I went to Akureyri on a short holiday in winter 2019, it snowed when I was there(it felt wrong to go there in summer), ive been to several countries on holiday, I really fell in love with Akureyri, my favourite holiday destination so far, Godafoss frozen looks exactly like the photo I've got on my phone 😆

[@VividIceland]

100% agree - it's certainly a winter destination. Such a great place to visit, nice atmosphere and beautiful surroundings. Very peaceful! I am currently editing another Akureyri video that I hope to have out by the end of the month, stay tuned :)

[@mrmr5580]

I really like how you did the video, brings back memories, can't wait to go back, ive liked and subscribed because of the video

Wow so different with all that snow! Fantastic photography of the snowy forest.

It was incredible to see so many icicles on it!

This is the life. Beautiful snowy scenery in my favourite country to visit with an ice cream 🍦 on top ❄️🇮🇸❤️

Oh my Gođafoss! Even more spectacular in the snow ❄ Love this northern area of Iceland 💙 and await part 2 steamy scenes! ♨️

Love the Aussie Beanie 👌 Not sure why they would need one in the Northern Territory but it’s definitely at home in Iceland 😎

[@VividIceland]

Good point! Well spotted too :)

@@VividIceland Maybe I should bring you something from Sydney when I come for a look in September 😎

[@astridmerkt7630]

Brilliant content! So well done :) Where do you recommend to rent the cross country skis?

[@VividIceland]

Good question, I'm glad you asked. We rented them from this place: goo.gl/maps/vAbsG96vuBbmfaAv9 (Skíðaþjónustan) They even had shoes big enough for my big feet so I think virtually everyone should be covered!

[@jenniferpersinger4020]

Are there designated places to ski in this area or do you just go and ski wherever you like? I’m from the US where we generally have to go pay at a resort!

[@VividIceland]

There are indeed designated skiing areas that you have to pay for... but if you know the area well enough and are daring enough you can ski pretty much anywhere you like!

Get you someone who looks at you the way she looked at that ice cream.

[@VividIceland]

hahaha!

Hi, what month did you visit?

[@VividIceland]

We visited the North in the middle of March this year (2021), hope that helps!
