The Tectonic Plates, The Island Eldey and the Gunnuhver Hot Spring Ghost in Iceland

[@redmerlin777]

Thank you so much for your fascinating reports. I cannot praise you enough for educating me about Iceland. Sadly I am unable to travel for medical reasons but you have transported me to the places I have always wanted to visit. A big plus is that I have an excellent "personal" guide with so much knowledge taking me almost by the hand. Magic!

Very inspiring for me to hear this and I have a new tour online now :)

Now THIS is what I'm talking about. It is videos like this, giving us the deeper, more detailed history and geological information about a country my spouse & I have come to love. We love Iceland even more ,after the Reykjanes Peninsula system volcano erupted this past March. We've been to Iceland twice...both time in Winter. It was very, very cold but still I'd go again in Winter. It wasn't crowded at all & the people in places we visited, spent so much time with us. I do wish we had this kind of detailed information though. We didn't get to see so many places that look amazing. The people? Well...Everyone was so friendly even when we were terrible at pronouncing Icelandic words! I would NEVER order the "Stinky Shark" again, but the food otherwise was down-right delicious. Iceland has the BEST SAUSAGES and the best variety of sausage too. It even beats Germany. Just one suggestion though? Can you turn Closed-Captions on? Again, some Icelandic words look like they're spelled one way but pronounced so differently. It would really be a big help when WE WILL DEFINITELY GO BACK TO ICELAND...hopefully there will be a nice, Friendly Volcano around and NOT CoV. THANKS SO MUCH AGAIN. Your Videos cover more than any others do with so much good detail. In our minds, "Just Icelandic" is NUMBER☝🏼!

[@JustIcelandic]

Thank you :) you should try summertime around here or autumn, thats just fantastic like you see in my latest videos :) but it's just so much to see and the tourist version, as often presented, is just very poor for my taste...and I will think about this subtitle issue, me to blame :) and welcome back to Iceland :)

[@forthedisenfranchised4366]

Fascinating, dare you guess where the next big Icelandic city will be, if Reykjavik were reduced in size and outlook? Is your home city viable or would the capital need to be in the south? Can any of the coastal waters near Reykjavik be reclaimed (Dutch style) to give it further land and a buffer from the lava? Am I the only one who longs for a period where the seas retreat and expose long lost lands all around the globe.

Poor birds. Humans need to learn not to harm anything. They have enough brain power to make food without hurting or killing ANYTHING. It's hard to believe that humans would be so selfish that actual living animals would be wiped out by our eating and selfish habits.
