This video is the second release from a month-long international filming and research trip I took last summer. It's a project that's been over a year in the making. My brother and I drove 1200 miles around the entirety of the island, spending ten days meeting locals and exploring the city of Reykjavík as well as the beautiful villages and spectacular wilderness areas that make Iceland the country it is. Myself and my brother, Quinn the Cameraman - / @quinnthecameraman - have been working on a number of films about our trip and the countries we visited. Quinn made a great video documenting our travels across the island - • Road Trip around the R... . Many, though not all, of the photos of included were taken by us on location. Thanks for taking the time to enjoy our work and learn about this incredible little corner of the world.

I am so used to people mispronouncing Icelandic in hilariously spectacular ways that when I heard your attempts at pronouncing the words (which are great by the way) at the beginning of the video, they put me off a tad. What an odd thing, finding accurate pronunciations offputting. Great work, as always!

Hyped for your next state video. love iceland
Great video man. You deserve more views!
just got back from a trip there, definitely one of the coolest places i’ve ever been. overall has a chill vibe
ANOTHER TII MASTERPIECE LETS GOOOOOO 🔥🗣️🗣️🗣️🚨🚨🚨🚨
LFG!
So hyped for this! My mom was born in Iceland and I go there all the time to visit family so it's cool to learn more about the nation.
All my love to Iceland 🇮🇸 from Venezuela 🇻🇪
You deserve far more viewers on youtube. Just looking at how far you've come in the past few years is inspiring. Keep it up man
Thank you so much! Means a lot
Facts
Hey i am a native Icelander and you made one mistake with the flag section, the blue means ocean not mountains. Otherwise great video loved it❤
Im finally going to Iceland this winter after wanting to go all my life, and this video is literally perfect!!!
You guys are delightful. Makes me feel happy, hopeful (and old) to see such young talented people with such commitment to their work. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Great stuff Carter. I'm 25, been road tripping North America since I was 19; planning to have all 50 states visited by next year. After that I'll be graduating to World Traveler, and Iceland is easily #1 on the list. I've had the trip planned out and ready to go for a couple years, but this video will definitely help me refine my itinerary. Can't wait. Þetta Reddast! ("all will be well")
The timing wow.... next weekend is Icelandic festival in Gimli Manitoba.
hello from minnesota! always wanted to go to gimli and see lake winnipeg!
Love videos like this
They seem to take a while but it’s well worth the wait!
your pronunciations are enlightening. Great job.
Great work, guys!
This was a very good video, you've clearly put a lot of effort into this, great job!
Hey Carter, thanks for the upload and hope you’re doing well! I appreciate all your hard work for the channel. I was also just wondering when your next installment of the US explained is due out? I hope you have a wonderful day. Keep up the great work.🇺🇸⭐️
I just finished the script for Arkansas, so it should be up in the next week or two!
@@ThatIsInterestingTII thanks so much for letting me know🇺🇸⭐️
The U.S. explained Arkansas is coming up! Can’t wait 😛
Nice to see you again
You should make a video talking solely about Svalbard archipelago
Well done video. Fascinating history and geology. I hesitated to watch it, only because of the length, but once it began, I was hooked and time flew by! Thank you for all the hard work.
I love watching volcanies erupt there. It seems more, well, ancient earth. They are amazing else where, but the sparseness and rocky areas make it feel like our planet is truly being formed.
Dope, love this channel
The fact that Reykjavík's average January minimum temperature is less cold than cities like Chicago and NYC is crazy
Excellent as always!
❤ Carter's content.
My wife and I spent a while there travelling the island. At one point we were talking to a teen at a roadside diner/inn and he was telling us how cold it gets in winter and how its hot in summer. We both thought it was funny because Minnesota passes Iceland's hot and cold records, literally every year.
I love Iceland a 4 time visitor. My favorite place, Lammanalagur (sp). Greg, Springfield, Louisiana, USA.
Thank you for making this video about Iceland! Please make videos for other Nordic countries including Norway, Denmark, and Finland
June 17, 2024 marked the 80th anniversary of Icelandic independence from Denmark.
🗿🗿🗿
Great video! The information seemed well researched. I suggest cutting down the length of these videos to 30-45min.
man
that _is_ interesting
Your pronounciation of the icelandic names is admirable. There is just one area where improvement should be fairly easily remedied and that is jökull. The double L ending should sound like the dl sound in Adler, saddle you prounounce it as you do so well and close with an abrupt dl, as it sounds in the words I chose as example. You do a good job at describing our rock in the middle of nowhere and I wish you godspeed on your future journeys.
I loved the part about the Icelandic Dating App!
great video!
🙂
23:05 "sandur" means literally sand though. you explained sand with extra steps.
great videos thank you for sharing . ONE thing I have nitied you never mention what wildlife live on these Islands .
Tell your friend he may want to dip his toes on the warm climates when he eventually moves away, I moved from Iceland to Pennsylvania and felt like I was melting, and it was barely over 80f lol. Going to Florida or Texas first thing may in fact kill him
I believe even Grimsey scheduled to be below the Arctic Circle as it moves North-a few volcanic rocks maybe jut above the water further North sometimes!?
One admires his implecable pronunciation.
Icelandic language is oldNorwegian. Everyone in Norway spoke that way in the old days. But then came the Danish influence. Norway has as many dialects as India and China.
I lived in Iceland 50 years ago.
thank you great video and great information. HAi don.t they have any wildlife in Iceland and Greenland . ?
Icelandic is the most difficult germanic language in the world
so in iceland, the towns around reykjavík aren't considered suburbs since they govern themselves, so calling my hometown vestmannaeyjarbær the 5th largest town is a bit misleading since its actually number 13 when ranked by population
That 20-year-old, who wants to move to the US in the South, might die in the heat and humidity. No way, his body is adjusted for that. Almost anywhere in the US is going to be warmer than Iceland. Maybe he should build up to 4 or 5 hours in the sauna?
Hopefully a Icelandic football club qualifies for UEFA Europa Conference League this season.
🇮🇸
17:32 whata bro what is that country that looks so cool theres no way its iceland iceland is difrent reykjavík or mossfellsbœr
If you knew the true history of Iceland, you would need weeks to recover.
I’m begging you to finish the US states explained.
WA explained pleaseeeee
you can see greenland from iceland
Thanks a lot for good explaining of the Wonderful Country. My thai friends and I visited the first time Iceland in June this year. So My dream came through ..... I have known a family from ICELAND in early 2000 in Kalmar. Our sons played in the same football team of a small town of Sweden.
Next summmer we shall take a more explore of ICELAND, surely. Nature beauty and peaceful country for me.
Best Wishes from STOCKHOLM - SWEDEN 🎁
Ég elska Ísland
Dude get a mic, you have to have good audio if you want this channel to grow
Transcript is pretty labored. You may want to try a different service, or correct its multiple wrong guesses and incorrect Icelandic place names. Otherwise I enjoyed the concise and interesting history.
I hope you finish the Washington State video soon! It's my home state and coming up soon on the list. It's a powerhouse of productivity and home base to industry giants like Amazon, Microsoft, Boeing, Costco, Expedia, Alaska Airlines and Starbucks! Also packs well above its size in natural wonders and resources, partially leading to it's large role in data warehouses and the physical 'internet' side of things that require large amounts of energy. Mind you, this energy is mostly green and harvested from a combo of hydropower, wind, and nuclear power. The state even has a surplus of energy and exports it to California, Oregon and Idaho!! Fascinating how a state's energy policy plays a role in shaping the state's economy and industry. Washington also has the only state flag with a former president on it as well as the only state flag with a green background! This is just the start . . .
4:38 song?
Literally in the description....
@@Liftium i am the smartest guy on earth thanks
Im so sad tjat Im watching this bc Trump. If only Trump had a fraction of the interest and respect you are offering. The inuit are finally shaking of danish colonialism restoring language and selfgoverning, having the legal option of independence at a time of their choosing. Now Trump has intervened to recolonize stressing out greenlanders and making parent comfort their crying children as US military occupatuon is threatened. Keep up your fact based work and your much needed focus on social development❤
Forgot this guy existed
What does that even mean? He releases videos pretty regularly giving how long his videos are.
@@frazierk300 I forgot this guy existed means I forgot he existed. Self explanatory.
