Iceland XXXIII - The Other World │ Part 128

* * * Fun Facts About Iceland, Icelanders, and Icelandic Culture * * * • Icelanders are very environmentally conscious and take pride in their country's clean air and water. • The Icelandic language is another captivating aspect of the country, with its rich linguistic heritage that Icelanders take pride in. The language has remained relatively unchanged since the Viking Age and resembles Old Norse, considered one of the most challenging languages to learn. The country also boasts one of the highest literacy rates globally. • It is considered good manners to take off your shoes before entering a home in Iceland. • Iceland's unique beauty is undeniable, with its geothermal hot springs, such as the renowned Blue Lagoon, and its position as the most massive geothermal energy producer globally. Icelandic folklore tells the stories of elves, trolls and other mystical creatures, and the country's distinctive terrain is the inspiration for many legends about magical beings. • The naming system in Iceland is also fascinating, with last names derived from the father's first name, meaning surnames don't exist. Instead, Icelanders are the sons and daughters of (traditionally) their fathers. So Sigurður Guðmundsson is the son of Guðmundur and Halldóra Bjarnadóttir is the daughter of Bjarni. • Everyone is referred to by their first name, reflecting the country's tight-knit community and family connections. • Iceland does not have MacDonald’s or Burger King. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - *** TIMEFRAME *** 00:00 Eldvörp – Geothermal area 00:36 Goðahnjúkar – Vatnajökull Glacier 00:53 Hengill – Volcanic area 01:15 Wetlands - In the highlands of Iceland 01:34 Austurengjahver – Geothermal area 01:57 Sog – Old Geothermal area 02:28 Fjallabak Nyrðri – Highlands of Iceland 02:50 Breiðbalakvísl river 03:32 Berjanes – Abandoned farm 03:43 Eldvörp – Geothermal area 04:03 Tungnaá – Highlands of Fjallabak Nyrðri - 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.
