I Have Dreamed Of Photographing These New Iceland Locations for Years!
Despite having made 50+ videos about landscape photography in Iceland and shown at least one new location per video, there is still so much to explore! In this video, Sophie and I venture on an epic landscape photography adventure through Iceland. We photograph puffins at Dyrholaey, photograph the famous "Instagram" cave, also, at Dyrholaey, photograph the 2023 volcano eruption, we venture up to a secret canyon, we photograph several different glaciers, a waterfall I've wanted to visit since 2015, I fly my drone in previously unexplored locations, and we photograph beautiful cotton grass in an atmospheric scene.

“James decided to stay back and photograph trashbins” that one cracked me up

And so tongue in cheek too 😂
This episode was like a homecoming Mads, as your Iceland series is still like the gold standard of Iceland videos. Loved that Volcano image of you and Sophie, it was like you were time travellers who have journeyed back in time to witness the birth of planet earth
Having watched your videos for a few years now, I thought they were fantastic. But this goes next level for some of the big vistas. Well done and thanks for inspiring us to visit Iceland again and again…….and again 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Of all the photographers whose work I follow you're the best. Period.
Great to see Sophie again. Of course, you made her stand on the cliff edge as usual. Very brave of her. The volcano images are out of this world. And the puffins are great!
Maybe the overhead drone focus problem was severe refraction of the super hot air confusing the focus system? Loved it!
What a video! Having just returned from the Highlands with my family I now want to go back again. I loved those glacier photos Mads. So so good!!!!!
Outstanding. You were born for this. Great to see Sophie too! Congratulations.Thank you for returning to Iceland. Thank you for becoming a landscape photographer! Great images! If you follow your bliss, doors will open for you that wouldn't have opened for anyone else. - Joseph Campbell
That image with you and Sophie silhouetted in the volcanic landscape was just amazing. Gave some sense of scale to what was before you. And then the one with you both and the glacier while you were high giving. Wow, wow, wow!!! Thank you for sharing such an amazing part of the world.
KZread need a wow button for videos like this. A like does not seem enough when you enjoy a video this much.
Mads, we were in Iceland about 6 weeks ago and saw nothing like you have here. The area is EPIC. The day we left was the first eruption of the volcano by the airport. We were on a cruise and were not able to get around ourselves. (Bus tours, Golden Circle.) Really enjoyed your video and photos/videos. Well done, and look forward to others. (Side note) My whole family is Danish ancestry and going there next year. I have watched many of your videos and enjoy your commentary and obviously your photo skills. Keep producing quality like this video.
Wow you scored a home run with this one !!! What an incredible video and outstanding photographs. The photo of Sophie and yourself by the Glacier with your hands together, made my wife tear-up .

Most probably she teared up because she thought "if I only had a man like Mads..."
You are absolutely the number one landscape photographer, your work, how you compose each frame is genius, the final products always blow my mind away. Have to go for one of your workshops
2023 and I keep coming to watch this. Amazing
Glad Sophie got to join you. She made a great model. Love that you included so many great photos. Of course your video editing skills were evident by the fast moving and interesting shots and B roll.
For me, the icing on the cake was you removing that Doritos bag. It may have been accidentally left by someone, but the thought that even a place like this gets littered makes me sick. And yes, your photos are awesome, as always! 😊
What a good sport Sophie is. I love to see her in your videos. That image of you both in front of the volcano is outstanding and one you will treasure for many years to come. Thank you both. ❤❤❤❤
I was very impressed when I saw you Puffin images. I've seen zillions of Puffin photos on KZread and no one I've seen has measured up to your work...not even your good friend Nigel...who is tough to beat. Then you introduced the volcano pictures and I was totally blown away. Then the amazing shots just kept on coming. I believe I enjoyed the iceberg shots as much as I did the volcano. You are so blessed to be able to visit these locations and to have a partner like Sophie who enjoys traveling and hiking along with you. What a great adventure. Thanks for taking me along!

Awesome! There is so much to see and experience!
You're right, Mads, this one you hit out of the park! Nice to see Sophie showing up in your videos also.
Fantastic vid Mads! Truly one of the best!
The glacier footage is jaw-dropping! Very glad you picked up the litter - always leave a place better than you found it :)
Amazing video...Iceland is like a dream. I wish someday I can visit it! Love your amazing and inspiring work!
Absolutely spectacular Mads - The images and footage brought tears to my eyes. Thank You!
Wow you've really outdone yourself!!!
I was just wondering what ever happened to Sophie, as I had not seen her in a while, and only remembered her from your US National Park photography. Happy to see her still enjoying photography.

Cheers! Yeah, she's just been extremely busy with her career and some private stuff. She was also with me when we went to Gran Canaria in 2019 and when I did some videos from Denmark in 2020 :)
beautiful place... I am planning to go during september as well! hello from sydney!
Just epic photos! Beautiful!
Awesome images, and thank you for the trash removal.
Always great!
just epic... great video
Some amazing pics Mads...wow those volcano shots.
We were there around the same time as you, and got some very similar photo's ;) litli hrutur, Thakgil, Kerlingarfjoll, Klifbrekku, puffins, cotton fields. But your video made me realize I should have taken a drone with me. But the nice thing is, now I've got a reason to return.
Thanis for sharing the outstanding scenery and photography.
Stunning locations,brilliant images, thank you!
OOOOOOh Myyyyy !!!! Those shots of the Volcano are Epico......
Truely outstanding photography & entertainment. I’ll watch this again on the big TV.
Stunning images of the volcano
Absolutely magical, Mads!
Those drone shots were truly breathtaking ❤❤❤
Amazing shots and clips!! Thank you
Hi Mads . Superb !
Absolutely stunning images the volcano ones are beyond belief.
No one does Iceland better than you. 😮
That volcano shot would have been an epic engagement photo! Would have gone crazy viral too
Beautiful, amazing images and video of that volcano!
Epic Mads!!!!! Keep it up!
Amazing. ❤
Aaaaand there was me thinking I was done with Iceland for a while?! 😵💫 Awesome video, thanks Mads and Sophie!
Stunning photos and videos. Absolutely awesome footage
Surreal. Outstanding work.❤
So many stunning photos. Great work, thanks for sharing!
Outstanding. This place is definitely on my bucket list. Good work.
Awesome work
What an amazing, magical place......and some really stunning photos! I can only hope to visit one day...
Thanks for sharing again Mads. And thanks to Sophie, for making those photos look better. Stay safe 🇦🇺
For your Instagram cave, I get my “I was there” photos but, I also look for other compositions others dont
Fantastic video , drone shots of you and Sophie are amazing 👏
loved all of this. hard to pick favorites, but those abstracts!!!
Incredibile photo's from a magnificent place. Thanks for sharing
What an amazing place. Such great photos. Love this, Mads
Such epic landscape. Just loved your experience. Images were out of this world. Totally fabulous. Many thanks to you and to Sophie. xxx
Fabulous video and gorgeou gorgeous photos! Top drawer!
I’m going back to Iceland on early November and that waterfall is on my bucket list since I ‘discovered’ it accidentally while planning the trip. I recognized it immediately. That whole area is a goldmine and full of hidden gems.
Fantastic video.
Absolutely stunning video and stills. I've been enjoying your videos for a while now but in my opinion you've really stepped up the quality recently - perhaps its the longer running times and truly epic locations!
Wahou ! yes this is definitely the best of your videos ! Thanks for sharing these megnificent pictures of the volcano :)
Mads came out with so many incredible photos. Amazing
Some of your most striking work that I truly enjoyed watching.
Excellent!
Awesome Video!!!
Wow awesome video! I love the waterfalls and the shots of the volcano and the flowing lava was just mind boggling. I like puffins too and would love to see one up close. You managed some amazing shots of these little guys.
Absolutly love this video 😍🥰
All I can think of to say is WOW!
Fantastic 🎉🎉🎉
Amazing images and your videos are so beautiful. Your shots of the volcano makes one realize how the earth is ever changing and evolving.
Insanely good Mads! Incredible video footage and awesome images - top work; you're a legend 😊
Mads, thanks for another great video. Your earlier set of Iceland videos inspired my 2019 Iceland trip. This one compels me to go again. My favorite shot from this video is the awesome shot of the glacier from the drone.
amazing video! Makes me want to go back!
I was along when the old video was released. Amazing! :D
Best yet Mads ! The glacier and volcano 🌋 shots ……wow I’m jealous ! Love the drone zoom compression shots as well ! 👏👏👏

Thank you so much, Art! I really appreciate you saying that because I have poured my heart and soul into this one!
Incredible images and video content!
Great shots from great locations. My favorite is the flowing lava. I've always liked shots of active volcanoes.
Your creative eye is always impressive. My favorite youtube photographer.
Mads, you out-did yourself with this one. What an EPIC video!! Agree with other comments that the glacier images are over the top. Well done & thank you!
I am impressed on so many levels this video! ❤

As always Mads, absolutely stunning!!! Nothing more to say.... 👍👍👍 I hope, that I come back to Iceland next year.... 😊
Inspiring.
We finally got to Iceland 4 years after our original booking. Epic! “James stayed back to photo trash cans” ha ha. And you prefer the tamron 50-400 to Sony 200-600 plus something for wide shots?
@MadsPeterIversen

Haha! He did 😅 - in regard to lenses, yes absolutely, not sure I'd benefit much from the 200-600 unless it's for wildlife.
The undisputed King of EPIC! 👍🏻
I can't look at a puffin without thinking of that meme ripping off the dance track, "every day I'm pufflin" 😄
Just wondering, is James still composing the trash bins? You kinda left me hanging. I just can’t wait to see his video. The shots including your partner, Sophie, we’re inspiring for me. I plan to try this more with my wife during our travels. I’ve posed her in landscapes a couple of times but with more emphasis on her than the landscape ie. big in the frame. I love the way you position Sophie to emphasize the grand scale of your shots. Thank you.

Thanks a lot, Brian! My estimated guess is his video will be there soon, although don't know if he actually made one.
Beautiful 🥰
I found a great little spot for puffins in the north when I was out there in July, managed plenty of lfight shots of the birds coming in with beaks full of sandeels and some sitting shots with the midnight sun behind them.
That waterfall looks amazing

I've had it on my mind for like 8 years! 😅 - the road down there was quite long and gravel though!
I absolutely LOVE your videos! Thanks so much for all your hard work and great lessons. Are you planning to add the 'That Waterfall' to your Iceland Map? I've downloaded it and super excited to use it for our trip in 2 weeks.
It looks absolutely stunning, would love to go and visit the volcanoes
I love puffins ❤
