      The way you wrote it (without an oxford comma) is actually correct regarding the intended meaning :) A comma after "wheat" however would inevitable lead to oil and wood being food. Sorry for destroying your joke.

Especially considering you would have to sail through large portions of hot, humid climates to get to them, which in theory should accelerate the rate at which the ice melts.

    Correction: The first name for Iceland was NOT in fact Iceland, it had a few other names first, so the first Icelandic settler was not the one who actually names it Iceland. The first name was actually Snæland, which means “Snowland.” In between those two names it then got a few others, but eventually settled for the name Ísland (Iceland). While not a huge mistake, since the difference is just Ice vs snow, I just felt like I should point that out.

      sirBrouwer the Main reason is that desert sand cannot be used for construction because it is round. Artificial islands and buildings will just fall apart. They import masses of sand from beaches or rivers for construction purposes and land building. Whole beaches are stolen because of the sand mafia.

    Most very old and very big houses in the UK (I mean very big country estates, National Trust type places) have special outbuildings designed for storing ice before the times of fridges and freezers, mainly for food preservation. They are called ice houses and are effectively man-made caves. A know of a place where there's a mushroom house too.

    Wait what??? We don't import much ice. I the past few years I have seen some imported bags of ice in the supermarket but generally we scoff at the idea and find it ridiculous. Usually the supermarkets have ice machines. Like the video says then electricity is not really expensive here so making ice is cheap as hell. So the video is mostly correct apart for the part where we rely on imported ice.

      Yup. It will be Jónsson. It's always the first name. Although we could also choose it to be Eyrúnarson as my wife is named Eyrún. The rest of the nordic countries have stopped doing this and use family names now.
      The russians also do this although the fathername comes in the middle and they also have a family name. For example Putin's full name is Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin. Which means something like 'Vladimir, son of Vladimir, of the Putin family". This is also where the middle eastern 'bin' comes from.

    Hey HaI I work at the harbour that ships a lot of the aluminum from Iceland and it's worth mentioning that most of it does not use the same ships that normal cargo comes on, a substantial portion does but all the raw material and most of the products enter and exit from their own harbours and carry very limited if any extra cargo. Also 99% of ice in Iceland is made in Iceland and is used for icing fish.
