  • This Iceland video documentary covers a comprehensive road trip through the majestic country south of the Arctic circle. My Iceland travel itinerary covered all the major highlights and landmarks of Iceland, from Thingvellir National Park, Geysir, and Gullfoss on the famous Iceland Golden Circle, to a city tour of Reykjavik, near the Iceland airport of Keflavik. But the Iceland summer road trip also included the Iceland ring road highlights of Vik, the black sand beach, the best Iceland glacier lagoon, the Diamond Beach, major Icelandic lava fields, a lava show, the lonely Iceland plane which crashed on a black beach, and the famous Iceland waterfalls of Kirkjufell, Godafoss, Dettifoss, Skogafoss, Hengifoss, and Dynjandi waterfall in the magical Westfjords. I go whale watching in Iceland in the Northern city of Husavik, watch the Icelandic puffins, and observe the seals bath in the cold Icelandic waters. Iceland in June is the best time to go since the midnight sun is most magical. My Iceland summer travel also included the unforgettable Highlands of Iceland which are only accessible with a 4x4 vehicle. I ventured to Landmannalaugar, Myvatn, Skaftafell, and so many more places. The unpredictable Iceland weather showed its many faces but it all made for a memorable Iceland summer travel.

    Well done! I'm only part way through and I have shared with the three people I know who have done long visits to Iceland. Your work is as good or better than any professional travel documentary, extremely well done so far as I'm watching in several segments. You outdid yourself on this one my friend, Cheers!

      ​@@januslogI like how you went off the beaten path to a degree and I can relate to enjoying solitude as a part of travel as it gives you a different kind of reflection. I know that you spent a lot of time putting this together and I want to sincerely thank you. Cheers!

    How was the car ? Reliable ? Comfortable ? Why am I asking ? Because it's made in Romania.

    • @januslog
      @januslog  Před 3 měsíci

      I loved it. It’s not luxurious but very practical and I was even able to flatten the back seats completely which allowed me to turn it into a bed on some nights. Great car!

      ​@@januslog In deep years of communism, French built a factory in Romania and produced a car called "Dacia". Practically it was Renault 12 model. Romanians continues to build it themselves and enhance it as much as they could: 5 speeds, servo brake, servo steering, case modified engine increased capacity from 1300 to 1410 cmc. After the revolution, the collaboration renewed and Renault produced new models, this time with new technology. Now I see they export them in all Europe. It was the national car of Romania in the years of communism, not the model you drove, which is advanced, but the old Reanult 12, model 1968.
