Having an amazing time up here in Iceland.
Glaciers, waterfalls, cliffs, black sand beaches, snow, ice, more snow, and some surprisingly good weather. Here’s 2 short videos of our fun so far…

Hi there
Absolutely loved your videos, I am going to Iceland later this week and wonder if you could give me some hints and tips about flying my mavic pro there.
Thank you

Yes. The Golden Circle itiiniary was, IMHO, average and hopelessly over crowded with tourists and plastered with No Drones signs. But in truth, drone shots would be awful anyway given the number of people crowded round.
So my advice is to veer off the main track and find the beautiful shots where the tourists aren’t.
Like the UK, landowners don’t control airspace but they are allowed to prevent you from controlling your drone. But as said, for me, the best shots were far away from tourists where there are no signs and no restrictions.
Defo rent a car. The South coast is beautiful and rugged. The western Snaefellsness Peninsula is staggering, especially on the northern side, and much quieter. I’ll get my Western Region video up in a few days but I posted a fair few pictures on my Instagram at ian_in_london which show the amazing sights of the Western peninsula.
Hopel that helps.
Ian.

Thanks for taking the time to reply.
We will be staying in a cottage on the east side of Þingvallavatn lake for a few days and then going to Reykjavik for a few days.
Already rented Toyota 4x4 as we are on a lot of F roads and looking at recent weather reports might need it, Apparently according to road.is, most of the central Highlands and the south are closed apart from the golden circle road.
Have a great time

The interior is all closed until June usually. But all the roads around the island are open and fine. And you’ll probably have snow tyres which are almost as good as driving with chains on.
Have a great trip.

Great video! I enjoyed that! Jealous!!!
Deffo agree with all of that.
I was there in Feb 2018 and the usual places were heaving. Going off the beaten track is the way to really see the place.
