As a retired TV sound recordist I enjoyed seeing the piece of volcanic stone riddled with tiny holes that you picked up on your way to the lighthouse. The lava was full of hot gases forcing their way through the lava until it cooled and solidified, hence the little 'wormholes'. Acoustically it is a wonderful material as it does not reflect sound. I once recorded an interview in a large underground chamber in an old lava field. I did not need to get my microphone close to the interviewee because the absence of reverberation meant that speech was still crystal clear even if the mic. was several feet away from him. If you had collected a few sacks of those stones to take home you could have made a wonderful commentary booth from them. Nerdy comment completed.
Seriously Steve, you remain one of the few channels on UA-cam I consistently watch every video of. All I can say is just keep doing your thing. Cheers from the Netherlands! :^)
Morning Steve, Yes by all means keep the hat on to eat lunch outside in those temperatures, but I love how you show respect by removing it inside Churches, sadly in this modern world so many people don't bother.
I thought that as well as he entered and thought about the history and how women were made to cover theirs in so many cultures for so many weird centuries so I'll keep mine on. 😉
When I was little I asked mom if I could get a hat. She said it would make me go bald. So I never wore one and guess what happened? Now I have several hats to choose from. I hate taking them off but in church or at the dinner table? I'll think about it, lol. Kidding.
@@BackyardSwingset when you enter a Synagogue you are supposed to cover your head, Male or Female (though you do not enter thesame area)... not sure what it is like in a Mosque... been a few times, but not in the part where you pray. in Buddhist temples, you are supposed to take off your shoes, and in some cases socks (depends on exactly where you are)... same I think in Hindu and Sikh places of worship... though I am not sure. that is to say If you take all of history, not covering your head as a sign of respect is probably true for a fairly small section of cultures (not even all Christians have that, many African & Arabic Orthodox churches follow closer to the Jewish Tradition)
Icelander here and I am so impressed by your pronunciations of the otherwise tricky Icelandic language. Love your take on our city as well and our land.
Your country is beautiful, and so different from Australia where I live. I probably will never get to your lovely country, so Steve is the next best thing and he obviously loves Reykjavik! Easy to see why. Best wishes from an Aussie
I went to Reykjavik about 40 years ago. I was on my way to Europe and stopped over for three or so days. I must say, the Icelandic people certainly know how to party. They were having a celebration - national , I think. I remember a place called Thors(?) Cafe. It was a nightclub. I remember a sun that stayed in the sky for about 20 hours. I do remember the people were strikingly good looking . I felt a bit like a brown wren.
I wish I could tell you how much I love the way you film and narrate your journey. If something goes wrong….no problem figure something else out. You have such an honest style to the way you work. Not sanitised like many other channels.
@ Icelandic lettlopi wool is easy to knit with, sweaters are normally plain stocking stitch in the body with a colourwork yoke, the wool is Aran weight and not expensive.
I have knitted so many of these icelandic sweaters and one for my brother in law had 350 stitches on it a real labour of love! Took me months to finish it but very rewarding! Love these sweaters!
"Some dude at the top of the hill..." Hilarious - laughed out loud. You are one tough Scot to eat lunch in zero degree weather sitting on a metal chair! Love your videos & I just subscribed. I agree with you: I'd MUCH rather watch a true-to-life travel video than a highly edited, polished one. Excellent work - thank you for sharing your adventures with us (especially those of us who can't travel anymore - me due to disabilities. I miss traveling very much so to be able to still "visit" new places is a blessing.). Blessings from Michigan, USA.
As always, Steve, thanks for a normal blue-collar workers view and walkabout of Iceland. Like most American workers with normal working incomes, I would be eating in the exact same places as you, so it's as close to like being there myself as it can get. Everyone appreciates your spirit and effort.
Shopping. “I’ve got a very small bag with no space” think I will use that one when I go shopping with my wife😂. Great video. Been waiting for this one for 3 days. Never disappointed thank you again Steve. The things you do for UA-cam
Hi as a sufferer of claustrophobia (having been trapped in a lift for an hour years ago)...I find i much prefer travelling by ferry than by plane ..for obvious reasons like being able to walk around freely and get the wonderful breeze on deck.....we haven't done alot of ferry travel... mainly France which we love but those cabins can b challenging!! Thank you so much for all the work you put in to your videos.... it's a great help to those of us trying to broaden our scope ....greetings from Ireland ☘️
I've been 3 times and got married in Reykjavik. Absolutely lovely city, people are so friendly and welcoming. Also had the best burger ever from the little place by the harbour.
so much fun hanging with you Steve, my wife is Danish so she helps with the translation of some of the menu's and signs....but recently caught her reading the english below!!!
‘It’s always a good day when you see a lighthouse’ I think only you would say that 😃 No souvenir for Alicja ‘because she used to live here so doesn’t need one’ 😀 Great vlog as always
Watching your wee escapades in Iceland Steve we know you got back to Montrose before you left Reykjavik!!! But some of your viewers thought you were still looking for the bus stop in Seydisfjordur. All very bewildering. Such lovely exciting entertainment as per usual. Thank you Sir! 😛From France.
Remember how at my airbnb there - the host said to leave the windows open a bit, as she left them. Fresh air and was always warm from the hot water heating. Amazing place!! I like cold weather and would live there in a heartbeat !! 60+ countries thus far and Iceland easily makes the top 5.
Great to see Steve making a point of taking his hat off at the church. Love watching every weekend Steve, so relaxing and so refreshing to watch a blogger so respectful polite and friendly to people and to the wildlife. Walk with me Tim needs to learn from you. The best thing about getting home on a Saturday, take away and Steve Marsh makes the world a happy place 😊
I love that Reccy is so colourful! And the Church surely must be another Wonder of the World! And yes definitely Dundee vibes with the concert hall! 👍🙏🙋🏴🇮🇪
So nice of you, bringing the empty dishes back. ❤ The staff will appreciate it. Again a vid with good mood and scenes to just feel good. A little bit of chaos is wonderful and you are right: it's much better than clean and scripted ones! And of course: everything will be fine for you coming back home! 😊
Another great video. And I want that Cinnamon Roll even though I'm not normally a fan of them coz they are dry but that one you had looked amazing. You also said Alizia lived in Iceland. Wow. She seems to of had done great stories even before she met you. I know it probably weird but I'd love to know more about both of your journeys before "the channel". Please don't think I'm a freak. You both seem perfect for each other and it would be fascinating to piece a few bits together. Ok. I will shut up now. Love your work.
I've flown through Iceland a number of times, but I won't skip it next time. The city looks like one of the most beautiful you've ever visited on the channel. The weather helped, of course!
We've got great memories of Iceland in Dec 2023. We were flying out of Keflavik on the 19th, and the volcanic eruption started at about 22:00 on the 18th. Our bus drove with eye sight of the eruption, and the plane took off on time 😮. No worries, no stress. I enjoyed your tour, all places I walked around myself
what a perfect day. That soup shop is right up my alley!. Anyone visiting the city and who wants a jumper / sweater / knitwear should visit the Icelandic Handknit Shop. Excellent prices beautiful hand knit goods. Iceland Air use to have an excellent deal where you could fly to London from Seattle ( and other US cities) and have a 48 hour lay over at no extra airfare penalty. I checked just now and indeed they still have a great deal where you can add multi night layover.
Didn’t want your video to finish as so enjoyed it. The city is beautiful and so clean. The church was a amazing and the craftsman who built it and all the pews inside and the beautiful wood is a amazing as well. Love your little funny sayings and the bun looked yummy. 😀
I love your style of vlogging. As if one is there oneself. (must say that Reykjavik changed a lot since I've been there on a father-son trip 20 years ago). Just love to have been sort of back. Thanks Steve!
Love it Steve! We visited Reykjavik in January and watched the Northern Lights from Grotta Lighthouse. We were the only ones there and ended up staying till about 3.30am! Absolutely magical and got amazing photos 😁
What a great diversion. The church was beautiful. I was a little surprised that some men didn't take their hats off, but you did. I enjoy your video's. Thank you.
Steve, ahhh, seeing Reykjavik through your eyes is a beautiful experience.❤ And bravo for dining on meat soup in extremely cold weather. I love the quirky-cool Icelandic sights and your clear captures of the sea with docked ships. Thank you, thank you, thank you.😍
The mural at 04:35 made me do a double-take, as i recognised the style immediately. It's by an artist called Phlegm, from here in Sheffield, where there are quite a few of his murals scattered around.
...You are doing more than Okay, Steve. As you asked us to tell you ;-) I love to watch your authentic videos. You and Alicija are such great company and guides to show us the world, not at least all of us, who can not travel ourselves due to bad physical health and not having the money to travel. Some of us struggle just to pay for the internet access. God bless and protect both of you. Much love from Denmark
This is Steve's work ethic, "I don't like to upset the flow of my videos, so I don't even include mid-roll ads anymore (at significant loss of income to myself), so I prefer not to include sponsorships either. I'm open to a small slide at the start/end of each video, but I don't want to get into talking about products, it's something I don't like as a viewer myself (especially as a viewer who pays for UA-cam Premium). So it's probably a polite no, although all of this goes out the window if you offer me something which can give me the chance to make a video for my audience that would otherwise be impossible."
Never apologize for your video style. I like them because they give me the feeling of traveling with a friend. P.S. I hear a lot of American accents here, too-southern American. Thanks.
"Sometimes it's nice being lost" This is my attitude. I remember being in Bratislava and I knew which direction our destination was, but didn't know which roads would get us there. My son looked on Google Maps and kept telling me it said to go one way. We both kept laughing as I ignored what it said as there was a building with an interesting roof, roughly in thd direction of where we needed to be and I wanted to see the rest of the building. We got to where we needed to be and I got to see the building with the interesting roof. Sometimes it's nice just to have a bit of an explore. We also found a little shop, out of the way where I got a nice woolly hat that I wear ever winter. Google Maps didn't want us to go near either the building with the interesting roof, nor the cool little shop. I wouldn't have my nice woolly hat keeping my head warm if I'd paid attention to Google Maps. It's very handy if you need to be somewhere quickly and need the most direct route, but if I have time to do without it, that's always my preference. You miss so much otherwise.
So interesting to see Reykjavik from the eyes of a tourist. I recognise all those places and streets, but never really paid any attention to most of them. I've walked along that coastline many times though!
Steve. We haven't visited Iceland for many years. A beautiful place. We stayed in a hotel opposite the Hallgrimskirkja. That was a wonderful sight to wake up to each morning. Thank you for the day tour of Reykjavik.
Your usual great city tour. I have only seen Reykjavik in winter but it is lovely at any time. The soup is fantastic and they often do it inside a cut out loaf. That concert hall is worth going into too. When I went it was that windy I couldn't go the right way trying to cross the street, but it was covered in ice. It was lovely you showing me round again. Your video's are superb and better than any documentary on the TV. Thanks and all the best
Your Icelandic Odyssey is one of the best Travel Vlogs I've seen. What a beautiful Country it is. The way you wander, budget and work your way around shows us a route off the usual Tourist Trail's. Cracking ad always Big Yin. Big respect 😊
Visting all my bucket list destinations (and now adding ferry rides to it!) vicariously through your videos. Incredible journeys and incredible scenery! Enjoy all your videos. :)
My husband and I look forward to your uploads. You're so personable, sometimes we find ourselves answering when you ask a question 😄I've seen so many places I'd never have ventured to, thanks to your channel. From an ex pat Scot in Queensland, your authentic, entertaining presentations are always appreciated, please keep up the good work :)
Thanks for another wonderful adventure! I now realize how awfully tired you must’ve been, after your intense transit return to Montrose. 😟 That was a lot of walking, and you brought us so much! ❤ Loved the traditional meat soup (though the Cullen skink soup you shared on another vlog is still at the top of my list). 😉
Recently found these videos but very glad I did. Steve makes them very interesting. One tiny thing I would like, if he would linger on some shots just slightly longer,but hey I can just go back again eh. Steve I think puts in just the right amount of humour too,so doesn't get annoying . great work .
Thank you for these Iceland vids. My son went there for a week, but took no pictures, so it is nice to have a taste of what he saw. Really enjoyed these!!
I love that we get the good the bad and the ugly so to speak and that you leave in things such as your first attempt to visit the lighthouse. After seeing your midweek video of your journey home it's no wonder you were exhausted as you never stopped! Although one thing I noticed was I never saw you buy or have a drink, so hope in between filming you were getting some hydration. Cheers
Excellent video again, in a beautiful capital city and country, the best. Brought back memories. You were right, that dark building is thr parliament called Aþling (Athling)
The answer to your question about 1-day stopover, no, we went to Iceland on a cruise and stopped in a three ports, I reckon you need a week to experience Iceland properly, we are going back! another great video Steve, Saturday mornings just aren't the same without it!
Really enjoyed this (mind you, I always do enjoy your vlogs). We were in Iceland about this time last year and had a great time, including 24 hours in Reykjavik which was really enjoyable. It's nice to be reminded of the place - though we didn't go out to the lighthouse :)
Thanks Steve. Iceland has been on my bucket list for a while, but I left it there too long and now I'm too old to travel. It was a pleasure to see this video.

It is illegal in Iceland to take any stone or such like with severe penalties if caught at customs :)
Thanks for that interesting information, David 👍🏼
Very interesting for musicians like me either! Thanks!
is this similar to pummice ? interesting about the reverb or lack of, am a sound tech graduate x
Seriously Steve, you remain one of the few channels on UA-cam I consistently watch every video of. All I can say is just keep doing your thing. Cheers from the Netherlands! :^)
Nou ik ook hoor!!! Geweldig
100 percent agreement!
Same here EVERYvideo

Lovely, healthy kitty, living the good life.
Love the way Steve brings us to places you wouldn't normally see, another wonderful video. Thanks Steve.
"I don't know where I am but it's very pretty" and "sometimes it's nice being lost" describe the best experiences! Loved the tour.

Amen!
Your content always feels authentic. Honest. Which is nice. Like the golden age of UA-cam.
One of my favourite places to visit, I do have an Icelandic sweater, I purchased the wool there and knitted it myself.
Now, that's a great way to get a souvenir. Good work.
@@lynnedayer8474 Was it as complex as Aran knitting?
@ Icelandic lettlopi wool is easy to knit with, sweaters are normally plain stocking stitch in the body with a colourwork yoke, the wool is Aran weight and not expensive.

SO pleased this came out now
I never know when you will have the chance to upload
So thank you

Walking through the back streets is fascinating - you get a sense of the 'normal' Rekyavik - love it , thanks Steve !
I love wandering with you on Saturday morning while drinking my first cup of coffee ❤
Always love the respect you show going into church buildings taking your hat off
Another brilliant video. I'm so happy you tried the traditional meat soup!
Your pronunciations were spot on btw 👏

Thanks Steve. I enjoyed the wee wander and a lighthouse too. Be well.
YES made my day...always wondered about iceland,,studied its history......but you tour was amazing...many THANKS
Glad you stayed an extra day Steve. Look forward to seeing your new videos each week

Yes, I watched the complete trip from begining to end! Thanks Steve....👍
me too. excellent
Me as well! Hoping to recreate something similar in 2026
I love your videos! Great filming and comments. You make us want to visit every place you visit. Keep on the good work and a big THANK YOU ! 👍

That motor was brilliant
Built for all conditions!

Steve. We haven't visited Iceland for many years. A beautiful place. We stayed in a hotel opposite the Hallgrimskirkja. That was a wonderful sight to wake up to each morning. Thank you for the day tour of Reykjavik.
A very pleasant ‘wandering around’ video.
YEY, another Steve video...Wonderful ! dark outside, sit back and relax..............
Another great video. Such a beautiful place . Thanks for another one Steve!!!
Wow wow 👌 what a smashing place . Thanks for taking us there . I may put it on my list ❤
Agreed with Steve and all the positive comments - my favourite place in the world to visit. This is tempting me to spend money on another visit 👍😇
Your usual great city tour. I have only seen Reykjavik in winter but it is lovely at any time. The soup is fantastic and they often do it inside a cut out loaf. That concert hall is worth going into too. When I went it was that windy I couldn't go the right way trying to cross the street, but it was covered in ice. It was lovely you showing me round again. Your video's are superb and better than any documentary on the TV. Thanks and all the best
thanks so much , my son went there last January , he loved it xxx
Loved this epic journey Steve, the way you film makes us feel right there beside you. Superb👏🏻😀
What a brilliant way to spend a day. You deserve every bit of luck you had with the weather on this one!
Wow, that was a good one ! Reykjavik was not like we imagined, thank you for taking us there, fabulous.👍
Your Icelandic Odyssey is one of the best Travel Vlogs I've seen. What a beautiful Country it is. The way you wander, budget and work your way around shows us a route off the usual Tourist Trail's. Cracking ad always Big Yin. Big respect 😊
I'm so with you on being lost . I have found some crazy things whilst lost ❤
Thanks so much Steve for staying in Reykjavik and giving us a terrific tour of this interesting city! 👍
Visting all my bucket list destinations (and now adding ferry rides to it!) vicariously through your videos. Incredible journeys and incredible scenery! Enjoy all your videos. :)
Your vlogs are very good! Entertaining, informative and to the point. Love them. Cheers from Denmark.
My husband and I look forward to your uploads. You're so personable, sometimes we find ourselves answering when you ask a question 😄I've seen so many places I'd never have ventured to, thanks to your channel. From an ex pat Scot in Queensland, your authentic, entertaining presentations are always appreciated, please keep up the good work :)
Thanks for another wonderful adventure! I now realize how awfully tired you must’ve been, after your intense transit return to Montrose. 😟 That was a lot of walking, and you brought us so much! ❤ Loved the traditional meat soup (though the Cullen skink soup you shared on another vlog is still at the top of my list). 😉
Lovely church, and I would love a cinnamon bun, please. ❤❤
Recently found these videos but very glad I did. Steve makes them very interesting. One tiny thing I would like, if he would linger on some shots just slightly longer,but hey I can just go back again eh. Steve I think puts in just the right amount of humour too,so doesn't get annoying . great work .
Stunning video Steve. Always wanted to go to Iceland, even more so now. Thank you ❤❤
Well that was one amazing video of your visit the city looks so clean n colourful
And the church tour fantastic thanks for sharing top marks 👌
I've only recently discovered your videos/travel vlogs, but I'm already a fan. Subscribed. Thank you.
Welcome aboard!
What a lovely day walking around the city and very pretty. The beautiful cat was really enjoying the day 😊. As always thank you ❤️🤗
Thank you for these Iceland vids. My son went there for a week, but took no pictures, so it is nice to have a taste of what he saw. Really enjoyed these!!
I love that we get the good the bad and the ugly so to speak and that you leave in things such as your first attempt to visit the lighthouse. After seeing your midweek video of your journey home it's no wonder you were exhausted as you never stopped! Although one thing I noticed was I never saw you buy or have a drink, so hope in between filming you were getting some hydration. Cheers
Thanks Susan!
I just found your channel 👍 I love the comment,”sometimes it’s just fun getting lost.” 👋Missoula, Montana, USA
Thanks Steve. A beautiful place. Imagine living there.
Excellent video again, in a beautiful capital city and country, the best. Brought back memories. You were right, that dark building is thr parliament called Aþling (Athling)
Stunning. First enjoyable moment I have had in days. Thank you Steve.
This series is one of your best (and they’re all amazing!). Thank you for sharing the journey
Hi, love your videos, I moved to Iceland in 2019 and love it. I stay in the westfjords in a town called Ísafjörður.
The answer to your question about 1-day stopover, no, we went to Iceland on a cruise and stopped in a three ports, I reckon you need a week to experience Iceland properly, we are going back! another great video Steve, Saturday mornings just aren't the same without it!
Yeah, one day is never enough in a place like this, only my wallet was happy to leave!
Really enjoyed this (mind you, I always do enjoy your vlogs). We were in Iceland about this time last year and had a great time, including 24 hours in Reykjavik which was really enjoyable. It's nice to be reminded of the place - though we didn't go out to the lighthouse :)
Thanks Steve. Iceland has been on my bucket list for a while, but I left it there too long and now I'm too old to travel. It was a pleasure to see this video.
Really enjoyed this good video, cakes looked nice in the window,thank you for sharing ,its a lovely place 😊
Thanks Steve….appreciate all you do 🥳
