In the third episode of Circling Iceland we are heading south to the big glaciers - starting with the Jökulsarlon Glacier Lagoon and an ice cave tour with our friends from localguide, before hiking to another waterfall: the Svartifoss.
This time we use Vik as our base to explore the Southern Region of Iceland with it’s hot springs at Seljavallalaug, the „Bieber“ canyon Fjadrargljufur and the waterfall shooting stars „Sejlalandsfoss“ and „Skogafoss“.
Even though we finished the Ring Road this won’t be the last episode - in the upcoming episode we’ll show you around in Reykjavik and take on the Golden Circle!
Traveling Icelands Ring Road is the perfect way to get to know the country on and off the tourist paths. Therefore we took about 2 weeks to get to know Iceland properly by exploring waterfalls, canyons, hot springs, glacier caves, black beaches and of course the stunning coastlines all around the island finishing off in Reykjavik with the countries biggest music festival called „Iceland Airwaves“
We’ll show you which places to visit & our favorite things to do in Iceland in the upcoming videos and how to plan & organize your very own road trip in Iceland. Make sure to subscribe & activate notification to not miss any episode!

Great video guys. Planning my visit in May so this is perfect to see what’s about. Cheers.
Never thought of Iceland this way...definitely on my bucket list
Truly amazing guys, I've just loved this series and it has so inspired me to go :) Merci

But its nothing compared to how much you travel
❤️❤️❤️
Wonderful place!
Good narrating

Really loving this series. I visited Iceland last April with friends, and we stayed in Reykjavik and did the Golden Circle tour. I thought it was beautiful then, but now I want to go back and explore even more 😊
Great to hear you like the videos. I hear you! Even after 2 weeks there I still feel like I need to go back :)
oh boy the music is so enjoyable
Great videos as always Steve!!! Keep them coming!
Thank you!
Wonderful job as usual ..Keep doing that .thanks
Hi Steve! It's really fun to watch your videos about Iceland. I would like to go back there soon ;-)
LG Jörg
Oh ja..das geht mir genauso - vor allem das Hochland würde ich gerne nochmal bewandern :)
Ich hab`s schon im Plan! Diesen Sommer werde ich noch mal aufbrechen und einiges besuchen was ich im September nicht gesehen habe. Island fasziniert und es gibt dort sehr lohnende Landschaften für Fotoprojekte oder Drohnenaufnahmen. Man muss sich eben nur die nötige Zeit dafür nehmen können.
LG Jörg
Awesome...I am from India and applying for PhD in Europe....I will definitely visit all these places...n your videos are amazing......
hi guys, great video! :-) Where did you guys sleep during the trip? thanks!

Anther cool video
Great videos! Can you please tell me which Sony camera you used to take the photos in the Ice cave? They looked amazing compared to the how it looked in the video. I'm going to Iceland in February for the second time and would like to invest in a camera. Thanks!
check my latest video where i talk about my cameras including the a7sII which I used for this shot!
Thank you.@@BackPackerSteve
Feb is better time to visit iceland?
Skaftafellsjah...whaa? It's like a cat jumped on my keyboard...
haha...it can be worse. Try to say "Eyjafjallajökull" 3 times in a row: forvo.com/word/eyjafjallaj%C3%B6kull/
Wie lang brauchst du immer um die langen Namen perfekt zu können xD
Gerade für die Islandserie braucht es oftmals mehrere Anläufe ;)
glaub ich :D hab es auch mal versucht und beim 5-9ten mal einigermaßen hinbekommen.
such beautifull shots, but ruined by corny tropical house. love the content, not the music
Did you shoot in Slog?
