🧐 ABOUT THIS VIDEO
===============================

This summer we started planting trees in Iceland. But what does an Icelandic forest look like? This set us on course to Bæjarstaðaskógur, the closest thing you can get to an ancient Icelandic forest.

Some quick research and a chat with our Icelandic partners, Skógræktin, uncovered a fascinating tale. It was the story of how an eruption and a mysterious phenomenon known as a Mast year synced together perfectly to create a huge area of new-growth forest, on the glacial outwash plains in the south of Iceland.
