- Thingvellir (Parliament Valleys) seen from above in winter time. 4K Drone. From 09:10 - Almannagja Gorge (Canyon of General Assembly) From 06:20 - Flosagja (Money) Canyon - gorge in Þingvellir that merges with Nikulásargjá gorge at the end of a lava rim called Spöngin . Flosagjá and Nikulásargjá gorges are therefore interconnected. Magistrate Nikulás Magnússon will have drowned in Nikúlásargjá on July 24 , 1742 , but Nikulásargjá is also sometimes called Nikulásarpyttur, after people started throwing coins into Nikulásargjá canyon from the bridge, which is part of the road to Þingvellir farm. People now call the place Peningagjá (Money Gorge). Many people only know the chasm by that name, but that is not its real name. #Thingvellir #TectonicPlates #Tectonic #Iceland

Glad you two still together.
Thank you
@@IcelandExplorer We have not seen her in a while .
That was the best video of a tectonic fault line out there. Thanks for posting it. Excellent descriptions of the geology in your country.
Beyond beautiful
Beautiful footage of the Thingvellir valley. The thin snow cover enhances the topography of the fault scarps.
You did a great job on explaining the geologic situation of plate boundaries. For people from the USA, the famous example of a transform plate boundary is the San Andreas Fault in California.
Great piece❤
This is how I remember it from my trip there 4 years ago (just before the world closed for the covid). Beautiful, and required the microspikes on the shoes!
Breathtaking beauty 🤗💖
Beautiful drone footage! Thank you very much for sharing this area with us.
Beautiful country! Thank you for sharing this knowledge about the rifts.
Amazing place :) . We learn something new every day! Thanks so much for the tour and explanation.
Very cool! Thank you for sharing.
Fun to see some pieces of forest!! Thank you for the beautiful scenery and dialog!!
Your videos make me want to move to Iceland 🇮🇸
This was amazing!! Thank you for the geology of this area of Iceland. It is beautiful!! I did have some trouble hearing you. If you could lower the volume of the music, it would be greatly appreciated.
Wonderful ! Thank you , Roman .😊
I was there last year on a Golden Circle bus tour. Fascinating, like all of Iceland.
Thank you Roman for this great video ❤
The geology is awesome and makes me want to visit Iceland - thank you!
My heart soars when I see Iceland… Thank you!
Very nice.
Very interesting video. Many thanks.
Thank you.
Great to see from a different angle - looks so much better in the snow
Loved seeing this in winter.
Hi Nina!!!
that would be nice to see in the spring / summer, thank u for the winter shot that u are doing 💕🦜🎶🎶
So beautiful! It's good that you were able to include people in part of the video because that showed how big everything is. Thank you for relating the history of the area too!
Beautiful Drone footage from snow covered Þingvellir.. and not offen seen like this & verry impressive information.. I have no trubbel with the sound/music I think it's lovely in the background.. Thank's for sharing.. Enjoy life 💕🇮🇸✌️💕
THE LADY IS VERY PLAYFUL...
Grazie infinite Grazie bel video un saluto a Te e alla tua amica
This is fascinating!! I see some patches of forest… I’m surprised there isn’t more, is there a reason why? Thank you for this lovely and informative video.
Very good!
Thank You Sir, for all your RUclips content, you create wonderful videos, this one really struck a chord with me, as you explained it really well, an a way that was not too scientific, I have visited this place, and was emotionally moved, as I sat and admired the amazing landscape, and felt a spiritual connection, that I have never been able to explain. Looking forward to coming back soon and spending some time there again.
Keep up the good work that you do for your channel, its really very good indeed.
That was amazing! Thank you and greetings from Germany!
Like a nice comfortable bedtime story
Such a beautiful place. Thanks for clarifying. When we visited this spot I thought that area between the cliffs with the spectacular waterfall was actually ‘the line’ between plates. 😮
Very nice, thank you very much. Greetings from the Netherlands.
Magnificent geology! It shows that the mid atlantic ridge is running through Iceland. Amazing tectonic forces in your wonderful country!
Terrific video, thank you
Thanks for this great footage.Greetings from Brunsvik
Excellent video with great views and very interesting explanation about the tectonic setting and history. Nice flying.
TY Roman.. so interesting, your info. / reports always are.👍
very beautiful ! Awesome drone photography, very much enjoyed thank you for sharing
Stunning place. So desolate there.
Thank you
I wish my health would let me visit there, I loved exploring gorges, caves, and mountains when I was fitter.
This is lovely, especially with snow contrasting against the lava. We walked the gorge thinking it was the two plates until a park ranger explained the 5 kilometer gap. 😂Amazing explanations. Thank you.
This is so beautiful and informative, and the music is a lovely touch. Good to see you both doing well!
❤. we will be going there! In a few months. Thank you so much, Roman and Nina
Great Views. seeing this can explain how stories of gods & heroes became.
Fascinating! Thanks!
This was beautiful footage, along with your calming demeanor while telling us about the geological facts as well as the middle ages history.
TY 👍
very cool ride along Roman
Thank you great video I hope to come visit sometime
👍👍
What beauty indeed. Were it not for the occasional dash of colour from bright clothing or a lighted window, this could well have been a black-and-white video.
Thanks for sharing 🙏🏽🙏🏽
GutnTog, How is your wife, Nina? Very good and informative video!! Thanks, from Central Arizona!!!
She was doing those funny antics in the very beginning of this video 😊
It would be easier to follow what you're saying without background music. If you feel you must have it, thanks for keeping it soft.
Frankly, I barely noticed it, and most documentaries nowadays not only do it this way, but the background music is much louder and annoying. I pretty much quit watching most documentaries because of that.
What mic are you using, @Iceland Explorer? Your voice is clear and sharp, not muffled at all.
Hi Roman. I visited Thingvellir in June 2023 (and also in 1979), like you said, the guides are telling the incorrect story about the rift in Thingvellir. My family travelled alone without a guide. Our golden circle was to drive around Iceland by car, some 3000 kilometers in total. I've always been interested in geology and knew about the small Icelandic plate on one side of Thingvellir 🙂To my knowledge there is no place on the plate boundaries in Iceland where you can have one foot on each continent. The bridge on Reykjanes is maybe where the plates are closest to each other, but I may be wrong 🙂We drove by that bridge, we also visited the plate boundary in Husavik in northern Iceland. Me and my wife hope to be back in Iceland in the near future. Greetings from Norway 🙂
_Edit: I wrote this comment before I got too far into the video, so hats off to Roman for also giving this explanation!_
FunFact: The boundaries of tectonic plates are hella-complex. You can't draw a nice line and say, "On _this side,_ we have the such-and-such-plate, but on the other side, it's a different continent!" Because at plate boundaries, you have lots of little nanoplates breaking off and recombining.
And, just to make matters more complex, the Mid-Atlantic Ridge actually _forks_ under Iceland, so Iceland actually sits on _3 tectonic plates:_ the N.American plate, the Eurasian Plate, and a microplate that sits under southern Iceland. Seljalandsfoss is on that microplate. Vik is on the Eurasian Plate [or may be at the eastermost edge of the rift-zone between the Eurasian Plate and that microplate.]
So, the gorges and grabens at Thingvellir are part of an entire _rift zone_ between this microplate and the N.American Plate. The entire Reykjannes Penninsula is also part of that smae rift-zone. Reykjavik, however, is on the N.American Plate.
So, sorry to say, but anything in Iceland calling itself, "The Bridge Between Continents," is just a bridge over 2 nanoplates in the broader rift-zone between continents.
Thank you for that awesome drone footage of this area. I was just watching "How the Earth Works" on the great courses. How far did you fly your drone from where you where standing? Great piloting.
Up to 2 km each way
Thanks@@IcelandExplorer
💯🎶💯
I was using Silki channel to send helium 3 to crystallize the volcano. I will have to continue with you guys
We have our very visible *"San Andreas"* where one plate is either sliding under another tectonic plate OR the plates are pushing against each other.
. *_"Hollywood LO❤ES this area"_* .
The San Andreas Fault is a transform plate boundary, but the section next to LA has convergence that causes the east-west Transverse Ranges.

Very Good 🧐 📚📚📚 👍
HI Roman.
Der er en der har drysset flourmelis ud over landskabet, det ser fint ud. Kan man gå der eller går man der hvor vikingerne gik?
Newfoundland is made up of the North American plate, the European plate, and the African plate. Very interesting.
What happened to silki
I dont know. I dont follow that channel.
She’s still uploading, often twice daily. Channel called On The Pulse with Silki
@@CazPea I love how she talks
