Hafdís Huld - Ski Jumper
The most wonderfully budget music video I’ve seen. It’s not really a video actually. Hafdís filmed this video mainly in around the Kleifarvatn lake, just outside Reykjavík, the same place that Top Gear drove on water with a slightly higher budget.
Here’s Richard Hammond from Top Gear (suckingalemonn’s twin) reviewing icelandic extreme sports that mock Jesus Christ. I think this is a must-see.
This is Kleifarvatn where today’s earthquakes have originated. A lot of activity has occurred in this area recently. The whole area sank down by 3cm in a few earthquakes, then rose up again. The surface of the lake dropped way down in a few days, then rose up again.

Lake Kleifarvatn is a lake not far from Reykjavík. It lies in a very volcanic area and has lots of hot springs boiling in and around it. A few years ago a fissure (crack) opened up under the lake and drained a good deal of the lake instantly. I think it has grown back to its original size though.
Legend says that it is connected by an underground tunnel to the Lagarfljót river by Egilsstaðir in east Iceland. The monstrous worm seen occasionally in both places is therefor the same beast.

The most interesting pictures from Iceland. Photos of Reykjavík, photos of Icelandic People, pictures of Icelandic Nature and Iceland Travel.
I'm heavily affiliated with Iceland and proud of it. Lived most of my life in Iceland but spent enough time abroad to truly appreciate Iceland's uniqueness.
