-
a lot of Iceland just doesn't seem riel.
-
This surreal, drastic like place that you only really saw in movies you should go to waste because you're on a volcanic island.
-
Things are forming.
-
Things are changing.
-
I am a geologist.
-
I've been guiding.
-
I stand mostly Glacier hikes, uh, mountaineering driving.
-
Guiding for the past four years.
-
I am a drone pilot and photographer from New York.
-
I have been to Iceland nine times in the last three years.
-
The weather.
-
You have warmer days and longer times to see things.
-
The summer solstice is mid June, and that's when the sun will go down, kiss the horizon and come back up.
-
So you have 24 hours of daylight, just that sunlight in the evening.
-
There's like, very hard to describe it.
-
It's like the Twilight Zone that comes right before.
-
Like when the sun sets just stays like that for, like, eight hours.
-
You even when it's raining.
-
It's just such a happy time.
-
People are just like a life more.
-
Yeah, if you want to do good old fashioned tent camping, then I would say Bring it.
-
I brought my own camping here.
-
Bring your stuff things are expensive over here.
-
Believe me, I would bring a warmer than normal tent and sleeping bags.
-
The Islamic summer is a lot colder than most other places, so expect to be the hot and cold.
-
You could be in midsummer, but it drops down to zero almost and snows in July.
-
The camp sites are also very inexpensive.
-
I think there was $20 per night per vehicle, not per person back.
-
Gil is really interesting because it offers mawr of those Jurassic like scenes.
-
They've got showers, indoor toilets, areas for grilling in the summertime.
-
I go hiking and never bring a bottle with me.
-
E.
-
There's no kind of proud with that that you can almost go to any stream and drink water like no problem now.
-
I wouldn't drink water from a lake just because sitting water attends toe have its own issues.
-
But all the rivers in Iceland produce clean drinking water, so rent a car.
-
It's super easy.
-
You get into the airport and there's already those big brand rental companies that you would know from anywhere over the world.
-
But in Iceland they have very particular weather conditions that change really fast, so if you go off with road, it can be very treacherous and there's not a lot of people on the road to see you.
