The Vatnshellir (Lava Tube) Cave, Snæfellsnes peninsula in West Iceland.
A short video of the quite amazing Vatnshellir Cave, a lava tube in Iceland.
There is no artificial lighting inside so the only light available comes from the torches given to visitors. I have tried to capture the colours of the rock in the tube but clearly the LED light combined with the ability of my camera to record it does not do it justice.
Secondly I am a bit disappointed that I only managed to get a couple of clips showing the scale of the cave. There are three levels and each section of the tunnel is probably 8-10m high/wide.
In summary, I highly recommend visiting the cave if you get the chance because although it seems to cost a lot (3750 Kr or £24 June 19 for 45min tour) I can assure you the experience is worth it.
West Iceland : Hraunfossar, fjords
Support our channel :
Geographically close to Reykjavík, yet far, far away in sentiment, West Iceland (known as Vesturland) is a splendid microcosm of what Iceland has to offer. Yet many tourists have missed the memo, and you’re likely to have remote parts of this wonderful region to yourself.
The long arm of Snæfellsnes Peninsula is a favourite for its glacier, Snæfellsjökull, and the area around its national park is tops for birding, whale watching, lava-field hikes and horse riding. Inland beyond Reykholt you'll encounter lava tubes and remote highland glaciers, including enormous Langjökull with its unusual ice cave. Icelanders honour West Iceland for its local sagas: two of the best known, Laxdæla Saga and Egil’s Saga, took place along the region’s brooding waters, marked today by haunting cairns and an exceptional museum in lively Borgarnes. West Iceland offers everything from windswept beaches to historic villages and awe-inspiring terrain in one neat little package.

GOĐALAND (Land of the Gods): adventure in winter Iceland
Gođaland, Land of Gods. Discovering the beauty of Iceland in winter through the glaciers, the volcanoes, the imposing waterfalls and sea cliffs, the kingdom of ice and fire and wind and water.
00:40 The signs of the 2010 eruption of Eyjafjallajökull are clearly visible in the alluvional plain Markarfljótsaurar, shaken by several terrific floods (jokulhlaup) coming from the glacier, partially melted by the heat of the eruption.
1:43 Seljalandsfoss is created by the river Seljalandsá, originated from the Eyjafjallajökull glacier, that drops 60 metres over the cliffs of the former coastline. It is possible to go in a cave behind the waterfall to admire the spectacle of falling water.
Seljalandsfoss is situated in between Hvolsvöllur and Skógar at the road crossing of the Ring Road with the track going into Þórsmörk.
1:50 Skógafoss is a spectacular waterfall situated in the south of Iceland at the cliffs of the former coastline. After the coastline had receded into the sea (it is now at a distance of about 5 km from Skógafoss), the cliffs stayed behind parallel to the coast over hundreds of kilometers, creating together with some mountains, a clear border between the Lowlands and the Highlands of Iceland.
With a width of 25 metres and a drop of 60 metres Skógafoss is one of the most impressive and beautiful waterfall of Iceland.
2:45 Gullfoss (the Golden Waterfall) is a waterfall located in the canyon of Hvítá (White River) in southwest Iceland. The wide Hvítá rushes southward. About a kilometer above the falls it turns sharply to the left and flows down into a wide curved three-step staircase and then abruptly plunges in two stages (11 m and 21 m) into a crevice 32 m deep. The crevice, about 20 m wide, and 2.5 km in length, is at right angles to the flow of the river.
Gullfoss, together with Þingvellir and the geysers of Haukadalur, forms the spectacular Golden Circle.
9:28 Hraunfossar, Lava Falls, is a series of waterfalls formed by rivulets streaming over a distance of about 900 meters out of the Hallmundarhraun, a lava field which flowed from an eruption of one of the volcanoes lying under the glacier Langjökull. The waterfalls pour into the Hvítá river from layers of less porous rock in the lava. The Hraunfossar are situated near Húsafell and Reykholt in the district of Borgarfjörður, west Iceland.

레이크홀트에서 서쪽으로 4㎞ 떨어진 곳, 이곳은 유럽 최대 규모의 온천지역이다. 100℃ 이상 되는 온천수가 기세 좋게 솟구쳐 나오는데, 초당 180리터의 물을 쏟아낸다. 이 온천의 이름은 발음하기도 어려운 ‘데일다르퀸귀크베르’. 온천물은 농장의 한가운데를 지나 흘러가는데, 지난 1978년에 자연 보호 구역으로 지정됐다. 이곳의 온천물은 1925년부터 난방과 온수를 꾸준히 제공해왔는데, 현재 총 74㎞에 이르는 배관을 통해 인근의 도시와 농촌 지역의 사람들에게 공급되고 있다. 부글부글 끓는 소리와 시야를 가리는 뜨거운 김은 자연이 빚어낸 또 다른 한증막 체험이었다.

아이슬란드 순환도로인 링로드를 따라 다음으로 찾은 곳은 파란색 유빙들이 보석처럼 빛나는 요쿨살론. 파도에 깎여 잘게 부서진 빙하가 검은 모래해변에 흩어져 있다. 이곳에선 흘러온 유빙을 만지거나 걸터앉는 특별한 경험을 할 수 있다. “여기는 정말 굉장한 곳이에요. 정말 아름다워요. 이번 휴가 동안 찾은 곳 모두 다 굉장하고 아름다워서 놀라워요.” 해변 건너편엔 유빙들이 바다로 흘러들기 전 모여 있다. 태어나 처음 보는 비현실적인 풍광에 할 말을 잃고 그냥 멍하니 볼 수밖에 없었다. 왜 배트맨, 툼 레이더 같은 많은 SF영화들이 이곳에서 촬영됐는지 이해할 수 있었다. 시간이 지나 석양이 찾아들면 이곳은 또 다른 모습을 보여준다. 내가 서 있는 이곳이 지구가 아닌 다른 별이 아닐까 하는 착각이 들 정도였다. 사람들도 나와 비슷한 느낌인 것 같은 표정이다. “놀라워요. 편안하면서도 펼쳐진 풍경들이 정말 아름다워요. 엄청 추워요. 하지만 이 아름다운 풍경을 보기 위해선 이 정도 추위는 참아야겠죠.”

The next place along the Icelandic ring road, Ring Road, is the jokul salon, where blue drift ice shines like a jewel. A shattered glacier is scattered on a black sand beach. Here you can experience a special experience of touching drift ice drift or sitting on a walk. This is a really great place. It is so beautiful. I am surprised that all the places I have visited during this vacation are amazing and beautiful. Across the beach, drift ice gathered before flowing into the ocean. I could not help seeing myself in the unrealistic scenery of my first birth. I could understand why many SF movies like Batman and Tomb Raider were filmed here. If time goes by and the sunset is found, this shows another aspect. It was a misunderstanding that this place where I stand might be a star other than Earth. People also seem to have a similar feeling to me. It's amazing. The comfortable and unfolded landscapes are beautiful. It's very cold. But to see this beautiful landscape, this cold should endure.

Í næsta sæti ásamt íslenskum hringveginn, Ring Road, er Jökull Salon, þar blá rekís skín eins og gimsteinn. Mölbrotna jökull er dreift á svartri sandströndinni. Hér getur þú lendir sérstaka reynslu af að snerta rekís drift eða sitja á göngu. Þetta er mjög mikill staður. Það er svo fallegt. Ég er hissa á að allir staðir sem ég hef heimsótt á þessu fríi eru frábær og falleg. Across ströndinni, rekís saman áður rennur í sjóinn. Ég gat ekki hjálpað að sjá mig í óraunhæf landslagi fyrstu fæðingu mína. Ég gæti skilið hvers vegna margir SF bíó eins og Batman og Tomb Raider voru teknar hér. Ef tími goes við og sólarlag er að finna, þetta sýnir aðra hlið. Það var misskilningur sem þessum stað þar sem ég stend gæti verið stjarna annar en jörðinni. Fólk virðist einnig hafa svipaða tilfinningu við mig. Það er ótrúlegt. Þægileg og ósamanbrotnum landslag eru falleg. Það er mjög kalt. En til þess að sjá þetta fallega landslag, þetta kvef ætti að þola.

Iceland: Hraunfossar and Barnafoss
From Wikipedia:
Hraunfossar (Borgarfjörður, western Iceland) is a series of waterfalls formed by rivulets streaming over a distance of about 900 metres out of the Hallmundarhraun, a lava field which flowed from an eruption of one of the volcanoes lying under the glacier Langjökull. The waterfalls pour into the Hvítá river from ledges of less porous rock in the lava. The name hraun comes from the Icelandic word for lava. The Hraunfossar are situated near Húsafell and Reykholt and lava-tube cave Víðgelmir is close by.

Literally a stone's throw upstream from Hraunfossar, there is another waterfall called Barnafoss. Its name, the waterfall of the children, comes from an accident which is said to have taken place here in former times. There was a natural bridge over the waterfall and two children from a nearby farm fell to their deaths crossing the river on the bridge. Afterwards, the grief-struck mother had the bridge destroyed.
