During summer 2016 and 2019 I visited Iceland with my wife Ditta. We traveled in our own 4x4 Toyota Hilux with camper unit. Filming above and under water is my passion, sea-life while diving, nature, travel, 4x4 driving with our Toyota Hilux with camper unit. Iceland made a very big impression and we are planning to spend more time on Iceland.In 2019 we guided a group of 8 Iceland prepared 4wd throu the Highlands tacking Froads and unmarked tracks. In 2016 I stared aerial filming with a drone, I filmed the beautiful region around my home in Holland. I started to make video clips in 2013. During time I have improved my filming and editing. I film a variety of issues underwater, on land and from the air. I try to use creative common music as much as possible.

Day 2 & 3 of 3 week Iceland trip

Follow me and my wife on a 3 week trip of Iceland! Day 2 in Iceland From Ásbyrgi we went en route to Reykjahlið. (159 km) It was a very cold and wet day. At Húsavík we visited the Whale Museum. It gave a great explanation of all the different types of whales and the history of Whaling on Iceland. In 2006 Iceland resumed Commercial whaling, mainly exported to Japan. The toxin rate of whale meat is high, especially Dioxine. Historically Whaling was important for Iceland, but I am strongly against the killing of whales. Today mostly foreign visitors are Whale-meat consumers. After visit

Day 1 of 3 Week Road Trip in Iceland

From Seyðisfjörður to Ásbyrgi, 223 km The Ferry trip from Denmark to Iceland was comfortable, 2 relaxing days. We passed close by the Shetland Islands and made a short stop at the Faroe islands. We arrived in the morning at Seydisfjordur and were lucky to leave the boat with the first vehicles. We drove to Egilsstadir to do some shopping. And as we are used to buying water bottles in southern Europe, we did so here. As we left the shop a local man told us “buying water in Iceland is like buying sunshine in Spain” This was the last water we bought. We took road 1 Direction West, and made

Iceland trip 1, preparation

During a diving holiday in Egypt I got a text-message from my wife Ditta: "Next year for our summer holiday we go to Iceland". This was November 2015; back home I joined in the preparation she had already started. December 2015 I tried booking a ferry from Hirtshals Denmark to Iceland, with the car. It didn’t work, it said no place available. After a call I still got a ferry booking. From now on things got serious. Ditta was preparing our own road book, with everything she could find on the internet. I started watching almost every available YouTube film on river crossing on Iceland.
