Winter in ICELAND is INTENSE

Disclaimer*** This video was filmed in February 2020 just before things started to get intense internationally. There is mention of this 'somewhat' in the video. You'll see. There is also guest appearances & intermittent comedy #pukingbuckets

Iceland in the WINTER is tough!! It is cold, snowing most of the time, ice on the roads, and lots... lots of WIND!! In this video we break down how best to prepare for your trip and show a few of the highlight experience from our Winter Adventure Photography Trip in Iceland 2020.

As an Icelander, born and raised at 66°N, I have always seen winter as something to be endured to survive. We use any slight excuse to brighten your days (Jól - spelled Yule in English, Þorri - unknown in English etc.).
During my career as a domestic airline pilot I learned that what I had always taken for granted (Icelandic nature) was something that foreign visitors found awesome. There is an Old Norse saying: "Glöggt er gests augað" - literally, word-by-word: Discerning is the guest's eye! I learned to appreciate what my country has to offer by watching how tourists experienced it. After a bumpy 90-minute flight to spend 15-20 minutes closely circling a gushing volcano (the Holuhraun eruption north of Vatnajökull), I watched green-faced tourists carrying their full barf-bags from the aircraft WITH A HAPPY GRIN ON THEIR FACE! By that time I realized they were experiencing something I was too jaded to appreciate. It really made me re-evaluate my entire existence.
For you California types: There is no bad weather, only inappropriate clothing!
Regarding driving here in winter: The only scenes shown in this video were "low-blowing-snow" which is absolutely no problem. When encountering genuine "blowing snow", where you cannot see anything at all, you have to stop and wait until you glimpse a few meters of the road's edge, only to inch forward a few feet before you have to stop again and wait for the next few-feet-more-lull. That kind of driving calls for PATIENCE - not to mention the wisdom to have plenty of fuel in the tank to stay warm in case you get stuck for hours, even days, and to have a cold-weather suit AND a winter-category sleeping bag for every person aboard in case of an emergency. We are speaking plain survival...

Haha, I loved all the comedic bits in this video! This gave me a great laugh this morning! Having a little bit of comedy in the vlogs at times definitely gives them a little spice! Iceland looks quite incredible in the winter despite how tricky it can be at times!

Every time my grandchild refuses to sleep, I open this channel's video again and it's so cute to watch him sleep 😍😍🥰

Iceland
where is can go from 12-14 down to minus in a second, Having lived in Iceland for a year and a half my go to, thermals, snowsuit and insulated boots. (hand warmer packs are nice too)
The weather can change fast, I worked at the old base at Keflavik, one time the wind was blowing so hard I saw a twin prop plane look like it was stopped in flight trying to land and his engines were at full throttle.
Ohh Mads has a video up..

This beautiful music must have helped millions of people to feel relaxed during tough times. May God bless you all with peace of mind and soul

[FrankCrispo]

I think that you've hung around Gavin Hardcastle a bit longer than you should have. His bad influence is starting to show in your videos. 🤣😅😁😄

[scotty]

New word of the day....'Fawk"...think i will be using that a lot over the coming weeks/months. Good to see you injecting a bit of comedy into the episode Greg as anything that provides some escapism even for a short time, is a good thing in my book 👍

[PaulHowcroft]

Love Iceland but boy is it cold. Again Greg another super video full of great photography and interesting facts.

[christopherflores]

My favorite youtube music! I listen to it every day and night.

[robertlaw]

Amazing music. The best I have heard till now. Relaxing and soothing sound of water and piano.

[LukeOrwin]
