Incredible Dragon’s Eye View of Stunning Pictures Game of Thrones locations

The most spectacular drone footage has captured the unbelievable natural beauty of Game of Thrones locations from above. The majestic dragon’s eye views show a geyser shooting water high into the air in Iceland as well as the intricate patterns the land makes when looked at from a bird eye view. It's no small wonder in this spectacular landscape as implausible pictures show the contrast of the ash grey volcanic land against the lush green countryside. The Russian photographer took the pictures and videos in Norway and Iceland. The 26 year old photographer Dmitry Bubonets, took the stunning images in both countries, where locations are extremely beautiful, stunning fjords, mountains, and waterfalls captivate the heart of nature beauty.

The jaw-dropping experience is amazing when you are watching black sand beaches, nature without trees and stunning waterfalls. However, the mind-blowing landscape is not totally from this Earth. There are seemingly more volcanoes in Iceland than people! And that moss is so green compared to the gloomy cloudy weather outside that you may think that everything is Photoshopped.' The photographer used a DJI Phantom 4 drone to shoot the footage, ran into some problems due to the bad weather in Scandinavia, very windy indeed. Hence, as for piloting, you should be careful because of the wind once again. It won't turn your drone upside down, but once the wind was so strong that full throttle on my drone was only 0.2 meters/second when it should be around 24. Although the wind was much stronger close to the ground and I positively returned to the starting point. The talented Bubonets expectation is that his footage can motivate people to travel to parts of the world they wouldn't otherwise consider.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Kerið Crater, A Volcanic Crater Lake in Iceland

Kerið is a volcanic crater lake located in the Grimsnes area in South Iceland. It is also known as Kerith or Kerid, a popular tourist attraction due to scenic route Golden Circle. There’re number of crater lakes in the Iceland’s Western Volcanic Zone, which includes Reykjanes Peninsula and The Langjökull Glacier. It is one of several crater lakes in the area, known as Iceland's Western Volcanic Zone, which includes the Reykjanes peninsula and the created as the land moved over a localized hotspot, but it is the one that has the most visually recognizable caldera still intact. This is a 55 m deep explosion crater that harbours a small green lake in the Grímsnes region, filled with water; steep circular slopes resemble an ancient Amphitheatre. The crater is nearly 3000 years old, often displaying intense colors. The caldera is well composed of a red and black volcanic rock. The caldera is approximately 180 feet deep, 560 feet wide, and 890 feet across. Kerið’s caldera is one of the three most recognizable volcanic craters. However, the other two surrounding volcanic are Seyðishólar and Kerhóll half the age of this.

While most of the crater is steep-walled with little vegetation, one wall is sloped more gently and blanketed with a deep moss, and can be descended fairly easily. The fairly shallow lake approximately is seven to ten meters deep, but mainly depending upon rainfall and other factors.  However, the other minerals from the soil, is an opaque and strikingly vivid aquamarine. Researchers originally thought that Kerið is formed by a massive volcanic explosion, though no evidence found to proof such an explosion in Kerið. Therefore, currently it is believed that Kerið was a cone volcano which was erupted and emptied its magma reserve. Hence once the magma was depleted, the weight of cone collapsed into empty magma chamber. So, the existing pool of water at the bottom of the crater is at the same level as the water table and is not caused by rainfall. The stunning beauty of Kerid Crater Lake proves that Southern Iceland is not all about ice and fire. This is one of most amazing photograph landscape protected from weathering, the jagged rocks and fissures of the walls stand in sharp contrast to the gentle rolling landscape nearby. The best way to see Kerid crater is to travel along a popular tourist route called the Golden Circle, a 300-kilometer loop that covers the most amazing natural sites in southern Iceland. Moreover, fish probably don’t live there, but there are zooplanktons and you can stand at the top of the crater and look down at the eerie calm of the lake below.

The sides of the crater are really steep but a few daring tourists always decide to climb down to the depths. Well, if you climb down into the crater, then please be careful since it was moderately difficult to navigate way to the bottom. Thus, once you get to the bottom, you can stand by the lake and observe how the sides of the crater create a cocoon for sound. The wind and nearby road are silenced by the natural walls of the crater. The bottom of the crater feels peaceful with the quiet and static water. It was definitely a meditative location.  But the really difficult part is getting back up the 55 meters to the top again. Kerid Crater is a quirky little stop-off and great because it’s not busy like the other attractions on the Golden Circle.

Iceland Staggering Blue Crystal Ice Cave

Well, by seeing the stunning picture of Iceland Staggering Blue Ice Cave, you must feel that this would be out of this world where no two days are ever the same. Iceland is the incredible changing landscapes of one of the world's most beautiful countries. Explorer “Helen Björnsdóttir” who is from Reykjavik,works as an ice cave expert - assessing the safety of the caves before leading tourists inside but also takes stunning photos herself. Therefore, she has exposed these photographs of the caves that never look the same two days in a row. She said, what attracts me to ice caves is how unique they’re the feeling to enter the glacier and being surrounded by the glacier ice is an incredible feeling. When I look the blue colors and ever changing forms and shape of the ice caves also astonish me. Moreover, that you enter an ice cave and you know that it will not be there next year and you have new ice caves to explore.

Further, before I moved here I had no interest in photography but when I became an ice cave guide, I just couldn't resist taking pictures. For me, it’s quite a complicated art.  Although, the ice caves are very dangerous and there’s often a lot of work to be done on the ice caves before we can take travelers near them, like chipping the thin ice away from the ceilings. Moreover, we have also had to move boulders from the glacier above the entrance to make sure they don't roll down and block us in. We’ve to do this every day just because a cave is safe one day, it doesn't mean that it will be the next day. The way the water melts can make a cave very unsafe very fast.'Source: Charismatic Planet

EYLENDA - Iceland 4K

We were studying Audiovisual Media at the Stuttgart Media University in Germany.For our semester filmproject we have been fortunate enough to spend 14 days filming in Iceland. Our desire was to capture that remarkable landscape and wildlife to take you on a journey through this magical island. This film wouldn´t exist without the magnificent help and support of our sponsors, our university and a lot of other people who took part and supported us in any kind of way. Thanks a lot and cheers!

Iceland’s Breathtaking Beauty Show off the Most Amazing Scenery in the World

From an eye-popping waterfall to a “petrified troll” in the sea, remarkable pictures reveal the magic of Iceland's rugged and stunning landscapes and that’s why the Iceland remains high on numerous holidaymakers' bucket lists. Moreover, with exquisite detail, a 60 years old tourist/photographer “Wim Denijs” captured most beautiful scenes that show fog rolling over mountains, water sweeping over the “Godafoss falls”, and a peaceful day on the water is surrounding the magnificent “Hvítserkur”, a 50ft basalt rock on the Vatnsnes peninsula. The photographer has been drawn to Iceland's exclusive landscapes ever since the 2010 eruptions of “Eyjafjallajokull”.

The natural volcanic eruption formed a gigantic ash cloud that shut almost entire Europe's airspace, grounding over 100,000 flights and ruining millions of holidays. I was so excited to discover Iceland in different way in 2010 after the eruption of the “Eyjafjallajokull” and there I really feel how small and fragile we are. We’ve no value / power, but nature is so powerful and beautiful. The creation is extremely marvelous and I’m really found of Iceland now. I saw the stunning beauty there, when melting of the glaciers, the power of nature and I became more and more a landscape-photographer. Therefore, it is very striking feel, when you are standing in the middle of a river and you see that everything's in harmony and the shapes of the mountains, the flood of the water and the colors of the sky. The God has created all these things with their power and authority.

After that I had visited Iceland 7 times since 2010, but still discovering astonishing sights. My favorite photograph is the pains of the “Vestrahorn” actually very imposing mountain in the south-east of the country. I'm particularly intrigued by culture, color and lights, including a photographic study of landscape and people's lives. I could look at a line of laundry flapping in the wind, a pair of old, hard-working couple, a crowd of people on the street, and find it very attractive. Through taking pictures I want to tell everyone that no matter what no-one is alone no one is forgotten in this world. We’re all human being belonging to nature no matter what political decisions are made.

World’s Largest Man-Made Ice Tunnel in Langjokull Glacier, Iceland

The world’s largest man-made ice tunnel was in recent times dug out on the western slopes in Iceland Langjokull. This is one of the biggest glaciers in Iceland, and the tunnel and cave system spreads mover than 550 meters into solid glacier ice at around 30 meters below the surface making it the largest man made ice structure in the world. This distinctive project, supported by the Icelandair Group and leading pension funds, will allow tourists to have a unique opportunity to see how snow is slowly compressed to become glacier ice.

Well, Aptly named “Into the Glacier”, the experience is the brainchild of two Icelandic adventure tour operators – “Baldvin Einarsson” and “Hallgrímur Örn Arngrímsson”, who wanted to take tourists into the heart of the amazing glacier ice cap, to grasp the magnificent “blue ice” which is buried deep beneath the surface. Work on the cave started in 2010, and completed early in the year of 2015. However, it was official opened for visitors on 1st June 2015. Though it’s meant mainly to be a tourist attraction, the tunnel will also be used by researchers and students at the University of Iceland to measure ice movements over time.

Therefore, to the journey to the ice tunnel starts off with an impressive trip in 8-wheel monster trucks to the entrance of the cave, which is placed 1,200 meters above sea level. From there tourists are taken on foot on an hour-long tour exploring the tunnel where they’ll see crevasses, moulins, running water, ice layers and space between them, diverse types of snow and ice, and how the glacier evolves. Moreover, the led lighted walls inside the tunnels are sheer-carved and hollowed out at numerous intervals along the tunnel to house educational exhibitions and deliver information on the science of glaciers and the effects of global warming. There’s even a small chapel where couples can get married. The tourist attraction is expected to stay open all throughout the year.
