Sigur Ros – Heima (& Iceland diving)

September 10th, 2007 * Comments(0)

This video has been making the rounds in the past few days:

Superbly shot, excellent locations and some very fine music. And since youtube hardly does this video justice – here’s the original trailer.

I’ve watched it a few times already and every single time I get the urge to pack up and go to Iceland. And just so you know… Iceland is just as amazing underwater. Silfra…a crack in the earth’s crust where european and american tectonic plates meet and visibility is quite literally limitless… probably the most spectatular dive site on the planet.

NDR Silfra report on YouTube:

you can also freedive there…

I must warn you though…it is cold… ;)

As part of their one year anniversary celebrations the team behind Smashing Magazine decided to give away some free stuff. Free as in: free font Anivers by Jos Buivenga (he has more free fontin’ goodness on his site), free WordPress theme by Elena Gafita, free (if you win) books and free (if you win) design tools.

BTW Anivers supports CE languages (yea!) so go grab it while it’s hot.

Blue Hole Freedive

Now… where’s that hole and how do I get there? ;) I’m envious, he went below 55m without a suit. In somewhat more familiar conditions of the Adriatic that would be about 14-10°C. Not something you can adapt to very quickly coming from 25°C on the surface. In those kinds of temperatures even a shorty wetsuit isn’t really helpful.

Here’s one more video from that same location shot by the diver himself.
