Iceland is a beautiful, haunting place. I visited for a few days back in 2004 en route to Stockholm, and wished I'd had at least a full week. Unfortunately, it was easily the most expensive place I've visited anywhere in the world; even Stockholm seemed a bargain in comparison. I shot some video while I was there, though it's pretty amateurish in comparison to the footage in the video you posted.
