Missing your calm and steady voice in all the excitement! Even droneage zoomed into new craters around vents, or egde of flows, extent of east flow with zoom. Everyone just does grand overviews. Nice but more going on. Tks for your beautiful work!
We are very grateful to you for the time you devoted to filming, editing and broadcasting this magnificent video which brings back such beautiful memories.
Thank you for this video. Nice to see it from above. I was there on June 26 ‘22 with my photography trip. It was very nice to see. Greetings from the Netherlands.
This was one of our first sites we visited after disembarking the Norröna ferry from Denmark in 2017, our first trip to Iceland. It blew our minds but the strong rotten egg smell put us back on earth ;-)
Beautiful volcanic fumeral mountaun, such contrasts and colors, a valuable place to explore amd see the raw gealogy of the area tank you for sharing Gilfi!
Agree - not weird, but interesting and a strong contrast with the surrounding countryside. Agree - smelliest. Also the place where the midges try to eat you alive 😁
Such beauty caused by immeasurable power! A lot of the shapes remind me of my Scottish Highlands which were also formed by volcanoes millenia ago. My thanks and good wishes as always 🦄
Also known as 'Hells Gate', just a little to east from the 'Baby Blue Lagoon' (good to be seen in the middle at 2:36) where the street is always hot. I loved it up there, even with lots of snow in April5 years ago. Thanks again Gylfi! I'm long time gone, but you keep me there... ;-)
My hiking boots were a complete mess after walking trough this beautiful geothermal area. But it was totally worth the quick stop, I've never seen before boiling mud ponds and sulfur emitting chimneys. I also took a small pebble covered in sulfur as souvenir, I really hope that elves forgive me
Btw the gods in Hawaii not forgiving either, many tourists send us the lava rocks they took home after experiencing 'bad luck'. And they send those rocks to anybody with a note telling whoever opens their suspicious package to return it/them and a description of where they got it😳. Post office gets some, the university, Hawaiian agencies/organizations, institute for astronomy. Js
I can handle the small since I grew up neat traditional Icelandic food but its the flies there, ufff. shot this sitting in my car with the windows closed
Beautiful drone video. I have climbed Namafjall many times. The whole area is great. A short distance is Dettifoss, selfoss, Krafla, Godafoss, Aldeyjrfoss. Lake Myvatn and more. I will spend days in this area and not get enough. I will be in this area next week. I hope the weather is good enough for some drone footage of the volcano. Today we went to the Hafrahvammar canyon park and did a hike along the canyon. Great day in Iceland. Hope all is well with you. Take care and enjoy. Linda and Ben
You know what‘s a real problem…. When you are there, at the tourist spot at 2:09 and need a toilet. Nothing near and zero hides… no vegetation no nothing.
Very interesting. We have similar active fumerole features and structures around our central Volcanic Plateau in Numerous supervolcano Caldera zones from White Island through Rotorua, Taupo, through the Ngarahoe/Ruapehu/Tongariro complex and Mt Taranaki. At the western Cape. A Question. Did this one form largely subglacially? Or is it more the result of deglaciation triggered deep geofluid decompression?
Iceland has been on my bucket list to visit for the Auroras...but, thanks to your wonderful videos, I will have to be sure to see the volcanic vistas. (When am I going to sleep? 🙂) Looking forward to tomorrow's updates...thank you.
That is such beautiful imagery! I never got over to Myvatn or Husavik during my visit; Akureyri was as far as we got in May 2017, owing to the blizzards on the passes. Question for you: is it permitted to collect mineral specimens around the fumaroles? I wanted to collect specimens for my collection when I visited, but nobody knew if it was permitted, or if a permit was required. Love those minerals, and the basalts I saw were sometimes coated with bright blue, yellow, or red alteration minerals.
Greetings to Iceland, we just arrived from our Work from the little Farm in the Vulcanic South Carpathian Mountains and Plains between Ploiesti and Buzau.... .... thinking on the 1977 Earthquake in Romania I know what means... I have been in March 1980 first time in RO and was absolute astonished... ... hope nothing to happen more.... Greets from Bucharest... ...
The chalky light pinks, yellows and white colors on top of this formation remind me so much of the bauxite minerals they mine near where I hunt deer here. I'd be interested in knowing the makeup of that ground. But bauxite would be rather out of the ordinary for your latitude. Of course, in a volcanic system, anything can be spit up from deep below.
If this includes Namaskard, I visited the place with my family back in 1964 and again in 1973. Very impressive, and as you say like an alien landscape. Another such for me was Kawah Ijen back in 2003.
As a coach driver, driving day trips from cruise ships to this location. I wish they'd build some sort of path there, so tourists don't have to walk in the mud, and then bring that muddy clay back into the bus. Edit: Also, if this was recorded today, which i suspect it was considering the good weather, then i just might be in one of those buses seen in the end shot ;)
@@JustIcelandic I put my baseball cap over my face, next time I'll remember a net. We're going to drive Route One again in the next year of two. One of my favorite road trips!!
Good afternoon everyone from a sweltering Edinburgh Scotland 😎 !! Could anyone inform me of the music used in this clip please ??? Many thanks. Brian Dawson Edinburgh 😎🤠💦 on
Ah, but what did it look like before the Sulphur was mined out / carted off / sold for cash / swapped for goods etc ? I'm betting it was even weirder back then.
Mm, at 1:41 that outcrop certainly appears basaltic. My thought is that the entire area has had so much hydrothermal alteration that it looks rhyolitic (think Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone). That would also explain why the mountain has a lot of erosion gullies carved into it, and the small size - altered rock is a lot softer. Be interesting to see what the local geologists say about it.
The Namafjall area is composed of basalt products, which have been chemically altered by the liquids and gasses bubbling up around and through them. Geology/ mineralogy is fascinating stuff!
Geothermally altered basaltic tuff but what you see here is basically an industrial landscape resulting from 600 years of mining and half the original mountain is gone. The colours are oxides of iron and sulphites. The name translates as "Mine Mountain".
Missing your calm and steady voice in all the excitement! Even droneage zoomed into new craters around vents, or egde of flows, extent of east flow with zoom. Everyone just does grand overviews. Nice but more going on. Tks for your beautiful work!
Thanks so much, Gylfi. Strange, yet beautiful landscape, well worth a visit, while in amazing Iceland. 💖
You’re welcome 😊

Just wow definitely on my bucket list your country just keeps on surprising me the colors and landscape’s 🥰
Just starting :)
Don't know about weird, smelliest more like. The Myvatn area is outstanding .
Yes it's my favourite part of the plate boundaries 😃
Agree - not weird, but interesting and a strong contrast with the surrounding countryside. Agree - smelliest. Also the place where the midges try to eat you alive 😁
The my (little fly’s) on the lake are the worst 👎

I was completely blown away, when I visited this geothermal area, having never seen anything like this before. What a place!

The gods are less forgiving though. You will be cursed for three generations until the stolen stone is returned to where it belongs.
@@Tugela60 Well, at least I'm not planning on having child any time soon

It looks like a monstrous sea creature that's been zapped and then beautifully photographed. Thank you for showing it to us.

Beautiful and wonderful work, Thank you Sir
Many thanks!
Thank you Gylfi...That mountain is beautiful...weird if it is the only one...and the music fits it well...
greetings from Scotland😁
Appreciated and thanks 😊
I’ll never forget the smell of that place. Like a porta-potty on a hot summer day…
I can handle the small since I grew up neat traditional Icelandic food but its the flies there, ufff. shot this sitting in my car with the windows closed
Well, they need to build some proper toilets for the tourists then, instead of just going where they stand.
A crazy visual mix of the Algerian desert and Jellystone (sorry Yellowstone) Park. Only in Iceland could such a mix exist
Welcome :)
I spent 3 hours in this place, on the top hill! Wonderful view and peaceful!
👍
I recognise it. love the myvatn area. beautiful to see from above. thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it👍
Fantastical views!!!💚🤎 I find myself mesmerized by these shots. Thanks!❤

Great to hear you are having a good time 😀 with the weather like it is but I'm still in Reykjavik. The wind is my compass now
That’s a really lovely video, dreamy even. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Wow! Absolutely stunning video! Somebody pay this man.
Appreciated and thanks 😊
Stunning! Absolutely stunning!
Thank you! Cheers!
One of my favorite places!

But seriously, this one is weird and stinky, I love it. I didn't know about the trails on top of it, many thanks for the drone view!
My pleasure!

If they built paths there, the area would lose much of its natural beauty.

Nice drop in viewers over a few days why are you not streaming from a lava island right not?
Wouldn't be out of place in a Prehistoric documentary.

That's a really stinky place actually. I like the other side of that mountain way more.. with a flynet around my head..
Yes wow the flies...ufff
Looks like a big pile of ash stained with sulfur! 😃 but beautiful
It is 😃
I thought you were going to talk in the clip 🙁
@Starfire Horizon you think in life too.
Not this time but I will use this in other projects later on :)
I don't want to be rude but it looks like a huge pile of mining waste.
Why does nothing grow on it ?
I was there and asked about the lack of vegetation. Was told it’s due to high levels of H2S from the vents in the air and in precipitation.
They mined sulphur here a long long time ago
Looks like the guy who built Iceland had a load of cement over, and just dumped it in a pile (for later ....)
Makes Uluru look like a green paradise by comparison
