COVID-Cast #13: Ghost Town Reykjavík

- Опубликовано: 6 сен 2024
- On this episode, Valur Grettisson and his new co-host, Pollý, walk through downtown Reykjavík. With the gathering ban and most people in isolation, it’s safe to say that few were walking around. Currently, the gathering ban is set to continue on until the beginning of May, at least. As well, more people have entered intensive care because of the virus. That said, Icelanders are optimistic and are doing their part to fight the spread of the virus.

Wonderful reporting, thank you!
So good to see that the bookstore is still open :-)
Thanks. It brought back memories of our visit. I think we are all struggling to get our heads around the current situation. It is good to get perspectives from different countries, particular when we are isolating and not seeing anyone. Stay safe
I was visiting iceland like 20 times the last years. It was always packed and crowded. Spooky to see it like this. All the best wishes from Germany! I hope I can visit it again soon.
Last year was pretty empty around the same time. March-May were very slow. Sometimes I hardly saw anyone in donwntown in the evening. I took a walk maybe 10 days ago and I actually saw more people but just locals.
Did the camera man walk backwards during most of that journey? well done.
Walked that street a few times during my two visits to Reyjavik. LOVE that city!
though it’s the best time for photographers. Imagine all this people they had to photoshop from pictures before.
great video!
Enjoy your viedeos very much from Germany!
I love Polly. She’s a great co-host. Thank you for this series.
A very interesting walk. Might I suggest that the camera would be better placed if it viewed 180° about its present angle, i.e. looking forward instead of looking back? You would then deliver your commentary out of sight, but, although you are a most pleasant fellow, we do not need to see you all the time. Such a walk/video through Tromsø was magical.

I was in downtown yesterday. It honestly didn't look more dead than at the same time last year which was unusually a dead time.
Greetings from Michigan, USA. My name is Polly!!
Hello, can I get a flight from the USA to Iceland now in 2020 ? The Coronavirus will not stop me from going there ?
