Travel Videography: Destination Iceland "Exploring Glaciers on ATVs"
Hey Videographers and photographers!
Travel with us to the incredibly wild country of Iceland and experience adventure shooting where very few people have ever been before!
Iceland is one of the most widely photographed destinations on the planet with intense waterfalls, glaciers, giant chunks of ice floating out to sea, some amazing snorkeling at the continental divide, crazy remote landscapes, rugged cliffs over choppy waters, and northern lights, this country is one big photo collage.
If you are looking to up your videography or photography game this is a very challenging country to shoot, white balancing gets a whole new meaning when the sky and ground are all completely white, every shot inside a cave so deep not a single bit of natural light gets in? Like I said, challenging.
We had tons of fun, the full video will be coming soon, we did this little adventure trailer for our ATV guide who was incredible! One of the coolest guides I have ever met. To book a once in a lifetime itinerary let JacadaTravel.com handle everything.

Some neat facts about Iceland:
Iceland, a Nordic island nation, is defined by its dramatic landscape with volcanoes, geysers, hot springs and lava fields. Massive glaciers are protected in Vatnajökull and Snæfellsjökull national parks. Most of the population lives in the capital, Reykjavik, which runs on geothermal power and is home to the National and Saga museums, tracing Iceland’s Viking history.
1. Iceland is one of two places in the world where you can see tectonic plates separate above sea level.
2. Iceland has a volcanic eruption approx. every 3 years. In total, it has over 130 active and inactive volcanoes.
3. Iceland had the first democratically elected female President and the first openly gay Prime Minister in the world.
4. Iceland is the most eco-friendly country in the world. About 85% of Iceland's energy production is from renewable sources (hydropower and geothermal)
5.The arctic fox is Iceland's only native mammal
6. The infamous Icelandic dish hákarl (shark) is poisonous when fresh, so it's fermented in the ground until safe for consumption. (it's super gross, we tried it)
7. Iceland has the most powerful waterfall in Europe
8. About 30% of Iceland is lava fields
9. Lots of people are named Thor. (seriously)
10. A large portion of Icelanders believe in the "Hidden People", or elves.(true story)
We hope you enjoyed this as much as we did, I think you will really enjoy the full film when it is released. Please subscribe to our channel and stay informed. We will do some low light shooting tips, shooting the northern lights how to videos, and some other photo/video tutorials from this trip.
Thank you to everyone!
Cheers!
