I'm reaaaally sorry about the quality on this video! I accidentally changed my camera settings aaand I really didn't want to re-film this! Hopefully you guys still enjoyed it though!
Hrafna you‘re the best❤️
Haha ekkert mál,þetta er hvort eð er skemmtilegt video! ;)
Tbh, I don't think anyone would have really noticed. It's great 😊
Your accent is divine!
Call me 😬😝
I love how almost every point in this video applies to Finland as well. I visited Iceland couple of years ago and really liked it. I just missed the forests that we have a lot in Finland
@@PowersOfDarkness Pretty much yea :D
I have a house in Finland and I love it sm there
Canada too :D
Finns kicked sovietic ass
No Iceland is definitely better than Canada. And yes I am Canadian. Lots of issues with politics and crime on the rise. I’d rather live in Iceland.
Don't talk about how good your water is.... Nestle might hear you... we folks from Memphis, Tennessee, USA, learned that the hard way 🤣😂
Yes, Nestle is evil.
Come to Knoxville! Haha
Doesn’t Nestle also bottle water in CA which is in perpetual drought? Lol evil f*cks
Nestle is dry water and sucks. How can you drink water but get thirsty after drinking Nestle.
Lol I'm from Maine my well water is right from an underground spring even right from the faucet it's cold and clear.
Being able to love our president, something we literally never experienced in 40 years in Iran
Same with America. I have not been alive and legitimately liked a president.
Actually same in Germany and other european countries.
Same in the UK , especially right now . ( obviously not President , Prime Minister)
@@nesrinisli6921 for a second there I thought you were talking about the queen
DaFireCreeper lol😂 The Queen actually doesn’t have any political power ☺️
I am Canadian and we have some things in common with Iceland eg. lots of natural beauty, clean water, low crime rates etc., but given the choice, I'd rather live in Iceland for all the reasons you've mentioned. I visited this past September and it is a truly incredible country. A large part of this is your culture which is so gentle, quiet, and peaceful. An example to the rest of the world!
Canadian low crime rates ???? 😂
I’ve never been to Iceland but I’ve always felt immensely drawn. I feel so out of place in America. Everything that’s good about this country are things that are very important to me. I love learning about this place and culture.
Lmao 8% of Iceland was at the stadium watching the France - Iceland Eurocup 2016. That should tell you how small and easy to administrate the country is.
sure it's easy when you could hide or get lost for years. small population not country
And 90% watching at home
@West Yorkshire this is a perfect way to explain it! I was sitting here thinking damn, how are they so able to make it all "work" so well in Iceland, as compared to us in the USA. But it's like comparing apples to oranges, you can't compare two countries that aren't alike in any way. It doesn't mean one is better than the other, it just means they are different.
When you have homogeneous demographics it makes everything a lot easier.
West Yorkshire usa has more opportunity for immigrants and certain demograhics, but I can assure you not everyone in all parts of usa have opportunities for success.
Iceland:* super peaceful and low crime rate.*
Old Scandinavia: "Am I a joke to you?"
I mean Sweden have several bomb attacks per month and a pretty high amount of gang violence in the
southern half.
@Hegvik Never called all of Sweden violent. The majority of Sweden is still peaceful. But our problem is that those parts are completely ignorant on what’s happening and will only relies it when it hits them. The government thinks it’s more important to keep the Swedish image then to actually accept the problem we are facing and take it seriously before it gets even worse. But please do tell me where you live in Sweden?
Portugal : Twinsies!
@demigod oh , it's organized crime? No biggie then...... Sweden is a third world country compared to other scandinavian countries
Well we're not Scandinavian
I'd LOVE to visit Iceland someday! 🤩🇮🇸
Sarah N just got back and yeah I didn’t even see Police
Me too. I would like to date Iceland girl one day
Yes go if you ever can! I took a class trip my senior year in high school and it was expensive but the landscape was absolutely GORGEOUS! Oh and the air is very crisp and fresh because of little air pollution. Going to Iceland was the most incredible thing I've ever experienced
Just go ima wait 😊😊
Me too .Where are you from ?
One of the best bands ever is from Iceland - Of Monsters And Men!
Sigur Ros
Jónsi!
Wow. I didn't know that this band was from Iceland
I think you meant Sigor Ros
i thought they were english.shocking.
This is the first time in my life, I've fallen in love with a country, I'd never visited before.
And I've fallen in Love with girl that I've never met. :D
When I visited Iceland a few years ago the thing my friend and I could not get over was how good the water was. Not just the drinking water but every shower felt like being in a hot spring. Amazing.
Guys, the country has something like 300.000 habitants. This is not even a city in US or other big country. Of course it is easier to administrate.
@Solidsilenceful it's true. But they are small countries as well. Of course, and the Nordic people got the ability to administrate a country very well during the XX's so far.
I have to agree... and that actually radiates to everything she said about Iceland.
Haha, don’t be jealous
Urdur Arons has nothing to do with jealousy it’s just fact.
Iceland gets millions of tourists all year, so there are almost always several millions of people in the country each year. Iceland is still a peaceful country.
Can we talk about that the special police force is called the “Viking Squad”?!!! That’s so cool
It's just our swat team. Killed one person since it's founding as I recall, and we got mighty irate that the situation hadn't been solved without bloodshed.
@@MegaRypper Because ya'll are too privileged. 2 of your policemen got shot first and you worry about the lunatic who had been threatning his neighbors
@@lamonticus583 Shot at blindly. Nobody got hurt. So that's a blatant misrepresentation of the facts. As to our privilege... We view citizenship as a responsibility not a privilege. To uphold societal values and live with our fellow man in mind. It's called empathy. The biggest positive difference between being raised here to most other places in the world is that we are taught to think in terms of "We" Before "I" And it's the reason ours and the other Scandinavian countries rank highest in the world for happiness and quality of life. Alongside Swiss, but they mostly got there with Nazi gold.
@@MegaRypper bahahha, what a load of shit your just threw at me
@@MegaRypper Let's hope someone doesn't shoot at your kids "blindly" one day. And if they do, don't bother calling the police, they shouldn't be risking their lives for people like you
you're literally living in a paradise, i'm from turkey and your country sounds like a dream to me. i'm not really complaining about mine but it's so different and hopeful that there are still some countries and nations like Iceland that exists, loved your video btw💕
im from London so you can only imagine!
Vallahi ya soylediği ne kadar pozitif şey varsa tam tersi de bizde var...
I visited Iceland last year. I will visit again this year. Reykjavík is so small and beautiful, I walked it all in two days. Then went to see the nature around the island. I'm also fortunate to live in a country were education is almost free and accesible to the entire population of the country. Living in small countries are great, but travelling is a must, defenitely.
I would love to visit Iceland sounds like a great unique country love the language sounds so soft the president is nothing but a figure head love you
The president has the power to veto, which our past president used from time to time.
... and you've got Hatari ❤
Hatri moun sirdra
Amen
I knew someone would say it xDD💖💖💖
Yes, that's amazing
I'm dead 😂 😂 😂 😂
Iceland is very similar to my country Norway
İ wish i could live in Noway lucky youu
Island ser ut som ett gammalt Skandinavien
Sounds like Finland also.
The Land of the Midnight Sun :)... i will visit both Iceland and Norway soon..
I met a student from Mexico studying in Sweden. He emphasised a person can get used to the cold, but NEVER the DARKNESS.
A big plus is how well Iceland takes in its fellow EU members living there. Iceland does not have an issue with absorbing the positives attributes and items the new members of its community bring to the island. That is great! I love visiting.
West African countries that are part of EU need a work permit in your country?
I’m so glad this video came out! I’d love to visit iceland again, and I agree with the water! It’s so lovely
So is the air, very crisp and fresh
The shortest day here in Turku Finland is from 9:34 to 15:21 (5h 47min). Reykjavik is just 4 degrees north from Turku so you probably have quite the same length of day. During the longest day here sun rises 3:59 and sets 23:06 (19h 7min).
Best things about Iceland :
1) Fresh whale beef.
2) The best dried cod fish.
3) The Ferry to Denmark.
4) Not in the EU.
5) Boutique craft beer.
I went to Iceland about a month ago and omg what a beautiful country Iceland is! And yes people the water is AMAZING! ☺️☺️
I loved iceland when I visited, honestly the most beautiful country I’ve ever seen
I been trying Icelandic products so far and the water for me is the best on this planet , the Skyr yogurt and chocolates delicious! I would like to visit Iceland , natures look jaw dropping gorgeous...
... and you've got Kaleo
I went to Iceland on 2017 with my husband. I enjoyed the nature and the serenity. Now I have toddler and baby. I'm hoping all 4 of us can go back soon!
Icelandic water is the purest water.
Himilayan water: hold my H2O! 😂😂😂
I'm going to study at Uni of Iceland in the fall semester~ your videos are encouraging and helpful ^_^
That's by far the best country ever, the one with most conditions to live.It's my dream travel. In the part of you getting safe in Iceland it's amazing,I would love to feel that. I live in Portugal the 5th most safe country in the world and lots of times I don't feel safe in the streets
I love Portugal, I have such great memories there last year, all over the country. Lisboa is incredible! Love from Ireland
@@JamesMadiganmadda It's amazing to see how the non-portuguese people love our country :)
@@sergiosantos815 and same how non Irish love Ireland haha! But the Irish love Ireland too so it's good 😊😂
In December it's more 11am - 3pm of sun, but the light is SO nice! Golden hour for long.
what do you think of Iceland’s presentation in Eurovision?
The best performance of 2019 and the only one that woke me up from my sleep on the couch.
@@DanasAnis lol
Good song, cheap politics protest
Epic
@@mayforever9478 considering travel costs, I'd say it was a very expensive political protest
Here in Argentina we have violence, poverty and bad (and I mean really bad) politicians, but one thing that's actually quite great is that public universities are far better than private ones. Universidad de Buenos Aires is among the best universities in the world in various fields such as medicine, design and engineering, and you don't have to pay a single dollar (or peso).
I discovered your channel recently and I love it, Iceland seems like a beautiful country to live and its language is even more beautiful!
It’s not that you don’t need an army because you’re «peaceful». Your lack of military is only possible because you rely on other countries to carry out the responsibility to secure and defend Iceland. Norway’s air force patrol and secure your air space, NATO forces would be responsible for defence in a potential conflict. Surprised to hear you don’t know this.
Icelands has get a Peacefull Price 6. times
True, but who tf wants to invade Iceland anyway. Even if they weren't covered by others.
Yes. Your language and landscape are wow amazing!! And if you start making asmr videos where you whisper in Icelandic that would be the perfect combo😍
I would love that there were more Icelandic lessons on youtube. Such a beautiful language but not well known. I want to learn it so badly
Honestly, I am a u.s. citizen and a college graduate. Part of the reason that education is so expensive is because of all of the resources that are available to college students outside of just the classroom education. The academic and athletic clubs. Colleges in the United states are like small cities into themselves.
I love your videos where you speak about Iceland because I want to visit it so bad. Please do more videos about your country. Greetings from Venice, Italy 😘
In England and Wales & Northern Ireland (I think) you have a great to pay for your higher education. In Scotland, however, education is payed for by the government and the only thing you have to pay for is your food and accommodation which you can get scholarships for :) I am from Scotland BTW this is how I know that lol ❤️
In all fairness, it's easy to practice this kind of quality control when you live in an isolated first world country with a population of only 300k and you're not really all that important on a geopolitical scale. BUT, Iceland is an awesome country and I'm glad they continue to practice being who they are
Exactly my thoughts.
80% similar to Australia, my country! Especially it is very hot in Summer, wildfire! But winter is only no less than 10c...... But we also have free high quality education and health, and welfare system, just like Iceland!
10/10 would love wearing hoodies 95% of the time
I'm impressed! What a wonderful country! I hope one day Brazil will be able to learn something with countries like yours. Thank you for this video, it made me feel like there's hope for this world!
the world actually is better than ever before, we just so got used to seeing nagativity on news and media.
0:18
Me: dare to dream, soda dream
Exactly what I thought about 😂
I've been to Iceland a couple of times and the things that I like are just how beautiful the landscape is, I love the small towns (Selfoss) in particular which has an awesome sundholl (sauna), and I enjoy how peaceful it is. The only thing I don't like about Iceland is how expensive everything is in the shops haha
Also how much are your tuition fees? We pay £9,000 a year but we take out a loan from the government and then pay back I think 5% over what we earn over £25,000.00 once we graduate. It's a bit messed up like you said.
have you seen Hatari - Hatrid Mun Sigra??
Have you thought about English lessons?
I recently visited your beautiful country and fell in love with it and it’s people, compared to the rest of the world which I’ve seen a large amount Iceland seems like paradise. I felt like I’d traveled to another world.
Eurovision brought me here 🤩🇮🇸
University is expensive in most of UK but is almost free for residents of Scotland which also has some top Unis.
I would add the unique Icelandic horses that can move in special gaits like tölt and flying pace and have various coat colors 🐎
Anna Nowak oh yes! We also have many of them here in Germany! :)
Are they eatable?
@@jeday3849
yes they are eaten in iceland.
I'm from the U.S. and I can only take one class at a time right now because of the cost. It's going to take awhile for me to get my two-year degree, and I'm at Community College, not a large 4-year University. I don't understand it either :/ I love Iceland so much I can't wait to go back one day :)
The most beautiful country. It was so amazing to visit and I cannot wait until I can live here :)
I agree!! there is something remarkable about Icelandic water!! I buy it here in the U. S. whenever I can....
Well Matthìass is unemployed at the moment
XDDDDDDDDDD
He's not
Hahahahaha
Luv Iceland. Its so beautiful.. An amazing people. Bless yall
I feel the same about swedish water. Maybe its just to do with what you grew up with. But icelandic water I have yet to discover. I bet it's amazing. 😄
Yes in Sweden we have a lot of homeless and immigrants begging for money on the street. Our politicians really need to do something about this situation. I feel sorry for these people sitting there outdoors. Even in the coldest winter.
Cool you are studying literature and creative writing!
I second your point about the nature. Winter in Iceland is like another planet compared to my homeland of Australia. In particular, because of THE WATERFALLS. I can't emphasize enough how stunning they are. Some are tall, some are wide, some are short, some have funky basalt columns, some have carved deep canyons.....the variety is staggering. I returned a second year to see mighty Dettifoss in the north...I haven't yet heard of another country that has so many falls in such a small area.
6:25 what? Olar Ragnar krimson? I heared Ragnar and as a viking fan I think thats pretty dope
Stekkerdoos *Ólafur Ragnar Grímsson*
I know the light change problem. I grew up in Norman Wells, Northwest Territories, Canada. We got like two hours of light per day around noon during winter, and then it was never dark in the summer. Then I moved to the Middle East...
Very interesting. You make me want to visit Iceland some day.
Youre right. Had a 2 hour layover in Iceland on my way to England. I couldnt get enough of your water. Its amazing
Yeah! Switzerland! Country where doctors tell you to drink water frome the tap and not from the bottle! :')
Water in city is not good
Drinking from the tap is quite usual in France. Restaurants have to provide free water from the tap if you don't want to pay for mineral water.
I have visited your beautiful country twice, once in the summer of 2016, and then came back in the winter of 2018. Both visits were worth every Kroner I spent. It is so beautiful, and your people are so friendly and helpful. I hope to return some day to the magical beauty of Island.
Also Icelandic women are beautiful. :)
You’re not wrong mate, just look at the woman in this video.
Well....beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder.
I think the pure English breed of Anglo Saxon ancestry is far more beautiful.
@@ArthurShelby-PB she's good looking
Antony Piniepedus Are there really anyone with 100% anglo saxon ancestry though?
Liam nope idk what he’s on about the pure anglos were tainted by the normans thousands of years ago
It is almost one year that I am living in Iceland and I am 100% agree with you about the Iceland water...
I'm visiting Iceland in September!! I'm SO excited 😍
Congrats, you're so lucky! I wish I could go too. Enjoy your time in Iceland.
Hi Hrafna, I loved Reykjavik so much in 2017, next week we will be back in Iceland! Your channel is fantastic for that locals flavour. Thank you 😊

I appreciate your videos on Iceland. Just to clarify, it doesn't cost "millions" of dollars to attend college/university in the US. The educational costs vary, however, according to the College Board, published tuition fees for 2018/19 at state colleges are an average of US$10,230 for state residents, and $26,290 for everyone else. This compares to an average of $35,830 at private non-profit colleges. The cheapest options of all, however, are public-sector two-year colleges - also known as community, technical or city colleges - where average fees for 2018/19 are just $3,660.
Admittedly, one can’t complete a full degree at a two-year college, but one can gain an associate’s degree. This counts as the first half of a bachelor’s degree, which can then be completed by transferring to a university for an additional two or three years.
While college/university fee's are extremely low in Iceland, I suspect Iceland's taxes are higher to cover these costs. In the US, students can obtain grants and scholarships to help off set educational costs. Best Regards!
I'd like to meet the actor who played Vikingur Gislason in Ofærd, he's gorgeous
The first point about water i totally believe in. I am not from Iceland, but from northern Norway, and i have the same thing. Whenever im travelling i miss it a lot, and when i come back the first thing i do is to turn on the tap, wait for it to be ice cold, and drink it for weeks more or less non-stop because it is awesome. I heard that Coca Cola ranked their soda taste world wide based on water quality; i believe Iceland ranked 1st, and breweries in northern Norway 2nd or 3rd according to them. Other studies rank Finland #1 based on other criteria. Anyway, valid thing to love.
Please make reaction video to "Hatriđ mun Sigra" it could be amazing
Mavi Slime every one is iceland has lisened to it
in all fairness, when we talk about Icelands water you should mention the smell (at least the tap water in the Reykjavik area). or do you not smell it anymore? for people who never been to Iceland: The fresh water mostly comes from geothermal springs and depending on the specific geothermal properties of the region (i belive its mostly the temperature of the spring), the water has a "sulfuric" odor...a bit like rotten eggs. there are regions, like the Reykjanes Peninsula where the water comes from very hot thermal springs (i believe) and has no odor at all, but in Reykjavik the smell is very prominent whenever you get water from the tap. It's the one thing that i didn't like when i visited there...other than that it's a spectacular beautiful country with lovely people. very fond memories :-)
It's only the hot water that smells like that.
But yeah, once you get used to it you don't smell it anymore.
İn turkey we don't have to pay for our university. Like her i think it's crazy that people can't have a good education, good future bc they can't afford it.
A big thank you to the Viking angel for her documentaries.
I honor people who give others true facts.
Thank you beautiful mermaid!
College in the u.s.a. can be very expensive indeed but, not millions of dollars 😄.
We also have community colleges and trade schools which are dirt cheap compared to the universities.
a million kr in iceland is like 12500$ she probably just mixed the two.
Community colleges are no different than expensive universities.
Unless you're in STEM
@@killstrees Yea for some odd reason people down play or ignore it and rather put themselves thousands of dollars in debt
@@JM-fo1te That is a damn lie. Community college aren't even remotely close in the same cost of tuition as a university. The most expensive tuition and fee university is $61k. For the most expensive in community college is under $8k. You made that up
Well I am from Venezuela and I was in your beautiful country in 2014 and as geologist was the best experience in my life. But, in terms of living there is so calm, pure and isolated. I remember driving from south to west and visited a beautiful town called Djupivogur and the next day visiting Akureyri. My Icelandic tongue is really poor but your country is beautiful, clean and very dangerous in terms of nature. I left a lot of friends there. Maybe this year I will come back. And I remember the people watching me when I pronounce Eyjafjallajoküll perfectly hahahaha
Please react to Hatari - Hatrid mun sigra !!!!!!
Hatriđ Mun Sigraaaaaaaaa 🇮🇸🇮🇸🇮🇸
I secretly want to live in Iceland!
@Hrafna
I heard from a professor name Corinne G. Dempsey at Nazareth College who has been to Iceland talk about spirits and spirit work in Northern Iceland, and "little people." Corinne G. Dempsey wrote the book, "Bridges between Worlds." I love that Iceland is a lot more open and accepting in terms of spirituality than most of the world. Even in the U.S., a lot of spiritual people who are mediums are persecuted, which is why psychics such as I often do not share openly our psychic experiences with people, which is something that people can talk about more freely in Iceland without being persecuted. Rochester, New York is also well-known for being highly spiritual and accepting, and in Rochester, some of the first mediumship circles in the U.S. arose and were founded by the Fox Sisters, Kate, Leah, and Margaret. Rochester is also one of the leading places in the U.S. with a Zen meditation center called the Rochester Zen Center, which I am a member of. I am fortunate enough to have been able to visit a psychic and develop psychic abilities at The Purple Door here in Rochester, and I am certain you can find psychic places like The Purple Door in Iceland as well, and it's something not to be taken for granted, as it is something that is extremely rare to experience in different parts of the world as being societally acceptable. Another thing that I find wonderful about Iceland is its sustainability practices. I heard from Corinne that geothermal energy is incredibly important in Iceland, and nowhere in the U.S. have I seen people using any renewable energy whatsoever. It's extremely rare to see people use renewable energy or geothermal energy in the U.S. Also, the way Iceland uses sand to cover the roads is a lot better for the environment than using chemical-laden salt, which is destroying the waterways and the ecosystems in the U.S. Also, Iceland is a lot more tolerant of LGBTQ populations, and in the U.S., 30 men in a gay club were shot and killed in Florida only a few years ago, and as a pansexual man I feel scared and am unsafe when I go out at night.
Overall, I would add these five points: Iceland is a lot more spiritually accepting in terms of connecting with spirits and spirit work than almost every other part of the world, Iceland is a lot more sustainable in terms of geothermal energy and renewable energy, Iceland has much better recycling than the U.S., Iceland has better ways of dealing with snow and use sand rather than salt, and Iceland is a lot more tolerant and peaceful towards LGBTQ+ populations than the rest of the world, especially way more tolerant and peaceful than places like the U.S., Iran, and India.
I think, you got really nice country. Few things to add:
You got good national football team. They are really, really good. Will love to see they make Ronaldo cry again 😊
You got ... "Icelandic metal" 🤘
Lol would love to see that again
Icelandic music is awesome too!
listen to olafur liljuros
@@miguelluissousadias1371 I know that one, it's good.
@@dronedruid153 já, i agree. i also listened to the norwegian song stanford brua
The best air is in Iceland and Finland. :)
Fellow Icelander here. Great list but I'd also like to add the Icelandic music scene, the talented artists we have here and the quality of Icelandic television and films, especially in recent years. It's amazing how so much talent can come from such a small country!
This is pretty interesting. I will be studying at the University of Iceland as a graduate student (M.A. Viking and Medieval Norse Studies for international students) over the next two years. From what else I have heard about Iceland, I can't wait to go here, it sounds far better than the U.S.
Definitely the Northern Lights. I’ve been lucky enough to see them twice in Iceland. An absolutely amazing, unforgettable experience.
What is your opinion on the food in Iceland?
As long as you like fish, the food is awesome.
Freyr Einarsson no one likes fish in Iceland only the old people
@@karirafnsnbjornsson6076 i do ._.
@@freyreinarsson8993 i love fish😍
There is a disgraceful lack of fresh fruit and veg as most of this is imported
I love the horses and they are my favorite part about living in Iceland
I’m from Denmark and I really want to visit Iceland 😍😭
Or you could just recolonise it
Went snorkelling in the Silfra. Could literally drink the water while I was floating around it was that pure! Beautiful country, lovely people, lovely cuisine, very scenic! Can’t wait to go back some day :)
In my opinion, you should think about doing podcasts. You have really nice voice.
I do agree! (About living in Iceland)
Whole world beautiful but you absolutely agree with you because your patriotic of love for country and nation
Definitely the best country in the world in my opinion, and I'm from Spain 🙂
I agree about the icelandic glacial water👌 especially the one from the thumbnail is simply amazing. The best I tried so far.
Heyyyyy gurl. Im from Iceland too
i visited iceland last summer such an amazing country. want to go back some day. ❤
You missed "having Hatari as your Eurovision representative" 😊.
Metalvision Song Contest uhh its the repsesentatvie right now??
Mía Charlotte Magnúsdóttir Yes, indeed! 😊
Sweden is the same when it comes to the sun, during summer sun is up around 3am and stays up to around 10-11pm, during winter we don't see the sun for many hours :)
I hope Iceland will continue to be a safe country, don't follow down the road Sweden has done.
It's probably due to the fact that Iceland is not in the EU and recievs no EU migrants
They do, just not as many.
I'm looking forward to meeting my daughter in Iceland next week. Your videos helped me a bunch.
