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.
