We're going to find the plane wreck in Vik.
You have now entered Lost the Iceland
Edition. I'm hiking to the plane the abandoned plane wreck it's about four
miles round-trip legend has it that in 1973 a United States Navy DC plane ran
out of fuel and crashed right here on the black sand beach of Sólheimasandur
Iceland. In the middle of this desolate landscape, we spot the plane. Now let's
see if we can find any survivors we get a closer look at the plane. It's
completely in tatters after spending 45 years here on this windswept beach.
Legend has it that all seven passengers on those planes survived but without
wings in a tail, the landing still remains a mystery. Let's go inside for a
closer look inside. We look for clues on the wreckage to see if we can piece
together this mysterious story.
Turns out that they were on their way to nearby Höfn when the pilot simply
switched over to the wrong fuel tank. How long were they stranded on this beach we
have yet to find out. We crashed a thousand miles off course that are
looking for us in the wrong place turn it on an island. No one's coming for us.
Look at these landscapes - it's insane. There's absolutely nothing out here
There's absolutely nothing out here.
[Lost: This place is different]
[We all know it. We all feel it]
We only found this place because we saw a grouping of cars in the middle of nowhere.
Guess which month it is? I'll give you a hint. Ok that was your hint - Go!
Although it's hard to keep track of months in time
when you're stranded on an island we will reveal this one mystery at the end
of the video. Turns out that while the plane was plummeting towards the ground,
the pilot decided to veer the plane away from the ocean. He knew that a landing in
the northern Atlantic would cause hypothermia.
We are in Vick look at how beautiful this is the ocean is sparkling and look
at how epic this is. We're the only ones on the beach!
[Lost: We're on the island alone.
Please someone come].
If you want a beach vacay come to Iceland in ___ [find out at end of video]
Because of this moonlike landscape, the pilot was able to glide the plane safely to landing on the
smooth icy surface. do it again
we explored the blank sand and looking for clues but instead we found natural
wonders. Check this out we found a river that's naturally flowing and straight
into the beach from the glacier.
To this day, nobody really knows why the plane was abandoned and why it's still
here. We walk along the ocean's edge but find no other signs of life no other
footsteps besides our own. It's been six days we're all still waiting waiting for
someone to come. Now some mysteries are meant to be solved and others are meant
to be open to interpretation forever just like the series Lost. [Lost: we need to
start figuring things out we need to figure out how we're gonna survive here]
A little bit of atmosphere here.
We're heading up to the top of this chapel on the hill
to get the view of Vik.
Subarctic Hawaii very misty now it's time to explore more
of the surreal landscapes in Iceland and we made it to this beautiful big church
overlooking to get in the ocean. One thing we learned from the plane wreckage
sighting is it's important to fuel up so time to get gas and food.
Just bought some Tritlar the road, kind of little gummies. We just got
these skyr bars they're made with skyr yogurt. After stopping off the road a few
times to take in the epic scenery it's time to head to one of the most
beautiful waterfalls in Iceland.
Nice campgrounds.. and this is Skogafoss!
You know what we're doing -climbing to the top!
During this time of year they have wildflowers
going up
wooo! Skogafoss!
We ascend up the staircase to take in the stunning views of Skogafoss and Vik down
below
skogafoss we made it to the top

one of the best surprises of the journey was being able to capture the sheep
roaming free in the wild
there's one half black half white one now we hike down the hill to get an
up-close and personal view of skogafoss
now although we didn't find any extraterrestrials or survivors from the
DC plane wreck on this otherworldly trip to Iceland
we did get nature's best surprise on our way back to Reykjavik - That's right
