1:16Ali introduces the Iceland-to-Scotland voyage and maps out the island stops from his suite aboard Evrima.
5:23A tender takes him ashore for a coastal walk towards Kirkjufell and its waterfalls.
16:24A helicopter flight passes Skógafoss and rugged canyons before landing on an Icelandic glacier.
22:11Ali hikes Heimaey's cliffs to watch puffins nesting and flying above the sea.
32:48A Faroe Islands road tour visits remote villages with turf-roofed houses and waterfalls.
43:06In Kirkwall, Ali visits St Magnus Cathedral and browses knitwear shops before returning aboard.

Ali Gordon has one bird especially in mind when he hikes Heimaey's steep cliffs: the puffin. After a helicopter excursion over waterfalls and volcanic terrain, he heads out to watch the birds nesting and flying above the sea. The itinerary has room for both grand excursions and a good walk.

There were no new uploads this week, but "Iceland to Scotland by Yacht | The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection" remains the strongest daily draw among his currently moving videos. The paid-partnership vlog follows a voyage aboard Evrima, continuing through the Faroe Islands, Shetland and Orkney before reaching Edinburgh. In Lerwick, the outing is pleasingly straightforward: haddock and chips, a walk around town and a seal spotted in the harbour.

The channel added roughly 9,500 views across its archive this week, while subscribers held at 150,000. Daily viewing is running above its usual level. Older home-life uploads are contributing too: an advertising-labelled midwinter vlog has shed organisation and vegetable stew for Lydia, while another sponsored upload turns to the home gym and greenhouse preparations.

Among nearby-sized outdoors channels, HEY WANDERER and Haze Outdoors had substantially busier viewing weeks. Ali Gordon's smaller week leaves an unhurried catch-up, with the Heimaey puffins providing a particularly personal stop along the route.
