EXPLORING ANOTHER PLANET ICELAND IN THE WINTER (RING ROAD)
good morning everyone it's day two here in iceland and today we're leaving the capital and we're gonna start our little road trip around that island so the plan today is that we're gonna head to a place down south called vic and we're staying there there and it's supposed to be some amazing waterfalls that we're gonna check out on the way the only problem is that since we're here in march in the winter a lot of roads are closed all the time because of bad weather so there's a site that you have to check every day and it shows you the roads that are closed and the roads that you can take and yeah normally it would only take us around two hours to get there but one of the main roads is closed you can't pass it so we've got to do like a huge detour that's going to add an extra hour so it's going to take about three hours i think to get to the first waterfall but yeah that's what we gotta do so we're just filling up our petrol for the first time it's a self one so i think he just passed here that's what she said right yeah so the price per liter 282 grona i think we're feeling like half a tank right yeah approximately okay so that customer is 3583 corona all right we have made it to the first stop how was all that driving today well half of it was just fine because at some places the road was just like normal with no ice but at other parts it was a bit scary it's slippy it's slippery yep yeah but we made it so this waterfall is called seljalandsposs i think that's how you pronounce it big name oh you have to pay yeah 700 700. so is this our first snowy waterfall ever yes it is i don't think we've ever been to one before right no no first time yeah it looks amazing yeah look how huge that is there's actually other little falls around here as well you can see like little yeah little falls going down the rocks but obviously this is the main one here well that really is awesome though so apparently it's uh 200 feet high so i think in the summer you can actually walk all the way around and behind it but yeah it's full of ice so you can't do that in the winter season wow other people up there isn't there another viewpoint i guess we can slime yeah yeah this pathway up to this fire pretty slippy super icy sleepy isn't it he's got this rope though oh now we don't yeah up here the water's sprinkling sprinkly water everywhere man it's even colder now yeah with all this icy cold water sprinkling definitely got some good views though so so it's kind of strange because today it's like kind of nice blue skies if you watch yesterday's video it was all like rainy and snowy but it feels way colder down here like my toes are frozen i think i need to put a two layers on so there's another little fall here right next to the main one back there and we're heading to one that's hidden down here let's see everyone going down this way all right so this uh secret spot is crazy check this out so there's a lot of spray once again but you just go through this tunnel here you gotta actually go through the ice cold water luckily we got a waterproof boots man this is nuts whoa look at this thing man look at all this breakout it's a shower gotta keep cleaning the lens wow look at this though how awesome is that like a shower yeah we get a ice cold shower here whoa the power though that is super powerful that's awesome right better than the other one just because it's so bizarre not many people coming in here look at this though the sound of this ice cold shower look at my face oh my now so they have this little shack there that serves food so me and carol got some much needed hot chocolate to warm up yeah and i also got a donut so all this was 1370 corona nice and warm now so we've now arrived at waterfall number two this was about a 25 minute drive from the the other waterfall so really close and this is also a really famous one called skogafoss so the drives around here are absolutely incredible it's just like these mountainous icy landscapes everywhere like that look at the size of that one man this one looks way crazier than the others that we saw look at the size of that thing it's like way wider as well carol that rainbow is crazy yeah wow i'm like having other goosebumps or something yeah so beautiful this is way better than the other one isn't it the first one because it's bigger and you can get closer to it as well yeah and there's the rainbow yeah and the rainbow looks even better now whoa i can't believe how clear the rainbow is like holy all right time to do the icy step climb that looks like about 300 steps it's good to warm up anyway yeah this is a long way up quite the view though all right i thought we'd be able to see it more from the front oh no i don't think we can no just the top wow yeah i shot the birds flying around yeah so here at the top you can walk on even further there's more of a trail look how cool that looks with the low sun so you can follow the river at the top of the waterfall and there is waterfall number two here yeah i don't even know there's another waterfall up here yeah i mean this trail just continues on and on i don't know where it goes it's not gonna do all that though so i guess this is the name of it i wonder how you say that character there estava not your spot so frost means a fall or waterfall so that's why you have that word on the end of a lot of the waterfall names so we just made a quick stop on the way to our next destination because we saw this cute little church here oh cute little chapel also got a little uh graveyard here but pretty much in the middle of nowhere nothing else around tiny little chapel oh there is one house over there i think it's kind of like that around here you just get these houses like alone like little farms and stuff wow look at this review there's also a house here as well some sort of building carol's the one that wanted to stop here yeah i think it's cute yeah it is cute see quite a few little chapels don't you like this like alone in the mountains yeah in random places all right let's head to the next stop before the sun goes down carol when you travel to iceland you don't go to another country you go to another planet yeah that's what we keep saying because everywhere we go here it's just like we are in mars or something yeah well some other planet yeah it's crazy yeah so this spot right now is called rainiest viara and it's a black sandy beach look at this we're not even on the beach yet but everywhere around here is just completely pitch black like volcano sand got the epic cliffs loads of birds flying around beautiful oh yeah i read in the reviews that you got to watch out from the waves here they can surprise you sneaky waves we've been to some black sandy beaches before in other countries but yeah it was never this dark well i can't get over it yeah so this beach is famous because of these columns here that were apparently formed by magma that's cooled down pretty interesting it's like little rectangles or big rectangles yeah what a bizarre formation so if you come a bit further down behind the columns there's this cave here like a black cave as well really weird isn't it the the kind of rock yeah this looks even more like magma yeah it does yeah that is bizarre got a close-up of it look at that almost looks a bit like a slate but yeah it's different wow it's like sharp yeah sure so here in iceland it's actually quite common i think to have black beaches we'll probably be seeing some other black beaches in some other videos this one's really cool though how you have the huge rocks coming out of the sea looks small on the gopro but yeah it is really big oh it's the next morning now we thought that we'd just show you quickly the place that we're staying before we close out this video so it's an extra miserable day today super cloudy and rainy so we're staying in this spot here uh rutafel guest house and it's actually a farm you can see all like the machinery and yeah the little farmhouse here did you know that we were staying in a farm no no no yeah i guess they just decided to make a guesthouse clever idea yeah but this weather today can't even see the mountains properly back there so today we were just having a rest day anyway to do some work we've just been working on the computers this morning and yeah just by look it fell on this day right here this bad weather day so yeah good coincidence yeah this place is like flooded from all the rain look at this looks like a stream or something i guess this is another little farmhouse carol booked was in the middle of nowhere it was one of the cheapest options around oh yeah i don't think i mentioned 68 dollars a night right yeah with a shared bathroom yeah so we're just heading this way to check out the icelandic uh horses so we were hoping that the horses would be closer when we drove past this place yesterday they were right here on the fence but yeah they're in the distance and i don't see any other of the horses around here we'll probably see them better on another day they have a really cool hairstyles kyle's getting the zoom shots anyway yeah trying to trying to yeah still pretty far though oh well come on guys we just walked in the rain for you can you come over here please guys so we weren't gonna include this place in this vlog today was like uh no filming day we just went out to have lunch near skogafoss and then we were looking on google maps and we saw there was a glacier nearby and we read that you could just come to it just to check it out so that's what we're doing right now it's about 40 minutes until the sun goes down and we've just come to some absolutely magical place got a little bit of the sunset back there and look at this place there i mean what the hell and that is the glacier back there so from the parking lot i think we've only walked like five minutes right uh yeah yeah about the five ten minutes and we have this this beautiful valley just amazing like every five minutes that you're driving in iceland you're in a different place yeah the scenery changes so quick so this just looks amazing because i guess that's usually like a lake it's frozen but you still have like these little bits there that are not frozen like bright blue yeah so you can see like the huge icebergs way bigger than the icebergs that we saw in uh patagonia you see a waterfall over there oh yeah coming down from the mountain wow to be honest i think this like cloudy rainy weather actually adds a better vibe yeah i would keep the the rain you just get the rain it's fine the rain is a bit boring like if you want to take pictures it's better it's a bit uh annoying because you have to keep cleaning the lens yeah all the time so if you're not a photographer it's okay but if you want to take pictures it's annoying but still like we are here we are in one of the most beautiful places in the in the planet let's check this out we're on the walkway here and there's like just water coming out of the ground or something so it's not even coming out of the ground it's like below just an opening the problem with rain yeah i need to keep cleaning the lenses wow that sunset worked way better than yesterday right we need to be on the beach now yeah so this is as far as we're gonna go today this seems to be like the end viewing deck so i think that's the name of uh this glacier here solheim i think they're showing that it's going back right oh yeah yeah there used to be more and it's melting 2006 wow look out look at the difference there that's some major melting yeah they can see full of ice here the valley here no ice at all i guess in the past it must have just been all through here now it's more of a lake with icebergs all right closing out this video officially now i'd already closed it out once since we were expecting to film anywhere so hopefully you thought all these places were amazing sure is for us and uh yeah there's a lot more to come here from iceland tomorrow we have another epic day planned and yeah that'll be the next video so yeah if you like this video just drop a like to support us as usual subscribe like see more videos like this one and we'll see in the next one you
