  • This is the Hraunfossar waterfall but the water found it's way under a huge lava field where this formation came into being. It's situated in Borgarfjörður west Iceland, around 90 min. drive from Reykjavik.

    Just stumbled upon your channel and this has to be the most beautiful of the countless beautiful settings I've seen. I went to Iceland in September 2002, for a long weekend to celebrate my birthday and what a wonderful experience it was. Your country is not what I expected to be honest. First of all, I got off the plane at Reykjavik wearing a huge bubble jacket expecting it to be freezing. It was actually 3°C warmer than London! In the car from the airport to our hotel, I stared out of the window confused at the "moonscape" countryside, lava fields that looked green and and absolutely nothing else, no trees, nothing... simply barren. I was almost sure that we'd got on the wrong flight and ended up in Greenland?! Apparently, they (whoever 'they' are) got Iceland and Greenland's names mixed up because Iceland is green and Greenland is ice?! 🤔
    Anyway, back to my point. We did a few sightseeing tours and got to see some amazing places like the geysers, Kerid crater the breathtaking Gulfoss waterfall. I remember the smell of rotten eggs when travelling from one place to another, which on occasion became eyewatering! A visit to the Blue Lagoon is something that everyone should experience in their lifetime, that was absolutely wonderful. I recall us walking off 1 continental plate on to another which was cool! I sadly missed this gem that you have kindly filmed and uploaded for our viewing pleasure. I hope one day to visit your country again. I'd love to see a volcano erupting and also experience the tremors created as a result of it.
    So thank you for the footage, liked and subscribed. I look forward to seeing your uploads 😁👍

    Beautiful footage, however, I have a love/hate relationship with drones! No question one can get stunning shots! Unfortunately, some shots come at the expense of ruining a hikers day by being buzzed by a drone! In the U.S. drones are banned in all National Parks and many state parks as well. As a result, I sold my drone...damn! I simply got to the point that I didn't want ruin someone's outdoor experience.

    • @JustIcelandic
      @JustIcelandic  Рік тому

      I understand, the thing is that Icelanders buy plenty of drones, but don't use them that much for real photography, it's more like a play thing, but many tourist bring them with them and that's when we they can interrupt others, unfortunately. I might have stepped on the line a few times, but I'm good at finding time to shot without tourists as well, and that is what I prefer so it's a bit tricky to bypass potential problems, but manageable :)
