Stunning Stunning drone footage and each time I see your videos I feel like I'm home..thankyou ..much love from Australia...correct you are the best Icelandic vlogger.

[@JustIcelandic]

Thank you very much :) don't know if I've earned that but for sure trying to be :)

[@lindabescript999]

As always, interesting and informative. I'm also loving the drone footage on your channel.

[@JustIcelandic]

Much appreciated!

[@steelydan473]

That's my peak viewing for this Saturday night sorted. Great video as always with fantastic drone shots; AND...of course those little cheeky short comedy-clips which are very much your trade-mark and usually make me laugh-out-loud. It's bizzar how much I'm learning about Iceland at this late stage of my life. Thanks for uploading, and all the best to you.

[@JustIcelandic]

Thanks. lot :)

I spent a few months on Hofsa' a medium size farm in Svafathardallur and have many fond memories. Sheep cows horses and chickens. Cutting hay and hauling into the barn. Country dances are better than discos any day. The farm I stayed with had a beautiful waterfall behind it and an old 1931 farmhouse built of concrete, it was perfect setting for a movie about the depression years in Iceland. Any comments on this movie or another movie called The Raven Flies would be much appreciated

[@JustIcelandic]

Thanks for sharing, and you would love this one, shot in Svarfaðadalur, should try to find it..www.imdb.com/title/tt0203639/

[@loladavinci1243]

I love your videos, your sense of humor and your candor. Thank you for inviting us on this fascinating journey through your beautiful country!

[@JustIcelandic]

Thank you so much!

[@kathleenschaubhut4174]

Very nice video containing information about your beautiful Iceland. Also, love the old film clips you include.

[@JustIcelandic]

Many thanks!

[@jerrys4841]

I loved the story you told. The drone footage is incredible, too. Please don't entirely give up on the drive around angle. I love driving in the car seeing Iceland from that perspective, especially when you fast forward the drive, that makes exciting video.

[@alfrede.newman6626]

.... same here.... 👍

[@JustIcelandic]

Thank you! Will do!

[@tmsoens]

The Java VM in the early versions of Android (till version 4.4) was called Dalvik. Apparently some of the developer ancestors lived there.

[@JustIcelandic]

Thanks for the tip :) appreciated

[@Sfinxinn]

I love this series about Icelandic cities, thank you for all the time and care you put into it.

[@JustIcelandic]

My pleasure! more soon :)

Wonderful!!!! . . . How do you say that in Icelandic??

Æðislegt :)

@@JustIcelandic I'm almost sorry I asked!! BUT, I'll try to learn how it is pronounced.

[@TorToroPorco]

The mountainous landscape is so beautiful. Your videos are such a great advertisement for visiting Iceland.

[@JustIcelandic]

Glad you think so!

[@koljak9395]

I love these background stories about places I've only passed through (in this case, to catch the ferry to Grimsey). I've always lived in big cities, so it's really fascinating to me how you can trace the beginnings to the first settlers in the area, the first house still standing.

[@JustIcelandic]

Thank you, just uploaded a new one from a nearby island :) Hrísey and sorry for late reply, and thanks for visiting :)

[@transam7091]

Another fine view to a town we visited several times during the last 40 years, watching it growing. Thank you for all the information you never get, when just driving by or taking a walk. And now we know, that we have been close to you, when we were building our tent on the camping-side in Akureyri or enjoying the fabulous pool. Have a nice and healthy future and many spectacular drone-flights over your home-country. And by the way, I even understood the last words of the poem and enjoyed it very much.

[@JustIcelandic]

Thank you so much and it's way more to come, I made similar vids when I started with the channel but only with subs and I'm replacing them all now, and I have a new Akureyri vid in the making now, think you will like it :)

[@schoolingdiana9086]

I’d go check out a place called “Troll Peninsula,” but I’m definitely not your average tourist, either. Beautiful scenery! Love it! 😍😍😍

[@JustIcelandic]

Thanks a lot :)

Excellent. I had the pleasure of visiting Dalvik a few years ago, the same time as the first iceberg in Eyjafjordur for over twenty years. It caused quite a stir. (The iceberg). Thanks for your beautiful videos.

[@JustIcelandic]

I remember, they don't come that often no more :) and thanks

Halló, ég er hálf íslenskur og afi minn var sjómaður. Þegar ég var ungur sagði hann mér margar sögur og sérstaklega um að taka sumarið til að veiða á Dalvík. Þakka þér fyrir öll myndböndin þín! Gledileg Jol

[@JustIcelandic]

Takk fyrir og gaman að heyra :) njóttu vel og takk fyrir komuna :)

[@realanthonyrich]

Another amazing episode!!! Thank you! Bara frábært og skemmtilegt. Takk fyrir :) This summer (2021) I drove from Mývatn to Kópavogur in one day with few stops. We both were so happy that we decided to keep North and not N1 towards capital region. Unfortunately didn't camp at Dalvík but we saw sooo much... Thank you for filling those missing gaps.

[@JustIcelandic]

Thanks a lot :) and welcome

[@quietone748]

Such a beautifully done video and I enjoyed the lyrics at the end. Lovely. Thank you.

[@JustIcelandic]

Thanks, hope you liked it there :)

The choral singing is very much like that of our Welsh choirs here in the valleys of Wales

[@peter8605]

Yes, thanks a lot Gylfi for, again, a fantastic video. can’t wait to visit the north from my all time favourite land Iceland. The troll and the pot does it not come from the Westfjords ?😊 I think i saw it once over there on a look out at a ravine......maybe. Waiting for the next video. Would you ever like, maybe, to make a video about abandoned places, really love that🤪

[@JustIcelandic]

In fact, I'm into this "abandoned" niche when it comes to my own KZbin usage :) and I made this video few yrs back when I was starting my own channel. But I would have done it better today :) but yes, it's something that fascinates me in a way so I'm sure if I find the right places with the right mood, I might go into that niche, and thanks for visiting :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/bWSzpYComb-HY5o

Fascinating! Interested in seeing more introductions to different towns. Loved my trip there in 2001, bur it was too short.

[@JustIcelandic]

Thanks, then you just have to visit us again :) and welcome to Iceland :)

Yes the fish soup 🍲 differs a lot but usually very 👍 you should try it

[@teaglass3750]

@@JustIcelandic I would love to! :) Except I don't have any way of having it here :'(

[@forthedisenfranchised4366]

Fascinating history with that big quake. Given the possibility for a magnitude 7, in what must be shallow coastal areas, is there any danger tsunami and is there any history of such in and around Icelandic waters (I guess there are too many other risks to worry about such a thing, but with growing population and industry I wondered whether any resources are dedicated to such research/preparedness? UK was once hit by a massive tsunami from Norway, and rumours of one long ago from the mid Atlantic (I guess it might even have been Iceland for all we know).

[@JustIcelandic]

You went straight into the core of the video I'm brewing up these days :) or the tsunami risk. There are ancient stories of such around there, seamen drowned on Skjálfandi-bay during the 18th century, after an earthquake. but it's just a thing I'm working on trough lots and lots of browsing..., but not a single króna has been invested in tsunami research here in Iceland, ever....so I want to prepare that video especially well....

Great video, I have fished with rod and line from what we called "the salt bags" in the harbour of Dalvik. It looks like the salt bags have gone, are there still fish in the harbour? In case I come back to fish with my son? Thank you! Mark

Hello, I really enjoy your videos, was wondering if you could be interested in starting another channel, I was a young lad when I lived in Keflavik. Our icelandic teacher would read fables to us. Not sure where they came from. The one that has stayed with me all these years, well there was a boy who was gifted a sword that would re attach limbs lost in battle. I can't remember more then then that now. Back to the question, could please perhaps read a couple of those old fables? Even if just for posterity.

[@JustIcelandic]

It's a good idea but I'm afraid it's out of my reach since just this channel is still far from giving me fair return for the work I'm putting into it, but it's a long time goal so I remain hopeful, and thanks for the suggestion :) appreciated...
