All milling around at the cliff edge waiting to drag each other off, no one hooked up, I mean, when I was 25 I would have just done and enjoyed the adrenaline, but nowadays, yup, agree a WHOLE lot of nope.
Really impressive flying. I had a wonderful experience in the early 1970s of flying much larger USAF Sikorsky H-3s search and rescue helicopters, with two pilots, a flight mechanic and two pararescue guys, for 2 and a half years in Iceland out of Keflavik Airport. Watching these guys landing on the really small helipad by the lighthouse is simply incredible. Absolutely fantastic to watch! Makes me wish I was a few decades younger...
I spent a couple of months in Iceland in 1984. It is Very windy there all the time. You’d get tired of the wind if you aren’t from a windy place. I dare say you wouldn’t want to spend a month at this lighthouse.
@@ihelpdogs Most of the materials came from the forest that used to be there, as well as a concrete plant built there during WWI, since dismantled and not used for any sort of walls or railings anywhere.
Have been there many times -- in flight sim. It's my favorite destination because of the challenge. Don't know if the pilots that go here are fantastic or its easier in real life than it looks but it's exceedingly difficult in flight sim even with VR. Anyway, nice vid, enjoyed.
Great Job you guys! Really enjoyed the video. Thanks. Never even heard of this place before until I was looking at the new scenery being developed by Propstrike Studios for Xplane flight simulator. Now I know where Thridrangar Lighthouse is located, LOL 🙂
Phantastic job! You have my deep respect. I recently listened to an audiobook from Yrsa Sigurðardóttir. In the story one woman and three men are brought to Thridrangar with a helicopter in order to do some repairs on the lighthouse. Their names are Heida, Helgi, Toti (!) and Ingvar (!), sorry if spelled wrong. Maybe your video helped for inspiration ;-)
Why is that terrible elevator music playing the whole damn time? Makes the video unwatchable unless you mute it. Not everything needs cheesy looping hold music over it.
This is amazing. I'd totally live there, but the helipad and walkway are super sketchy. But.....what does it look like inside? It'd be neat if it had a lower level dug into the rock. I just need a studio apartment setup, a generator, a mini fridge, my cat, and a grill.
All that work to build a lighthouse there and they couldn't be bothered to install some type of safety railings around the outside at some point. One wrong step and you are falling to your death.
OMG! exciting! thank u! so much to see but interested in the sole persons who choose to work there..is there a story? this lighthouse beats them all for me...it whispers of the many persons who have lived there..did the find the isolation difficult? it is beyond beautiful but can imagine the outlook and the noise while stormy! no walking in the sleep, eh!
Is it too much to ask for some railings between the helipad and lighthouse? Or maybe they're worried the maintenancs guys would spend too much time leaning on them....
Why did they have to work 36 hours straight with no rest? Why weren't they allowed to sleep over? Seems that being sleep deprived in such a dangerous location is foolish.
because none of this is real dude. You're using your brain, it doesn't make sense because it's not real. Why do ships need lighthouses on clear sunny days? They don't.
They sailed with all the materials there, and man by man they climbed up to the top (about 34 meters high) and with a chain they pulled all of the materials from the boats to the top so they could begin construction :) nafar.blog.is/users/0a/nafar/img/_ridrangar_15.jpg
@@arnarragnarsson3383, Oh I believe it was possible. Just think how many building structures and skyscrapers were built back then without the use of Helicopters.
The first helicopter was made by Igor Sikorsky in 1939. So it could've conceivably been there to lift materials to the top from a boat below, but it appears Arnar seemingly has the 411. Good old fashioned man-ness and grit.
well i mean there were helicopters in development but not in general use around the world. look at the Focke Wolf FW 61. and the US used helicopters at the end of the war to rescue downed pilots in china or Burma i think it was
I was wondering that myself.. "Þrídrangaviti Lighthouse was constructed during 1938 and 1939.[4] It was originally built by hand without machinery, and it was accessible only by scaling the tallest of the three rocky stacks, whose top is 36.576 metres (120 ft) above the sea." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thridrangaviti_Lighthouse

Even just walking from the helipad to the lighthouse looks like a hell of a lot of nope
I could see the actual bags of nope they were carrying. Amazing.
I was just thinking that

160 degree gopro lense can make it look like you are nearly falling off a football pitch
Wanted to see inside lighthouse
Didn't have enough film on hand for a tour of this luxurious resort-style chalet complex.
There is a video by JStu with the inside, it's has a ladder and just enough room for 3 people to lié down.

I love the wind the stronger the better 😊
If they built a helipad, tell me one good reason they couldn't build a fence and walkway
I can watch this over and over and over and over... and every time, I'm overwhelmed.
It was 36 hours of painting for 4 minutes. haha...I kid, I kid. Would love to have seen more of what they were doing there. Incredible scenery...
Everyone of you is braver than me. This was incredibly thrilling to watch. Well done to you all.
This was an astonishing video. Thank you so much for editing and sharing it.
I would pay to spend one week here with food and books.
Exactly what I was thinking!
And a Gilbert Gottfried stand-up show on loop.
Probably one of the coolest jobs to do , I can only imagine how peaceful that place must be .
It is automated, nobody actually lives there. They just check on it every now and then
Painting the floor on 2017 seems like a walk in a park compared to building the damned thing in 1939-1942
Hmmm.... good point. How the hell did they do that???

Also pulled up materials mostly by chain from boats down below.

Surely someone could bring 100 ft of 3/8 stainless cable and rig a safety line for these guys.
It would need to be thicker to carry the weight of their balls.
There was a safety net before. But many birds perished so it was taken away. Bird life VS human life. Not good I think.
@@garethmccray6925 Huge (like their balls) chuckle from me when I read your comment.
Thank you for this great video!
All helicopter and no lighthouse made us sad.
*When the chopper lands*
"Hell yeah, finally I get to go home"
*When they bring out supplies*
"fuck..."

I’m having heart failure just watching this 😲
I cannot believe they scaled the side of that when it was originally built! Helicopters were not common place and fairly new.
que pasada seria trabajar ahi ufff, se repira calma y majestuosidad
Wow! Fantastic job guys 👏🏼 and what a feat of engineering!
So very awesome thank you for sharing
I like much this video. Hi! from Barcelona, Spain.

WOW! This is amazing. Scary, but you guys are awsome. Y'all seem so causally comfortable but cautiously aware in your environment. 👍
just came for the music
I am so impressed!!
Beside building it in the 1930s who did they find to man such a tiny super desolate lighthouse before lighthouses were automated????
I was really hoping to see the inside of it.
It would be awesome to stay there for a week.
One week on that nope would feel like an eternity.
My toes are tingling as I watch this…
How does it look from the inside?
Pretty similar to an alpine chalet/lodge, although oddly the foyer and sun room are done tastefully Victorian.
Need to build a better walkway
@Gerald Dixon Cummings LOL you'd think maybe they could....I don't know....maybe put up railings? So you don't fall of the cliff into the atlantic?
You'd think they'd have built a bridge. That strip between the lighthouse and the helipad is ridiculous.
Yes, that's right. Could be better.
It helps keep vandals away.
What was inside? I can't find any pics!
My palms are sweating just watching this. Looks really dangerous.
Phantastic job! You have my deep respect.

Is that part between helipad and lighthouse as narrow as it looks? It's as if the whole time up there they are 1 step from the fall
Yes just 1 step from 30 meters down.
could use some extreme editing to make it more interesting
Why is that terrible elevator music playing the whole damn time? Makes the video unwatchable unless you mute it. Not everything needs cheesy looping hold music over it.
would be nice to see more inside
I love Iceland. It's the paradise.

Couldn’t give a tour of the lighthouse?
Here from reddit
K Fam Adventures same here
Everybody gangster until someone slips on that algae and becomes fish food.
Best not to stumble! Even a slight miss in footing would give a guy a heart attack. A few guide rails would be a welcome addition, lol.
I was thinking "why are there no rails!?"
There was, but vandals keep stealing them for scrap.
So what exactly did they do there? Is there room inside to sleep & cook?
The paint the lighthouse. No space to sleep or cook
You wouldn't want to drop any of that gear....it's a loooonnnnggg way down!....lol
That's incredible
To bad you didn’t get the whole light house on camera from a far away shot. It would of been a great shot
All that and you can't build a small walkway from the helipad to the building?
Just wanted to see the inside of lighthouse not a bloody helicopter. LOL
いつか行ってみたい😊
Da agonia so de olhar essa altura
I would have watched an hour long video of them repairing it.
I have a lot longer video. Maybe I'll make it later.

Why not showing the building inside...

Thriling
Love this video im curious who plays the music soundtrack in the background. ?..
Greetings from Yucatan- Mexico. Your job is very good but the pilot is great. Who is he? Thnk you for the video
Anyone else wondering why the helicopter doesn't land 90 degrees clockwise so the fellas get out on the side with the path?
Probably something about balance since the "heliport" is longer than large and landing 90 degrees clockwise would let the tail out of it ?
Don't think these guys care.
crikey you wouldn't want to trip while getting out of the chopper !
WOW!
What powers that place though???
That light house looks like it can only fit one or 2 people. If it fits six, then it must also be a mansion.

it there wasn't anyone living there, this is automated and has always been.
@@ArniSPeturs Who was the old fellow that greeted the workers from the chopper?
@@wormpie4932 this was definitely the second trip to the island in the helicopter.
@@wormpie4932 He's just the greeter/host - flown in first to get the fireplace going and get the tea kettle on, make sandwiches, etc.
I wonder what it is going to be when it grows up???
Good God noope. A whole lot of nope. Bet the rock is slippery
Is it too much to ask for some railings between the helipad and lighthouse? Or maybe they're worried the maintenancs guys would spend too much time leaning on them....
Yo no voy ni loca!!
Watching that helicopter fly away leaving you behind has got to be the worse feeling in the world...
No. They chose that life. They knew exactly what they were getting into when they signed up for it.
Why did they have to work 36 hours straight with no rest? Why weren't they allowed to sleep over? Seems that being sleep deprived in such a dangerous location is foolish.
because none of this is real dude. You're using your brain, it doesn't make sense because it's not real. Why do ships need lighthouses on clear sunny days? They don't.
@@jerrysgotapewpew Ships also sail at night, which is why there is a need for lighthouses.
They couldn’t sleep over because they forgot their pajamas.
@anotheryoutube4635 what the hell are you on about? Lay off the crack pipe
Perhaps bad weather would mean they would be stuck there.

How did they build this in 1939 without any helicopters or without the helipad? :O

How do they power it?
A solar cell.
Awesome setting and a fascinating video, but ruined by music. What's wrong with having helicopter and ambient sounds instead?
