The Reykjavik Ski Resort Is Actually Situated on a Volcano by the Plate Boundaries

[@petramaas8574]

Where else would you have a ski resort in Iceland, where, I guess, every mountain is volcanic in origin. Lovely pictures again, thank you.

[@chrismerson3581]

Thank you for keeping people outside Iceland informed with your great pictures and interesting dialogues.

[@dagmarkunzel5406]

I don't like winter and snow, but here, from the warm room, I think your video is beautiful. Thanks for that. I wish everyone watching a pleasant Sunday.

[@adelaferreira4575]

Same to you !

[@annabee1984]

Stunning footage, Gylfi! 😊

[@stephanieparker1250]

I love the snow so much, this was lovely to watch. Beautiful. Amazing country. 💜💜

[@Now4wheels]

That snow scenery so lovely and so cool looking but underneath a different story. Fire and Ice. Fascinating to see the craters and lakes from the air. Great footage. Thanks.

[@JustIcelandic]

Thanks and welcome :)

[@TravelingLight777]

Fantastic aerial videography! Just magical seeing the lunar-like craters and wintry landscape. What a fascinating country Iceland 🇮🇸 is!

[@nbk9372]

Iceland has enough craters to use as sports arenas (non-active craters), there were 3 neatly lined up to use, #1 for football, #2 roller rink, and # rolling mud derbies. TY Gylfi for the scenic drone video, keep the good work.

[@toady..9833]

that looks unreal , said it before but the snow 100% makes it so much easier to see the terrain with the shadows 👌

[@FionaFairlie]

Thanks again for another spectacular video. The incidental music is perfect for the grandeur of the landscape. ❤

[@JustIcelandic]

Many thanks!

[@peter8605]

Great relaxing views, skiing on a volcano that's something different

[@leswoodburn5764]

Try Niseko Japan that is different. Google it. Best snow and great people.

[@susannap.8834]

Look at Etna volcano in Italy! Skiing on an ACTIVE volcano there!

[@adelaferreira4575]

Thank you ! this is just stunning ,what a magical place Iceland is !

[@leandabee]

Just stunning 😍 👌

[@GrumpyMeow-Meow]

Wow. Just wow.

[@guitarmark40]

What a view. It is absolutely beautiful.

[@michaelsimmons261]

One thing I love about this channel... Its like having a friend in Iceland 😊

[@yomogami4561]

gorgeous video and scenary gylfi thanks

[@alanharney5278]

Your country is very beautiful. I visited once a few years ago and had a wonderful time. I have to ask - your avatar picture - is that Sleipnir?? 😁 Thanks for the video.

[@charleswebster2550]

Gylfi, Sir.....This scenery and music is just what I needed for a break in my work today. The music feels like the crisp dry snow and icicles. I can feel it. Thank you sir for your breathtaking artistry.❤ PS: I hope your recovery is progressing well.🙏

[@AthenaSchroedinger]

I truly enjoyed yet another video, from you, about Iceland, an amazing country

[@corrinneloudon525]

Wow, Gilfi, what amazing footage! Thank you!

[@JustIcelandic]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@inquisitiveWA]

Iceland is stunning. It's definitely on my bucket list. Beautiful photography as usual.

[@JustIcelandic]

Welcome to Iceland :)

[@VonL1963]

So beautiful Gylfi, thank you ❤

[@nickylambert5462]

Stunning views ❤

[@Frida3728]

Thank you for showing us more of Iceland. You have a beautiful country to visit and explore

[@ericfielding2540]

Beautiful views! How long do they usually have enough snow to ski in a year?

[@vieczurable]

Ski resort on the Moon.

[@gwynnfarrell1856]

No trees to bump into!

[@SweetOne.]

Beautiful footage, you have a very special talent in capturing the wonders of Iceland. Thank you! I hope you are feel better. 🙏

[@combiner008]

I'm convinced! I'm 64 years old and have never snow skied in my life, but this video has convinced me to put this place high on my bucket list. Thank you, Gylfi!

[@JustIcelandic]

Go for it! And welcome to Iceland 🇮🇸

[@Mieke..]

Beautiful! ❄ thank you ! 💙✨

[@JustIcelandic]

Thank you too!

[@kitebarbie]

STUNNING… absolutely breathtaking footage. Thank you for sharing. 😊

[@RenaLarson61]

Iceland is so incredibly beautiful, a true land of fire and ice, I love your videos. One day I hope to see it for myself

[@Andy-t2q5i]

petition to build at least one slope + lift inside the crater

[@JustIcelandic]

It would be a good marketing gig for sure....

[@onetuliptree]

Thank you for including the drone location, I enjoy exploring the map after seeing the video.

[@sallyhay3369]

So beautiful - and you have such a skill for capturing footage when the light is just right! Thank you, Gylfi ☺

[@JustIcelandic]

Thank you so much!

[@b.a.erlebacher1139]

More of your strange and beautiful landscape. Thanks!

[@jujuvtx]

Again your footage makes me catch my breath at the beauty of your country. Your country is there because of volcanic and techtonic movement due to its earth location. The destruction of volcano activity is the birth of new land. The reality of an end becoming a new beginning. You see the beautiful and have recorded it.

[@geraldhenrickson7472]

Magnificent landscape. I am jealous. Thanks

[@JustIcelandic]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@jahl5130]

Yet another great video Gylfi. Thank you for sharing.. bless

[@JustIcelandic]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@charmionthorne7294]

Oh Gylfi, as usual world class videography and soundtrack. 5 stars

[@johnmeneses7039]

Thanks Gylfi and best wishes and greetings from NZ.

[@quietone748]

Amazing, as always. Takk fyrir!

[@JustIcelandic]

Always welcome :)

[@ChristophersMum]

Thank you Gylfi...it seems so surreal to be skiing 🎿 on a volcano...beautiful...😃🌠

[@gravityf9174]

Toujours de très belles images.

[@ganleytony9878]

Fantastic and the music too thanks

[@Johnpatrickw]

That was so calming to watch! ❤ Iceland

[@ronjaj.addams-ramstedt1023]

Beautiful ❤️ Thank you for all your hard work

[@JustIcelandic]

My pleasure 😊

[@toady..9833]

and you should be in for some decent aurora light shows for the next couple of nights

[@johnbradshaw7525]

Beautiful video Gylfi.

[@JustIcelandic]

Many thanks!

[@adamzimmerman6660]

The landscape is so white and smooth that it looks like the tops of clouds that you would be flying over.

[@salagadoo8119]

Aww I was there last year what a cool island!!

[@JustIcelandic]

Welcome back :)

[@mtcynthus]

So beautiful!

[@clarathain903]

Awsome video Thank you

[@darrylstaflund3431]

I live in Canada and have never been off the continent. But I feel strangely at home watching these videos -- it must be my grandmother's Icelandic heritage calling out to me.

[@andrewhotston983]

Looks like the surface of the moon!

[@JustIcelandic]

You got that right :)

[@mayhewfisher62]

Such a stunning country! For some reason, the stark beauty reminds me of our U.S. Southwest, albeit with more snow, cold, volcanoes, etc. lol

[@Thunderb3Martin]

That is so beautiful. We haven't had much snow this year in Czech Republic so this is nice to see. You mentionet the crater, is there any chance the lava will fill the chamber with so much going on under Reykjanes peninsula these last few years? Thank you for your amazing videos. Martin

[@Aveatquevale-w6m]

Stunning,thank you🙏

[@JustIcelandic]

Many thanks!

[@dianem2071]

Beautiful as usual! In addition to a downhill ski area it seems like there are cross country skiing trails as well. Is that the case? - Edit: Silly me, you had a link to the area! Yes it also has cross country trails!

[@cya2163]

After all the footage you've been kind enough to take and share w/the rest of the world...I'm going to call that the Noskiforme Mountain...I prefer my hills w/a little less boom, and a lot more zoom...lol. Take care and God bless...

[@katesommerville7217]

Just beautiful ❤

[@JustIcelandic]

Thank you! 😊

[@tegirvaru]

in canada, our ski hills are covered in trees, but this looks so beautiful, pristine, and clear :O

[@maryeastman2647]

Nice music with nice video

[@JustIcelandic]

Thanks

[@valeriabr7343]

Absolutamente lindo!

[@Celeste-in-Oz]

Lovely ☺️

[@JustIcelandic]

Thank you! 😊

[@JustIcelandic]

Welcome

[@edwardlulofs444]

It’s safe to say that all elevation differences are on current or past tectonic activity. It’s called “relief” because flat terrain is sometimes found to be boring. I find a plain gives me no sense of space. It’s a lonely void.

[@markusmencke8059]

Very nice. Are those loop structures at around the 1 min mark for nordic skiing? Greetings from the Austrian Alps. 👋

[@bondisteve3617]

Yay! Thanks.

[@JustIcelandic]

Welcome!

[@keithb7981]

Mammoth Mountain, CA, USA, with MMSA, is still listed as an active volcano with 3 main vents...

[@Stephen-zq2wf]

IceLand > Like No Other Place on this Earth

[@JustIcelandic]

Thats right :)

[@palantir135]

Good evening Gylfi, Beautiful drone footage, as usual. Skiing…no, not for me. I’m a flatlander (dutch) and I do love mountains but only in summer.

[@marienevens885]

So beatifull thank you so much for sharing this whit us 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤❤

[@JustIcelandic]

My pleasure 😊

[@salilsahani2721]

:) Thank you :)

[@JustIcelandic]

You're welcome 😊

[@DrewNorthup]

You know your art well.

[@RWBHere]

Thanks Gylfi. Is it reasonable to assume that every hill in Iceland is volcanic in origin, rather than purely tectonic?

[@ratnasurin]

Beautiful for Skiing 🎿 25 Maret 2024 Tanty Melbourne. 🍁❤️

[@Iz0pen]

I soo want to go back to Iceland for a forth visit but I should probably go somewhere new. Ugh

[@JustIcelandic]

Welcome to Iceland 🇮🇸

[@cyclonasaurusrex1525]

In the US, we’re taught about volcanos as part of a curriculum-just as we’re taught about the moon and the bottom of the ocean. Fascinating and essential to a complete education but remote from our lived experiences. Does Iceland’s volcanic activity affect its pedagogy?

[@adamzimmerman6660]

Hello Askja !

[@JustIcelandic]

Update soon - But here is my full Askja video since last year. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pnrIZpaXbqmEotk

[@adamzimmerman6660]

Geology hub put out a new Askja video...

[@xoxo2008oxox]

New meaning to "skiing the back bowl"...

[@hildegardstary9965]

😍👍🤗

[@LestWeForget-LestWeForget]

I imagine that the crater isn't rumbling under the surface at present, because of the amount of snow inside it.

[@KatlaJokulsdottir]

Katla has 400-700m ice in her caldera, but that doesn't prevent her from going off every now and then... there is however the hypothesis that global warming could trigger a period of enhanced volcanism in Icelandic volcanoes that now have a glacier on them: The melting of the glaciers could reduce the pressure and make it easier for the magma to come out! Of course, at some stage thins would return to equilibrium.

[@YoLo-bb2vc]

it be one hell of a day if the sky resort was open and the damned volcano decided it was its time to shine lol

[@sciangear4782]

This happened in New Zealand; Ruapehu went up in September/October '95, and again in June/July '96 (NZ winter is June/July/August). No-one was hurt, as the volcano is closely monitored, just as the Icelandic volcanoes are

[@jeremy1350]

Hello. How many "Tidy Bowl" people have there been that found themselves inside the bowl ?? And how long did it take rescuers to airlift them out of it ?? You know someone had to ask that stupid question, right ??

[@o.aldenproductions.9858]

Fallegt 💕

[@areareare9953]

We are so going to do this on the moon once we settle there.....

[@alienallen2983]

👍🙏>>>💚~~~ ICELAND IS SO BEAUTIFUL THANK YOU

[@JustIcelandic]

We agree!

[@janegreen9340]

Other worldly

[@General_Confusion]

Well it's as good a use for a redundant volcano as any other. It's a pity they chopped down all the trees just for a ski slope though.

[@harlycorner]

Why is nobody skiing?

[@JustIcelandic]

Only open during weekends

[@harlycorner]

@@JustIcelandic Oh, I see. Thank you 😊 I think I must return to Iceland one day...

[@dogsbody77]

IJust can’t visualise the size of anything, nothing to judge it against.

[@freedomforever6718]

Beautiful pictures that prove there is no climate emergency.

[@skrame01]

Looks pretty icy.

[@northernravensnests7367]

One year ago today I was flying Icelandair to an excursion that would take us 18 days around the expanse of Iceland. It did not disappoint. Trip of a lifetime! 🖤🩵 lovely to find this..thank you for your contributions.
