Following an Ancient Lava Flow Across Iceland - Third Day of Filming @JustIcelandic

Uploaded August 2026 | Updated September 2026, 44 minutes ago

This is a part of a long journey of lava that flowed from the central highlands of Iceland and then of got overlapped by lava from the craters in the final scene, and the journey took on many forms until it ended up as "Aðaldalshraun lava field" by Húsavík village. This was supposed to be a simple task, but along this long path there are many geological formations, and the weirder they get, the more fun it is to include them. So this was my third full day of filming for this project alone. My Landcruiser was struggling with this task on summer tires that have seen better days, and better roads, so I decided to abort the mission a few km. from my destination. It was way too windy anyway to fly out to Ketildyngja volcano, which was the task, since hiking out there is not simple or easy. I do, however, have enough footage to make a decent video coverage, and it will be online shortly after my 2026 summer and autumn tours come to an end.

$Epic Pilot Whale Rescue - Heartwarming Action Story From Iceland I happened to be there right from the start and the plan was to film for my towns series and shoot a few aerial photographs so whales were not on my schedule, but what a unique chance i got so used it to the fullest of course. I captured the before, during and after footage i needed for a longer video because some of the footage is quite good, but the reason for the beaching still remains a certain mystery. I was replacing the drone battery when the first group beached, and the others followed soon thereafter. That is where the video opens where the local policeman is likely calling for assistance that arrived soon. After the beaching drone overview shots where i actually captured the next group strand, i took the Nikon with my zoom lens down to the coast where i filmed for a while, and i shot lots of fast exposure shots as well. So this is only a tiny fraction of what i shot this day, but it gives you honest glimpse into the mentality thar ruled the actions this day, and i dont have to say it, but i already have my favourite rescue worker there, and she did a fantastic job, like they all actually because the sea is cold there and this wasnt easy. Lots of this footage is available on Shutterstock & Pond5 sites trough the links below.
