Iceland: The Realm of Magic | Full Film | Explorer Albert
It’s here! Iceland: The Realm of Magic is now live on YouTube, and the team couldn't be more excited to share it with you on this winter solstice!
Making this project has been an incredible adventure. From traversing Iceland’s volcanoes and glaciers to hearing ancient sagas come to life, every moment of this journey was made even more special by the amazing friends and collaborators who were there along the way. Thank you for your creativity, passion, and talent. For me, it's because of you that imagination becomes a reality. And a big thank you to everyone for watching and being part of my expedition team. Your curiosity and love of exploration are the fuel that keep me seeking out the stories that connect us all. I am looking forward to bringing this and more content to the Explorer Albert YouTube Channel.
On a final note, this film is also deeply personal—a tribute to my late friend Jamie Shadowlight, who taught me to see magic and beauty in the coexistence of dark and light, and the in cycles of death and rebirth that define it all. Lessons that echo through the myths and landscapes of Iceland. In celebration of this Winter Solstice, lets tap into the magic in everything.
