@LucasTJahn Hope you go back sometime & continue this fabulous journey. 👍🏻🇺🇸
Makes me totally love the people with whom I came from!
You guys made unbelievable videos, you are well prepared and very professional. Great challenge and I admire you both. Bravo!🎉
Thank you very much 😊🥰
Just came across your clip, nicely done man. Love the way you tell the story. Two thumbs up
Fantastic videos. Fascinating to say the least. Relaxing and informative. Beautiful videography.
Simply stunning.
Also excellent camera work
Lucas, came upon your channel just today (10/30), and really enjoyed the narrative, video, and music. Many people have vlogs but very few, in my opinion, can excel in all those areas. Your voice is easy to listen to and you present in an informative and intelligent way. Thanks for bringing me to Iceland. I look forward to when you return there when it’s green. Kay, from Franklin, Tennessee, USA
Thank you Kay! If everything works out, we might return to Iceland in 2023 😊
Thank You for uploading this video.I always keep waiting for you guys to upload the videos.They heal me.❤️
Thank you so much! Very happy to hear you enjoy our documentaries :)
I'd say summertime would always be my preference when it comes to visiting Iceland. I can still remember all the wonderful colors I've witnessed back in August 2017 and you get lots of daylight too! Still, the advantage I guess of going in winter is that there's much less tourists and prices I think would be cheaper? And of course the winter landscape itself will have its unique charm too! Thanks for sharing. :)
Thanks for this beautiful documentary. Mostly people film Iceland in summer (which is beautiful), but Iceland at the end of winter is magical.
This is the first video I saw Silfra in such a wonderful way! Congratulations for your great job. Blessings.
Amazing Documentary. Glad to be here on your channel.
This brings back so many wonderful memories. We (wife and I) had our first trip ever to Iceland on 2022 and I fell in love with it. Unfortunately, we couldn't do the Golden ring due to time but what we did, Reykjavik to Egilsstadir, was so mesmerizing that we will go back for the rest. The raw beauty, the scenery, the openness, the people.....I can't single anything out because it was all incredible and I love the fact that it's kept in its natural beauty. Iceland is a MUST for anyone. Until next time Iceland!!!!
Outstanding, I'm in complete awe 👌
You are such great travelers and always capture the essence of the place. Thank you so much for all the beauty you bring to us.
Overall well done video showing Iceland as close to reality as possible. Very rare example. The only remark - two weeks would be better spent for the Round trip.
Most enjoyable as well as informative! 😎👍🏻
Thank you so much... Now i know what iceland looks like...
The more I watch your documentaries, the more I know about new countries! Thanks a lot for your great work.
Hey, what a treat! Your videos are so excellent, so rich and informativ. Thanks for letting us take part in your beautiful adventures, I look so forward to hopefully revisit with both of you in summertime💕
Man you have beaten all big documentary producers directors
The way you described is on top it is much better then planet earth
Thank you so much! :)
Wow, this is doc breath taking!
what a masterpiece of firm this is
There's beauty in snow covered landscape and there are those that don't. Somehow, Iceland reminds me of melancholy, isolation and death. Death Stranding.
Seen several documentaries of Iceland in summer, but this is the first in winter. I got cold seeing you! But how beautiful. Specially the black beaches always are amazing. And the blue inside the glacier! Thank you so much for sharing your trips with us house sparrows!
It was definitely a wild ride! Very glad you enjoyed this one. Love the term 'house sparrows' btw :)
Wow. What a fantastic documentary! As a child I always wanted to visit or live in Germany and I realized that dream at 28 years old when I lived there from 2000-2003. As an adult I want to visit Iceland. I'm not sure that will happen but this documentary let me see and experience this beautiful country in an unexpected way. And during the winter which I love! Thank you for sharing your travels with us and I look forward to watching more of your videos. :)
Wow what an absolute treat to have this in my feed on a Saturday morning. Beautiful trip and film making.
This is one of the best travel video I have seen ❤️
What a wild ride this video is.- overwhelmingly stunning. Thanks for putting it together, the narrative,... everything!! So powerful
Primal beauty, Stunning documentary, did similar trip 4 yrs ago. Thanks
Stunning trip - amazing visuals
AWESOME made! Thank you for your time, effort!
beautifull.. i was there in winter of 2019 but your video made me to go again.
Still , stunningly beautiful snowscapes !
Very talented at making such an engaging videos. Thanks 🙏
that truck is sick
...I am sure this took you LOTS of hours. I think people who edit know how many time we do spend on it . Congrats for your complete documentary about this fabulous country
Best Video about Iceland :) thx for your work!
Nice photography and trip. Sound volume between the music and quiet narration can be jarring. I spilled my coffee.
Muy hermoso, yo soy de Chile, lo mas cercano a Islandia es nuestra Patagonia, que ganas de visitar esa gran isla !
Es maravilloso, también porque su cultura es muy distinta a la nuestra (Latina) y eso complementa muchisimo. Lo vale todooooo!! ojalá puedas conocer, yo estuve en Noviembre del año pasado, y fui muy afortunada con las Auroras Boreales danzando por encima de Reikiavik por varios días. Saludos desde Colombia.
We are blown away by your cinematography skills. From Canada - Betty, Chris and Stoyana. Thank you.
Congratulation! Even better than some professional BBC documentaries.
Thank you so much! This really means a lot to us 😊
i love your respect for nature and people. very wholesome vibes.
This is a wonderful documentary!
without words!! thanks for sharing it !!
High quality video. I feel like I am at those places you are filming.view from the air is outstanding 👍.keep it up.
Great Documentary Lucas, was lucky enough to be there with my daughter in August 2021 and witness the Volcano erupting in front of our eyes in exactly the spot you were stood in 🌋 a once in a lifetime moment. Will be returning next year in Summer again and 4x4 to witness the Westfjords and Glacier regions that we didn’t access last time. An incredible country ❤️🇮🇸
Hello Lucas Jahn nice to meet you here I love watching your travel documentary road trip stay safe I'm watching from the Philippines
Great video. Takes some stones to do it in Winter! But such a unique perspective.
It really was! Entirely different compared to summer - which we cannot wait to experience as well :)
Excellent documentaries, impeccable narration. High quality overall! Thank you
Hi there you two. That is one of the best travel video i have seen, Great job you guys! Now I just need to work more on videos. Thanks for the inspiration...

Aesthetic video. Appreciate your efforts
Beautifully captured.
Hey Lucas, I really enjoyed your adventure. I lived in Iceland for about 16 months and experienced the same things, and some more in summer time. Your images are wonderful.
Spent Christmas of 2019 in Iceland and had a fantastic time. Would love to go back again in the summer time.
