Iceland in Summer with a Land Rover Defender

Exploring Iceland in our Land Rover Defender, Olaf. This allowed us to go far into the less-visited, primordial interior of the country which is impossible in the winter, and inadvisable in the summer without a 4X4, as it involves considerable off-road driving on challenging dirt tracks. We tried to avoid the worst of the tourist hot-spots on the south coast and the Golden Circle which have been filmed to death, and although we experienced one of the worst summers in living memory, we managed to shoot some of the incredible waterfalls in the north of the country, the Atlantic puffin colony at the vertiginous sea cliffs at Látrabjarg, the surreal inland black sand deserts and hydrothermal regions, and the shattered edge of the enormous Vatnajökull ice cap.

Alicia, glad you liked our video and thanks for commenting - much appreciated. Iceland in summer is quite different to the snow of the winter. Unfortunately the weather wasn’t the best when we were there that summer. Martin and Sharron

Those waterfall timelapses at about 2.40 are freaking awesome. Great video, you should upload more often, your footage is really great quality and i like the pace and editing alot.

Cheers, and glad you liked the film. The falls to which you refer is Dettifoss, which has the greatest volume of any waterfall in Europe, and featured in the opening scenes of Ridley Scott's Prometheus.

You have captured the landscapes of Iceland brilliantly, many thanks!

Many thanks, Ains. I'm sure you'll recognise some of the places. They look very different in the summer!

Really lovely opening, the upward reveal of the drone then cut to following the Land Rover was excellent. A few more drone shots with a subject like that and you're on to a winner. The location looked amazing and some really nice timelapses, you've definitely inspired me to visit Iceland and hike.

Many thanks indeed. Off-road driving and hiking in Iceland are fabulous experiences which you'll not forget in a hurry. The landscapes are out of this world!
