I love your content Shaun, and I know you love Iceland and your focus is there , but could you give your expert opinion on what is happening in Campi Flegrei at the moment, even if its a brief discussion. There is not alot of expert coverage of that , and it seems like it is quite a concern at the moment.
Oooooh, you really make me so happy! Gylfi, thanks for showing up! Shawn, thanks for giving us the chance to learn something about the human behind Just Icelandic!
I’ve been following Gylfi for a long time. So nice to see the person behind the great voice❣️
It should have ended with Gylfi saying....
"And with that, I'm sending you best regards from the volcano island.... Iceland!"
😁
Wow, Gylfi you are one under sung, compassionate, intelligent, wise genius that loves his country. Fantastic to see you in person. Brilliant interview technique Shawn - you let his light shine, that's a talent itself. Thank you both, superb, and you must both be knackered and it's about to all kick off again. Thank you.
A pleasure and a privilege to watch Gylfi and Shawn chatting and clearly enjoying each others company. Thanks both! 😊
We are glad you too legends have caught up!! Thank you both to bringing the plight of Iceland and the geological impacts that are a regular occurrence to Icelanders. Hope you enjoy your stay in Iceland Shawn and enjoy the Artic ambiance of this most wonderful place. 👍😇🙏🇮🇸
Great to put a face to a voice I have been listening to for so long, nice to meet you Gylfi.
The only two information sources worth watching on YT regarding Iceland. 👍😎
Gylfi has such a great voice, and it was great to listen to him talk about how he came to creating for his channel "Just Icelandic".
Thanks for introducing us to an Icelandic superstar, videographer Gylfi. How cool you two superstars met up!
A pleasure to meet you Gylfi. Thank you both for all the information and insights you have provided.
I so enjoyed your interview with Gylfi. It’s so nice to put a face to the voice I have been listening to for three years. I watch all his videos and share them often.
Thank you both for sharing your insights, thoughts and experiences.
Thank you Shawn. I’ve been watching you for two years now. I think other than field work I’m almost a graduate!! Lol
Very pleased to meet you Gylfi. Your sense of humour and common sense approach is very much appreciated. 😊
👍👏👏👏❤
Nice one guys, lovely to see Gylfi properly after all these volcanic years! I think he has a job for life now! 💯🙏
Thank you Shawn and Gylfi @justicelandic Gylfi has such a wonderful cinematic eye. Looking forward to his Icelandic documentaries!
This is a great confirmation that I am following the best youtube channels on Iceland.
Great interview, thanks for taking a moment to go meet Gylfi and put together this video. 🤗🥰
the man behind the channel, man, myth, legend, Gylfi
I always watch Gylfi's videos. I like his Icelandic point of view. He does great work and I wish him the best. Shawn thanks for having him, it's great to have a face for the voice.
Close your eyes and enjoy these two voices. 😉 I’m really happy about this great interview. Thank you very much Shawn for the opportunity to go behind the scenes.
Just Icelandic! Tusen takk, Gylfi.
Just an awesome discussion, and collaboration between two of my favorite content creators. Why we navigate toward these two content creators, is because we want factual information without the distorted word salad spewed by today's media outlets. I have not watched any MSM outlets in 7 years, they just don't do investigative journalism anymore, and the dishonesty or biases is just nauseating. Great Job Gylfi & Shawn, stay factual, and the viewers will flock to your contents & eventually your subs will be through the roof. TY for all the great contents you create. I'm in my lat 60s, retired mil/leo analyst, but still eager to learn new things. Stay safe, and may God's grace shine upon you all!
Yes! Brilliant! Another great interview, thank you Shawn, you're good at this! And takk fyrir, Gylfi! What a pleasure to finally see you!☺You are both knowledgeable, genuine and passionate and I very much enjoyed your conversation 🤗
Great to see these two men finally meet up. Both share most interesting & educational CZcams content. Thanks Shawn for making this possible 🫶🏻
So nice, great fan of Gylfi and his videos. There are so many beautiful and interesting features in Iceland, much more than just the Blue Lagoon 😉.
Thanks for another great interview/chat. Good to "meet" the anonymous person behind the great YT JustIcelandic videos.
How great to see you two sitting & talking together & to learn more about you, Gylfi - thank you!
Thank you Shawn and Gylfi for the interview. Enjoyed watching it very much. How interesting to learn about you Gylfi. I have been a follower of yours for the last 3 yrs. Again thank you Shawn for doing this interview. Hope you are really enjoying your time in Iceland.
One ray of sunshine meets another to share the love of a beautiful land. Fantastic. Open my eyes some more. I'm all in. ❤✌️👍
I’m so glad to meet you Gylfi. I’ve been so impressed with your stream. You are the one I wait for to really know what is going on!!
Exactly your personality adds so much to your videos!!
Thank you Shawn and Gylfi for sharing this with us. Very enjoyable.
It is good to see you both. I told Gylfi on his channel that I think his videography for historical archiving is a great idea. Watching your Collab, and his discussion brought "Life in a Northern Town" and other such songs to mind.
Hi Gylfi and Shawn. I always look forward to both of your videos and it is wonderful to see you collaborating! Best wishes from Australia 🦘
A big thank you to both of you. Was a great pleasure to hear and learn from you as usual. Looking forwards to some more collabs in the future. Keep going guys!
This is an absolutely fascinating conversation, thank you so much Shawn and Gylfi 😸
Seeing Gylfi with Shawn put a big smile on my face. It's been very informative to get such different perspectives on geology from their channels. Keep up the good work guys! Agree with other commenters that this is great CZcams content.
Loved this! I had a smile on my face for 46 minutes.
And I'm still smiling😅😁❤
Thanks guys, was a refreshing change from the overtly monitising channels to see/hear 2 folk simply chat about a shared interest but bet it required more planning and prep from both of you to make it happen!
Glad you enjoyed it!
What a wonderful interview! The two best educators on Icelandic geology! ❤❤❤❤❤
This discussion is great!! I've been following both of you for different reasons and to see your connection in this collab, it's very cool! I've been following professor Willsey because of my interest in geology of the western US, where I reside. I started following Gylfi at the end of last year due to his unbiased assessment of the current volcanic activity, because my wife and I have been planning a trip to Iceland for several years and, rightly so, had concerns. Now, after watching this interview, now would like to incorporate the lesser known features of your country into our trip. Thanks for this!!
Together (yay!) or separately, your magic is the interaction with us. Thanks for this.
Awesome discussion with Gylfi, really looking forward to seeing all those projects he has in mind. Thank you Shawn for helping to bring awareness to Iceland and the geology there, and thanks to Gylfi for all his great photography and showing how beautiful Iceland is but also how the geology shapes it and it's people.
Both my favorite reporters on the development in Iceland in one video, and Gylfi in person, too. Thank you both for your dedicated work!

What a joy to listen to the both of you AND finally see the person behind all the great footage from beautiful Iceland.
Loved the interview with Gylfi. It is always great to attach a name to Just Icelandic. I am so happy you two are collaborating together. You two make a great team and both great videoographers. Can't wait to see what you both come up with for our viewing pleasure. The best part of visiting another country is visiting the small out of the way towns and villages. Everyone can go see the standard sightseeing places, it takes creative people to go off the beaten path. 👍💙
Good to see you two. Thank you for taking the time to chat. I did the tourist thing the first time to Iceland but when I return…lots of ideas. I definitely want to visit the North. In the meantime, Gylfi’s videos take me to amazing landscapes ❤. Thank you Shawn for the interview.
Thanks so much - great interview! It was wonderful to see and hear Gylfi, and Shawn is a good interviewer - you sit back and let the interviewee actually talk.
Gylfi, Shawn... Thank you both, gentlemen, for your fascinating conversation and your on-line videos. They are much enjoyed by this retired geography teacher!
Multi thumbs up to both Shawn and Gylfi!
Such an interesting video and great to learn more about you Gylfi. Thanks to both of you for your valuable content
This is very special to me, as well. I live only a few hundred miles from Shawn and I have a hope of dropping by at Twin Falls, ID sooner than later to say "hi." But Gylfi does show himself more than 4 years ago in some videos, yet I'm so happy to see him today, too. I have a sense of love from a distance for Gylfi. He's a real gem. So this is just good stuff for me. Best wishes to both Shawn and Gylfi!
Agree! ❤️
❤❤❤
I’ve been following you both since December when we were all watching with baited 24:08
It’s wonderful to see you both together and to be able to put a face to Gylfi’s voice.
I’m excited that you are both colleagues rather than competitors. You each bring a unique aspect of the volcanic activity to your viewers.
Dry humour - definitely the Just Icelandic dry humour!
What a pity I can like this only once….. so nice to see you both! Thanks both of you for your work and i formation. 💕
Oh that was great… a face for Gilfi and such a good interview thank you Shawn that was great I hope for more geo collabs I really enjoy these thank you 🙏
I’ve been waiting for this, since it was first mentioned ❤..fabulous thank you Shawn and Glyfi a very human and informative video.
Hello Shawn,greetings from North Germany .
I am so happy that you both met .Thank you❤
Love Gylfi's wonderful videography. And Shawn's knowledge and insight.
I was always curious about the person behind the amazing videos and warmly engaging voice of Just Icelandic. It's great that you two got together at last, and what a fascinating story! Thanks so much for sharing it.
Grateful for the generosity of you two. Nice to see you both.
Thanks so much for the interview video. So interesting! So appreciated! I heard Gylifi talking about this interview and I was looking forward to seeing it.
Thanks again! 😃
Thanks Shawn. Great video. Thanks Gylfi and I hope you get that film done. Sounds really interesting.
It is really nice to be able to put a face to the friendly voice of Gylfi that I have been listening to! Thank you for the work both of you do, I have always had a casual interest in geology, rocks, and mountains, volcanos. When I travel and see mountains I always want to know how they came to be and find out what types of rocks they are made of. Both of your channels bring much needed geology content to CZcams where it is easy for people with a casual interest like myself to learn. Gylfi has given me a much greater understanding and appreciation of Iceland. I am sorry to say the closest I have been to visiting Iceland is making a connection on a flight to the UK, but even what I could see from the airplane window was so interesting, and Gylfi has helped me learn so much more about Iceland.
.. like meeting up with old friends. Thank you so much x
Nice to see you guys together 💪
Yay! Awesome to see you guys together and to see Gylfi at last! You both produce amazing content.
I wanted to give this at least 2 likes! I enjoy both your channels immensely. Thank you both very much.
We visited Iceland during November 2012. Akureyri was our favourite place. It is so beautiful. There was an outside hot tub surrounded by snow. Freshwater trout on the menu that was so clean. We bought some bread that was baked under the hot ground. Such respect for the Icelanders and their determination to make do whatever the circumstances.
It's great to see you guys chatting about all things Iceland...sending lots of love and support from Edinburgh, Scotland...🤩
I could listen to you all day long, fantastic to see you together, love you guys and what you both do to give us great information and knowledge in a very personable way.
Two great men who care. Love you both thanks wendu albany western Australia
so nice to see (as well as hear) Gylfi & love his focus on showing real daily life here in Iceland, as well as asking the tough questions! greetings from the Westfjords.
Great interview guys. Good to meet Gylfi and get him in the same room as Shawn. Thank you both for taking the time to talk.
Gylfi, it was so great to match a face with the voice. You are so charming in your videos.
This is a wonderful Collab, the videographer and the scientist.😊
This has to be one of the best cross-overs of CZcamsrs... Thank you Shawn, and thank you Gylfi - can't wait for more of your videos
Brilliant collaboration Gylfi, much love as always ❤️ 🫡🌋
Wonderful video and so nice to see the man behind the gorgeous voice xxx
So, so happy to watch you both. Have been a huge fan of Gylfi from the early days of Just Icelandic. Prof Shawn thank you for your educational videos.
Gylfi....your videos ( particularly the heat drone footage) is outstanding ❤
Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺
Very nice to see Gylfi in person!
I like the parallels between your channels. I believe both of you came to this because you felt there was a lack of certain content on this platform, and both of you of course benefited from "good timing".
I think there is a big hunger for genuine, sometimes subjective, but always honest, information. The interest in "the most boring places" is part of that. Give us the real stuff!
@@renerphoI love when we are shown the non-tourist places in different countries. Places I'll never experience in this life.
Thank you for finding the time to meet up. I really appreciate getting to know Gylfi (parasocially anyway) a bit better.
Very nice to see you both, such a nice visit. Thanks so much!🎉❤
SO nice to see Gylfi, I've been following him for a long time.
This was fabulous Shawn. We see you in your video's but now we see Gylfi himself. Thanks so much
P.S.: I LOVE the idea of putting together Gylfis videography and Shawn's knowledge! Please do that ❤
Big fan of both channels!
Thanks Gylfi and Shaun, as always with you both it was very interesting. Really nice to put a face to Gylfi's voice.
What a wonderful chat. Thank you both so very much.
Thanks for this interview! It's good to know others encourage learning and sharing, too.
Very nice to meet Gylfi. Quite a video artist with an entrepreneurial mind.
Absolutely thrilled to see you guys (legends both) get together! What an awesome interview! Enjoyed it very much indeed! Thank you so much to both of you … made our day! Cheers from Down Under …😁🌴🌴🌴
What a wonderful discussion with Gylfi, Shawn. I watch you both, Gylfi a little longer because I've been following the volcanos since 2021. I hope you guys will have a wonderful collaberation. Thank you, both, so much!
I think it is great to have Gylfi and Shawn together, because they have the two insights in what is going on at the Reykanes Peninsula right now - the changing of the landscape, consechenses for people in Iceland, how to live with it (gylfi) and the geology (Shawn). So interesting, and important for someone who wants to learn about the icelandic culture and vulcanoes 😊👍
I am from Denmark and as Iceland was Danish territory up until 2. World war, I have grown up thinking of Iceland as "part-Danish". I have had fellow students from Iceland during my education in the '1980'ies', since it was quite common in these days for Icelanders to be educated in Denmark. I have a great interest in the culture and landscape of Iceland, an I have Danish friends living in Iceland now.
I have always thought of the Icelandijc people as a strong people in terms of nature and weather, and it is not a surprise to me how well they are handling this situation at the Reykanes Peninsula.
I mostly follow Shawn, but it has been so good to have someone at "ground zero" to explain how this plays out for people at the peninsula -and of course, great videos 😊👍
Lovely to see two of my favourite content creators together!
So happy to see you both together!
When we visited Iceland in 2017, we drove to Akureyri in a springtime blizzard, which was very unexpected. To return to Reykjavik, we opted to drive the coast road to David and Siglufjordur, and what a joy! We saw only 3 other cars along the entire peninsula; the villages, farms, birds, and one-lane tunnels were memorable. We stopped several times, to see birds, and I even saw a whale swimming close to shore.
By contrast, we did not go to Lake Myvatn because a Carnival cruise ship had just arrived in Akureyri, and they were disgorging thousands of passengers into vehicles, bound for Myvatn.
Love how passionate Gylfi is about sharing all of these knowledge about Iceland
"Hello! And greetings from Iceland!" I love the way he introduces his videos.
Fabulous!!!!! So great to see both of you together!
I’ve been watching Just Icelandic for a long time - wonderful videos!
We get to see Iceland from the comfort of our homes!
Thank you both! Thxi
Great to see you guys in discussion. 👍
Fantastic. Great to see the face of someone I have heard and listened to for hours. Thank you Shawn for sharing this post, the both of you have the most up-to-date information on CZcams and I watch every post from you both .❤
Great talk! Great to see you both - and to get to hear about Gylfi's plans for future projects. Will be looking for future videos and productions from you both!
Thank you, Gentlemen! I have learned so much from both of you! It’s a pleasure to see this collaboration…
