ICELAND HIGHLANDS 2023 - Drive Hlíðarvegur to Maelifell to Vik via road F210

This photo of Álftavatn is probably taken by a hiker coming down from the Laugavegur trail. I saw this exact scene from up there.

Love this video! Btw Hv is actually a Kv sound, and ll is like tl, so it is pronounced "Kvolsvotlur". And í is like ee so Vík is pronounced "Veek" and Valdís is pronounced "Valdees"

Thanks, we should have done research on pronunciation.

@@andreaanddave1883 Regarding these sounds as in fjall, fell, hellir and so on, this "T" sound is actually almost not present or at least very soft. You put your tongue in the same place at the gums behind the upper teeth, but instead of letting the air explode at the tip of the tongue, it is released at both sides of the tongue, while keeping the tongue at the T-position.

This is not the cheapest rental vehicle!
