So Many Amazing Waterfalls! Solo Hiking The Fimmvörðuháls Trail in Iceland

[@BuckMckawtheotherone]

You know what, Dixie, this is one of your best videos. Not just the scenery, which is primordially magical, but the way you filmed all this. It was solemn and pristine at the same time, hard to describe, but it made me feel like a walk back in time. You captured it all very well. Thank you.

[@mikec8529]

some of those shots should be in an imax.

[@flysubcompact]

@@mikec8529 Was thinking the same thing.

[@sledawgpilot]

ML well said.

[@montyollie]

Thank you for sharing with us that you were having personal issues and questioning whether or not a hike was poor timing or not. I can DEFINITELY vouch for this piece of advice! These past two years of covid have been brutal, with my mom winding up in long term care and so many other horrible things happening along the way. But you are SO RIGHT, I could either be miserable in my bed or miserable in the woods and the woods won. And my god, I it took the edge off. Thank you so much for all you have done for us out here in the hiking community by being so authentic and sharing the good with the bad.

[@flysubcompact]

Amen. After having my soul crushed in a divorce, some of the best therapy was from hitting a trail or making the first ripples on a calm morning lake in my kayak. "Out there" is a healing place. Fact.

[@davidprather9079]

There's a KZbin photographer named Nigel Dansen. I'm a photographer so I follow his channel. I thought his photo journal trips to Iceland were about as good as it gets until I saw yours. Not only is your photography/editing great but you add something to the experience that others can't seem to bring. Oh yeah, and those bad times? I think we may need to go through them and come out ok so we can tell others going through them how we did it. Looking forward to the next episode!

[@Jeff-jg7jh]

I was thinking the same thing. I have watched plenty of vids with famous photographers at Iceland and I like this every bit as well. Better in a lot of ways.

[@HomemadeWanderlust]

Wow, thank you so much ♥️

[@sara40111]

@@HomemadeWanderlust I agree with the messages above I was just watching this one to. The sounds of the rowing waterfalls you caught at the half mid ending of the video. Breathtaking to watch. Thank you for sharing your trip I enjoyed watching this video so much was beautiful.

[@libertyvilleguy2903]

My, the inside of that A frame is tidy and clean. Kudos to the hikers respect for property.

[@Henning_Rech]

It is a managed hut with a warden.

[@tanstaafl1960]

Yes, a really nice hut! “Please DO NOT brush your teeth in here. Just outside.” And the hikers who read that sign are probably like, “Oh. Okay.” Politeness and respect for the house rules; that’s refreshingly reasonable. 👍

[@davidreed5443]

That was one of the most beautiful waterfalls I've ever seen on planet earth!!!! (the last one) Geez!!!!!!!! Love!!!! The sound and emotion in that place must go deep down into one's being💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙

[@jeanneskrocki1054]

So many people resonate with how you bring us along and we just love you, Dixie! I am sorry for the sad times you are going through but even in that you continue to inspire as you work your way through it. Praying that you stay strong and that the love of family and friends and all the folks here eases some of the pain.❤️

[@DadBodDrumming]

Dixie brings southern charm to the world. I loved this video. Not sure I will ever make it to iceland but I am living that trip through your wonderful words and images. Hopefully your personal life has been improving and you continue to spread joy.

[@bigburdi]

So thrilled to hear some of my favorite classical pieces on your channel, rachmannioff's second piano concerto is a very nostalgic piece for me, I had a roommate in college who used to play through the whole thing on a piano we shared, it was a wonderful place and a wonderful time in my life, thank you for branching out and not sticking us with the same old canned free stuff that other tubers do

[@bernardlyons2422]

Stunning. That flyaway shot of the triple waterfall was fabulous. Thank you Dixie.

[@jessicafuller9170]

Wow! Just wow!

[@montyollie]

I have always found the one word you say with your heavy southern accent is "ice" and it sounds like "ass" to my ear. So all those times you talked about your ice axe or stuff like that, I would chuckle. And now you are in ASSLAND! So glad you got to do this, it's quite magnificent! I'm too cold natured to even contemplate such a thing!!

I had no idea that Iceland was so beautiful. Thank you so much for the vicarious journey Dixie.

[@Mtnsunshine]

Wow. What a raw and rugged landscape. Nothing has been softened by wind, rain and growth of plants. Truly a ‘new earth’ vibe there. Stunning. And those trails, with the sheer drop offs…..yikes ! 😱

[@jeffbell9771]

Sorry you were sad. Glad the trip helped. For sure a different and beautiful place.

[@rockytopwrangler2069]

.. Thank You SO Much Dixie ... This video is amazing !!! ...

[@michaelbattin6717]

Stunning thanks for sharing

[@davidensign5172]

Oh, my, gosh! Spectacular! So glad this hike cheered you. Perked me up too. Tagging along where my wheel chair will never go. Thank you! Remember, we're all in this together. Some days I need encouragement; others I'm the cheer leader. Bless you, Dixie!

[@shellyross8283]

Wow! Amazing!

[@aimlesslyrunning5127]

I love how we went from Ice & Wind to Water an now fire is coming *Excitement*

[@martinforrester8249]

Great video Dixie, I love your channel. Its true what you say, regardless of problems that turn up sometimes, nature is a great healer. I'm just in remission from stage four prostate cancer. It's left me with very little energy and I've been a hiker and climber for fifty years. Positive thinking is so important too. I hope your troubles get resolved soon and you turn the corner into happiness again.

[@lucyalderman422]

View and flowers are beautiful very beautiful

[@surysatha26]

Simply amazing scenery! Thanks Dixie for the trip! As for the trials of life- you know the old saying-what doesn’t kill us only makes us stronger. Though the painful part usually involves others we love we can help them and that helps us. Be strong!

[@rebeccamoore4177]

[@HomemadeWanderlust]

Thank you so much!!

[@waltlongmire5832]

Totally relate to the waterfalls snob comment. My wife and I drove around Iceland this June. On the first day we stopped at every waterfall that came along, sometimes driving several kilometers down a gravel road and hiking. By the last day, we would barely look out the window of the car for anything less than 100 ft.

[@wesleykremer3916]

Let me preface this post by stating we have lost 3 of our parents in less that a year. There are two sayings that keep going on over and over in my head. 1. You don’t know what the day will bring, but you know Who brings the day. 2. We all have expirations dates and we don’t when it will be. Go on your adventures. Issues may be there when you get back. However returning to the issues with a ton of new experiences is way better then just issues. Aaron continues to be amazing matching the music to the scenery. One step at a time! Keep Hiking!

[@richardhanson1827]

What a stunning hike,the views...WOW...Thanks Dixie.😍😍

Dixie over the summer I got a job as a state park ranger after quitting my office job last year. I absolutely love it, I feel satisfied in a way I never have before, but I'm working my ass off and making way less and have way less vacation time. So even though I spent all day working in a state forest I'm getting out and hiking less. It's a fair trade off but I do miss it. In 2019 your journey on the PCT got me through a year long illness. Now in 2022 you're still helping to scratch my own wanderlust itch on much happier terms. Thank you for doing you and sharing it with us

[@WoodyJames]

Iceland, the land of a thousand waterfalls...but so many more! I've been twice, and did smaller hikes, but it's a beautiful place. Pictures don't do it justice. I can't wait to go back!

[@RufanaDenmark]

Every time you post a video I keep saying that this one surpasses the previous video, but this one is exceptionally stunning. You've really caught the colors, the contrasts and the power of Iceland. I went to Iceland about 15 years ago and there's something about the landscapes that makes you high.

[@ArswieWaende]

Like your thoughts show your heart, your pictures and music show the soul of the landscape. This veridicality makes both so moving for me.

[@davidminkle5838]

Awesome Thank You Dixie for taking us along. Looking forward to the next video stay safe and enjoy

Whatever you're going through I hope the Iceland trip is helping you navigate the bumps of life. Keep on going!

[@roxannegordon2854]

Kudos for showing the trail. So many videographers have their camera on themselves while TALKING about the trail, not showing the trail. That's a head scratcher to me. So thanks for showing the trail. Some section like the chain I will bypass. LOL

At about 13:00 in this video: *→WOW←* *EDIT:* I posted this while merely thinking the word _"WOW."_ But I just realized that could also be an abbreviation: *→Waterfall Over Waterfall←* 😉
