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!

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

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 🇻🇪

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!)

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

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

[csamsmith]

your pronunciations are enlightening. Great job.

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

[sebbvell]

You should make a video talking solely about Svalbard archipelago

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

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

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

[Dispatcher-kvim]

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.🇺🇸⭐️

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

[simmilimmi]

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❤

[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.
