In this scenic video, I’ve put together some of the most beautiful moments from our trip around Akureyri and the north of Iceland, including dramatic fjords, frozen waterfalls, steaming geothermal lagoons and incredible Arctic landscapes.

This is the quieter side of Iceland. No narration, just the sights of one of the most stunning places I’ve ever visited.

The footage in this video was filmed during our road trip around North Iceland, based in Akureyri and travelling across the surrounding fjords and countryside. You can see the main trip video here on my channel https://youtu.be/3dmZQoAaT9U

If you're planning a winter trip to Iceland, or simply want to enjoy the scenery, I hope this gives you a sense of just how special this part of the country is.

This is the route we took on our trip - https://www.google.com/maps/dir/65.6817686,-18.0906929/Go%C3%B0afoss+Waterfall,+645,+Iceland/Lava+field+Dimmuborgir,+H3RQ%2BF3Q,+660+Sk%C3%BAtusta%C3%B0ir,+Iceland/Grj%C3%B3tagj%C3%A1,+J4G8%2BGQX,+660+Reykjahl%C3%AD%C3%B0,+Iceland/Hverir,+J5RR%2B978,+660+Reykjahl%C3%AD%C3%B0,+Iceland/H%C3%BAsav%C3%ADk,+640,+Iceland/@65.7837234,-18.1801481,101209m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m34!4m33!1m1!4e1!1m5!1m1!1s0x48cd7e6a481f369f:0x7ebbcdaa4e0d1d3b!2m2!1d-17.5501918!2d65.6827782!1m5!1m1!1s0x48cd9f2312044dd9:0x801f4d9f36622316!2m2!1d-16.91228!2d65.5912203!1m5!1m1!1s0x48cd9ef0df2feebd:0x79e8f6d9c5fd9511!2m2!1d-16.8830077!2d65.6263565!1m5!1m1!1s0x48cd9f0ad5adea6d:0x100c72506334f2fc!2m2!1d-16.809311!2d65.6409144!1m5!1m1!1s0x48cd42159e4b2c3b:0x30afb44cc03c202f!2m2!1d-17.343908!2d66.047451!3e0?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI2MDIyNS4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D - warning, the road from Hverir to Husavik was a little tricky in the snow of February.
