SOBREVIVIENDO 7 días de TORMENTA en una VAN | ISLANDIA — Transcript

Full transcript

1. 0:00No, no, no, this is crazy,
2. 0:01I mean the car is taking me away.
3. 0:03We don't know what happened!
4. 0:04You may be wondering,
5. 0:05how did I get here?
6. 0:07Well, let's take a look.
7. 0:10In this video we are going to be looking for one of the most incredible natural phenomena
8. 0:12in the world.
9. 0:14But this task is going to be much more difficult than we think.
10. 0:17All the roads are blocked, and now I don't know what we are going to do.
11. 0:22Since I fell in love with photography when I was very young,
12. 0:25there was a kind of image that seemed unreal to me.
13. 0:28A kind of line on the night canvas
14. 0:31that amazed anyone who saw it.
15. 0:33The famous call...
16. 0:34Aurora Borealis
17. 0:36But there was a specific image
18. 0:38that caught my attention.
19. 0:40I had to see it with my own eyes.
20. 0:42For that we look for a no less impressive country,
21. 0:45Iceland,
22. 0:47home of contrasts,
23. 0:48of ice and fire.
24. 0:52The time has come to make it a reality,
25. 0:54work hard
26. 0:55and travel to fulfill that dream.
27. 1:00At our first stop we went to meet Jimmy,
28. 1:03a local who knows every part of the island.
29. 1:06He recommended that we start the adventure in the north of the country
30. 1:09since there was going to be a strong storm
31. 1:10that was going to impact the southern area.
32. 1:12The idea is to complete a perfect circle
33. 1:14to have a better chance of capturing our image.
34. 1:18But our adventure was missing only one thing
35. 1:21: our four-wheeled house.
36. 1:24Prepared with special tires in case of snow,
37. 1:26inside a living room
38. 1:28with a refrigerator, cooking utensils
39. 1:31and a table to transform the space into an office.
40. 1:34Plugs to connect our cameras
41. 1:36and even heating to spend the night very cozy.
42. 1:40Oh, and all of this is also powered by solar panels.
43. 1:43An armchair that becomes a bed with extreme ease
44. 1:46and last but not least,
45. 1:48a navigation system
46. 1:49to keep an eye on the weather and the auroras.
47. 1:52The truth is that we can't complain
48. 1:54- Not bad, eh?
49. 1:55- It's good.
50. 1:57And so we began our trip around the island,
51. 1:59heading north
52. 2:00in search of fulfilling that dream.
53. 2:07But now we are faced with the challenging task
54. 2:09of finding the auroras.
55. 2:12There are certain things that have to happen
56. 2:14for this phenomenon to occur.
57. 2:15There are two types of Aurora,
58. 2:17there is the Aurora Borealis
59. 2:18like the one we have here in the north in Iceland
60. 2:20and there is also the Aurora Austral, which is represented in the south.
61. 2:24In Argentina we have it, but it is in Antarctica
62. 2:26and it is very difficult to get to.
63. 2:27But how is this effect generated, these colors?
64. 2:30Well basically when the solar wind comes
65. 2:32it comes with electrons and protons
66. 2:34and penetrates the magnetic field
67. 2:35making these colors shine and
68. 2:38dance in an absolutely incredible way.
69. 2:40But for Viking culture
70. 2:42that means a manifestation of the gods.
71. 2:44And yes, personally I think I believe that theory more
72. 2:46because it is incredible. Imagine at that time
73. 2:49seeing those Wah! colored rays in the sky,
74. 2:51it must be crazy.
75. 2:52So let's hope we get lucky this trip,
76. 2:55which I'm sure will happen,
77. 2:56I'm sure.
78. 2:57But there are other factors that must also be taken into account.
79. 2:59First, there has to be a place without lighting
80. 3:01and another thing is that there have to be no clouds.
81. 3:03And here we have an application
82. 3:04of how the weather changes hour by hour,
83. 3:06where it will be,
84. 3:07what parts of the island will be clear,
85. 3:09which are very covered in clouds,
86. 3:11it is very difficult to see them.
87. 3:12So in the end
88. 3:13it basically becomes a hunt,
89. 3:14you have to go see where there is a clear spot
90. 3:17and drive there
91. 3:18to get a chance to see it.
92. 3:21So it's not completely safe,
93. 3:23but hey, anything can happen.
94. 3:31Iceland is also called
95. 3:32"Land of Volcanoes"
96. 3:34since it is located between two tectonic plates
97. 3:36that separate America from Eurasia.
98. 3:39And as it is constantly moving,
99. 3:41it becomes a point with the most volcanic activity
100. 3:44in the world.
101. 3:46Today our chances of seeing auroras are very few
102. 3:48due to the completely cloudy sky.
103. 3:50Let's hope things improve tomorrow.
104. 3:57Well, we just woke up
105. 3:58and we were greeted with this incredible surprise
106. 4:01that everything is covered in snow.
107. 4:03Us trying to escape the southern storm.
108. 4:05So well, these are things that happen.
109. 4:07It's still beautiful outside,
110. 4:08but there is a wind that you can't even get out of.
111. 4:10I was checking the weather and the conditions of the route
112. 4:14and it seems that the northern route is closed.
113. 4:17Everything that is red there says that there is a lot of ice
114. 4:19and that you cannot pass through.
115. 4:21So well, we are left here half stranded.
116. 4:23It wasn't the idea.
117. 4:24So in a little while we're going to wash our things,
118. 4:26prepare breakfast and continue on our trip.
119. 4:29The wind is quite strong,
120. 4:31but we made the decision to continue forward.
121. 4:34Well, we have already started the route
122. 4:35but as you can see,
123. 4:36there is snow in front,
124. 4:38there is a lot of wind,
125. 4:39we are going to go very calmly,
126. 4:40because it is quite slippery.
127. 4:42You have to have a lot of respect for nature here,
128. 4:44let's hope we get there now.
129. 4:47Oh Lord!
130. 4:48I mean, there is so much wind that I can't even open
131. 4:52the door.
132. 4:53I'm afraid it will blow me away.
133. 4:55Oh, no!
134. 4:56And the truth is that things didn't look any better.
135. 4:59There are more than 70 kilometers of wind.
136. 5:02Oops!
137. 5:10Well, we had to stop here about in the middle of the road,
138. 5:13a car just passed and took another one
139. 5:15that was ahead with a tow truck,
140. 5:17we don't know what happened.
141. 5:18I mean, there are some snowflakes
142. 5:20that the truth is, I don't know if they are snowflakes
143. 5:22or if they are completely like ice.
144. 5:24Imagine that now it is between 70 and 100 km per hour of wind,
145. 5:29which is why it is very dangerous.
146. 5:31I mean, there really are many things
147. 5:32that can be turned around.
148. 5:33We just met two Spaniards
149. 5:34who told us that they saw a container
150. 5:36passing in front of them,
151. 5:37so it's quite dangerous,
152. 5:38which is why the weather is taken quite seriously here.
153. 5:41It all depends on the weather.
154. 5:42We check hour by hour to see how it's going,
155. 5:44that's why we made the decision to continue, but...
156. 5:46I mean, we didn't know, we didn't think
157. 5:48that this was going to happen, really.
158. 5:50- Untrue?
159. 5:50- Yeah.
160. 5:52Although the wind and snow did not stop,
161. 5:54we could not stop enjoying
162. 5:55the white landscape
163. 5:56that we had in this northern part of Iceland.
164. 6:00Crazy!
165. 6:19Well people, we have good news and bad news.
166. 6:22The good news is that there is no more wind,
167. 6:24there is not so much storm,
168. 6:26it has cleared up a bit and there is a good forecast for today.
169. 6:29The bad news is that it's still snowing,
170. 6:31so I don't think we'll have any aurora.
171. 6:34So we're going to have to continue east
172. 6:36to see what we find.
173. 6:38It's snowing heavily.
174. 6:39But don't get me wrong,
175. 6:40I mean, I love snow,
176. 6:41but right now
177. 6:43when we have to drive
178. 6:45and everything is frozen,
179. 6:46it makes things much more complicated.
180. 6:48But we have faith that this evening
181. 6:50it will clear completely
182. 6:53and we will be able to see the auroras.
183. 6:56Well,
184. 6:56we have just arrived at the famous Goðafoss
185. 6:59but it has to do with the fact that it is covered in snow,
186. 7:01I never thought I would see it like this.
187. 7:05Goðafoss is one of the
188. 7:07most culturally significant waterfalls in Iceland.
189. 7:10Its meaning
190. 7:11"Waterfall of the Gods"
191. 7:14Well, we got back into the car.
192. 7:16It's snowing a lot.
193. 7:18I mean, there's a tremendous storm.
194. 7:20Which is quite annoying
195. 7:21because nothing can be done
196. 7:22everywhere we go.
197. 7:24It's snowing a lot.
198. 7:25We don't know what to do, the truth
199. 7:26is...
200. 7:29Let's see what happens,
201. 7:30the roads are still blocked.
202. 7:32You can't move forward.
203. 7:33So you have to be patient.
204. 7:35At these times you have to be patient.
205. 7:46The storm didn't let us see anything.
206. 7:48So we decided to go into this service station
207. 7:50to get some shelter from the wind
208. 7:52and reassess the situation.
209. 7:56With these conditions
210. 7:57it was very difficult to continue with our trip.
211. 7:59There were cars completely covered in snow
212. 8:01and we had to make a decision.
213. 8:05Well, change of plans.
214. 8:06As you saw,
215. 8:07this is what it looks like outside.
216. 8:08There is no time when you can go outside,
217. 8:11do something.
218. 8:12We had a lot of things to do.
219. 8:13Places to visit and more here in the north.
220. 8:15But it seems like it's not going to happen.
221. 8:17So let's head south,
222. 8:19southeast.
223. 8:20Let's see what the weather is like there
224. 8:21and try to look for the aurora tonight.
225. 8:23I hope it improves,
226. 8:24because there are many, many clouds.
227. 8:27All the landscape we see is white.
228. 8:29We drove about four hours
229. 8:31east of the country so we could recharge
230. 8:33and look for some food.
231. 8:34However, we continued a little further
232. 8:36thinking it was going to be clear.
233. 8:38But the route did not reveal anything.
234. 8:40It was completely dangerous.
235. 8:42- It's crazy how much snow there is,
236. 8:44you can't see anything at all.
237. 8:51Well,
238. 8:51we moved about half an hour
239. 8:54to a new place
240. 8:55to find a clear sky.
241. 8:57According to the forecast, it was going to be clear
242. 9:00and it's not getting very foggy either.
243. 9:02It's going to be a long night,
244. 9:03we're going to stay here
245. 9:04and we hope that
246. 9:05they will show up today.
247. 9:07We're cooking something
248. 9:08and we're going to see what happens.
249. 9:09There is quite a bit of wind.
250. 9:10It's a little scary,
251. 9:11but everything will be fine.
252. 9:13I hope so.
253. 9:14Oh no, because I'm already sad.
254. 9:16I'm sad to see nothing.
255. 9:19But that's nature,
256. 9:20that's mother earth.
257. 9:22So you have to understand.
258. 9:27Well yesterday we were ringing bells
259. 9:29until four in the morning
260. 9:31and nothing happened.
261. 9:31So as a reward we have this breakfast.
262. 9:34We have granola with protein here.
263. 9:36Greek yogurt, strawberry, blueberries.
264. 9:39Let's make coffee with milk.
265. 9:41- That's lovely.
266. 9:41- Yes, very delicious
267. 9:42- Colombian coffee.
268. 9:45This day gave us hope,
269. 9:47to see and enjoy a different Iceland.
270. 9:50Well,
271. 9:51we are passing through the East Fjords
272. 9:53and I can't stop thinking about Walter Mitty's little towns,
273. 9:56which are just like these.
274. 9:58Wow!
275. 9:59what tranquility.
276. 10:02Oh, how nice a little coffee would be this time.
277. 10:05While we delight
278. 10:06in this landscape,
279. 10:07we were looking for the music for this video
280. 10:09with today's sponsor,
281. 10:10which is "Arlist."
282. 10:11Arlist seems to me to be a perfect platform
283. 10:13for all creators who are looking for
284. 10:15different types of tools.
285. 10:17The music I use in my videos
286. 10:18is licensed so I can use it for my projects,
287. 10:20on networks or for clients.
288. 10:22Likewise,
289. 10:23if I have to use stock images
290. 10:24that I couldn't record on this trip,
291. 10:26Arlist has it all.
292. 10:27And something I prioritize a lot
293. 10:29as a creator is optimization.
294. 10:30And finding all this kind of stuff in one place is
295. 10:33really priceless
296. 10:34and makes me spend more time filming
297. 10:36and less time editing.
298. 10:38Likewise,
299. 10:38the sound effects that I use to give life to my videos
300. 10:41come from the same platform.
301. 10:46The truth is that it is a package
302. 10:47that every creator needs in their arsenal.
303. 10:50Arlist
304. 10:51has all kinds of subscriptions
305. 10:52for people who want to make videos for social media,
306. 10:55as well as for clients, whatever.
307. 10:57Subscribe with the link
308. 10:58I leave below and you have two extra months free.
309. 11:01So thank you very much Arlist for sponsoring this video
310. 11:04and we continue with the trip,
311. 11:06now we are cooking.
312. 11:07Following the eastern route
313. 11:08we find one of the most famous beaches
314. 11:11that you see on Instagram and so on.
315. 11:12It is a black sand beach.
316. 11:14Look what this is, we are walking here.
317. 11:17One thing must be said is that Nati is having a very bad time because of the cold.
318. 11:21It was cold, yes,
319. 11:22but she is suffering especially.
320. 11:24I mean, it was cold
321. 11:25and we mean minus 11 degrees.
322. 11:27Yeah, it's not like it looks dramatic, no.
323. 11:29Something that caught my attention
324. 11:31is that at 1:30 p.m.
325. 11:34it looks like it's sunset.
326. 11:35In other words, it's not that you go out and have less hours of light,
327. 11:38but that the hours of light you have
328. 11:40are like a kind of golden hour,
329. 11:41like in the morning or in the evening.
330. 11:43Which makes it quite special.
331. 11:44Look at the joy we have.
332. 11:46Who do we come across?
333. 11:47Expensive!
334. 11:48What a thrill!
335. 11:51How do you say, záparo?
336. 11:52- Set sail
337. 11:53- Ah set sail, haha.
338. 11:54Welcome to Stokksnes, in the south of Iceland.
339. 11:57Wow!
340. 12:02We have southern time all to ourselves in this place.
341. 12:06How beautiful Iceland is.
342. 12:07Now it is showing us another side,
343. 12:08perhaps without so much storm, more calm.
344. 12:13What beautiful days are coming!
345. 12:38Today's morning is going to be very special.
346. 12:40We are about to enter
347. 12:42the largest glacier in Europe.
348. 12:45Imagine how similar this place is to the moon
349. 12:48; on the first expedition to the moon,
350. 12:50the United States came to train here for 3 months.
351. 12:53And all the training about the equipment,
352. 12:55everything was done in this same place.
353. 12:57This place in the past was an oasis,
354. 12:59which was quite good
355. 13:01for agriculture.
356. 13:02A lot of corn was harvested.
357. 13:04But what the residents who were here did not know
358. 13:07is that there was a very large volcano next door.
359. 13:10And at one point it exploded, it was something similar to Pompeii.
360. 13:13And he left this sea of ​​stones and ice.
361. 13:17There the icebergs formed,
362. 13:19the glaciers formed and they left us all this.
363. 13:23I am putting on the crampons
364. 13:25that are necessary to be able to walk on the ice.
365. 13:28It was blowing all the volcanic ash
366. 13:30onto the ice,
367. 13:31that's why it has that dark appearance,
368. 13:34it will wash away with the rain.
369. 13:36There are certain parts that are very transparent
370. 13:38and I can see all the ice below.
371. 13:40My mouth is already freezing.
372. 13:42Look what this cave is.
373. 13:44You have to go down step by step
374. 13:45because it is very slippery.
375. 13:48-What is your name?
376. 13:49-Natalia
377. 13:50-Natalia, be careful eh
378. 13:51-Yes
379. 13:51-Don't run.
380. 13:53We are in the "Blue Diamond"
381. 13:55a glacial cavern cave
382. 13:56here in Vatnajökull,
383. 13:57Europe's largest glacier.
384. 13:59Wow, there are some kind of waterfalls inside the glacier.
385. 14:03But this is a completely different landscape,
386. 14:05it's like out of this world.
387. 14:08That thing above that you can see is blue, that
388. 14:10is, it is not the color of the ice,
389. 14:11but rather it is the reflection of the sky
390. 14:13because basically this is
391. 14:1596% water 4% oxygen , so that is why that color that is
392. 14:19so characteristic of the glacier
393. 14:21is generated. It's blue,
394. 14:23but it looks incredible from down here,
395. 14:25crazy.
396. 14:29And for people who like the movies
397. 14:31here where they film the "Interstellar" scene
398. 14:33when the spaceship arrives
399. 14:34and the whole place is as if it were ice,
400. 14:37it is exactly in this same place.
401. 14:39The experience was
402. 14:40very very good.
403. 14:41I mean, I think it's something you have to do once in your life.
404. 14:44If you can and if you have the opportunity,
405. 14:46choose to go at a time very early in the morning
406. 14:49where there are not so many tourists,
407. 14:50because the truth is that personally
408. 14:52it becomes less special,
409. 14:53but that cave is incredible.
410. 14:58Our trip is coming to an end and the weather didn't let us do anything.
411. 15:01Also the cloud forecast for the south of the island
412. 15:03It is not favorable.
413. 15:04So being locked up there
414. 15:06is frustrating.
415. 15:14Well, now we are on the famous black sand beach,
416. 15:17as some call it:
417. 15:18"The beach that swallows people."
418. 15:20Because it is quite violent
419. 15:21, that is, there are people who come close to watch when it arrives
420. 15:24and the tide rises and sometimes carries them away.
421. 15:27It's good to stay there watching people being eaten
422. 15:29but be careful because it's dangerous.
423. 15:30That is, if they come here.
424. 15:32All you see here are basalt stones
425. 15:35that a long time ago, as I had told you before,
426. 15:36were volcanoes.
427. 15:38In other words, when there was this explosion,
428. 15:39all these stones were generated in the shape of arrows,
429. 15:42which makes it very interesting, which is why this beach is so famous.
430. 15:45-Are you going to take a tourist photo?
431. 15:47-Yes even in the basalt.
432. 15:52And so came our last day of the trip.
433. 15:55The hopes and chances were very low.
434. 15:58However,
435. 15:59the landscapes overwhelmed us with so much beauty.
436. 16:02But the truth is we are returning home
437. 16:04with a bitter taste as if something was missing.
438. 16:08Well I have to be completely honest.
439. 16:10I can't believe it.
440. 16:11In other words, we came from the north
441. 16:13with all that storm,
442. 16:14that snow and now the south is storming too.
443. 16:17Of rain.
444. 16:18Rain!
445. 16:19Well maybe Gastón had already told me
446. 16:21that the plans depend on what nature wants.
447. 16:24And here we are confirming it
448. 16:26so we have to adapt to what is happening.
449. 16:29You have to adapt to the climates,
450. 16:30to the rain, to the snow.
451. 16:31Looking for auroras to see if one day we can see them,
452. 16:34but there are too many clouds.
453. 16:35Last night I received a notification
454. 16:38from an application to search for auroras
455. 16:40that said that "if the sky has cleared"
456. 16:42we could see them within the next hour.
457. 16:45We played our last card
458. 16:46with a minute point
459. 16:48that could be seen through the clouds.
460. 16:54There is something forming in the sky
461. 16:56and it is not a cloud.
462. 16:57What is that?
463. 16:59What is that?
464. 17:02And although that seemed like an illusion,
465. 17:04I could call it a miracle.
466. 17:13Here they are, here we are seeing it.
467. 17:15The Northern Lights are dancing live.
468. 17:19Wow!
469. 17:29I will never erase
470. 17:31that image of the Auroras,
471. 17:32dancing above me
472. 17:33in my life.
473. 17:38Life is sometimes like a river
474. 17:40that flows through the landscape
475. 17:41of our experiences.
476. 17:43Sometimes we struggle to control every curve
477. 17:46and turn of our lives.
478. 17:47And the flow of life, like water,
479. 17:49we cannot try to cover it with our hands.
480. 17:52It is an effort that is beyond our control.
481. 17:55Letting go
482. 17:56doesn't mean completely giving up control.
483. 17:59If the best thing is to adapt
484. 18:00and learn to flow with the challenges
485. 18:02and changes that life presents to us.
486. 18:06Although the trip was not perfect,
487. 18:08nature taught me another lesson
488. 18:10and showed me a different but also beautiful side of Iceland.
489. 18:14The good thing is that I plan to return
490. 18:16but with you.
491. 18:17I'm planning a group trip
492. 18:18to film together and teach you what I know about filmmaking.
493. 18:22Fill out the form in the description
494. 18:23and see you on the next adventure.
495. 18:26Thank you so much!
