iceland - wow

[rh71]

first I've heard of this ring road... beautiful sights that all seem to be a must-see-in-person. Sounds like the perfect bucket list item...

Such a cool place.
Would love to go someday.

Nice video. But I may have to call shens, given that this is the first time I have ever seen anything even remotely resembling green in an Iceland video.

There is plenty of green. Its the moss that covers the lava fields.


What do you do when you are lost in an icelandic forest?


Stand up. 😱

There are more chicks like the one in the beginning that was pronouncing the words, I'm in.

 

[SpunkyJones]

Very nice, makes me want to put Iceland on my list of places to go.

I'll be honest this was my first thought too. She was mint.

 

[Cerpin Taxt]

I'll be honest this was my first thought too. She was mint.

There are a lot of hot women in Iceland, and apparently they are frequently very forward when they are interested in you.

When I lived up there I saw plenty. But most of the major towns are in relatively sparse areas.

If you do go make sure to visit the Blue Lagoon.

Too bad, their economy is in blitz.

 

[Doppel]

Also liked the woman. And the fact their economy could be better is a good thing, I know a guy who went there a couple years ago when their currency had tanked it was almost free!

Looks cold as sh*t you'd want to go at end of august I bet.

 

[masterxfob]

that was a great video, thanks!

 

[Schadenfroh]

Do not forget the wonderful food:

Putrefied shark meat. Sheep heads and testicles. Some of Iceland's traditional delicacies might challenge a few palates, but if you're looking for a little edible adventure, eating like a Viking just might be the way to go.

Yeah, summer looks like your best bet.

That chick at the beginning was smokin' hot. Oh, and ponies.

 

[Spoooon]

Great video. I know where I want to go for my next trip.

 

[iGas]

Look like a shitty place to visit.

In the middle of the summer and people still wear sweater and jackets. It is a windy place with no trees. The foods would taste like shit as well, because it is unlikely that they use herbs in their cuisine.

Common wisdon has it that Iceland is green and Greenland is icy...

Heh - she went away for a bit and for some reason so did my interest in the video 😛

Iceland is on our list but it's down there a bit so it'll probably be a while before we get there

 

[OVerLoRDI]

I would love to go there after watching that video. It looks like an amazing place

 

[waffleironhead]

Anyone planning on going there for the scenery aim for the summertime. 24 hours of sun is great.
This picture was taken at ~midnight.

If you are just planning on staying in Reykjavik sampling some of the local fare winter is best.

really? Iceland is lush and completely green.

Greenland is the place that's a big damn ice sheet.

true story.

 

[Locut0s]

Icelandic has got to be one of the hardest languages to pronounce. Sounds like a fucking nightmare to learn!
