  • Hafnarfjörður is only 20 minutes away from central Reykjavík. This bustling port is Iceland’s third-largest town, with a population of over 28,000. It offers intriguing volcanic scenery and a variety of attractions and activities.
    Information about the tour:
    02:40 - We enter Hellisgerði. A enchanting park with pathway twists around a lovely pond and in-between lava rocks, which buckle and fold into tiny caves and mysterious nooks.
    03:10 - That house is The Little Elf Store. A shop and a small café
    where you can borrow a lunch basket and blanket for picnics in the park.
    05:10 - Bjarni Sívertsen. Father of Hafnarfjörður. Knighted by the King of Denmark.
    11:50 - Siggubær. The seaman Erlendur Marteinsson built Sigga’s house in 1902. His daughter, Sigríður (Sigga) Erlendsdóttir, was 10 years old when she moved into the house and she lived there until the year 1978, when she moved to Sólvangur, a local nursing home. Her house has been preserved as an example of the home of a labourer and a seaman in Hafnarfjörður at the beginning of the 20th century. There you can experience and get to know how the common people of the town lived at the time.
    14:44 - Hafnarfjörður museum.
    16:00 - Hafnarfjörður library to the left.
    17:23 - Fríkirkjan. Church of the Free Lutheran congregation of Iceland. A wedding is taking place.
    26:25 - Hafnarfjörður pond.
    28:12 - Here once stood Hafnarfjörður dairy farm.
    35:35 - Looking over port of Hafnarfjörður.
    37:04 - Hotel Viking. A viking themed hotel and restaurant.
    37:47 - Fjörukráin. Here you can get traditional meals served in old-fashioned Viking-style trays.
    40:00 - Odinn.

    Hafnarfjörður's old town is so beautiful, perhaps the most beautiful in whole Iceland.

    Awesome!
    What I love about Icelandic cities is that the streets are not only clean, but also well-groomed. In my city, there is also no garbage on the streets and the walls and streets are washed, but unfortunately the wild vegetation (bushes, trees, grass on the lawns) is not mown and grows by itself. This makes me sad.
    Your streets are very pleasant to look at.

      Here is a very good video about my city.
      czcams.com/video/DotTNXVrK-4/video.html
      The author (not me) tells what a very nice and beautiful city it is. Despite the fact that Krasnoyarsk is very often included in the top 5 cities in the WORLD with the worst air.
      The main air problem here is not industrial plants. Our city is cold enough. More than a million inhabitants live in it. Therefore, you need to generate a lot of heat. But it is produced by burning coal, not gas.

    I have two technical questions about shooting your videos.
    1. All of your videos have low mechanical noise. What is it from?
    2. How do you make your footage smoother when walking? Are you using some kind of camera stabilization system?

    • @IcelandHotSpots
      @IcelandHotSpots  Před 3 lety

      I'm working on fixing the noise. I think it comes from the gimbal's motor being to close to the gopro mic. I have acquired a external microphone to eliminate this noise. About the smoothness, it is a combination of gimbal stabilisation, gopro hypersmooth feature and a certain gait technique when walking ☺️
