Thank you so much for this comprehensive explanation of the “hot points” of your beautiful country. I do so appreciate your calm narration and sly wit. Be well and safe travels… I’ll be ordering a mug here soon. Must have a polar swan cup for the morning tea.
For a little country, Iceland sure pack a big punch, very exciting events. I remember back when Eyjafjallajökull erupted, the sun had a halo rainbow around it here in the UK, apparently it was caused by ice crystals forming around ash particles, those same particles grounded most of Northern Europe’s flights for days.
You know, just when you think people couldn't get anymore fkn stupid...they climb the crater of the most unpredictable volcano !! Many thanks again for your fantastic coverage and researched information. I truly wish the good people of Iceland are well prepared with so much activity. Thanks from Oz
Thank you for the wide-ranging and detailed information on the behaviors of your many volcanic systems that result from Iceland sitting atop two continents. You have an excellent narrative voice and patient demeanor that I could listen to for hours, even as I'm half the world away in Thailand. We are enjoying this so far gentle awakening of a new volcano, and hope that nothing catastrophic occurs threatening the welcoming people of Iceland.
Thanks a lot, I do my best but still a beginner, but I got some very good practice fro this eruption, and something tells me that I will continue to have such oppurtunitues but we are in some very strange period, and greetings to Thailand :)
Your videos are a breath of fresh air amongst those dozens of hours of drone footage - which while very entertaining - are rarely accompanied with some actual information from volcanologists.
I'm actually having my own bummer since I can't be there all the time like the others :) having a new drone and all... but I try to make it up with my stories, but I will be by the volcano very soon :) and greetings from Iceland :)
@@JustIcelandic your stories put the volcano in a wider context and allow for a different perspective. As someone who, sadly, did not have a chance to visit Iceland yet, I feel like I got a chance to get it to know a little. Storytelling is more important than ‘perfect’ footage. Old school documentaries are a great example. Greetings from not-that-far away.
Mankind's general behaviour is a Darwin award , one might as well take whatever personnel risks you like as climate catastrophe is real and unavoidable and and vision of a future is fast disappearing .
@@MyKharli There is still hope despite the sluggish right wing politicians and the fossil fuel industries that have them captive. Many other big companies including miners are now transitioning to renewables and low-no CO 2 emission futures, so it's not the end of the world but undoubtedly things will become much more difficult and dangerous, BUT! so long as we don't reach >4* or more by 2100 then we will have done enough to turn it around I think esp. as there will definitely be new and better tech long before that. In the meant time working outdoors will gradually move to night times as will other activities, underground accommodations will be favored and air-con will be needed for many, whereas in other places high ground and 'stilted houses' lifted well above ground will become common in other parts. But we are not done yet. 🤞🏻 2020-2050 is a critical time tho'. 🙏🏻 🙏🏻
@@johnzuijdveld9585 right wing??? You have not seen who ru(i)ns the US now I guess... but hey lets stay away from politics. We can better trust volcanos. After all they got the last say about our planet. Both creators and destroyers.
So much fascinating information, my brain could not absorb it all in one viewing, so had to watch it twice. Your scientists have such a lot to contend with right now, hope they pay them well. Thank you so much, now I must catch up on your previous older videos on these volcanoes.
It's quite easy to get a bit headless chicken with all the seismic activity isn't it! Happy travelling Gylfi, looking forward to seeing your footage :)
An excellent and comprehensive overview of the volcano hot spots in Iceland. The more that I'm engrossed into Iceland as a whole, the greater builds my desire to relocate there, possibly studying for a degree in geology. All this inspired primarily by you! Thank you so much for your scientific and analytical postulations. I'm 69, so the chances maybe slim, but with God, all things are possible! May God bless you and keep you in peace and happiness. Do you have one or more recommendations for universities that have good geology degrees?
@Dave Roberts What a wonderful spirit you have. At 69, you are still a Spring Chicken. 🐥 Enjoy living in beautiful Iceland. 🇮🇸 Wishing you success in your Geology studies. With God, anything .is possible. 🙂 "Just Iceland" is a true inspiration to us all. Stay safe. 🙏🌋
You sound like a spring chicken :) and yes, we have a fine university for a geology degree, plenty of experience around here, let me tell you that :) hope you continue to chase your dreams and me and Iceland welcomes you :) english.hi.is
Most important, stay safe, and thank you again for all your wonderful photographic work and great information on your wild and beautiful country! PS. 10 cm, that is also the uplift on La Palma's volcano since 2 days...
Thank you! That’s exciting and scary at the same time. Let’s hope no ones hurt or killed and when any do go they stay away from populated areas. I know a lot to ask.
I'm still adding all kinds of gear to my toolbox for volcano visits :) it wasn't on my budget to drop almost everything else to follow up on my channel uprise with the volcano:) but it's worth it for the long run because as you said, I won't lack content ideas for sure :)
Great information, I didn’t know so many other volcanoes were close to erupting, I knew earthquakes were rising around the country, let’s just hope Iceland doesn’t blow her top! Thank you and stay safe 👍🏼
I remember it was the more than 50,000 earthquakes in less than a month back in March that freaked me out and brought me to your channel. Seven, give or take, volcanos is even more Theatre of the Absurd. Goodness! Just Icelandic, I trust you not to explore “highly Instagrammable” places. Here’s to happy travels, great video and still photography shooting… taking care, staying safe, and everything else you are looking forward to…. 👏🏻😉🎁💖
Thank you for the panoramic synopsis considering the high level of magma intrusions that are Icelandic current events. I am wondering what the North Star Polaris looks like through your lens at this time. It is a personal curiosity because of your photographic vantage point in Iceland. Best regards.
I have not been doing astro photography for a while but i've been wanting to do a Polaris time-lapse for a while, go get the circles, so I checked the location and it looks good so might give it a try soon and share on YT
I was naïve to think that no active system existed anywhere near Snæfellsnes, but I guess with Iceland being so geologically hot, anything is possible, as demonstrated with the current eruption. All of the very best for your upcoming travels, and I look forward to hearing and seeing more. I'll be back for a mug once my payday arrives. Take care and hope the nature puts on a benevolent show for you.
Thanks a lot, always good to have you around here :) But Snæfellsnes is a wonderland of it's own and I look forward to follow up on this unexpected situation now :)
Thank you so much for these informative videos and for the look at fascinating Iceland. I wish I could be one of those many tourists, but not at this time. Wishing you safe travels!
good morning.....been watching and learning so much from your channel....last night in La Palma the anticipated eruption of a volcano happened after 50 years......we're living in london but own a house on the east side of the island...so not at risk (yet) and watching all the evacuations and already house being engulfed...
Our neighbouring village is to the west of a small wooded mountain. Under certain conditions, the moon rises behind the woods and shines through the trees at the tops. And more than one there was a fire alarm because it looked like the wood is on fire and the fire department went with all their equipment to the woods in the night. A fire in the woods also triggers the alarm to all the neighbouring fire departments. The neighbouring villages gave them the mock name "moon extinguishers". Things like that, honest errors, happen. It makes you look very foolish. We are all humans.
Fascinating explanation of what's going on with your many volcanoes and your witty remarks about tourist mistakes made me laugh, though I hope that they won't put themselves in harms way.
That person on the crater rim.... There is typical stupidity due to foolishness, or not being able to assess the risk present properly (new type of danger etc.) and there is extraordinary stupidity like this where even a person completely unfamiliar with volcanoes knows not to do that type of stuff.
Hummm👍 I have actually been a bit hesitant to push myself in front of the camera because Icelandic nature is way more remarkable than me :) but I'm here at 3:00 th-cam.com/video/GvwWz59cNzI/w-d-xo.html
Best regards from Denmark☺ Once again, thank you for all your hard work with theese videos! They are one of the very first I look for, when I start TH-cam. Even if your videos is not first with the news, you explain things so very well👍 Bottom line: If I want to better understand AND enjoy Iceland, the volcano and such... I try out your channel. It's Crazy how people walk on the smoking lava.... And even the RIM!! Crazy Crazy!
Thanks you :) my idea was to cover the "bigger picture" from the beginning and try to understand my country better while at it :) and I'm glad the approach is working for you :)
Kveðjur frá San Francisco - I was thinking how interesting it would be to drill down 1 meter and take a temperature reading both infrared and standard mercury measurement of the ground. I have a feeling even if you have a rift zone you might have a pool of lava underground which would give off heat radiation. Just a thought and thank you for the update on the other possible volcano is Iceland......
Thats a bit out of my league since I'm not a geologist but I can't tell how much I want a drone with good thermo cam...that would be intersesting for sure, like hover over many of the old fissures on the peninsula...wow
It's already been a great privilege to be able to watch this current volcano, from safety, the birth of Iceland's new land! Her labour pains quaked the earth, now multitude of births, all very individual with their own personalities!
I very much enjoyed watching your video, Iceland looks a very beautiful place, I would much love to visit soon. I didn't realize how many active volcanoes there are in Iceland.. thanks again best wishes for England ❤️
Very interesting ... do you have an escape plan ? Somewhere safe to go when / if Iceland becomes an Scientific observer only zone whilst the island is being remodeled ? Or are you planning on tying the corners of a large handkerchief and wearing it for a hat whilst you watch your drone screen in awe from a folding deckchair on your porch ?
@@JustIcelandic NO no no! Iceland has 'stolen' my ability to concentrate on long term strategy games until this volcano stops it's interventions into my thought patterns! 😀
It's usually easy enough to follow what you are saying but today's video it was quite difficult to impossible at times. If tourists want to risk their lives they should be allowed to get on with it but no rescue missions should be mounted. Ravens enjoy a good roast from time to time. Just put up signs that say 'If you go beyond this point don't call for help because no one is coming'.
As for safety, I wouldn't go anywhere near that volcano without an infrared camera and a gas mask. On second thought, I probably wouldn't go anywhere near that volcano at all. No really you should get an infrared cam, the fire departments use it to spot invisible heat in the walls. It could save lives of volcano hunters.
Excellent. Some of these volcanoes are part of connected systems aren't they, so could this mean if one goes off then that reduces pressure - and hence uplift - on at least one other? Thanks.
You are actually asking the question that I'm always trying to find answers to, but still no luck :) but lets hope that we will get closer to the truth about what's really under Iceland :)
@@JustIcelandic Thanks for replying. I guess if you do enter uncharted waters with multiple but graduated activity it may be the best chance of working out an answer!
If Rekjavik was built on the newest land then it's stands to reason that in this new volcanic cycle that the land building could well occur in the same region? Just thinking aloud? Really enjoy your informative videos, God bless and have a great day!!! ;D
@@JustIcelandic Iceland is the beginning of the new Atlantis, or what Atlantis is supposed to be as there are different opinions but eh could well be, have some good days Bro ;o)
Thank You for the very interesting video, maps and commentary. Beautiful pictures, scenery and informed explanations, as always with a dash of humour. 911 must shake their heads at some of the 'emergency' calls that they receive. Erupting Moon and Polar Swan. The 2 Rescue Service Vehicles and Crew standing by while tourists walk on smoking hot lava is classic. It's as though the Crew have given up on stupid. Perhaps a tourist or two falling through the crust will serve as a warning to others, but I doubt it. I wonder if the 'geologist' who scaled the cone in Jun. '21 is the same Mr Terrific who was seen on the crater's rim this week? Both 'culprits' have no respect for the law, the volcano or their host country. Both lack intelligence, maturity and courage. Why run from an erupting volcano if you are brave enough to scale the cone? Thankfully, most people have more sense and respect for beautiful Iceland. 🇮🇸 Stay safe. 🙏🌋 (p.s. 'Mr Terrific' was a TV series about a whimp who took a pill that gave him superhuman strength, intelligence and ability e.g. flight. Unfortunately, the pill's effectiveness had a time limit which invariably expired whenever he was mid flight.)
Me; 👀💦 You; Serious bla blaaaaaaing Video; Wally of Idiots and The Polarswan… Me; That’s humor beyond volcano activity🤣… You; serious Blablaing … 🌋Hekla…🌋Katla…🌋Snifelssnyfelsfjelds🤣…🌋4…🌋5…🌋6…🌋7…🌋8… Me; nervous shakeing and still laughing … what an combi… 😱😂😱🤣😱 You were so right from your first predictions by the way👍🏻❤️ Keep safe
Thats how it is yes, Eyjafjallajökull took 15 years to prepare for an eruption, some even longer so we hope we don't get hit with too much trouble over short period, and thanks for visiting :)
Excellent question and one of the reasons for my channel, a question that I will try to answer I future for sure but there must be some kind of "pipeline" under there that we don't know so much about...Like we saw in Bárðarbunga 2014 and might be a part of the Askja situation...
Very very interesting explanations, thank you so much...."unusal things are not unusual, this is Iceland"....this gives the full measure of your country, and most certainly of the temperament of its inhabitants ....😉😉😃
Hi. Would it be classed as xenophobic to ask where these lava walking people who can't tell a polar bear from a swan nor the moon from an actual eruption are from?
@@JustIcelandic I guess you heard La Palma had an eruption started around 2pm, you know the volcano they fear could cause a tsunami to as far as west coast of US
Why would they block the tourists? Why not just warn them and if they get roasted alive it is their own fault. Stake a few warnings and maybe pictures and the problem should sort itself out ;)
@@JustIcelandic yeah I know I was just being sarcastic :D People are adults and if they want to risk frying themselves why not just let them and not ruin the fun for the rest of the tourists? And btw I just recently found your channel and I really love it. No negativity, no fearmongering, just a human sharing his passion for his epic homeland. Cheers!
Didn't massive volcanic activity in Iceland cause much colder climate starting in 1766, and the year without a summer in 1816 that wreaked havoc on human food supplies from agriculture in the northern hemisphere?
@@JustIcelandic 20%--- Wow that would be a huge number of dead today. If Yellowstone ever goes, say goodbye to the USA, and many people in the world would starve to death as a result of drastic cooling trend.
Some Swiss technicians are working on a carbon capture factory in Iceland, in Hellisheidi, 30km east of Reykjavik. They are pumping CO2 with saltwater 800m deep into the earth and plan to store it there for the next 10.000 years. They are doing this in Iceland because the land has so much free space and 'free' renewable energy. But when I hear the stories about all these volcanos preparing to go off - I am wandering about the 10.000 years span. And pumping water into an volcano area sounds kind of a stupid idea for my non-engineer brain. (I got this information from the German newspaper DieZeit, N° 37, 9th September 2021, p. 36.)
My Amma and family had to immigrate to Canada in 1875 because of Askja. The farm was ruined. They were living in Skagafjorđur at the time , so it sure spread it's damage far and wide. I guess I have to be grateful as if Askja hadn't blown , I wouldn't be here.
Yes this is what we call a strange karma :) in general I think that Icelanders are lucky to have so many relatives in Canada and USA, it has done us lots of good trough time..
In fact it would only take one system to do that job but those eruption occur every 3-400 yrs..The last one in 1783...so w have still some time to prepare :)
Thanks for the update, stay safe 😺
Thank you, I will

Thank you so much 😀 it's still on vlog level and only a practice so far :) but hopefully getting somewhere :)
@@JustIcelandic I agree - Award winning photography! (From an earlier in life "wet-belly" photographer)
For a little country, Iceland sure pack a big punch, very exciting events. I remember back when Eyjafjallajökull erupted, the sun had a halo rainbow around it here in the UK, apparently it was caused by ice crystals forming around ash particles, those same particles grounded most of Northern Europe’s flights for days.
And one hell of a winter followed, I can recall a reddish brown tinge to the atmosphere on clear days too.
And beside Eyjafjallajökull we have Katla, around 10 times bigger, telling us how lucky generation we are, so far at least
Beautiful moon! Outstanding content and visually exciting.

Her labour pains quaked the earth, now multitude of births, all very individual with their own personalities!
Yes it was strange to watch La Palma today, strong show
I very much enjoyed watching your video, Iceland looks a very beautiful place, I would much love to visit soon. I didn't realize how many active volcanoes there are in Iceland.. thanks again best wishes for England ❤️
Thank you very much and welcome to Iceland :)
Very interesting ... do you have an escape plan ? Somewhere safe to go when / if Iceland becomes an Scientific observer only zone whilst the island is being remodeled ?
Or are you planning on tying the corners of a large handkerchief and wearing it for a hat whilst you watch your drone screen in awe from a folding deckchair on your porch ?
Well, in general I'm optimistic and believe we have to wait for at least 200 years until the big ones go off, like they do every 3-400 years...
The sun is ramping up activity expect increase in
volcanic and earthquake activity.
Great videos brother.
Thanks :)
Ya goung near askya bro with a cam soon?
Soon, geldingadalir in this week and then Ask, Iðm in desperate need for new footage now :) but located in the north
Things are definitely getting very interesting in Iceland ! 😮 . . . When will I EVER get to play my comp. game now? 😭
Be hopeful :) it starts all there :)
@@JustIcelandic NO no no! Iceland has 'stolen' my ability to concentrate on long term strategy games until this volcano stops it's interventions into my thought patterns! 😀
Hello. 😎🔥🔥🔥🙏
Hello 👋
It's usually easy enough to follow what you are saying but today's video it was quite difficult to impossible at times.
If tourists want to risk their lives they should be allowed to get on with it but no rescue missions should be mounted.
Ravens enjoy a good roast from time to time.
Just put up signs that say 'If you go beyond this point don't call for help because no one is coming'.
This is about to change I think, those ponds are getting very dangerous...
@@JustIcelandic
Thank you for your reply Sir.
As for safety, I wouldn't go anywhere near that volcano without an infrared camera and a gas mask.
On second thought, I probably wouldn't go anywhere near that volcano at all.
No really you should get an infrared cam, the fire departments use it to spot invisible heat in the walls. It could save lives of volcano hunters.
It's on my list :) but good stuff costs :)
Thank you!
You're welcome!
Excellent. Some of these volcanoes are part of connected systems aren't they, so could this mean if one goes off then that reduces pressure - and hence uplift - on at least one other? Thanks.
You are actually asking the question that I'm always trying to find answers to, but still no luck :) but lets hope that we will get closer to the truth about what's really under Iceland :)
@@JustIcelandic Thanks for replying. I guess if you do enter uncharted waters with multiple but graduated activity it may be the best chance of working out an answer!
If Rekjavik was built on the newest land then it's stands to reason that in this new volcanic cycle that the land building could well occur in the same region? Just thinking aloud? Really enjoy your informative videos, God bless and have a great day!!! ;D
I will cover this subject in a video later on, this thing with the location is a big deal after all, and thanks for visiting :)
@@JustIcelandic Iceland is the beginning of the new Atlantis, or what Atlantis is supposed to be as there are different opinions but eh could well be, have some good days Bro ;o)
Thank You for the very interesting video, maps and commentary. Beautiful pictures, scenery and informed explanations, as always with a dash of humour. 911 must shake their heads at some of the 'emergency' calls that they receive. Erupting Moon and Polar Swan. The 2 Rescue Service Vehicles and Crew standing by while tourists walk on smoking hot lava is classic. It's as though the Crew have given up on stupid. Perhaps a tourist or two falling through the crust will serve as a warning to others, but I doubt it. I wonder if the 'geologist' who scaled the cone in Jun. '21 is the same Mr Terrific who was seen on the crater's rim this week? Both 'culprits' have no respect for the law, the volcano or their host country. Both lack intelligence, maturity and courage. Why run from an erupting volcano if you are brave enough to scale the cone? Thankfully, most people have more sense and respect for beautiful Iceland. 🇮🇸 Stay safe. 🙏🌋
(p.s. 'Mr Terrific' was a TV series about a whimp who took a pill that gave him superhuman strength, intelligence and ability e.g. flight. Unfortunately, the pill's effectiveness had a time limit which invariably expired whenever he was mid flight.)
Thank you, great reeding 🇮🇸 and always welcome.
Knowledge gives you a greater advantages than the folks had three hundred years ago. Still best of luck to you and yours.
Thanks a lot, you too!

You were so right from your first predictions by the way👍🏻❤️ Keep safe
Great you had a good time 👍🏻❤️ and good to see you here again :)
Good video, as always. I had to chuckle at the ‘Valley for idiots’ sign… 😆
Glad you enjoyed it 😆 and welcome
Let them take their own risks
Yeah but not in view of a live cam for the world to see, because honestly I do not want to see what happens if someone falls in the lava.
That it more and less what we have been doing :)
Lots to come in the future, some distant future, but some not so distant. Thank you
Thats how it is yes, Eyjafjallajökull took 15 years to prepare for an eruption, some even longer so we hope we don't get hit with too much trouble over short period, and thanks for visiting :)
in terms of the formation of a volcano whats the difference between a "shield" volcano and a "strato" volcano? Since its still ongoing
A shield volcano has it''s origin close to the mantle and it can go on for decades and end up like this one: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skjaldbreiður
Is any communication under ground between volcanoes? ! ? May be ! It is so much energy !🌋🌋
Excellent question and one of the reasons for my channel, a question that I will try to answer I future for sure but there must be some kind of "pipeline" under there that we don't know so much about...Like we saw in Bárðarbunga 2014 and might be a part of the Askja situation...
Very very interesting explanations, thank you so much...."unusal things are not unusual, this is Iceland"....this gives the full measure of your country, and most certainly of the temperament of its inhabitants ....😉😉😃
Thank you, nice to hear because I'm trying to do exactly that :)
Always good to see tourists running.
I live in a southern Appalachia tourist town.
We wish daily they'd go away.😉💯🌹
Prayers for you all there.
🌹 thank you
The whole island knows I am coming! 👍😂🏴
Welcome to Iceland👍
Hi. Would it be classed as xenophobic to ask where these lava walking people who can't tell a polar bear from a swan nor the moon from an actual eruption are from?
Lets just call it "Touristland" :)
I promise not to call this 'The Magnificent Seven' albeit, what an incredible situation.
Yes wow :) it's unbelievable
@@JustIcelandic I guess you heard La Palma had an eruption started around 2pm, you know the volcano they fear could cause a tsunami to as far as west coast of US
If I ever come to Iceland, I'll bring a swimsuit to take a dive in a lava lake, like a proper tourist.
Ehhhh. I would recommend this place while it's still there, illegal, warm, but a bit nice destiny :) th-cam.com/video/FeoypgNGJVI/w-d-xo.html
Why would they block the tourists? Why not just warn them and if they get roasted alive it is their own fault. Stake a few warnings and maybe pictures and the problem should sort itself out ;)
It's because there are lava ponds about to burst and we know what happens then
@@JustIcelandic yeah I know I was just being sarcastic :D People are adults and if they want to risk frying themselves why not just let them and not ruin the fun for the rest of the tourists? And btw I just recently found your channel and I really love it. No negativity, no fearmongering, just a human sharing his passion for his epic homeland. Cheers!
Didn't massive volcanic activity in Iceland cause much colder climate starting in 1766, and the year without a summer in 1816 that wreaked havoc on human food supplies from agriculture in the northern hemisphere?
Check it here, it's the Lake eruption that killed 20% of Icelanders in 1783-1784
@@JustIcelandic 20%--- Wow that would be a huge number of dead today. If Yellowstone ever goes, say goodbye to the USA, and many people in the world would starve to death as a result of drastic cooling trend.
There is a great increase in volcanic activity around the world. The question is why?
There are many theories out there and hard to say what's going on
Some Swiss technicians are working on a carbon capture factory in Iceland, in Hellisheidi, 30km east of Reykjavik. They are pumping CO2 with saltwater 800m deep into the earth and plan to store it there for the next 10.000 years. They are doing this in Iceland because the land has so much free space and 'free' renewable energy.
But when I hear the stories about all these volcanos preparing to go off - I am wandering about the 10.000 years span. And pumping water into an volcano area sounds kind of a stupid idea for my non-engineer brain.
(I got this information from the German newspaper DieZeit, N° 37, 9th September 2021, p. 36.)
As often, we are just a part of an experiment, but so far alright :)
'
yeaaa that right...
keep continue volcano lava flow flow on the ground all day - all night
😊
My Amma and family had to immigrate to Canada in 1875 because of Askja. The farm was ruined. They were living in Skagafjorđur at the time , so it sure spread it's damage far and wide. I guess I have to be grateful as if Askja hadn't blown , I wouldn't be here.
Yes this is what we call a strange karma :) in general I think that Icelanders are lucky to have so many relatives in Canada and USA, it has done us lots of good trough time..
So do these volcanos erupting all around the world prove global warming, or core warming from increased cosmic rays due to lessening magnetic field???
Yeah in my backyard, lol.
👍🏻, one of the hottest backyard in the world :)
Swans and moons can be buggers can't they? lol
Yes wow :)
Other TH-camrs had to go places for content
Icelandic TH-camrs have content come to them
Literally comes flowing toward us :)
Imagine if all 7 erupted at the same time. Iceland would be blackened.
In fact it would only take one system to do that job but those eruption occur every 3-400 yrs..The last one in 1783...so w have still some time to prepare :)
Jæja....og jæks 😮😦 en engu að síður Takk fyrir upplýsingarnar!☺
Já skrautlegt er það :)
@@JustIcelandic Heldur betur eða lítur alla vega þannig út að skrautlegt geti það orðið :)
