Where The Mid Atlantic Ridge Becomes Iceland - The Reykjanes Peninsula

  • This weird landscape is one of my favourites due to the visual geological history and tectonic features that pop out around here since Iceland is just the part of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge (Reykjaneshryggur) that happens to be above sea level. The tour ends by "The younger Stampar crater series" formed in the Reykjanes Fires in 1210-1240, the last major volcanic/tectonic series of events on the peninsula before the ongoing unrest started in 2020. The first town we see in the video is Grindavik, the Vogar and Reykjanesbær, the home of Keflavik. Int. Airport.
    I shot this in 2023.

      TRUE! Gylfi is the best ambassador for his country one could imagine. However, I hope he won't go into politics but continue with what he's doing. It's the best possible message he can get out to the world....

    Amazing scenery, Gylfi. It was strange, but about the 3rd scene change where you show a stretch of beach with a long part that comes out into the sea and as soon as I saw it, it looked like a sawtooth shark, also known as a carpenter shark even down to the eye!🌟
    You do an outstanding job showing the remarkable scenery in Iceland!

    The geology and beauty of Iceland is breathtaking, a land where history is made. It would be fascinating to learn how those eruptions connect to the Sagas. Also, that time period seems like it coincides with the troubles of the Greenland settlement. Now, I'll have to do some digging.
    This is a beautiful piece.

    It's so fascinating to see the bright green strip of land stretching from the Reykjanes Light to the coast, surrounded by grey, ancient lava fields.
    Iceland is such a paradox at times. I guess that's not surprising, being the land of ice and fire!
    Beautiful footage, Gylfi - as always.

      Some of those lava fields are pretty young, yes, but the very youngest part of Iceland is Surtsey which was formed in the 1960s.

    just in time while preparing for my next vacation. 🙂Your video is great! Because last year I made a short de-tour to the light house on my last afternoon. The angle of your drone video shows the green canyon in that vulcanic area, which becomes not visible like that on satelite pictures or from the ground.

    Always nice to hear from you. Although personally I remain perplexed as to how what looks to me like a wasteland following a nuclear disaster can appear to others as "fabulous scenery". Still, takes all sorts to make a world. Or perhaps they live in a town. Who knows? Very best wishes to you and yours. ❤
