ICELAND EP2 | A cinematic roadtrip North

//Due to some copyright issues I had to remove a song in the end of the video. So excuse the messed up audio 😅

In 2021 it was time to leave for the North again. This year we decided not to go Norway and instead visit Iceland and the Faroe Islands with our trusty DIY campervan Wilma! I always wanted to go there with my own van and explore the country without a big plan and independent from accommodations.

This year it finally worked out - we left for a 6 weeks trip. We spent 2 days in Denmark before taking the Smyril Line directly from Hirtshals to Seyðisfjörður in the East.

After quite a while in the Southern Regions, Reykjanes and Snæfellsnes peninsula it was time to head North - a special project with North Sailing was waiting for us in Húsavík. But before arriving in Northern Iceland we found ourselves in an unreal place - inside a volcano! It was thrilling to drive in with our Wilma but it all worked out! In Húsavík we boarded Opal, a wooden schooner, to sail to the northernmost island of Iceland - Grímsey. We sailed towards the midnight sun, passes Flatey - another uninhabited island - and floated silently across the arctic ocean. We explored more of the northern region and slowly made our way to the East Fjords again to end with a nice bivvy up on a ridge. Just amazing!

More in EP3 - coming soon!

Happy to show you my attempt in covering this 6 weeks journey in a more or less cinematic way. My biggest video project so far and it took me quite a while to put everything together. I hope you like the video and feel inspired to also do that one day - cheers! :)
