    I will go to Iceland in early February next year and booked the same itinerary as yours (South Coast and Northern Lights). Your video helps me get a good picture of what it will be like. Thanks!

    I have some beautiful northern lights photos and videos 3 wks ago when I visited for 9 days and drove daily. Felt blessed and I was in a very dark town between Selfoss and the National Park. Amazing and so captivating. I’ll go back next year. Loved Aurora hunting lol.

    We’ve just watched this video in Reykjavik from our hotel room as the weather has been awful...rain and wind so most tours were cancelled. We managed the Golden Circle tour, which was awesome..besides the snow, wind and rain. We too struggled with the road crossing boxes as in your last scene...in fact you filmed that right outside our hotel..thanks for your videos, we find them really enjoyable and instructive.

      Hi Leigh, if you can get yourself out there it's definitely worth it, probably worth booking in summer months to avoid the road block 👍😊 😅 yeah we almost didn't get to see the waterfall took a bit of persuading the tour guide 😅👍

    Hi Kyle and Haley, really enjoyed your series on Iceland in December. The footage that you had of the waves crashing on the shore and the ice Sculptures that formed were stunning. Really enjoyed see the waterfall footage of the gushing water and the huge icicles that formed around the falling water. It was good to see you narrating the video in a warm room after all of the blistery cold snow in Iceland. Sorry that you weren't able to experience the Northern lights as much as you had hoped. Glad that you braved the cold and snow to bring us this series on Iceland. Best wishes to you both as you continue to explore and hopefully grow your channel.

    Sad to see the end of the Iceland series, it really has been amazing to watch and it feels like I was along on the journey with you. So glad that you were able to see the northern lights with your own eyes (even if the footage you got wasn't exactly what you were after). So so good. Look forwards to a return to Iceland video some time in the future

    I’ve been there twice now and I think you’re missing a trick. I’d have gone in the summer time when it’s warmer and you have more daylight. Yes Iceland is beautiful in the winter but it’s better when you can see the colours of the landscape and where not everything is white. Here’s a couple of videos from my last trip. ua-cam.com/video/8mVQfx1H_cQ/v-deo.html & ua-cam.com/video/9oaXPDtPamE/v-deo.html

      It's true, there's no on and off switch for them, we got really lucky with ours. If the lights aren't your thing, the country is packed with lots of sightseeing options, (even if they are all a bit pricey). Thanks for watching this one!!
