    Iceland has always been my favourite country in the world to live in. Its temperature is cold, the skies are mostly grey but nonetheless I love cold and grey clouds and rain/snow... Its massive quantity of environment is stunning and overwhelming, the fact of not having crowded/clusted places is fascinating either and there (with the pure air and plus), we can have a heathy and restful live. Also hearing their language is pleasantly gorgeous

      Still do it. Also in Denmark where I live (I am originally from Iceland.) I believe they also do it in the other Nordic countries.
      It was done in the US decades back, I just read that today.
      Speaking for the babies in the prams outside, since I can remember very far back (and also because I had my pram until I was two and a half), it is wonderful sleeping outside in the fresh air. All warm and fuzzy in your clothes and covers, but with your face free. It is just the best. We should all do it!

      @Franky Padilla the problem is that iceland belongs to the schengen area and for example if a criminal is nationalized in a country of the european union he can go uncontrolled to iceland so iceland is not protected also how they live from tourism will become visible and many new potentials immigrants will look for a way to stay and multiculturalize the country.
      I sincerely tell you a safe and white country without the risk of being multiculturalized is the Faroe Islands, and if you resist the cold a lot and want to live quietly, Greenland, Nuuk, then in continental Europe you have Belarus. The rest of Europe is doomed as long as the European Union exists.

    Gabriel, in 1986 I served in the USAF. I was a helicopter mechanic. We had a USAF base in Reykjavik and heard lots of stories from US airman who were stationed on the island. The winter storms were tough. What you are experiencing is the huge impact of climate change. Large amount of ice cold water sublimes off the Greenland ice sheet and travels down to the gulf of Mexico and some of of that hot water migrates back to the north Atlantic. I was a little shocked just to see how warm it is on the island. But worlds oceans are heating up and absorbing enough heat energy "48 tera joules of energy" or equal to 8 thermal nuclear bombs per second

    • @sgjoni
      @sgjoni 3 года назад +6

      No..., climate change or not the weather in Iceland is always changing, and has not warmed significantly... and ironically is one of the only places on planet earth that is not predicted to warm much if at all. January is often quite warm, because of the tropical storms in the Gulf of Mexico blowing up the Atlantic.... the next day might have been freezing with a blizzard from the North... and the next day after rainy and warm south-westly winds... that is typical Icelandic weather. There was a mini cold spell from the early 1960s to the late 1970s where the weather was generally a bit colder on average than now... and in the years around 2000 it was a bit warmer on average... but this... this is typical.

    Info.: On December 1, 1918, Iceland gained sovereignty. The Danish king Christian X. remained until the founding of the republic, on June 17, 1944, the Icelandic head of state. Therefore, members of the Danish royal family, who were born before 17 June 1944, also have an Icelandic given name, such as the current Queen Margrethe II, which bears the name Þórhildur.
