  • The first of hopefully several videos about Iceland. I visited for 4 days, and saw Rekjyavik, did the Golden Circle and a 2 day tour along the South coast, past the black sand beaches, and to a glacier and ice cave.

    The dynamic lighting in Iceland is really impressive, it looks like they've taken a lot of inspiration from Skyrim in their level design. They could perhaps do with a bit more foliage and to clear up the in-game currency though.

      The game only runs in 1080p and it's extremely laggy running at only 20-25 fps. It also has no story which is bad in my opinion

    I'm from Iceland. When I went to Germany to meet my girlfriends family I spent hours just staring at the sheer amount of forests along the autobahn. And I may have seemed crazy but the first thing I wanted to do was to go into the forest behind their house. Once they visited Iceland I'm sure they understood.

      The corrugated metal is used to protect the buildings for water leakage and is probably the best protection for the heavy rainy storms every winter, it can sometimes rain non-stop for 12 months. Snow is rare in the south part of Iceland.

    Actually, Iceland used to be covered with trees. 25% to 40% covered in trees. Then humans happened. They didn't use it to build houses because they used it all for building boats and turning into charcoal. And sometimes just removed it to make room for more livestock. Unfortunately the whole deforestation thing has by now caused huge amounts of topsoil to erode away.
