Iceland Featured in a Dentyne Gum Commercial !

I was flipping channels the other day and an image of the black beach at Vik (my favorite place in Iceland!) flashed across the screen. I instantly recognized the troll rocks :)

Anyway for those of you heading to Iceland, do check out the Dentyne Ice - Iceland Commercial. It really captures the beauty of Iceland. Much better than the Dharma Initiative-esque ones on the Iceland tourism site! Haha!

Here's a screen capture of the commercial. Love!!! Perhaps you may recognize the other places in Iceland featured. Please post it in my comments box, I would love to know!

Craziest thing ever! My boyfriend and I travelled to Iceland 1 year ago and ended up shooting some pictures at Vik. Tonight we were watching T.V. and the Dentyne commercial with this pic flashed across the screen. I jumped up and recognized the rocks. What an amazing country!!!

Hi Leigh, that was exactly the same reaction from me! LOL!

We were lucky enough to have lived there for 2 1/2 years while my husband was in the military. I wish like crazy we were still there! That country is amazing and gorgeous. I too loved Vik. I was able to bring back some black sand and gray and black rocks. I have them displayed in a vase. While we were there they filmed parts of Flag of our Fathers. Top Gear also filmed a segment there which shows tons of Iceland.

Oh, I knew it! I went there 2 years ago for my honeymoon. I was really excited to see the commercial and came on here to google it and find out if it was really Iceland.

seljavallalaug, google it. Went there last year (and going again soon). It's a pool built into the side of a mountain. Most incredible, beautiful thing (and HOT)!!
