Video: Iceland - Tears of Heaven

After posting a great video from Iceland yesterday, I would typically wait a bit before sharing another clip from the same country. But this one is just too good to hold back, as it once again provides stunning views of a country that is brimming over with opportunities for adventure. Shot over the course of 26 days, the video takes us across Iceland from north to south, sharing some hidden landscapes along the way. Less than four minutes in length, the clip does its job however, convincing viewers that this is a must-see place.

Video: On the Edge of Light in Iceland

This beautiful video takes us to Iceland, but rather than showing us what the landscapes look like there during the day – something we've seen a thousand times – it gives us a glimpse of them after dark. Illuminated by the moon, the stars, and the Northern Lights, those landscapes take on a different feel altogether. It is quite a sight to be behold.

Video: Under an Arctic Sky - Surfing Iceland in Winter

When you think of great surf spots, Iceland is not a place that typically comes to mind. But, when a team of adventurers – led by photographer Chris Burkard and filmmaker Ben Weiland – traveled to that beautiful and wild country, they discovered that there was indeed some terrific waves to ride along the north coast. This was especially true when one of the most brutal storms of the past 25 years made landfall there, creating a surreal environment for an arctic adventure. As you'll see in this video, they got everything they were looking for, and more.

Video: Running Downhill in Iceland

As you might expect, they find them amongst the amazing landscapes there.
