This video is part two of our holiday in Iceland in December 2023. It covers the two days on the 24th Dec and Christmas Day itself (25th Dec).
On the 24th we were moving hotels and there had been quite a covering of snow overnight, so we decided to not drive too far. We looked on Google maps and found a couple of waterfalls that we had never visited so decided to go there. Really glad we did as both locations were very pretty and as they were much less known that your typical places it meant I could fly the drone to get some drone shots.
The weather by this point was lovely, with the Sun out and blue skies, which always looks fantastic when you have some fresh snow. The first location we stopped at was the Ægissíðufoss Waterfall. I flew the drone to capture some aerial shots and took photos as we walked around. We then made our way to another nearby waterfall. The second waterfall was actually very close by, which was Arbaejarfoss. Both of these waterfalls are really easy to get to, and not far from the main road near Hella.
On Christmas Day, we decided to drive to Gullfoss as they definitely have the best Hot Chocolate in the world, and as it was Christmas, we thought we deserved a treat :)
The weather was stunning again, with clear skies and fresh snow. On the way we passed by a little place called Faxi where we knew there is a pretty waterfall. You normally have to pay to stop here, but as it was Christmas it was FREE to go in... Bonus!!! :) We had a lovely walk around and flew the drone again to get some aerial shots of the waterfall and an interesting sheep pen just next to the waterfall area.
From there we continued our drive to Gullfoss, but made a little stop close to Geysir. I would love to fly the drone around Geysir, but drones are banned there so I stopped a little way away to get some wider shots from a safe area. I was pleased that I did manage to just about catch Strokkur going off, even if it was from a bit of a distance.
We spent some time at Gullfoss, taking pictures and enjoying the breathtaking scenery. It was as amazing and incredible as ever, and yes, that Hot Chocolate was fantastic. The weather was great but although it was only around -5c, there was a biting Northerly wind which was quickly cooling us down.
After we had finished our Hot Chocolate, we had a nice drive back to our hotel where we spent a relaxing evening, and awaited the snow storm that we knew was on it's way.
All in all, a fantastic couple of days and it was so lovely to actually see a lovely covering of snow on Christmas Day. Our first proper White Christmas ever!!!
