* * * Why is Iceland a difficult place to live? * * * Iceland experiences cold and dark winters, with limited daylight hours, and unpredictable weather patterns. Isolation: Iceland is located far from other countries and can feel isolated, especially during the long winter months. Iceland is one of the smaller economies and is currently ranked 109. If this is calculated per inhabitant, taking purchasing power parity into account, then Iceland is in the list of the world's richest countries in place 13. Inflation in Iceland in 2022 was around 8.31%. Generally speaking, poverty is low in Iceland. There is a high level of education, and access to healthcare is subsidized by taxpayers. Unemployment and homelessness rates are low, even if they are growing. That doesn't mean that poverty doesn't exist in Iceland. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - *** TIMEFRAME *** 00:00 Sveifluháls 00:18 Vigdísarvallaleið 00:33 Botanique Garden in Reykjavík 00:51 Ölfusárós 01:30 Seltún 01:39 Wetlands in the Highlands 01:38 Kleifarvatn 02:03 Sveifluháls 03:19 Þingvallavatn 03:29 Kleifarvatn 04:57 Lakagígar aeria 05:19 Kleifarvatn 05:43 Hidden Black beach - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - if you are a fellow video creator, let me support you too. – Please watch the video in 2K because the compression is so high in HD that it degrades the image quality - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Thank you for watching.
