  • Stretching 54 km between the geothermal hot pools of Landmannalaugar and the luscious Þórsmörk valley, the Laugavegur trail is Iceland's best-loved hikes. So we decided it was high time a group of Grapevine adventurers took on the challenge. Tune in for snow and steam in equal measure.

    Thanks Reykjavík Excursions for the ride and 66 North for the fab jackets and trousers!

    This series is great. I think I'll do the Laugavegur next time in Iceland. I really appreciate Poppy's effort: even though she's a first timer she is giving her best! You go girl!
    Lastly I loved Valur's stirring technique

    Iceland is for sure the land of contrasts, and contrast is one of my favourite things. Snow and geothermal activity, hot and cold all at once. This is nature's greatest work of art.
    Thank you for sharing. Still binging your videos.

      @TheReykjavikGrapevine  4 года назад +1

      Yes, we did consider and sometimes we actually do 4k, but most of the cases we are filming using phone camera and increasing resolution in that case doesn’t necessarily make quality better.

    I’d like more info on the green buses at the starting point of the trail. Are they for accomodation at that point?, perhaps facilities for all users??? Is there any way you can show us the interiors and explain their role please?

      Mountain Mall is just a small shop offering basic supplies, groceries, snacks and hot soup. Accommodation only on the campsite or mountain huts managed by Ferðafélag Íslands - www.fi.is/en/mountain-huts/all-mountain-huts

    Thank you am really enjoying this series. Please forgive me but as your English is almost perfect using the word "Abandoned" looks like a wrong translation. "Abandoned" implies the area was previously inhabited, which I don't think is the case in Iceland (apart from the elves). Perhaps you mean uninhabited, remote or wild? All the best.

    • @TheReykjavikGrapevine
      @TheReykjavikGrapevine  4 года назад +2

      Hi David, thanks for your suggestion. This series started and got it's name in April when Iceland was at the peak of its COVID-19 outbreak. Due to travel restrictions Reykjavik's streets and Iceland's beauty spots were tourist-free for the first time in years - hence the name 'Abandoned Iceland.' We're aware that very many Icelanders live here as we are among them!

    End times are here. People please repent and pray to God for his divine protection and healing. He's the king of kings and Lord of Lords. There's nothing impossible for Him. Put all your trust in Him. He's coming to gather the harvest..
