Born from the earth's fiery belly and shaped by glaciers, storms and waves, Iceland bears a resemblance to the land when it was young - a turbulent, untamed and wild spirit. Combining the inhospitable plains of the Central Highlands with moss-festooned river canyons and massive sheets of ice, Iceland is the crown jewel of our planet's rich treasures.

For example, to fly in national parks, you need to obtain a license. Read more about it here: https://ust.is/english/visiting-icela.... If you plan to fly a drone in Vatnajökull National Park, be sure to apply via the website https://www.vatnajokulsthjodgardur .is.... Please understand that we obtained this permission to film in Vatnajökull National Park. Also, be careful around other visitors and don't disrupt their experience by flying a drone directly over their heads. This is dangerous and very ignorant. Don't be like that. Real talk: Despite our attempt to keep our Iceland travel documentary as authentic as possible, it is still a report. When editing, we naturally tend to choose the most exciting clips. What you don't see are the hours spent driving through less spectacular landscapes or some of the challenges we faced. Full disclosure: This trip was completely self-funded. However, we did participate in two free whale watching tours with North Sailing. #Iceland #traveldocumentary
