ICELAND Travel and Photography Guide
In this travel and photography guide video, I will show you where and what to see in Iceland. I do so by showing my way to approach different locations in Iceland. I take them one by one in geographical order clockwise around the island. I will stress that this is NOT how "you're supposed to do it". This is simply how I would approach Iceland. You are still the sole creator of your tour to Iceland and you have to design your tour with what you want to accomplish in mind.

Has to be the definitive guide to Iceland! Awesome!!!
That intro is the best collection of drone footage I have ever seen
Your Iceland series has been so much help to many photographers, Thank You.
Haha :D I love the intro and how the guys are running away from the wave :D
I've said it before, but this is an invaluable series on Iceland's astonishing landscapes. Thank you, Mads!
Bravo Mads!! A big thank you for all the hard work and dedication you have put in the Iceland series. I was in Iceland in the middle of September and all the iconic spots I photographed was made possible because of you. Looking forward to your next projects.
So glad you released this video Mads! I’m sure it will be a godsend for many people! I’ll certainly be sharing it 😉👏🏼
What a great example of sharing knowledge for the benefit of many. Very very generous - thank you Mads
Hi Mads. I imagine it took a lot of work to pull it all together into one video - thank you so much for producing this fantastic guide. I've watched all of your excellent episodes from Iceland and will use all of them, along with this video when I go there. Thank you so much for sharing Mads. Outstanding !
Planning a trip to Iceland and all this video did was give us even more to think about! In a good way! We added nine locations to our list of possibilities, and will have to watch the individual episodes to narrow down our choices for our visit. Thanks for all the effort you have put into this video and the series!
Never saw such great guiding lines ever!!!!! Thank YOU! Can't wait for June!
Definirely the best guide Ive ever seen. This is absolutely brilliant and exactly what I was looking for on my icelandic photography trip
Epic guide, I can without reservation recommend every one of the videos in this series. Stunning photography and videos full of wonderful locations expertly captured, brimming with brilliant advice.
A fantastic summary from a majestic series Mads and dont think I have seen such a comprehensive destination guide when you consider all the episodes you have produced for Iceland.
Great video and nice reminder of all the many Iceland videos I've watched from your feed over the last couple of months.
Thanks Mads, I sent your link to a friend that is planning a trip to Iceland next year. Once again FANTASTIC work!
Thank you for taking the time to share, assemble and link past videos!
Magnificent, Mads. I had forgotten how many awesome images you had shot over the last few months.
Have only recently come across your vlogs on you tube and they are bloody wonderful. Iceland 🇮🇸 is my favourite destination and have lucky to have visited twice. I have been to some of these destinations especially South Iceland, Snaefelsness Peninsula and North Iceland. Still so much more to see and you’ve given me some wonderful ideas for my 3rd trip. Will now start watching all your vlogs on this wonderful country. Thank you 👏👏
wow, I am exhausted from the whistle stop tour Mads - it is truly amazing how much you have covered and how much Iceland has to offer beyond the honey pot locations. No idea if I will ever make it there but your guides will be invaluable if I do. Much respect to you.
really appreciate what youre sharing with all of us!!!
a superb overview over so many mind blowing locations!!
Hi Peter! That is very informative. It works as a video index to your Iceland series. It really shows how Iceland packs in terms of landscape potential. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the inspiration and the generosity you have given in these locations. And all of your videos. Keep going!
Great guide! As always, you show Iceland to its best. Thanks!
Mads, this is the best series about Island, I've ever seen! I think, there is nothing comparable on YT and somewhere else. Absolutely awesome! The whole series, toghether with this "master video", is a priceless help for visiting Island for photograpy, hiking or something else and I will use it for sure, if I travel to Island within the next years (that's my plan at least...)! Many thanks and keep up your excellent work! br Frank
Many thanks for the incredible series. I have been watching your series for a few days. The information you give is quite useful, the tips are great and most of all the atmosphere and the enthusiasm you project are just wonderful.
Excellent Mads as always, brilliant guide, thanks for sharing
One of THE best KZhead channels out there. Priceless content and I cannot believe that it’s free!! Thank you for creating such valuable content. I am in the process of planning my Icelandic trip, thanks in part to your excellent videos and this brilliant series.
Thank you for this guid vlog! Your tips and linked videos about the different locations are really great! 😊👍🏽
Amazing guide! One of the best I’ve seen. GREATLY APPRECIATED👏🏾😁
Amazing video and the incredible part is that lots of places miss. Never ending Iceland
Did an organised specialised dedicated photo tour last Feb last year with a small group (9) and it was super - what it did was to give you the confidence to undertake a self drive tour to at least get your bearings and also to get a sense of what to expect. Currently planning to do a self drive expedition by using Mads wonderful videos on top of what I experienced last year! Mads, your stuff is extremely inspiring!
Great vlog mads, beautifully narrated and great guide info
Congrats Mads, amazing video, thanks for sharing so many useful info and tips!
Best guide - period
This is exactly the kind of information I need to plan my trip!!! Thanks so much! Will be checking out all the videos in the series
Awesome! Happy you liked the video. I have a map with all the locations for sale. Just follow the links in the description :)
For me the best Iceland (photography) guide out there!!! Shared, shared and shared👌
Thank you Mads, this is exactly what I have looked for!
Stunning! My favourite country.

Excellent work! I am planning a landscape photography trip to Iceland this October and your video series will definitely help!
Thanks Mads for such a nice summary of locations to visit. I’m sure it will help lot of people in planning their trip to Iceland. I used your initial videos to plan my last trip to Iceland and I am sure I will refer back to this video for the next one. :)
Incredible guide for photographers. Thank you!
Wow what a nice overview of all the locations and episodes, this series is truly epic, both in visual and inspirational sense.

Thank you, Nina, for your continued support! Means a lot :)
Excellent video as always Mads.

I have an upcoming trip to Iceland in late May and I find myself coming to this video every week. Thank you so much for creating it!
A fantastic recap of your priceless videos. Thank again. I will definitely be referring to your videos when I re visit.
Fantastic video! Very comprehensive, all included and serving at the same time as an index from your videos. Thank you Mads!
Really Awesome!. I visited iceland a few months back and enjoyed it a lot but keep watching this series as it is so well done.
A wonderful overview of Iceland. I hope to get there one day. Thank you very much. Cheers Zsolt
Thanks so much for the information. It’s a perfect summary of the highlights in Iceland from the standpoint of a photographer. Can’t wait to get there.
Great video Mats. Please do more like this one.
This was PERFECT! Thank you so much for this!
Thank you so much! My wife and I are visiting Iceland in Sep next year. This is an excellent guide. We will most likely do the trip counter clockwise. Thanks again. Your photos and vlogs are exquisitely beautiful.
Wow. I love Iceland
Great job Mads. This is an actually useful video.
Very helpful Mads. Many thanks for sharing.
I love your videos about Iceland. I've been there twice and for landscape photography I can highly recommend Landmannalaugar and black sand desert in highlands (F229).
Great overview, after watching this I’ve gone back to episode 1 and have started to watch the entire series
Wonderful compilation and guide; thank you. Leslie
Simply beautiful. I've been to Iceland once, and it was for 7 days. We simply fell in love with the country. We are now heading back in October for a total of 16 days of traveling, and cannot wait. We will go around the whole country this time, I have many of the spots of interest already marked in my map and hope that the weather will cooperate. Thanks for the video!
How many days would you recommend?
Thank you Mads, a really great comprehensive guide, if only we had enough time to visit them all. I really like your style and I have learnt a lot.
Awesome video of Iceland, thanks so much . We were there with my group in September 2018 I love your video of the waterfalls and the Northern Lights
