Follow us on our Grand Icelandic Roadtrip!
Born from the fiery womb of the earth, and shaped by glaciers, tempests, and swells, Iceland bears a likeness to the earth when it was young - a boisterous spirit, untamed and running wild. Combining the inhospitable plains of the central highlands with moss-adorned river canyons and massive ice sheets, Iceland is the crown jewel of our planet’s rich treasures.

Flying a drone in Iceland:
Please be aware that restrictions on flying drones in Iceland apply. As an example, flying in national parks requires you to obtain a license. Read more about that here: ust.is/english/visiting-icela.... If you intend to fly a drone in Vatnajökull National Park, make sure to apply through www.vatnajokulsthjodgardur.is....
Please understand, that we obtained such a permit to shoot in Vatnajökull National Park. In general, be mindful of other visitors and do not disturb their experience by flying a drone directly above their heads. This is both dangerous and extremely ignorant. Don’t be this guy.
Real Talk:
Despite our attempt at keeping our Iceland Travel Documentary as authentic as possible, you are still watching a highlight reel. When editing, we naturally tend to choose the most exciting clips. What you don’t see are the hours spent driving through less spectacular landscapes or some of the challenges we faced.
Full Disclosure:
This trip was entirely self-funded. However, we participated in two complimentary whale-watching tours with North Sailing.

Am from India ,, first of all a lot of love to you for another masterpiece documentary,, Now my expectations is gradually increaseing & i am desperately waiting for Latin american country like CHILE , BOLIVIA ,,,,,,,, PLEASE make a concern on it and once again for your great a lot of appreciation from my side
This could have been a four part series - can we appreciate how Lucas doesn't split these into several millions parts like most creators.
You can divide it into four parts by yourself 😅
I visited Iceland this summer, travelling ring road in 8 days and barely scratched the surface. After watching this I feel I need to go back. Thanks mate for giving us such a beautiful piece to watch for free
There is so much to see, even we didn’t cover everything. Always a reason to come back 😊
MY EYES ARE BLEEDING WHAT DID YOU CREATE. BRILLIANT LUCAS ❤
Seroiusly tho that Volcano scene is phenomenal.
The volcano scenes give me goosebumps myself every time 😅🥰
I didn't blink much watching either▪︎ the most beauty iv seen in the documentary world.
WOW! What a truly breathtaking country with waterfalls, glaciers, volcanoes , cliffs & mountains. Love all the brilliant colors mixed together to form such a wonderland. Thanks Lucas & Anna for the amazing Icelandic trip. 🙋🏼♀️❤️👍🏻🇺🇸
Glad you enjoyed it, Sharon! Iceland truly has so much to offer :)
But where's the trees for birds to sit on?
Can there be any other way to picturise and narrate Iceland better than the way Lucas did. Hats off to you.
Thank you :)
Hi, Lucas and the lady companion. I enjoyed your trip around my country more than when I´ve been traveling around it for the past 50 years. What a load of work must have gone into putting this together and my hat off for your precise mapping of my country. Thank you so much for this absolute fabulous video, I feel like I´m now familiar with Icelandic nature!
Just a masterpiece, the editing and filming sceneries are breathtaking, thanks a lot
Thank you! 😊
It's not that breathtaking tbh, the landscape gets abit boring and the old saying seen one mountain you've seen them all, iceland definitely needs trees and birds to sit on them, it is a beautiful country would I live there....no
Basically the best "non professional" travel documentaries out there on YT!
Such great masterpiece about our stunningly beautiful blue planet!!! Appreciate all the wonderfully organized narratives along with the footage, well done Lucas! Just can't move my eyes away from the film. Looking for more such videos from you, thanks!
Thank you so much for your kind words ❤❤❤
I have never seen such a high level content. Breathtaking and absolutely stunning ❤
Thank you so much! ❤
I've loved watching your travel documentaries for past 4 years, when I first watched the Namibia Road Trip I was blown away by the visuals & editing. 🔥🔥 Can't wait to finish this one
Thank you for sticking around all that time. Truly appreciate it 🥰
I also have been watching his videos. He does them so well. Best ever
That was superb, Iceland may leave you speachless with it`s raw natural beauty, but you Lucas, you have a plethora of adjectives and the narration was outstanding! 😍👏🎬
Haha, thank you so much ️❤
Found your channel several months ago and have watched every video. This last one to Iceland was your best work yet. It was fantastic and so much detail. Just cannot get enough . Thank you so much for taking the world along for the journey. Please be safe in your travels and hopefully you never get tired of sharing your adventures. I can appreciate the long hours it has to take to put these together.
Thank you so much! It really means a lot to us to read such kind words as yours ❤
Was für ein grandioses Meisterwerk!! Filming, Schnitt, Musik alles! Danke für diesen wunderschönen Islandfilm! 😍😍😍 Daumen hoch ist zu wenig. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 Liebe Grüße von Sylvia und Chris 🙋♀️🙋🏻♂️🍀
Danke, danke, danke! Wir freuen uns wirklich sehr über die netten Worte ❤
Just stunning videography. Iceland should be paying you for the awesome advertisement of their country!
I watched this beautiful documentary last night. So well done, beautifully photographed and filmed .The best documentary I have ever seen on Iceland, or anywhere for that matter. Thank you Lucas.
Thank you very much. Your kind words mean a lot to us ❤
Definitely the best Iceland travel documentary I’ve ever seen! I feel like I haven’t seen most of Iceland yet 🤯 Such stunning roads and places. So well done Lucas - the video and also your driving skills! 😃
Thank you so much ❤ Iceland truly is the gift that keeps on giving 😅 Also shoutout to Anna who is behind the wheel in most of the scenes you can see the car 😃
Thank a lot for this epic experience throught the remote wilderness of Iceland. Great job guys!!
Thank you ❤
One of the best documentary i have seen. Narration is top notch. Landscape of Iceland is unique and diverse. Wow what a video it was. Enjoyed every minute of the video. Thank you Lucas for this wonderful effort you have put on this video. wow !!!!!
Thank you so much! This really means a lot ❤
You did it again Lucas:one more master piece. Thank you so much for sharing this with us, the amount of work you put into this together with the outstanding quality are overwhelming. From all the videos I've seen from Iceland none of them gets even close to yours. Thank you once more
Thank you very much! This really means a lot to us. Very happy you enjoyed it ❤
Another stunning video. Great quality and storytelling as always. Thanks.
Thank you 🥰
Used to watch your videos with my partner living on other continent, with a motivation that we too will explore like you in our future. Your videos also helped me overcome my stress, really grateful to you both. Love from th❤
This is stellar. I have nothing but great affection for Iceland. I generally visit in the Winter when tourists are at a low number. I can't do what you did in Summer though. I have no words.
Absolutely amazing, you just feel that you were part of the trip. Iceland is indeed a natural wonder.
Lucas your drive to venture out and explore the remote locations along with amazing photography and perfect naration puts your documentarys in a class of their own. Another masterpiece. Many thanks, Iceland is remarkable 😊
Thank you so much. Truly appreciate your kind words ❤
Truly a cinematic masterpiece, its clear an immense amount of thought and effort went into this stunning video! Thank you so so much for giving us all such a beautiful gift! I can’t wait to experience the magic of Iceland first hand ✨
Thank you so much for your kind words. We really appreciate them! Already wishing you all the best for your own Iceland adventure :)
I simply don’t have enough words to appreciate your talent of showing us the enchanting scenery of this beautiful planet!!!!
You are truly amazing!!!!
Thank you so much for your kind words ❤
This is one of the best travel blogs / documentaries
I have seen. The scenery, filming and commentary is second to none. I feel as if I was there with them
Thank you so much!
Dear Lucas and Anna,
What a testimonial to one of the most beautiful countries on earth, with sometimes harsh forces of nature (thinking about the current situation and those affected in the Grindavík area).
How well you've captured your travels and made it in this work of art. Because that's what this video is. It surely has been a lot of work in editing all the raw footage in this magnificent video. A big, big thumbs up.
We've had the pleasure to travel to Iceland a few times, and it does indeed seem to make you come back again, which we hope to do in a few weeks.
Let us wish you all the best in future travels. Stay safe and healthy
Best wishes from the Netherlands.
Thank you so much for your kind words! This gave us a very big smile ❤
Fully agree, Iceland is both challenging and beautiful whereas the former probably enhances the latter. Even after traveling around the country for so long, we are pretty sure we will return again :)
As a man from the tropics, i am stunningly amazed by the beauty of Iceland you have shown in this video documentary. I really would like to visit the country but with a very cold climate, I'll just pass the chance. Anyways, thank you for bringing me there in your documentary video. Thank you so much, Lucas.😊
It's a bonus last quarter from Lucas❤🎉
Another one in the works already 😊
@@LucasTJahn that'll be the best way to end this year🥂❤️
Thank you. The truth is I will likely never see any of these breathtaking views in person but I am just so content and happy to visit them through your documentary and your wonderful story telling. I am soaking up all these knowledges from your narratives, cinematography, pronunciations of all these special places! I am having a really good time enjoying and learning about them all!
Very happy to hear that you enjoy our documentaries! We hope to produce many more in the future 😊
I’m obsessed with Iceland 🇮🇸 and have visited this amazing country 8 times over the years. This vlog is my dream trip and I wish I had the time and money to do it. Thank you to someone who has this for sharing your wonderful experience ❤
Thank you so much! Eight visits sounds like you really enjoy Iceland :) There definitely is always something new to discover ❤
영화 한 편 본 기분이었어요. 제가 봤던 어떤 다큐보다 더 훌륭한 영상이었습니다. 좋은 영상 감사해요!!
ชอบมากค่ะ สวยและตื่นเต้นมากๆค่ะ สวย100%ค่ะ
This video is excellent, as always. I was in Iceland last year and it's really worth seeing. Your adventure showed me places that I couldn't imagine for travelling alone, but maybe someday in the future... who knows? Thanks a lot for your great work!
And you catching pufflings - amazing!
Glad you enjoyed it! :) Catching and releasing pufflings was truly one of the most memorable experiences ever!

Thank you for letting me see the beautiful panoramic view of Iceland
Glad you enjoyed it
Iceland is beautiful and it’s a highly dynamic part of the earth. Yet, at the same time, it appears unearthly. An amazing place. Thank you.
Fully agree, a truly otherworldly place :)
Phantastisches Video eines wunderschönen Landes. Ich kann mir vorstellen, wie viel Arbeit das war, chapeau!
Vielen lieben Dank! 😊
Thanks man I really love your videos
Thank you for the video clip.
Thanks for taking the time and camera equipment and creating a spectacular documentary of Iceland. Very interesting with surprising discoveries and wonderful drone videos!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I recently watched the winter trip video, which is a pure work of art. This one is even more fantastic! There are far too many places I haven't been, for ex. The West fjords and most of the highlands. It's so incredible to see all those places, that very few tourists go! I was born and grew up in Mývatnssveit and my husband in Skagafjörður. We have lived in the south too. For ex. under Eyjafjöll, almost right below where the eruption was in 2010. Thankfully, the year before, we had moved to Norway! 😅 I don't know why I felt I had to write all this, but it feels like I know you, after being transfixed, watching your video! I usually crochet or do something else, while watching youtube, but not this time! 😄
Thank you both for this magnificent piece of art!
Lots of love to you. 💖💖
Thank you so much, Rebekka! We always really love to hear from locals, so this absolutely made our day ❤ Wishing you all the best, Anna & Lucas
The Iceland beauty videos showcase a mesmerizing tapestry of nature's wonders. Majestic waterfalls cascade over rugged cliffs, glaciers gleam under the Arctic sun, and vivid hues dance across the Northern Lights. Each frame captures the ethereal beauty of Iceland, leaving viewers enchanted by its otherworldly landscapes
What a beautiful documentary. Thank you for sharing such a wonderful adventure.
🥰
Iceland is wonderland.♥
Greatly Appreciate to both for this Video!
Thank you ❤
Amazing trip. Thanks for sharing
The best video I have watched , truly enjoyable with never ending of epic scenery . My eyes were bombarded with the stunning landscapes of Iceland .
Wow, thank you! ❤️
Memories rise! I have been on Iceland in September 2023...
I had a most wonderful time on this armchair journey. Made me realise how awful the Grand Creator is and how much He loves us to send you Lucas to take us on these awe-inspiring trips with you. You pronounced the names of the places so nicely. Everything was just excellent. Thanks more than a million! Iceland, with so many thrilling places, colours, majestic peaks etc is just heavenly. Realise too that you are very brave and adventurous. You are just the perfect one for these adventures. We, the armchair travellers are truly blessed to have you as our thrillseeker.
Thank you so much for your kind words, Carol! This brought a huge smile to our faces. We truly appreciate that you took the time to share this comment. Iceland has a very special place in our hearts as it is a magnificent place. We cannot wait to return one day ☺
A magical effort ,breathtaking scenery ,beautifull

Thank you! 😊
Thank you for the invaluable opportunity to see the astonishing beauty of this extraordinary country. Simply breathtaking. Thank you 🙏
Very happy to hear you enjoyed it :)
I spent 11 days in Iceland in September of 2022 and I did the ring road with a few detours. I had the time of my life and left a piece of my heart behind with the hopes of returning someday. Your incredible video just awoke in me a desire to return soon and explore more of this stunning country. Thank you for showing me a side of Iceland I am not yearning to discover myself.
There is so much to explore in Iceland! Wishing you all the best with your plans to return for a second time ❤
