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 - kzbin.info/www/bejne/qoS9op-Pe8mkes0. 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. -Carter and Quinn

Hyped for your next state video. love iceland

[@goatbackr380]

Great video man. You deserve more views!

[@captainclark2337]

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!

[@crumbybooch1851]

just got back from a trip there, definitely one of the coolest places i’ve ever been. overall has a chill vibe

[@wife9571]

ANOTHER TII MASTERPIECE LETS GOOOOOO 🔥🗣️🗣️🗣️🚨🚨🚨🚨

[@BMWE90HQ]

LFG!

[@goatbackr380]

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.

[@sebbvell3426]

All my love to Iceland 🇮🇸 from Venezuela 🇻🇪

[@johnathandoe6034]

Im finally going to Iceland this winter after wanting to go all my life, and this video is literally perfect!!!

[@fuffthebucks7266]

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

[@ThatIsInterestingTII]

Thank you so much! Means a lot

[@jck956]

Facts

[@csamsmith53]

your pronunciations are enlightening. Great job.

[@riowhi7]

Outstanding work! I am beginning college this fall for History/Journalism. In-depth, documentary-based works like these are a great inspiration for me. Iceland is an extremely fascinating country, and it’s often overlooked as just a minor Nordic nation. I liked that you mentioned the nation’s (partial) Celtic roots, as it reminds us that its history is much more complex than we might initially think. I am genuinely looking forward to new additions to this series, as well as the US explained. (Take your time!)

[@zinniasj]

You guys are delightful. Makes me feel happy, hopeful (and old) to see such young talented people with such commitment to their work. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@Dispatcher-kv2im]

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.🇺🇸⭐️

[@ThatIsInterestingTII]

I just finished the script for Arkansas, so it should be up in the next week or two!

[@Dispatcher-kv2im]

@@ThatIsInterestingTII thanks so much for letting me know🇺🇸⭐️

[@PhilipODette]

The U.S. explained Arkansas is coming up! Can’t wait 😛

[@SolaceEasy]

Great work, guys!

[@jck956]

Love videos like this They seem to take a while but it’s well worth the wait!

[@Infinity-ty1pl]

This was a very good video, you've clearly put a lot of effort into this, great job!

[@Liftium]

The timing wow.... next weekend is Icelandic festival in Gimli Manitoba.

[@imnollii]

hello from minnesota! always wanted to go to gimli and see lake winnipeg!

[@texanfournow]

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.

[@sebbvell3426]

You should make a video talking solely about Svalbard archipelago

[@sebbvell3426]

Nice to see you again

[@weston.weston]

❤ Carter's content.

[@JH-fb3mp]

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")

[@flamethefurry3516]

The fact that Reykjavík's average January minimum temperature is less cold than cities like Chicago and NYC is crazy

[@LEZ305]

Dope, love this channel

[@chadstacy1446]

Excellent as always!

[@simmilimmi5383]

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❤

[@Cannon530YT]

Great video! The information seemed well researched. I suggest cutting down the length of these videos to 30-45min.

[@godkingnaoki]

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.

[@malikshabazz2065]

great video! 🙂

[@majusmonster]

23:05 "sandur" means literally sand though. you explained sand with extra steps.

[@Aidan_Au]

Thank you for making this video about Iceland! Please make videos for other Nordic countries including Norway, Denmark, and Finland

man that _is_ interesting

[@FlamingBasketballClub]

June 17, 2024 marked the 80th anniversary of Icelandic independence from Denmark. 🗿🗿🗿

[@chadstacy1446]

I loved the part about the Icelandic Dating App!

[@WhoWhatWhen427]

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 . . .

[@fmcevoy1]

I lived in Iceland 50 years ago.

[@Lallapalalable]

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

[@pingnick]

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!?

[@kyleharris8865]

I’m begging you to finish the US states explained.

[@yumirabrito3882]

Icelandic is the most difficult germanic language in the world

[@aang1908]

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

[@WhirledPublishing]

If you knew the true history of Iceland, you would need weeks to recover.

[@helgijonssondrum]

you can see greenland from iceland

Hopefully a Icelandic football club qualifies for UEFA Europa Conference League this season. 🇮🇸

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 🎁
