Thanks a lot for watching and safe journeys!
All of Iceland is really beautiful, but these parts remind me of the time I served in the danish army and we had to spend nearly a month in Greenland, so I prefer watching it on screen! :))
@@bikebasket9594 Like most NATO countries they help train insurgents and guard poppy fields.
The snow sceneries are beautiful.
That woman tour guide is so cool on the bus as well as when she was trying to dig out the snow out of the toilets !! Love her smile and enthusiasm !!
Women are extraordinary beings! Don't you think?
I like that you don't always follow the warmth and sunshine. Iceland looks starkly beautiful.
Yeah, I really liked when he randomly went to Finland and then took a train across Norway. Even in the winter.
Iceland is famous for being called the Land of Fire and Ice because of its volcanoes and glaciers. It is dotted with natural wonders such as The Blue Lagoon and Dettifoss Waterfall. Iceland is also known for its rich cultural history, Norse mythology, folklore, and having no official family names!
Norse mythology, folklore and you are forgetting metal music..☻
I absolutely love your videos! Such a treat to see another one. Found you near the beginning of the pandemic and to be able to 'go' places I will probably never go is wonderful. Thank you.
Glad to see you wearing safe shoe wear on icy roads. I can tell you a broken wrist injury is a very painful. ( I suffered one 2019 after falling on ice 2019 and it took 4 months until my hand was fit for use again. ) Not to mention of many other injuries you may get if not wearing safe foot wear either spiked boots or rubber strings for your shoes with iron spikes. Spiked rubber strings for shoes can be bought fairly cheap in Nordic countries.
This is one of your most unique and amazing videos, very informative and I couldn't take my eyes off the entire time..... so glad your still having best times ever, watched you for years now, kinda grew watchin you! I wonder how they stayed warm for the 7 days they was lost in that cave!
Be honest Gabriel: YOU LIKE THE ICE AND THE SNOW MORE THAN ANY WARM SCENERY? I watch your Journey to Alaska / JUNE and so on. You love it....and I like it more too!!!!
Those shots of the snow covered mountains and the sunrise, you just can beat that.. feels like a dream
Always lovely your channel, 🦋🦋🦋Always bring new experiences 🦋🦋🦋
Even have no green trees and any flower around, it looks beautiful combination with sunshine and its green river moreover if we look from top with drone 😍. Any polar bear there 🤔. Thank you for hardworking made this live vlog since cold weather 🥶 and far distance, I feel like watching National Geographic TV show. Very incredible.
No polar bears in Iceland 🇮🇸
@@dee74raz ok brother. Thanks.
@@mutiasariperboelana8059. We don't have polar bears in Iceland but they have sometimes come here to Iceland thou on some broken ice from Greenland. And if they do they usually get shot right away.
@@ingibjornbjornsson4958 how Iam sad they get shot 😢. they just found something to eat for life as greenland wasn't possible enough to get some food due to melting ice there. Hopefully some policy from government to save them in save and captivity place. Thanks for that sharing info brother 😊. See ya at next vlog.
@@mutiasariperboelana8059. Yeah it is sad that they get shot but they also attack people if they see people. In Svalbard wich is a big Island of north Norway and belongs some part of it to Norwegians they have problems with them there. There are more polar bear there then people so all the people who live in that small town there in Svalbard need to carry a gun when they go out for a walk because they come often to town to look for food.
Love the deep sound of the ice trucks
Fantastic landscapes ! And a great tour ! Always enjoy seeing your meals too !
Awesome sights Gabriel! 😎🙌❤🙏thank you 😊 stay safe 🙏
Beautiful! I walked on the Athabaska glacier in Canada . It was summer and there were small streams from the melting ice. The crevasses were downright scary.
Yah some of drops were huge. Walked on it from the parking lot till where those big truck goes. It was soils other than some spots that were melting.
One of your best videos! Excellent editing.
Man your video craftsmanship just gets better and better. We are so very lucky to view thru your lenses. The haunting music is the 🍒cherry on top. Mahalos
Loved this video. Thanks for the trip. Iceland is great! Have a Happy Holidays.
That was awesome. My heart was racing when you were in the ice-caves like they might collapse any minute 😉
What an amazing experience Gabriel!! 🤗
Amazing!
When it drips its like teardrops of global warming so so scary. Very expensive to eat there wowzer but that nacho makes me want one now!!!
Thanks for charing
Hi Gabriel, fun fact: I had a similar experience about not being able to see everything while traveling in Iceland !
But I'm planning to comeback and that's what makes life purposeful
what a stunning pristine place!
15:04 Gabe, you should have taken that girl back to your igloo.
Naw Sterling won't like that :)
Gabe Got excited to see another video Yeh
Loving Iceland Gabe!
The color contrast at the river, grays, whites, black and that blue! Just wow..
Hallo mr. Gabriel traveler, I have watch your video about your visit to the capital of Iceland. Might say very interested city and country, so far in the north atlantic ocean with such a cold weather. Nice to watch your visit to the glacier and snow tunnels in the interior part of the island. The interior was nice to watch, with lots of snow to see. The capital Reykjavik is a clean and nice city with not so busy streets as in Paris France or Amsterdam, The Netherlands. That they use the Schengen visum zone was good to hear. That Ice land is so expensive after Zwitserland was a surprise to hear for me. My compliments for making such a nice video about Iceland. I was watching this video from Paramaribo in Suriname, where we speak the Dutch language...... Marty
Love that you post the food prices , that lamb dish, not a generous portion and glass of wine €50 almost 😲
Thank you, once again.
Truly a paradise of surrealness and really seems you went to a different planet, but couldn't got the point in here 8:08 how it can be chilly to swim because the waterfall emerges from the lava field and flow into the river, so it can be hot.
Great video...love Iceland..returned October
Epic experience!
THANKS GAB. THIS WAS REALLY GOOD
Amazing....
Brilliant. 👍😊
I am sending my CV in these days over there in Iceland for work. Thanks for sharing with us this lovely place. Cheers from the top of the mountain.
What a nice upload my dear. It’s just superb.
Powerful and amazing video!!!!
When you said Another World Another Planet, I kept singing the song, Another Girl, Another Planet by The Only Ones, a 1978 new wave classic !!
🍀Hi.. Gabriel.. Amazing.. Thanks for this bellissimo video.. Take care of yourself 💚
OH HELL YEAH BABY, ICELAND
ruclips.net/video/rog8ou-ZepE/видео.html
My coffee, this morning, kept me warm, while watching your nose freeze, in this video😂
Gabriel…tysm ! What another great trip you deliver to us!
Since I can't afford to go to Iceland I'll stick my head in the freezer instead.🤣
Gabriel visits these places so you don't have, So stick your head in the freezer or oven or shower whilst watching his videos
Too spooky for me, going into that glacier. Was in Iceland Oct 1985, it was cold enough then for me. Very low key then. Very safe. Sure has grown since. Stay safe.
I thought people go there in the winter to see the Northern Lights! Did you see it?
Nice video, hi from Egil Olav. Norway.
The prices for that tour and their food are quite high for 1 person but it is always great seeing you enjoying yourself! And you deserve this Gabriel! Right now in Saskatchewan it is -23 so - 3 is mild! We have tons of snow and open skies so we watch the beautiful sunrises and sunsets and Northern Lights from our windows. Ice and snow we get enough of 6-4 months so I would not plan a trip there but I am sure folks can appreciate it if they come from warm climates.
The original travel vlogger. Still keeping it real and raw w/o any fake stories or planted thumbnails. You are genius.
Thanks Gabe enjoying the results of your advice to harld regarding his current tea trek happy new year
Hi, Gabriel, That was amazing that glacier was incredibly massive I could see how you could lost in there. From what see in Iceland you could snorkel between between two tectonic plates In a location called Iceland’s Silfra Fissure is located within the heart of Thingvellir National Park. Iceland has some incredible natural wonders.
Wow, food is so expensive. Amazing views of Iceland.
Your first tour guide seemed fun. It's kind of incredible how the ceiling just sort of slowly sinks from the weight. I always imagine ice as being brittle. Also, I would think it'd be easier to use heat to carve the ice but of course, what do I really know?
Icelandic: Þú ert hér. It's very similar to Archaic English, ‘Thou art here,’ meaning ‘You are here.’
There was a time where you could go between Scandinavia, including Iceland, and to the British Isles, and you'd need to spend a day at most to get used to the language. It was _that_ similar.
🙏🙏🙏 This is not an easy Trip ! I was there during Summer is raining 🌧 every day n winter snow ❄️ everyday 😄😄😄
WOW!!!!! WAAAY better for your soul...than all that hassling in poor Morroco 🥺...... Iceland......... breathtakingly beautiful......above n below ground!!! That Laundromat Café............how unique!!!!! Thank you Gab....for all the AMAZING senses......textures.........emotions you share n evoke in us!!!! Hambagashle......go well🥳🥰
Two of your best videos are from Iceland !
Beautiful country.
excellent intro music at the start of the video , which makes the presentation more interesting .
Amazing video! Thank you 🙏🏻 I used to think that Barnafossar (childrens waterfall) had its name due to the many small waterfalls, them being like baby waterfalls. I guess my mom spared me the sad story when I was a kid. But I’ve always been fond of those beautiful waterfalls. Glaciers are so magnificent, I was almost starting to worry if you had your sunglasses with you but then you went into the tunnels so no worries. I’ve had many beautiful experiences here but one of the most amazing one was sailing on the glacier lagoon of Vatnajökull. I guess exploring nature and the experiences always depend on the weather. You got so lucky this time! Thank you again for showing me the magic of my own country, I just love it!
very nice gabriel looks like something like churchhill manitoba canada
Bought 'Following My Thumb', reading it right now. My instincts (and a couple of very similar experiences of my own) tell me that Sandra was already previously 'with' Tom, they separated for whatever reason, but then got back together. I could be wrong though. Whatever the truth of it was, I am sure you did the best thing by choosing to ramble on anyway.
So expensive! Omg
Magnificent!
Man you should definitely visit Namibia. It´s like a hot version of Iceland
Gabe, you should get yourself a job in Iceland for a few weeks to offset expenses. Just the work experience could generate some interesting vlog posts. Plus, you'd make more connections.
This is what ive been waiting for.. Iceland vlog, thanks and Goodluck. Even though im home. It field like in there. Keep it up.
Wow 😍❤🙏
Also great presentation music at the end too , which makes this video ending perfectly .
The sound of crunchy snow under foot just gets me every time! I love it so much! Iceland is just another level of beauty- I hope I get to go back one day, just need to save up some gold bars!! 😂😂😂 awesome work - loving this series
Merry Christmas from Charlie xx
Nice video, looks little cold
Wow, G, that was super 👌 cool. I've been to Iceland in summer, but winter it must be like a different planet. Thanks for sharing, I dislike the cold so would probably never visit in winter, so happy you shared.
These tunnels are like the ice caves in Juneau. You were looking around them, but didn’t quite find a way to get in. This trip looks much safer!
Exactly. I actually talked about that at the end of this video.
wow the real Oceland experience nice vid Gabe keep on doing the good work.
Beautiful man.
In general what's your personal opinion about the quality of life, welfare in Icenland? I'm thinking of asking to my company to send me to our base in Icenland. Meanwhile you are welcome to Malta mate. Cheers
I firmly believe that Gabriel has a plan for his odyssey and it will all be revealed before the total eclipse. HIS LIFE IS NOT RANDOM PEOPLE!
I miss Iceland! Good video :)
Aren't they filming Trapped 3 now? If you haven't seen the series Trapped (Ófærð) it's a brilliant production from such a small country.
They are done filming season 3 few of the episodes have come out already ☺️
@@ingibjornbjornsson4958 I believe they aren't releasing the new episodes here in North America until after the New Year sometimes but if you could send me a link from where you are (Iceland I presume) perhaps I can get to see them earlier. Thanks!
@@rocco.... I think they will go straight to Netflix after they bin all showed in Iceland first i think. I am from Iceland but i live in Norway so i haven't seein it yet myself. They just show one episode once a week on Icelandic tv. So yeah just need to be patient man 🙏😊😁
@@ingibjornbjornsson4958 Sounds good! Thanks for your reply. -28 C here right now. Brrrr!
@@rocco.... - 28° where do you live? 😳. It is 8° here where i live in Norway almost like Icelandic summer 😁😂
I ❤️🔥 Iceland 🇮🇸
I have just discovered your channel. Love adventure travel.
Harald Baldr sent me over to check you out.
I can’t wait to dig into the video’s
Cheers
Cool, enjoy the adventures.
Wow is amazing place really
Very interesting vlog .
Fabulous video! Could never go into that tunnel -too claustrophobic.
Back to Juneau......there have been ice caves at the Mendenhall Glacier for a while. They will probably be there next year...or this year. As the ice recedes new caves are formed. The old caves collapse and new ones form. But you have no protection in the Juneau caves😲
What about ventilation in the Ice Cave, I didn't see any means of introducing fresh air into the space.
I'm quite sure there was some METHANE gas being let loose in the cave, so it has to escape somewhere, or else you will have a buildup of flammable gas.
Nice glacier and some things here are very informative (like "age lines", similar to that of trees). For the glacier vehicle, it looks like its snow tires have metal studs in them to improve grip on packed snow and ice - because they can do damage to asphalt roads, they are prohibited in some countries, but they are very useful on glaciers and snowy Nordic countries where snow is for very great part of the year (just like snowmobiles are very useful there).
I believe that this glacier was Langjökull? When you come back in some hotter parts of the year, maybe you can go to the Iceland's largest glacier Vatnajökull (on the eastern part of the island) which is the second largest glacier in Europe after Severny Island ice cap of Novaya Zemlya. Have a nice time in the Caribbean now!
Nice to see that former NATO trucks from Germany (MAN Trucks) are now used as snowmobiles!
It my dream to go to iceland one day
Looks like you're continuing to have an amazing time here in Iceland. (Sorry about the odd Eastern European tour "guide" here every now and then. They need the work and we need staff, so...) Hopefully though, you'll have more local guides on your future travels.) Keep up the good work!
Just Awesome !
Thanks man!
I’ve been to Iceland twice in the last year and it’s definitely a spectacular place. The only thing missing from the scenery are dinosaurs
I would love to be cold again..........hell I'm runnin the ac here
Hi Gabriel, what an awesome experience! Seems that you are getting to grips with the language … 👌❄️👍
Greetings br👍👍👍
Great video really makes Iceland look like a place that needs to be visited. Also noticed you've gone back to the DJI Osmo Action Camera, what happened to the Hero 10 ?
wonderful
I want to move to Iceland
