So did the Vikings ever do anything the Romans didn't do? (Besides discover America) the answer is no. Everything the vikings did, the Romans did as well.

I know about the assumption that someone living that far north must obviously live in igloos... I live at 68.3° north latitude in northern Canada, yes above the arctic circle. Last winter we had temps colder than -30°C from mid December through mid March... One thing that I found cool living here the first summer with 24 hours of daylight for 2 months was that I could take photos of rainbows at 2-3 AM. Living this far north is a challenge for sure. I wasn't born up here, I moved here for work, so you have the advantage of being born in Iceland, it's more natural for you to deal with the extremes of the seasons.

Whenever I think about when to visit places, it typically pertains to when exactly is no one else visiting haha.

[@frawolfhd1490]

Ehy, i noticed that your mic kinda hums, try to put a noise gate.

[@sirenarussell9250]

I can definitely see how these questions would get very annoying. You mentioned that the light wasn't consistent but I was more distracted by your "fika" poster in the background. I kept trying to read it. Since you mentioned the sun I want to say I've been following a couple other you tube channels from people in Reykjavik and absolutely loving how big the sun looks in the sky since it stays so low to the horizon in the winter. So cool looking. I can't wait to visit when it's allowed again.

Will you ever go back to the old ancient ways of the viking ancestors and worship praise and pray to the norse gods and goddesses and to also perform rituals and sacrifices and give offerings to the gods

[@brandonhey7797]

I would, as someone from Yorkshire (which was under the Danelaw).

What a lovely young lady.

You all claim to be vikings. Then act like vikings. Come with me, be like the gods. And fight our way to reach for VALHALLA......!!!!!!

[@antoniousai1989]

If I remember correctly, Icelandish Viking settlers were actually farmers and they went to Iceland way after the early Viking raids on northern European coasts. And Vikings were not all the same, Danes, Swedes and Norse people were a bit different even at the time.

You have a great sense of humor! You cracked me up with the igloo reference. By the way, I believe that it’s pronounced ig-loo just like you said it.

[@diegoarmandoterandelgado3652]
