New Iceland VideoHey, not a campaign email! I bet you're stoked about that, haha. (But please vote if you haven't!) However you're feeling today, I think you will vote in favor of this video. I finally compiled all of my Iceland drone videos from my 2023 trip into a relaxing 17-minute video that showcases the beauty of Iceland's landscapes. If you need a break from the TV, a moment of Zen, or just enjoy watching nature videos, I think you'll love this. Thanks for watching, and I'd greatly appreciate it if you hit the subscribe button. (PS: This looks way better if you watch it on your TV. Find your YouTube app, search for my channel, AlecOutside, and watch it there at 4K.) (Or click here to access the video.)
