Jötnar - Dani Arnold - Climbing among ice giants

Dani Arnold, a Swiss climber, is known for his breathtaking solo ascents on the great north faces. But when he's not setting speed records, he's traveling the globe in search of climbable ice. There is one country in particular that has fascinated him: Iceland. In February 2022, Dani Arnold together with Martin Echser and Davide Guzzardi traveled to the land of the old Norse giants, the Jötnar. The film team around Lukas Kusstatscher and Thomas Monsorno captured the unique moments.

wahnsinnig guter Film

[@ssh17hx0r]

Great video! These are the kind of experience that make real adventure. No sponsorship appeasement, no impressing "the community" just some friends kicking ass in the world and making memories they'll talk about for years to come.

Sick!! Man, I wanted to see you pull the lip on the glacier ice…

[@johu70]

Einfach nur wooww 😮

[@shawnmorgan2328]

Thanks for sharing! I did a very similar trip in 2016. Drove Route 1 around the entire island. Climbed mostly in the north. Just 2 of us, so we didn't get a lot of pics or footage. It was super cool to watch your film and reminisce! Was your seaside climbing on the Bjorg farm in Husavik? That's where we stayed. Amazing climbing and awesome hosts!

[@mehulpangtey]

wow

[@aron7548]

nice

[@tanimowo]

god bless drones

[@jussiheinonen2463]

Iceland and its rocks did not form due to COLLISION of two tectonic plates. They formed due to DIVERGENCE of two tectonic plates (Eurasian and North-American), which is the exact opposite. Because of the divergence the hot mantle beneath Iceland can rise and form magmas and volcanoes in the rift zone. The shapes are columnar joints in thick basaltic lava flows. They form due to thermal contraction of the cooling volcanic rock, which explains their even shape and distribution. But yeah, you do not have to be a geologist to go climbing great places. Nice video!

[@TheSystemer]

Was für atemberaubende Aufnahmen, da habt ihr einen echten Drohnenprofi am Werk :) Super schönes Video, danke!

[@daniarnold6398]

Danke dir, ja wir hatten einen super "Pilot" und Fotografen dabei:-)

[@TheSystemer]

@@daniarnold6398 Wirklich unglaubliche Bilder die ihr geliefert habt, während des Eiskletterns des Meer nebendran & auch die Kletteraufnahmen neben dem Wasserfall... Da geht einem das Naturherz auf :D Solche Kombinationen findet man sicherlich nur sehr selten auf dieser Erde. Geiles Ding!

[@daniarnold6398]

@@TheSystemer Danke dir für deinen Kommentar. Ja es war speziell, gerade die vielen verschiedenen Landschaften und Strukturen. Man kann sehr viel in kurzer Zeit erleben. lg Dani

[@grarfloup]

Awesome! Is that Glymur at the beginning ?

[@daniarnold6398]

exactly🙂

It's sad that you don't have a million views already. Goes to show everything wrong with KZbin algorithm.

[@pontusolssonPrivat]

why as a swede do i understand alot of this

[@wykrywaczbulszitu8773]

Rety rozumiem hobby , ale rywalizacja i poświęcanie życia na tak głupie cele to czyste marnotrawstwo. Współczuję rodzinie, to jak z narkomanem który niszczy życie a wszyscy są bezradni. Choć znajdą się tacy co doszukaja się w tym logiki, inspiracji a nawet przypiszą temu fałszywy sens. Moje kondolencje.

[@olddirtydoggy]

Really like this guys beardy thing. He should move it onto his top lip for fun, would suit him.

[@alchimusfifrelin8173]

Nice documentary, Dany Arnold is a great climber, thank you !
