Fagradalsfjall Volcano – Season 3 Episode 1 (2023)
typically feel an intense urge to immediately go to the eruption site, which sometimes feels unhealthy. Before the eruption I had planned to go for a run on Hengifell mountain (15 km, 700 m elevation). So I went ahead with my plan. When I returned, the police in Reykjanesbaer decided to open the trail, making […]

Summer Solstice
Yesterday, Iceland experienced its longest day of the year on June 21st, known as the summer solstice. During June, the sun doesn’t set at all, causing some confusion with sleep and routines. However, I’ve grown to love the constant daylight and the melodic, lively nights. Join me in listening to the midnight sun in Reykjavik!
Raufarhólshellir: ice stalagmites singing
Coming back to this place, where everything started, always makes me quite melancholic. By „everything” I mean not only first sounds of Noise From Iceland, but also my life in Iceland – here I’ve met wonderful people who pushed me forward and supported (and they still do). I’ve never felt so belonging before. In the […]
Skógafoss bathed in ice
I can’t believe I have done it after so many years of sound recording in Iceland: I forgot to bring my windscreen also known as a „dead cat” or „my furry hard-working friend” as my family calls it. Therefore, it was impossible to do a good recordings, without wind blowing straight into the microphone. BUT […]
Raufarhólshellir
In Iceland we have about 700 lava tubes. Raufarholshellir is one of the longest and the biggest. 5200 years ago, during the eruption of Leiti (in Blafjall), flowing lava has built up this tunnel. The sound was collected during the winter, when the floor is covered with “ice stalagmites” that are singing in the raindrops.
Páskahellir – when the sun is dancing
I don’t know about you, but I need a little pause today. Therefore, it is with great pleasure that I returned to the sound collected in July this year in the East Fjords of Iceland, in the cave on the shore of the ocean, Páskahellir. Legend has it that when you visit the cave on […]
The fastest glacier to disappear
It was so beautiful yesterday on the Sólheimajökull glacier, that today is like we came back from a different planet. Every time I want to bring back the feelings and memories I just listen to the sound from that place. Sadly, Sólheimajökull is one of the fastest disappearing glaciers in Iceland. I can see with […]
Laugavegur Trail: Black desert
Right before entering the black desert of the Icelandic interior, we had to cross the glacial river and few other smaller streams. At that point, I did not know we are seeing the water for the last time – then next several hours of walking was just black sand and wind. I can say, that […]
