Iceland | 4x4 Travel Through the Land of Fire & Ice | X Overland Nordic Series EP8
After arriving at Torfi’s cabin in the middle of a dark and stormy night, the team begins to plan their route into Iceland’s interior via the F Roads with local legend, Torfi Johannsson, and his one-of-a-kind 1991 Toyota Hilux. Clay gives a rundown on this 4x4 ready truck with 42" tires, solid rear axle, and 80's series Landcruiser front suspension system.
Clay makes a costly mistake while fleet manager Tanner has his work cut out for him. Deep, powerful river crossings, amazing Icelandic camps shared with local overlanders, wayward motorcycle travelers in need of help--it’s all in Episode 8 of The Nordic Series. #xoverland #iceland #overlanding #offroad

This is by far, one of our most favorite episodes to date. Enjoy all the water crossings and surprises!
incredible scenery!
Would enjoy an additional long form video with just the drone footage + visuals set to music
Absolutely. Indeed very spectacular. I hope that someday I will get a chance to overland in Iceland but before that, own a Toyota Hilux 😀. Again, thank you very much. Watching from Kenya.
me too!
Hands down my favorite one.
Can I just compliment the maturity of the younger members. Cyrus thinking he hit his rear diff, having the maturity to not panic and jump straight onto the radio bit to wait and have the courage to still mention it when something can be done about it. On the other side. Compliment to the parents.
Thank you so much! We've tried hard to raise good men :)
It was more than amazing, meeting you guys out in the nowhere, getting some fuel😂💪
good time
What's the story with this? I can't help but think if nobody had come along it could have had a much darker ending.
WOW! Great! My bucket list gets longer and longer! THX!!! Caroline makes a good job as a Captain 😉🙃🙂! Expedition Overland and EFRT shows me since a long time how greatfull live can be! In my Job i see too much darkness, problems, dangers for humans and the envirnoment and death... Your videos helps me a little bit to keep my dreams (and a bucket list 😉). Thank you! God bless you all! Best greetings from Bavaria, Olli
It's views like that, which is why you find camp early and get up before the crack of dawn!
AMAZING!!! Clay, deserves a case of Red Bull for pronunciation of names!! RIP Merlin
Tanners art project definitely gave me a good laugh. Great creativity!
I literally just saw your guys Tacoma and patriot camper on a flat bed on i80 east in Indiana. Can't wait to see what's coming!

I've lived in Montana most of my life. I love it here and think it is stunning. But , Iceland is absolutely blowing my mind. It's absolutely amazing.

Easily the best episode of the Nordic series.
This was epic.
Iceland!!! Whoa!!! So much raw beauty. You have captured it sooo well. Thanks.
I'm from iceland and i LOVE your chanel, and this nordic series is the best i have seen from my home country
The world is such a beautiful place. Running out of gas would be my biggest challenge. Glad y'all help that biker.👍 She needs some j cans.
Really good, though out all the episodes being constantly taking some notes of places and ideas. Excellent thanks Sam
ExpeditionOverland# Dudes.....I realy love your Episodes about Icelannd. *BIG THUMBS UP* At 20:32 Hvanngil huts : I`m traveling to Iceland since 1990. And my last few trips always I made Solo Hikes into the Highlands. I reached this same hut in late Winter on my 2014 Solo Snowshoeing Triip along to Landmannalaugar and even further North. This Hut was half buried under a Monster Shitload of Snow. And being their totally allone was something super special. So I could 100% empathise with you about this trip and Landscapes.. IT IS JUST A REAL JOY TO WATCH 🙂 MANY THX
So I'm binge watching all your videos because they are that AWESOME!!! Please make more soon!!🤩🤩🤩
WOW, just WOW!
Well done!!
Been a subscriber eversince the Pan-American series, but boy this series is the best one yet!
Legendary

Your welcome! Thank you so much for watching.
Cigar guy here🫡 "Breath taking," just speechless watching and puffing away! Awesome 👌 X OVERLAND SIMPLY AWESOME ✌️❤️
Thank you for bringing us the beauty of this world and inspiring all of us to see it. Iceland has been on my radar of trips for the last 3 or 4 years and now it has become a life goal to see it in person.
Those views….wow
Best episode to date!
That waterfall is where floki ends up in Vikings isnt it?? Beautiful landscapes!! Truly breathtaking
@Expedition Overland…thanks for these therapeutic excellent must watch seasons.
Breathtaking scenery. Amazing.
This is the best episode I’ve seen to date!
Amazing expedition and documentary😍
I remember the 2010 eruption as we were overlanding in Africa and luckily were able to fly back to Canada via Amsterdam. Fantastic adventure! A new "standard" for overland adventures.
I will check ✔️ it out
Amazing scenery. Wow!
Absolutely beautiful.
Finally spotted the place where intro was taken. It is amazing to see iceland in cinematographic scenes. Felt sad drone accident. thanks

The first offroad drive whole nordic series, the river crossing 8:40 hahaha
One of the best XO videos ever!
I cant wait
Awesome video as always XO Crew. Iceland is so beautiful and breathtaking so awesome.
Awesome chapter! It takes good memories to us. We drove some F-roads (f88 to Askja, Landmanalaugar,..) in a rental Landcruiser. Come back to highlands is in our plans...
Amazing.
The scenery is just incredible! Thanks for sharing your adventures.
I’m Speechless…. Wow !!!

Thanks for another epic adventure. These episodes make my week.
Mind Blown..... Words fall short

Wow so blown away😮. Love this series!!
what a beautiful scenery and great story. bravo team!
Driving through Iceland with a legend and his monster truck - I thought I was adventurous until I saw those water crossings...I stick to puddles now 😄
Every facet of this series has been outstanding, but this was next level. Awesome work by the entire team!
Spectacular scenery! Great episode! Love the HiLux 👍
Awesome video! Iceland is an Island with Biblical wildness!!
That is spectacular rugged beautiful scenery. Iceland has always been on the visit list. Great episode.
I absolutely LOVE watching you guys and gals going on this epic journey. Some of the best and most satisfying video I’ve even seen.
Unbelievable, you guys are showcasing Iceland to a degree of excellence. I now must get to see this for myself. Your show is absolutely NEXT LEVEL Overlanding. Well done Clay and team.
Crazy footages as always 😍 PS: RIP Merlyn 😓🤣
The production quality is A*. Incredible visuals, makes me want to go back :)
I love how they make it all look so dangerous and hard while driving 35'
Well actually It is truly dangerous
@@doddsalfa no its not... watch 24/7 4wd Australia 4x4 channel show on You Tube..to see dangerous ..this is cross country overland.. not "offloading"
@@BX0207 don’t think Australians are going to teach a north islanders much about river crossing.My girlfriend did work in Þórsmörk for a few years in the summer and repeatedly much bigger trucks than this suv was stuck in the river (krossà) that’s plain danger ⛔️
Great series! Scandinavia is a wonderful place. Spent many years there growing up. Iceland now! That’s a bucket list adventure.
True but Iceland isn’t a part of Scandinavia
I went to Iceland in February a few years ago. It's a completely different looking landscape when there isn't any snow. Almost like a totally different planet. Looks like I'm going to have to go back.
Absolulety amazing footage on this video. Thank you for all your hard work in bringing me along on this epic overland expedition! Just wow!
I agree this is by far the best epoisode yet! Keep em coming guys great work!!!
Thank you for the incredible content!!! Keep up the good work 👏🏻!!!
Ashley is the most scenic thing by far. 😅
Thank you for taking us to Iceland. We visited this amazing country in 2021 on the 3-week solo 4x4 trip and we just couldn't believe such places existed. Iceland sets the 4x4 expedition bar high, as your cinematography and storytelling. Looking forward to your next episodes from Iceland. I bet you visited even more wonderful places and with your cinematography skills, the future episodes will be the feast to our eyes.
yo i thought your profile was the two nibbas kissing meme
Fantastic episode ❤Loved it!!!
Such amazing video capture and scenery! The vast epicness of Iceland is well portrayed in this series! Well done and thanks for sharing!!
Had the pleasure of doing some off roading in Iceland..Fantastic! Great video guys,best wishes from Wales 🏴
As a commercial drone pilot, I feel your pain. Amazing episode as usual.
Awesome ❤
