  • I can't say it's much going on by the volcano in the moment so I'm also using the chance now to show you some summer shots from Iceland and explain what I'm going to do with this RUclips project of mine, in case the eruption would come to an end soon.

    I admit I started watching Iceland because of the thousands of earthquakes, then the eruption. But I then started falling in love with your beautiful country. Anything you want to share is great! Iceland is very interesting and beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing with us!

    Your channel is much more than just about geology, earthquakes and a volcano, even though that's what initially drew me here. Your educated insight and coverage has been an enjoyable and informative experience. I've grown to love seeing and hearing about all things Iceland, so I'm here for the long haul. I'll look forward to seeing my notification bell lit up and finding you there. There's so much more to see and explore and you'll be the perfect guide, my friend. Your authentic Icelandic accent is a nice addition, too. 😉 . . . Stay well.

    I came for the volcano, staying for the nature, geography and culture.
    I am a Brit living in Spain and to be honest ( as with most people probably) knew very little about Iceland but find it quite fascinating and special. The population of the London Borough where I lived in the UK is not much smaller than the entire population of Iceland but I think you have a far better culture, definitely more interesting terrain and the weather is not much worse.
    I am looking forward to whatever you produce, hopefully it will continue with the Icelandic humour too.

    What you have planned for the channel sounds excellent.. You will have to have "shorts" because most YT viewers have the attention span of gnats, but with the amazing scenery and your sense of humor, this shoudn't be a problem. The longer, more raw videos with a natural pace will keep me watching and sharing my new favorite place for majestic scenery on the planet. ( Iceland just passed New Zealand for me )😁

    I've read a few of the comments below and yes many of us came to the Icelandic channels because of the 'volcano' not only this channel, and so we learn, we become more familiar and more connected to places and ppl. on the opposite side of our world previously unknown. I feel like I could come to Iceland and feel akin to you and other presenters, I'm sure most of us are drawn to your openness and honest appraisals of your special country, and it IS special, because in the modern world we have lost some of what you still seem to have. Whether it's the ppl. , the lands or the laid back easy attitude that seems to prevail it is very charming and relaxing, so even if you don't manage a 'prize winning production' each time we will still be with you

    Thanks for the updates. You're documenting life and history there. This isn't the end. It's a blessing you all had so little damage. It could have been so very much worse. Prayers answered. Your choice of topics will be interesting. I'll be watching. God bless and be careful!

    Came for the nice and informative videos about the eruption, but I will stay and enjoy your upcoming videos. I have been to Iceland in the past, and seeing it again brings back fond memories.

    My daughter and I are enjoying your perspective on everything Icelandic. We visited Akureyri on two times, once in 2013 when we did the ring road and again in 2015 when we stayed in your delightful town for several days. The botanical gardens were lovely and we loved our time there. So, we look forward to an assortment of topics from you in the future.

    Thank you for showing more of Iceland. It is so beautiful! I thought it was mostly rocks, ice, and volcanoes. It is so much more!!
