I`m hiking Iceland since more then 30 years. Hiked the Laugavegurin several time, even snowshoeing it solo ( took me 10 days from Skogar to Landmannalaugar ) under deep winter conditions, But I RELAY LIKE YOUR VID......original natural sounds, slight music in background....awesome done images. WELL DONE Jonathan, Well done *THUMBS UP*..... I subscribed.
No I didn't, I had the bus booked from Borsmork back to Reykjavik the day after I completed the Laugavegur trail, I wish I had continued on to Skogar though...Iceland has drawn me back twice so I reckon I will return with my boots on again.
I see! I highly recommend the Fimmvorduhals, it was basically all you want from Iceland condensed into in a single days hike. I have a video uploaded for that hike as well if you ever find the time :)
Wonderful video! Amazing and mesmerizing sceneries! Very well done! Your vision for the best locations to film is awesome! I'm arriving next week, but i will cross Hornstrandir first, then, going to Laugavegur and Fimmvörðuháls. I hope a dry weather this year than my last trip. 🙏
Thanks very much for this very fascinating hiking video. Though I’m not sure when I’d be following your footsteps, if at all, you’re certainly inspiring us at least to try. Thanks again!
What a soothing experience watching this video. One can really tell that you have an eye for atmospheric shots. Also, the music really adds to the experience. Great choice!
Great footage! I plan to go there this summer and have some questions. Did you use a microphone for the sound? How did you charge the camera during the hike?
Thank you and good choice going there yourself, it was a great hike! As for the microphone I mounted an external mic on my camera and used powerbanks to charge empty batteries (brought 6 batteries and 3 power banks for this trip). These are the ones I used for this hike (affiliate links): External Microphone: amzn.to/3VyPJ0Q Power Bank (very light weight): amzn.to/45kFH6x
Hi Jonathan, Thank you for this magnificent film. The footage is stunning to watch. I also watched your second film about the subsequent hike right away. It was nice to see Graig Adams, the inventor of the silent hiking videos genre, featured in it. During which period did you do the hikes? I'm planning my own trip and currently have late June in mind, but I'm wondering about the snow conditions. Thank you, and you've gained a new member on your channel :-)
Thank you very much for your nice feedback, glad that you liked it! And indeed it was so nice for us to meet Kraig Adams, we bumped into each other a few times and had dinner together. The hike took place during the summer, late june to july. Thanks for the sub!
Hi and thank you very much! It rained during 1 day or so I believe but only a little. Maybe something like 10 degrees celsius, but felt warmer when sunny and hiking!
Beautiful video Jonathan, I did the hike last September as my first long distance hike, so many memories! How did you include so many stunning drone shots? Did you have multiple batteries/powerbank or were able to charge in the camps?
Hi and thank you, glad you found it beautiful! I brought 3 batteries for the drone, 4 batteries for the camera, 2 lightweight 5000 mAh powerbanks for phone and batteries and 1 large 20.000 mAh powerbank. That’s the setup I have brought for all my hikes which has worked out well, always having a bit more power than needed to make sure I do not run out. When I get a chance I charge along the trail but from what I recall this was not possible during Laugavegur until reaching ”Thorsmork” where we could recharge batteries for the next hike over Fimmvorduhals.
Hey! Nice video! Did you do it at the beginning of June? I want to go with my girlfriend from May 30th to June 10th and we’re wondering if we can do it at this time of the year? Thank you very much!!
In Sweden! Ussually buy it online and exists in almost all outdoor activivity related shops where you would buy hiking gear. ”Freeze dried food” would be the keywords to search for :)
Thank you! I brought and used 2 lenses, a Panny 12-35mm for standard range / closeups and m.zuiko 7-14mm for wide angle shots. I also used a variable ND filter on the 12-35mm. Are you also using a GH5?
Hi! Unfortunately not sure about this one, but there was a place where you could go indoors and where they also had toilets - I would assume they have outlets there too!
I understand the huts you have to reserve ahead of time but you did not mention anything about camping with a tent. Do you just find a spot and camp and pay for it and no reservations needed is that correct?

Thank you very much, what a compliment! Glad you liked it :)
Great drone shots of a wonderful country
Thank you! It’s easy to capture nice shots with such wonderful environments!
Wow, this is truly spectacular adventure my friend! Shots are brilliant!
Wow yourself, thank you for those kind words! Glad you liked it.
Such a bizarre landscape in Iceland. Beautiful
It really is something else, so surreal!
Fantastic film, I have just completed the trail and to see it with drone footage like this was a pleasure....Thank you.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it even after hiking it yourself! Did you hike the Fimmvorduhals trail as well?
No I didn't, I had the bus booked from Borsmork back to Reykjavik the day after I completed the Laugavegur trail, I wish I had continued on to Skogar though...Iceland has drawn me back twice so I reckon I will return with my boots on again.

@JonathanLundmark Yes, I have subscribed to your channel so I will watch that footage, thank you👍
Thank you so much! 🙇

Thank you, what a compliment! Nice with hornstrandir, did you watch the video from Kraig Adams on that one? :) Enjoy your hikes and good luck!
@@JonathanLundmark Sure! who doesn't? lol. But pretty sure, your video from Laugavegur is much better and more detailed than Kraig's Laugavegur video!
@@DeltadronesBr Usually, Kraig is rushing his trails. This is why are not as detailed as this one though no less amazing!
@@romanomm77 Agree! I watch all of Kraig's videos. Madeira Island, the last one is wonderful!
Thanks a lot! What a compliment 🙏
very good videography ! any gpx file ? what camera did you use apart from the drone
Thank you! Panasonic GH5 + GoPro. I don’t have a GPX I’m afraid. But tons of good trail routes on Alltrails for this hike :)
Thanks very much for this very fascinating hiking video.
Though I’m not sure when I’d be following your footsteps, if at all, you’re certainly inspiring us at least to try.
Thanks again!
Thank you very much, glad to hear and yes I really hope you get to experience hiking Iceland at some point. It really was like a different planet.
Great adventure and awesome shots 👌
Thanks a lot! Glad you liked the shots :)
What a soothing experience watching this video. One can really tell that you have an eye for atmospheric shots. Also, the music really adds to the experience. Great choice!
Thanks a lot! Glad you enjoyed it!
Amazing! Makes me want to go back
Likewise amigo! 🙌
Great video! We are starting this hike next week! Looks like you had decent weather, what time did you go?
Hi and thank you! I believe we went during July it was sometime during the middle of the summer last year, best of luck on your hike!
Great video!
Thanks mate!
Great footage! I plan to go there this summer and have some questions. Did you use a microphone for the sound? How did you charge the camera during the hike?

Which month did you hike? Did it rain a lot? And whats the average temperature you found? Stunning footage btw
Hi and thank you very much! It rained during 1 day or so I believe but only a little. Maybe something like 10 degrees celsius, but felt warmer when sunny and hiking!

@@JonathanLundmark Awesome, thanks for the advice and looking forward to your next masterpiece!
@@michaloksaAnytime, just let me know if you have any more questions :)
Hey! Nice video!
Did you do it at the beginning of June? I want to go with my girlfriend from May 30th to June 10th and we’re wondering if we can do it at this time of the year?
Thank you very much!!
Early June could be difficult but varies year to year depending on how long the winter was. Mid june is a safer bet if you want to go early!
Where did you buy this pack of dry food? Looks so easy to carry and cook
In Sweden! Ussually buy it online and exists in almost all outdoor activivity related shops where you would buy hiking gear. ”Freeze dried food” would be the keywords to search for :)
@@JonathanLundmark Thank You!
Anytime!
Beautiful! What lenses are you using on the camera? I brought a camera and my photos/video are far worse!
Thank you! I brought and used 2 lenses, a Panny 12-35mm for standard range / closeups and m.zuiko 7-14mm for wide angle shots. I also used a variable ND filter on the 12-35mm. Are you also using a GH5?
Another question! Is there how to charge batteries in Landmannalaugar campsite base?
Hi! Unfortunately not sure about this one, but there was a place where you could go indoors and where they also had toilets - I would assume they have outlets there too!
What kind of hiking pants are you guys wearing?
Hi! I’m afraid I don’t recall for this hike, nothing fancy. Today I would use Haglöfs as I’ve really come to appreciate their gear.
I understand the huts you have to reserve ahead of time but you did not mention anything about camping with a tent. Do you just find a spot and camp and pay for it and no reservations needed is that correct?
There was a fee for pitching a tent in designated areas but you could pay it there and did not have to book in advance!
