My Visit to Iceland

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 13 ส.ค. 2024
- The first of hopefully several videos about Iceland. I visited for 4 days, and saw Rekjyavik, did the Golden Circle and a 2 day tour along the South coast, past the black sand beaches, and to a glacier and ice cave.
0:00 - Iceland?
0:37 - Icelandic
1:30 - Iceland's scenery
2:23 - Waves and eruptions
3:29 - Northern lights en.vedur.is/weather/articles/...
4:28 - Family tree
5:30 - Prices
6:09 - Heat and electricity
7:27 - Hot baths
The dynamic lighting in Iceland is really impressive, it looks like they've taken a lot of inspiration from Skyrim in their level design. They could perhaps do with a bit more foliage and to clear up the in-game currency though.
The game only runs in 1080p and it's extremely laggy running at only 20-25 fps. It also has no story which is bad in my opinion
Good joke yes yes
hello!!! i am an icelander thank you so much for visiting our country :D
i am so glad you enjoyed your stay and iceland's hospitality (and ritz crackers!)
Ritz are the best crackers!
It's hard not to enjoy a stay in Iceland. I fly over twice a year. Can't get enough of the place
I'm from Iceland. When I went to Germany to meet my girlfriends family I spent hours just staring at the sheer amount of forests along the autobahn. And I may have seemed crazy but the first thing I wanted to do was to go into the forest behind their house. Once they visited Iceland I'm sure they understood.
wholesome :D
Fantastic video, we loved it
Looking forward to the others you are putting together
10:10 : Thatcher moment
Frfr
Lmfao
LOL
Very cool! Looking forward to the follow up videos.
Iceland seems like such a beautiful place. Hopefully, I can visit it before the world ends.
Hurry. This is a sign
You were in Iceland at the exact same time I was! It’s surreal to see locations in this that I visited a day or two if not same day I saw it. It’s like revisiting! Glad you shared the sentiments I did about the country! Absolutely breathtaking
I love all the music in this video!
I would love travel vlog phillip, this is interesting content
I used to date a girl who studied nordic languages and cultures at university, fell love with Icelandic language, then moved there and has been living there for like 8 years. I've heard it's a wonderful place.
@@kliksphilip No, I haven't but I'd like to some day, but I'm poor.
Feel like youtube has been hiding this video from me or something. I've seen your Petra, Jordan, and Wadi Rum videos and come back to them sometimes because the commentary is that good. Great video, will be checking out the other iceland vids.
One of the few countries I would like to visit at some time...
I really like that landscape
i think its kinda funny how just because i am icelandic, i HAD to watch this video. very well made and a good video, thanks for making it
I'm glad your holiday didnt get cancelled!! i'm on mine now! -Your local tesco fan :P
I swear these videos are so underrated, I love them
always like these
lookin forward to the ones to come
I've always wanted to visit iceland. thank you for this
I've always wanted to go to there, it's always been a place I've been fascinated with
They seem like a really cool people, if I could move to anywhere in Europe, then I'd probably choose there :o
Then go there....
@@ogonbio8145 don't have a job there sadly
Or permission to work there
Or any means to get there
@@sandwich2473 you have the means to do pretty much anything. If you really want to make it happen then get a list going of what you need to achieve and start working it off. instead of just living youll be working towards a goal that you chose for yourself. way better than working towards a school degree or something. and if you never make it to iceland then find your own iceland that you can afford to make it to. Dont just say you cant
@@ogonbio8145 it was always a kind of "do this if all ties to where you are just now were to disappear"
those ties aren't really ones I'd like to break
my family are all super close and tight-nit, we all stick together more or less
When I moved into my own place, it was within a kilometer of my parent's place, and my sister's place
@@ogonbio8145 ok
Me and my family got stopped by the 2010 eruption when we were supposed to go home to Sweden after vacation in Thailand. We flew for a tiny bit and then had to most of it by buss, we did get to stay for free in Greece for a few days which was kinda cool, before we got to continue on the busses untill the skies were clear enough for us to quickly fly over the Baltic sea.
I visited Iceland myself a few months ago, it’s awesome seeing you visiting a lot of the same places! My favourite part had to be feeding the swans/geese in the centre of Reykjavik (they’ll happily eat out of your hand) :)
It’s fun to watch a view of someone about a place you been.
All video I could catch my self, yea I been there, yea I done that, oh that’s the best part haha…
And so on
love your vlog style videos! looking forward to part 2.
Was that sarcasm at 10:08 saying that the pools would be great if they were privatised? As an Icelander I'm so thankful that they're not privately owned and affordable for everyone, it's probably one of the best things Iceland has going for it imo.
I'm pretty sure its sarcasm
@@drearyplane8259 I really really hope it is
Thanks kliks, I always love seeing your travel videos as they bring me great joy.
It is on my bucket list for sure. Looks beautiful. Looking forward to seeing more videos about the trails you did.
Please visit Liechtenstein and make a video on it. That would be so cool. Small countries are your thing
Always send my dad these videos in the hopes of convincing him to visit these amazing places
i love your travel videos
I went in 2014. Very amazing place!
When were you there? I almost just got back from Iceland, I was there from the 3rd to the 8th and saw a bunch of the same stuff you did and even lived RIGHT next to the indoor swimming pool you visited in Reykjavík.
@@kliksphilipthis is such a coincidence dude, I am in Iceland right now, I am coming back today but I arrived on the 10th. Watching your opening shots I was like “wow, I was just there, in the same spot, taking the same photo”. It is super cool that you were in Iceland at the same time 😄the ice cave was the coolest thing I’ve ever visited, worth the walk, and we lucked out because yesterday’s tours were cancelled due to weather, but we had visited the day before yesterday
I’m excited for a future Iceland video! My knowledge of doctor who monsters and random lore would make me sure to avoid incest if I was Icelandic!
Such a fantastic country and Reykjavík is a wonderful place. Highly recommended for all to visit, in either the winter to see the stunning frozen waterfalls and glaciers or in the summer to see what lies beneath the snow and ice. The lava caves were a real highlight and the local food tours.
Iceland is a great place, I went to it just before COVID hit worldwide, at the start of Janurary 2020. Wanted to see the northern lights, no luck alas, but everything else was great there
Lucky bastard. I went to Alabama to see my great grandma in Jan 2020
Always wanted to go to Iceland. Should have upscaled the place while you were there though.
I'm from Australia and i visited Iceland for a whole month in 2016! Iceland is lovely i would love to go again!
Also i can pronounce eyjafjallajökull B)
i was on iceland last week, stayed 4 days, we could have met at some point, hahaha.
its amazing.....
amazing...
"imagine how great they'd be if the would be privatised" xDxD love your humour
After cooking in the tub Phillip seemed to experience how it feels to take a really hot sauna.
awesome video. i wonder if icelanders use scents to mask the shower smell
Nice! Always wanted to visit. Looking forward to other videos.
I was a tour guide before the plague and you've got potential. These 10 minutes were perfect
I went Iceland back in 2018. What a lovely country. The people and the environment are amazing!
it literally doesnt matter what are you talking about i just always enjoy it and you have the charm to keep our brains engaged to your speech ,you have a gift 🎁
i cant believe you were litteraly swiming in the pool that is 100 meters away from my home in the past weeks and i was oblivious to it.
Greenland would have been green if it weren't for the murder of Atnas
Elves/gnomes (tomte) are real!
#gnometruth #gnomepilled
I've never really thought about Iceland until this video. Philip, now I want to visit it!
I'm glad you like our country! Have been watching your channel since 2016 and love the videos! keep it up man :)
i got a pizzer from iceland too
-burger40
burger40 moment
Looks amazing! Can't wait for part 2 !!
I really want to go to Iceland now
That is a very, very interesting pig.
Always love your travel vids!
Thanks for the video kind sir. Great stuff!
this was a really good vid, i have liked it three times
Wow, now I actually wanna go to Iceland
I was always the kind of guy to just love cold weather's and baths
But, I don't really like flying, so maybe I have to get over that somehow lol
three tour videos by philip, how splendid
I can actually understand quote a fair bit of written Icelandic as my West-Norwegian dialect is remarkably similar in both spelling and pronunciation!
glad you enjoyed the stay here in Iceland and your cometary is relaxing as always however i just wanted to point out that we dont have a problem with incest as mention at 4:32 as the origin of that saying is just from a old joke someone made on the internet, and the site u see at 4:38 is just a database of every single icelandic person thats been since essentially settlement and does not exist to combat a problem that dosent exist, however i dont fault you for beliving that since many sites online still say it and tour guides tend to make fun of it.
otherwise a great video!
Iceland is such a cool country, its like Norway but they made it more unique
very nice summary. i enjoyed it. now i want to visit iceland :D
Always wondered why the Icelandic people we met on a walk were impressed by the trees height. All the foliage and wildlife in Dorset seemed extremely mid-tier/unnoteworthy to me, they weren't exactly giant redwoods, so was definitely confusing at the time.
Yoo im glad you enjoyed the country im from!
And even more happy that you were so fond of it :)
Would've been amazing to meet you passing by but i sense you were majority of your trip down south where all the cool stuff is^^"
As someone who lives further north of iceland, it's quite the burden for us to goto Reykjavik, and most dont enjoy it due to taking it's time getting there x)
But it's the only place for miles with cinemas and good shops, so it's a must :P
Keep up the nice vids, man!
woooo! icelandic representation! (from iceland)
it’s always fun to see someone talk about iceland
Great video Phillip!
I instantly thought about Dr. Peacock... xD
I'm going to Guernsey next week. Whilst not as fabulous or impressive as Iceland, Sark and Herm are still pretty damn cool! Definitely gonna do a day trip to each of them :)
bahahaha the edit at 8:00 was so good
hello! do you think you could update the music perhaps? it's not 2009
Love this video Phil! shoutout to Ritz
Haha very funny with the privatization threat
I got back from my holiday in Iceland today. Was wondering why they use so much corrugated metal on their buildings. Did you do the south coast tour as well as the golden circle?
The corrugated metal is used to protect the buildings for water leakage and is probably the best protection for the heavy rainy storms every winter, it can sometimes rain non-stop for 12 months. Snow is rare in the south part of Iceland.
FOSS HOLL... I pronunce it!
How strange, I'm currently on holiday in 🇮🇸 Iceland.
Actually, Iceland used to be covered with trees. 25% to 40% covered in trees. Then humans happened. They didn't use it to build houses because they used it all for building boats and turning into charcoal. And sometimes just removed it to make room for more livestock. Unfortunately the whole deforestation thing has by now caused huge amounts of topsoil to erode away.
Very apetor title of you
Video is great, informative, and funny. So why does it not get recommended ://
Iceland was one of my favourite places ive been. Shame its dark half the year other wise it would be a great place to live.
Dude I literally just returned from Iceland, this is perfect
kojima went on holiday in iceland during the time silent hills was being worked on, thats why death stranding looks like iceland
This is content I can get behind
0:58 Tim the enchanter reference?
thank you for this insight, fartmaster
4:00 thats a skyrim screenshot :D
Thanks for visiting! You pronounced glacier wrong
Public pools are the backbone of the country
@@kliksphilip Well, I've always heard it similar as 'glaze'. But who am I to judge, my mother tongue isn't English 😛
@@kliksphilip It's pronounced glacier, not glacier. Hope this helps!
It's only a matter of time until kliksphilip visits greenland now
@ 0:22 - pretty sure I drove through that in a Bugatti in Forza
4:47 First time I think I've ever heard Philip reference Doctor Who!
Ah, so this is why mum's go to Iceland.
Hmm... I also set my shower to the temperature of the sun... Maybe I should give Iceland a try!
As someone from Iceland, kinda nodding that you mentioned the dangers are explained (mainly for the beach), yet people aren't going after them, I think 2-3+ people died in 2019? Wave swallowed them and couldn't rescue them/too dangerous and yes, they were tourists, definitely got the 'where is the best place to see the northern lights?' question dozen of times in the winter when I worked at a gas station
"the guys introduce themselves as grunggjsbdghitidottir" love that for them!
In Spanish, Iceland is Islandia that can be translated to Islaland, Island, Island Land.
Ice melt down in localization.
Nice
You came to my country without saying hi? Maybe next time.
6:54 captions, lol
Hohol at 1:05
Hot tubs that hot can cook you if you're not careful.
De_basalt2 already?
