Videographer Ólafur Már Björnsson has just published a stunning video diary from a hike in the central highlands. It follows a group of locals visiting some of the most spectacular destinations within Vatnajökull glacier National Park.
The footage is shot from the ground and also from above with a drone creating a beautiful perspective.
Among places the hikers visit are Hvannalindir oasis in the Lindahraun lavafield, the mountain range Kverkfjöll (1,764 m/5,787 ft), located in the northeast corner of Vatnajökull glacier, the neighbouring Hveradalur geothermal area and the new Holuhraun lava field, north of the glacier.
