      @@BradleyGearhart Just had this random thought, but Newfoundland (The relatively obscure island that I live on) could be an interesting video for you. Since you have an ongoing theme of Nordic history covering some of the Viking settlement and legends of Vinland (Newfoundland) could be cool to see and I haven't seen any history TH-camrs do it.

A company that sometimes had more power than governments in many parts of the world they occupied. The company may make for a good video because it covers the world. Happy Trails

    Good and informal video. Thanks. Have you done a video on Bouvet Island? Also Norwegian, but located on the other side of the planet between South Africa and Antarctica. It's the most remote island in the world. Peter I Island is another one, located 450km from continental Antarctica. Norway also own a huge piece of land (2.7 million sq.km) called Queen Maud Land on the continent of Antarctica. Not a huge amount of history tied to these locations but it should be more than enough for a lengthy video at least. Some of it's history is quite fascinating, and the fact that Norway's biggest border is not with Sweden, but Australia :)

      The background isn't even Jan Mayen. It's a black beach in southern Iceland which I recognized at once because of the rock formations in the background, because I've been there. This is Reynisfjara beach in Vík í Mýrdal, Iceland, and the rock formation is called Dyrhólaey.

      Good catch! This is something that did not catch my attention when I did my research. As strange as it may seem, I did find a few sources online which state his death was in 587. I could not tell you how accurate the dates are though.
