[@aliciatangotweety4815]

I've been saving my money to get to Iceland and trying to schedule it so that you will be my tour leader! I love your videos: so full of information without all the blah blah blah that precede the actual "meat" of the videos done by other YTers more interested in listening to themselves talk than in benefiting the viewer.

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Thank you very much for such a sweet comment, Alicia! Are you joining one of the workshops I lead this winter? I haven't received the participant list yet. :)

[@aliciatangotweety4815]

@@MadsPeterIversen Hello from Missouri! I'm suppose to get 2 wks in Feb off but I can't schedule it yet because I haven't even started the new job! Hah! Iceland Photo tours and I just looked at YOUR website www.mpiphoto.dk/. Lofoten may be too far for what time I have off. Do you ever lead any tours anywhere during the WARMER months?

[@hansgunnaraslaksen7290]

This one really kicks off the return to Iceland! Epicness!

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Thank you so much, Hans! I hope it does :)

[@joachimdondrianohynne5330]

I normally don't comment on KZbin videos but I really appreciate the content you are putting out. For me and many other aspiring photographers this is pure gold. Thank you for putting in the time and effort of making these videos!

[@ianbrown704]

This is the most underated photographic channel on KZbin, stunning drone footage, and sublime photography should be 100k+ subs - great work Mads. Share - Share - Share

[@grahamhobbs3501]

Always about the place and the photography, never about Mads Peter Iversen (despite a very engaging personality and very good video work and great photography) - rapidly becoming my favourite KZbin photography vlog for that reason.

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Thank you very much, Graham! Yeah, I'm not really that interesting as a person ;)

[@marcelzwart3527]

An absolutely amazing first episode of Iceland. The drone opening sequence is fantastic. I hardly can't wait to see the following episodes.

[@3f34f2f4]

The shot at 14:53 is the best shot I've seen anywhere within the last few months - well done.

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Thank you so much, Dana! Yeah it's also one I really like myself!

[@multipleman78]

I went to Iceland just over a month ago and this was a definite highlight. One of the most amazing places i have ever been to.

[@MadsPeterIversen]

I'm so happy to hear that! To me it's also one of my favorites :)

[@christelleguilloteau6948]

Such a feeling of well being... I really appreciate your work. You brought me back to Iceland and it has no price ... THANK YOU SO MUCH Mads !!!

[@MadsPeterIversen]

You're so very welcome, Christelle! :)

[@DavidDixon]

"Epic" is verging on being an understatement! What a superb intro! I'm looking forward to the rest of the series.

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Hehe thanks a lot, David! It might be ;)

[@richarddelasota1812]

Your videos keep getting more - how to put it? - epic. The opening footage gave me chills.

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Fantastic! That's the best feeling! :) Thanks a lot!

[@JaypeaFoto]

The crater is super cool, especially from the drone.

[@marilynrichards979]

Really enjoy the educational content and history in all your videos. Always Quality video and superb photos. Continue to enjoy all your videos even though I'm watching out of sequence and many times in reverse order. It doesn't matter since the content is great in every video. Thank you for all you do.

[@SethPay]

I love the second photo. The crater rising from the cloud layer looks like a ghost ship in a foggy sea. Mysterious and beautiful. Truly spectacular, Mads!

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Thank you very much, Seth! Yeah, I love it too!

[@unclebob7902]

Hi Mads, I have to agree with you that Iceland is do magestic, beautiful and wild that it will pull you back. I visited last November for the first time and I can't wait for the next trip. The shots taken from the drone are spectacular.

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Thank you so much! Yeah, it's kinda addictive!

[@PhilipDurkin]

Simply stunning drone footage. I can't stop watching your stuff. It's just amazing.

[@donburgiss421]

Mads, by far your best work. What an amazing, truly magnificent piece of work.

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Thank you so much, Donald! It means a lot :)

[@thewanderingeye7133]

amazing! Intro was really one of the best uses of a drone. Can't wait to see this amazing place. thanks for making this video!

[@MadsPeterIversen]

You're very welcome! :)

[@lotrlks]

Your photos are always breath taking.

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Thank you very much, Leif! :)

[@LozejNina]

wow can't believe I've been watching your videos since you released the first episodes from Iceland... and now the series is just getting more and more epic :) really enjoyed the drone footage, and the background music... I'm already excited to watch the next episode :)

[@MadsPeterIversen]

You're most welcome, Nina and yeah what a journey! I'm so happy to receive your continued support!

[@jimcooke5590]

That was amazing mads. Great drone footage and awesome images. This is going to be a cracking series and not to be missed

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Thank you very much, Jim! Means a lot and I hope I can deliver!

[@cosmohudson7178]

Mads, that photo of the blue snow with the soft clouds is magnificent! Absolutely blew my mind

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Thank you so much, Cosmo! Yes it's such a wonderfull shot :)

[@fredericdemeus6163]

I think we have to create a new word for these kind of video's. The word "EPIC" isn't just enough anymore ! A M A Z I N G Mads !! Love Iceland, Want to go baaaaaaack !

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Haha! Thank you, Frederic! I hope you get to go back!

[@peterosterman8206]

Thanks for a nice upload, beautiful music played in the background, and beautiful pictures as always!

[@MadsPeterIversen]

You're very welcome Peter! Yeah, I love that music!

[@roobarb7989]

Outstanding footage and of course stunning photography Mads. Can't wait for the rest of the series especially as I'm returning to Iceland in June. I was in North Iceland last year and its is stunning. You and your channel are a constant inspiration to me.

[@sararobertson1856]

Hi Mads, BOOM! Take a bow mads 👏👏👏👏👏👏 a joy to watch, What a way to start this series ,epic vlog mads really stunning work, the love and joy of what you do really shines through, can't wait for the next one x

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Thank you, Paul, and yes, that's also a favorite of mine!

[@valk-photography]

This is another, higher level video !!! Rare to see this quality on youtube ! I like the subtle but highly educational / photographic tips. I'm looking out for the next episodes ...... Thank you Mads for sharing this EPIC piece of work !!!!!!

[@MadsPeterIversen]

You're most welcome and thank you as always, Mario!

[@nxploring]

I really appreciate your work and your ambition to do and do more for your subscribers and your community. Keep going buddy!

[@MadsPeterIversen]

You're very welcome! I'll keep going :)

[@paulwayman5137]

Great stuff as usual Mads. Especially liked the drone footage. Loved the 'talking to drone' at around 14 mins. Kept you on the third as it circled you, fab!!

[@aritz_atela]

Very excited to see more footage of this journey Mads. Pretty sure you´ve got stunning imagery. Thanks for sharing these "wow" footages ;)

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Thank you very much, Aritz! I have some stunners coming :)

[@balajiramalingam1710]

So far one of the best ... Amazing. Keep doing more of these. My best wishes to your future videos.

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Thank you very much! I'll continue it :)

[@SCAerialsSteveCarpenter]

Wow, Mads this video is spectacular! Truly looking forward to viewing the full series of your Iceland experience; Thank You, outstanding!

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Thank you very, very much, Steve! :)

[@chriskirby70]

Amazing video and images mate....I soooooo have to go here. Can not wait for the rest of the series.

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Thank you, Christopher! Yes you do! :)

[@adriancardona3410]

Thank you so much for these amazing episodes! I came across them while researching my upcoming Iceland trip and I can honestly say I was blown away by your photography, explanations, enthusiasm and will to share your expertise. Massive well done!

[@ianclark2722]

Hi Mads, Really enjoyed the video and the great images, it goes without saying I am very much looking forward to the new series, can,t wait, regards Ian

[@GeertGroot]

Indeed EPIC! Visiting Iceland soon and i'm getting so much information and inspiration out of this series! Thank You Mads!

[@tomduncan3547]

Looks like a wonderful place to visit. The drone is invaluable for seeing that huge crater. Nice stuff.

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Yes! Indeed it is. But it's worth going there without :)

[@turfguy100]

Hi Mads, I am so exited watching your videos. I am planning a trip to Iceland this September, I will be watching your new series to gain more knowledge before I go. Thank you as always!

[@MadsPeterIversen]

You're going to have a blast of a tour! :)

[@bobincdas]

Just unbelievable MADS ! You raise the bar of production quality with every video of yours !! So when are you visiting the US again ?

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Thank you very much, Bobin! I'd love to return... but drones are banned in all the places I want to fly, so it's a bit hard :P

[@Vetax]

Oh man, that video was insane! I can't imagine anyone would be able to watch it and not feel like packing their bags and taking a spontaneous trip to Iceland. Fantastic cinematography too, an opening sequence worthy of any professional Planet Earth-esque documentary/tv series. Keep up the fantastic work - I am already looking forward to catching the rest of the episodes!

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Thank you very much, Ian! That means a lot and is a huge compliment :)

[@michaelbottari6398]

Maps you do always in your Videos a very good Job. I'm in pleasure to see your newest video.

[@johnsholian4318]

Stellar work Mads! Can't wait to see more from your trip. Cheers!

[@verahelfter3542]

This is one of the best videos I have watched in a while! Photographic and drone work is amazing.

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Thank you SO much, Vera! Means a lot :)

[@finedecks]

Not much to add. Just fantastic. Great job Mads

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Hehe thanks a lot, Clemens, that's enough ;)

[@oddbjrnaustevikfoto]

Hi Mads. Just wanted to drop a line and say that this was a very well put together film. I'm fairly sure this is my first video I've watched from you, and I'm certainly glad I gave it a go. I've visited Iceland as a youngster, and ever since then I've wanted to take the landscape photographers pilgrimage properly. Until then, this video series will have to suffice I guess :) Loved the image at 14:35, made well use of the surroundings. Greetings from a fellow Scandinavian and lots of luck with the series. I can see it's a lot of work put into them! Looking forward to see more from you mate! All the best, Oddbjørn

[@gordroberts53]

I have added Iceland to my bucket list, very near the top! Thanks for sharing!

[@lukek2872]

hey hey! Sorry was away from civilisation so comment comes a bit late. You are definitely raising the bar with regards to video. Gratz for the intro especially, it is in many ways 'haute voltige' ;) And the mixture of travel / educational content is a great novelty. Given how many places you covered in the first run in Iceland, I can't wait to see what you will cover in this serie!

[@nicholaswesson3183]

Thank you very much for these video, Mads. Beautiful work.

[@mountain_goat1]

Mads, What fantastic work you’ve done! I have recently been to Iceland and even though I didn’t get see all of the perspectives you’ve shown, I love seeing your work so I can aim to go to more places next time I visit. I’ve only just started watching your stuff and binged all the earlier Iceland now starting phase two. Well done!

[@BobbyBabaletskos]

Wow! What an intro, Mads! As grand as an Iceland experience can be! I will just have to watch this a few times over. Splendid job!

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Haha thanks a lot, Bobby! :D

[@victor-ferreira]

I have been there, but drone perspective is incredible!!! Mads thank you so much for sharing this wonder by air😉

[@DarrenKnightPhoto]

Every video gets better and better and You’re really taking your production to another level. I’ll have to check your website for workshops Best wishes Darren

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Thank you very much, Darren! Workshops are coming, I'll announce something through my newsletter :)

[@johnfarinelli4208]

Great video. Time flew by watching it due to the excellent content and narration!

[@richardswift8517]

More fantastic Images Mads, Im looking forward to the rest of this series already.

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Thank you, Richard! I think you'll enjoy it :)

[@GregSheard]

Stunning place and amazing photos! Your videos are really going up a whole new level now too which is fantastic :)

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Thank you very much, Sheard! :)

[@growingnutz851]

Awsome drone footage. Brilliant idea for an opener .👌🏼

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Thank you very much! :)

[@yannfortin7035]

Mind blowing drone footage! Your last photo is so incredible, it must have been such an amazing sight. Loved your choice of music there, it was very appropriate for this epicness! Cheers.

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Thank you very much, Yann! Means SO much! :D

[@joedavies1524]

A new series, great! Terrific drone footage Mads, but please dont neglect the stills :)

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Oh boy that's definitely not my intention! It's still what I love the most to do :)

[@pulo975]

Hi Mads. It's an epic shame that i have watched all your videos from the Iceland series and yet this is my first comment. But you so deserve it for the quality of your work,your passion and also your impact on redefining my thoughts on photography. The intro to this video made me wanna jump to a plane and return to Iceland immediately. Your channel is on my top 3 list for so long now and i am so glad and thankful for finding you here on you tube. Keep the good(amazing) work man,and i'll keep waiting for those notifications from your channel :) :) :) !!! Cheers

[@MadsPeterIversen]

You're most welcome, Entoni! I'm very happy you enjoy my content and have you as a subscriber!

[@ColinMichaelis]

Excellent opening video on your new Iceland series, Mads. I would use the word “epic” but others have already done that. On second thoughts, who cares. ;-). Epic!

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Haha true! I think I said it like three times during the intro alone! :)

[@tonyturner7676]

Absolutely stunning images, Mads. Loved seeing the crater at different times of the year, each season displaying its own special attributes. Impossible to pick my favourite image, although the panorama of the crater was quite incredible. Thank you.

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Thank you very much, Tony! Yeah it looks good in almost all conditions

[@Brenda-xc7sq]

You put so much effort and time into your videos, we are all lucky to enjoy the fruits of your work. Brilliantly done.

[@MadsPeterIversen]

You're very welcome, Brenda! And thanks a lot :)

[@bryanhaakenson1640]

Wow, your Iceland videos are incredible!

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Thanks a lot, Bryan!

[@bainiboyfoodandadventure]

Just wondering why you only have 15k subs when you create excellent videos,you’re genius that’s why I click the subs button the first time I watched your video.

[@MadsPeterIversen]

I don't know why either, but it's slowly increasing :)

[@QuietLightPhoto]

Brilliant, Mads! Absolutely love the drone footage throughout. Drama, history, good photography, the full package deal, haha.

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Thank you very, very much, Adam! Means a lot :) Guess who inspired me to make longer drone sequences ;)

[@JohnniKiziryan]

thank you kindly for this epic idea with amazing video ..God Bless ...! good luck on your next project ..!!

[@kevlockwood8950]

Very enjoyable thanks 😊

[@MadsPeterIversen]

You're most welcome, Kev!

[@jongrall]

YES!! Really excited for the new Iceland episodes. Stunning aerial footage, Mads! When you listed how many different conditions you had seen the crater in I was pretty surprised. Just how many times have you been to Iceland now? It sounds like at least half a dozen! I’ve actually been right near this location on my first visit to Iceland. I saw people hiking on the big crater but we instead explored nearby Krafla Crater (the one with the bright blue lake in the mouth of the volcano, near the geothermal plant). The wind was *insane* and sadly the lake was still frozen over, but it was a fun memory nonetheless. Nearby Myvatn Nature Baths were also good fun.

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Ah yes, the (for me) infamous Krafla crater. Never been there in good conditions. The neighbor lava field is very cool though! I've been in this area during all seasons, but collectively I've "only" been to Iceland four times. But that's around 100 days all in all.

[@sbrenden]

Mads, Mads, Mads, this is so incredible! Amazing video! What a journey :D Thanks. You make me wanna go there right now!

[@michaelcorrigan5232]

More amazing work, brilliant start.

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Thank you very much, Michael! :)

[@scotty4418]

I would say your opening sequence didnt just turnout out ok Mads, it turned out to be mind blowing. I feel like you're taking us back to a spiritual home, to continue the journey of seeing a country that simply holds so much natural beauty that when you see it in your images, the feeling of emotion and well being is in such abundance. Thank you Mads and already the anticipation of more to come is exciting

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Thank you so much! That's a good word! Mind-blowing :D I hope the next videos will live up the hype ;)

[@timscanlanphotography]

Hi Mads. This is an outstanding video. You've now taken your film making to a higher level and are one of best KZbin landscape photography vloggers. I'm sure still photography will always be your first love (as your stunning images prove) but you have a real talent for film making. What a fantastic location Hverfjall is ! I bet no two days are ever the same there. Finally, I hope your channel continues to grow and you get the success you deserve.

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Thank you so much, Tim! That's a huge compliment! Photography is the first priority, but I sure do enjoy making these videos too :)

[@huwashhurst9822]

I'd have to second that Tim! You're a great presenter Mads. A Natural! And your film making is indeed getting VERY impressive. Super inspiring!

[@paulbowen6600]

Wow, what an epic opening sequence, I thought I had stumbled into a Lord Of The Rings scene, great vlog, cannot wait until the next one!

[@michaeltucker5505]

Awesome video, very beautiful and inspirational. Thank you for sharing your beautiful videos.

[@MadsPeterIversen]

You're very welcome, Michael and thanks al ot! :)

[@urbanangel0409]

Absolutely stunning photography. Mind blowing. Iceland is on my bucket list:)

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Thank you very much, Maggie! :)

[@charass1]

Is this BBC earth footage 😯? Wow Mads you are taking it to the next level. 👌

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Aww thank you Lukas! No sadly they haven't hired me yet ;)

[@G0FUW]

You keep raising the bar Mads - well done! I had gone off the idea of going to Iceland as it often looks overrun with photographers but you and Nigel have made me realise there is more to country than a handful of cliche shots.Looking forward to more episodes.

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Hell yeah there is! :D I hope to show you some amazing locations which is hardly photographed at all. The main problem is there're so many locations to choose from and most people only go to the most popular ones. The public material from the highlands are very, very limited but during August and September, it's crammed with the most amazing nature and photo opportunities!

[@philipculbertson55]

An amazing place for sure. The videography is awesome. It is like something from National Geographic.

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Thank you very much, Philip! :)

[@peterjulianphotos4659]

Having visited at the peak of summer HVERFJALL is impossible to get scale without a drone, such a difference to other seasons - we felt like we were on Mars as we walked up the slope to the crater rim. I found some interesting opportunities at Hverir and the Myvatn Nature Baths would offer great opportunity for Northern Lights as well.

[@ceilihmcgrady4125]

Awesome video! The landscape, the music, it was very enjoyable. I love the photos you shared as well. Beautiful compositions!

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Thank you very much, Ceilih! I'm very happy you liked it all :)

[@patrickhertzog1110]

Absolutly A M A Z I N G intro ! Who said they have to be short, no longer than 15 sec....😂

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Hehe thanks! And yes I agree - if Peter Jackson can make an 11 hour epic... I guess I can handle 16 minutes ;)

[@wladimirmenoni3004]

I love your videos, Peter!

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Thank you very much, Wladimir :)

[@michaeljrgensen6350]

Fantastic 😀 love the video and the pics at the end of the video

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Thank you very much, Michael! :)

[@trevorhughes7399]

Very enjoyable 1st instalment Mads, thank you. Looking forward to the next.

[@MadsPeterIversen]

You're most welcome, Trevor! Means a lot :)

[@johanlisspers7934]

the video content is as always super Mads! Lovely you edit in 4K👌

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Thanks a lot, Johan! Yes it looks jaw-dropping in 4k!

[@Gtandmj]

Another stellar video Mads! Can’t wait to see the rest!! Truly inspiring drone footage! Would love a drone tips video at some point! Settings, flying tips, and even editing (Guessing Premier?) Do you ever use any 3rd party apps like Litchi to automate the multiple row panoramas?

[@vaamorais]

Hi Peter! I have started to watch your Iceland series although I am not sure if I am doing it in the right order - browsing through the playlists seems to make sense but I am not sure. Maybe you have a suggestion as to how to watch the Iceland series? Now as to this episode and this location in particular, what I found more interesting is that this location is a very big challenge and with great potential not so much as to make mesmerising photographs but more to improve ones skills as a photographer, specially when it comes to composition.

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Hi Vitor, there's no real way to watch the series. The episodes is just based on when I made them. You can either use the playlist or just go for the thumbnails. I write the episode title on the thumbnails (beside the aurora episode, that's episode 25) ;)

[@jbairdexp]

Great video Mads...really enjoyed the opening sequence...shame my 4K TV is broken at the moment so had to slum it on my 2K monitor... still looked really good. Loved the location...but my first thought was that I wanted to put on my trail running shoes and run the rim. Really looking forward to the next episode.

[@dhexistentialist5215]

One word... epic!

[@MadsPeterIversen]

One sentence... thank you so very much!! :D

[@kitsva]

This is Epic!!! Thank you for sharing.

[@MadsPeterIversen]

You're most welcome! And thanks a lot :)

[@ian_worth]

WOW !! Awesome drone footage Mads, it sure is an incredible place, one day!! :)

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Thank you so much, Ian! I hope you'll get there ;)

[@AntonAshcroft]

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Thank you very much, Anton! :)

[@mattijaffe8881]

Magnificent. Thanks.

[@MadsPeterIversen]

I'm very happy to hear that!

[@snookerant]

What a intro & as always informative mads. Can’t wait for next one ☺️

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Thank you very much! :)

[@miltonpics]

Fantastic stuff Mads. I passed Hverfjall when I was in Iceland last year, but didn't climb it. Something for next time.

[@MadsPeterIversen]

It sure is! Love this place :)

[@Snowcatnz2]

😮 Wow great video as usual. great timelapses. Loved the first 21 episodes of your Iceland videos, now looking forward to more. One quick question, what do you think if the K&F Concepts tripod? I am looking at getting one myself so would apreciate your opinion.
