I thought it might be nice to watch a winter, Christmas or Arctic-related film or TV show as part of the 12 Days of Christmas but there’s nothing particularly new at the moment. Was it two years ago now that Iceland appeared on about six TV shows in three days? Not finding that this year.… More Light Attaching to a Girl review
It seems I’ve never posted my film photos from Iceland this summer and now seems like a good time because I’ve just started with a brand new film camera – it’s an elderly SLR so it’s got settings and learning what all of them do is going to be my project for 2024. I say “brand… More Iceland on film
I’m back to Iceland this week! Two whole weeks off on the videos and I’m back! I’m back with a video an hour and a quarter long chronicling my trip to Iceland over this summer. Umm… if you’re watching my videos as and when I’m putting them out (and if you’re not, why not??), you’ll have… More New video: Iceland in summer
Good news: Iceland is having another eruption! Better news: at time of writing, it’s flowing away from major infrastructure like Grindavik, the Blue Lagoon and the Svartsengi geothermal power station! After all the rumblings and theories of the last three months or so, it seems to have popped up in the best possible place of… More Volcano special: Sundhnúkagígar
Welcome to something of a sneak peek at a new series for 2024, in which I look at everywhere I’ve been and fill in the gaps, the places and experiences I just haven’t written about for various reasons. There are at least five stories missing from Helsinki back in May so those are definitely coming… More Nauthólsvík: Iceland’s warm geothermal beach
Just like the Accidental Ring Road Summer 2023 and Quest for the New Volcano Summer 2022 vlogs, I intended for my week in Iceland in February nine months ago to be a series of daily videos but first of all, it turns out I didn’t film enough on pretty much any day. Monday Friday and… More Video: Iceland in February | Iceland winter vlog 🇮🇸
By now, my entire Iceland Summer 2023 video series is out – if you want to watch it, the playlist is here (please do go and watch it! I’m very new to this and every view counts!). While I was making it, and because I had some time-consuming stuff to do over summer and early… More An Iceland Itinerary: What to see and do in Iceland according to YouTube.
At last, it’s the last video in the series. It’s now late November and I did this trip in July/August! This was one I particularly dithered over – is it worth doing a day nine or should I skip it or should I just combine days 8 & 9? I made separate videos but the… More Video: Finding Seljavallalaug
It’s time for the seventh video in the Iceland summer 2023 series and this is the one I’ve been looking forward to seeing the most. Today is the day when I’m off kayaking Jökulsárlón! Then I drove two or three hours across the south coast to Vik – you don’t see much of that –… More Video: Kayaking Jökulsárlón | Iceland vlog 🇮🇸
Right now, the Blue Lagoon is closed because massive tectonic activity only a couple of miles away is threatening an eruption that could pour lava into its blue waters within minutes of breaking through. Initially, it was just for seven days, and due to reopen on Thursday. Bearing in mind the beyond-massive activity on Friday… More Which is the best geothermal lagoon to visit in Iceland while the Blue Lagoon is closed?
