The Vlogger Ásgeir is back, this time he heads to the Extreme Chill Fest which is an annual event in August in the village of Hellissandur in the Snæfellsnes Peninsula in the West of Iceland.
Ásgeir and his friend Hjalti dip into the Landbrotalaug natural hot pool and enjoy a beer. They check out Kirkjufell and Kirkjufellsfossar waterfall, go swimming, and have a lovely fish soup at Gamla Rif coffeehouse. At the festival, they chill out with ambient music, but at the end, the police surround them and look for drugs. But since Ásgeir is a total Boy Scout, they don´t find anything.
