    LOVE the Norse Sagas & legends! I'll have to look for the evil troll woman & the ax. Iceland has some of the coolest stuff to see & do. You & Nina can have adventures every day. Go catch up with her at the waterfall! God bless.

      @@IcelandExplorer Thank you for the great read! I find it interesting that where the silver ax head came to in the river is where the Icelandic parliament began. I bet you & Nina put the Christmas tree on Jora's rock, since the writer said it wasn't there in '08! Just joking! Really, thank you so much.

    Recommend doing a video of Öxarárfoss in winter. This waterfall looks spectacular in Winter when it is mostly frozen. In fact I recommend you include Summer and Winter videos of all the waterfalls you visit as ice covered falls are even more / as spectacular a normal waterfall!
    PS - Gullfoss in Winter is a crystal palace with all the frozen spray!

    Another beautiful place in Iceland that I have added to my "If I ever get to Iceland list". There seems to be so many unique and interesting places there. I'm going to have to spend an entire month just to see them all.

    I am always amazed at how young the geology is in Iceland. It has a compelling, stark beauty. That river falling over a sharp cliff is an example of how young the landscape is. It hasn't had time to erode the cliff face.
    Here in Australia, we have ancient geology. It seems to me that all our rocks are rounded and eroded with age. The volcanoes on the mainland have been extinct forever. We are in the middle of a tectonic plate so earthquakes here are extremely rare. Our mountains are basically hills, we don't have the sharp uplifted monsters like you find in places like the Himalaya.
    Thank you for showing us this amazing landscape and sharing the stories that make it come to life.

    The great thing I discovered about Iceland during my visit is the Authority’s attitude to ‘risk’. People there are left to make their own decisions concerning what ‘risk’ they expose themselves to and access to places, where elsewhere in the world would be considered too risky, are freely available. For example paths to active volcanic eruptions were not screened off during summer. You can weave your way through Volcanic eruptive thermal springs, stand on the banks of raging icy glacial torrents and walk under freezing waterfalls from melting glacial streams. It’s certainly the land of fire and ice and a place where the ‘Nanny state’ is minimised.

    Beautiful place. Thank you for sharing it with us. It is so interesting to know that precisely in that area is where two geological plates are separating, slowly but unstoppably. You said, Roman, that in the past you used to drive tourists here? Did you take pictures or video there at that time? What changes have you noticed in the height and width of this place? It would be really interesting to see any previous visual material that you may have on this area. Best regards for Nina and for you.

    Good place to send the drone up into the air to see the source of that water.
    All the other times you came there in the past, I know you did not own a drone then.
