- Iceland, a land of perpetual mystique, captivates the curious with its beauty and untamed landscapes. Nestled in the North Atlantic, this island nation stands as a testament to the raw forces that shape our planet. Its stark, otherworldly scenery exudes an eerie charm, inviting exploration into the heart of the unknown. Volcanic cauldrons breathe life into geothermal wonders like Hverir, where bubbling mud pools and hissing fumaroles paint an ethereal picture. Icelandic folklore weaves tales of hidden creatures, adding an air of magic to the misty fjords and moss covered lava fields. The dancing Northern Lights illuminate the night sky with an enchanting dance that sparks the imagination.
@4:07 Fagradalsfjall eruption in 2021 did not occur without warning. There were, in fact, earthquake swarms in the area for many weeks prior. Scientists and the public were well aware and watching and waiting for a possible eruption. The activity on the Reykjanes peninsula has reemerged in recent weeks. Much excellent coverage on TH-cam from many Icelandic channels for anyone truly interested.
Do you have a suggestion for any particular channels, im honestly not familiar lol
I second the request from @desert_holly
Lol yep, I was just gonna say, This guy didn't do any homework. Makes you wont what else he doesn't know about. I do know the caves he talks about are all old lava tubes. I suspect some of the others is all embellished but us volcano watchers know a lot about Icleands volcanos and eruptions.
Yes, Just Icelandic is a great channels. he does stories on all the towns and landscapes and all the latest on the volcanoes. Really nice guy and does the most beautiful photography.@@desert_holly
@@desert_holly This is a good channel with lots of reliable info about Icelands volcanoes. As a bonus he is also quite funny. www.youtube.com/@JustIcelandic
I had numerous deployments to Iceland and was stationed there for a year. It is a fantastic place, especially if you’re a fisherman. The people are very friendly and their sweaters are to kill for.
Skoafos (about 200 feet tall) and Thingvalier (sorry for the poor spelling) are more than worth the time and effort to visit.
Always a red flag when I'm shown footage or images unrelated to the subject matter, like being shown a jet engine when being talked to about turbine electric power generators.
ANd the non-Icelandic farmer with foeign sheel, lol. As an Icelander I also do wonder about the myths here.....they are notknown to me.
fagradalsfjall erupted after more than 3000 earthquakes,so whithout warnig might be slightly off.
the north atlantic is the best mapped ocean on our planet,there is no new continent there.
3000?
nope.
it was over 40000(!). :-D
a friend of mine lives in Reykjavik. She was pregnant at the time and she had a (more or less) constant feeling of sea sickness due to the shaking.
but yea. You are absolutely correct. It was over a month of warning lights. They new it was coming, just not exactly where.
and you are also correct about the continent.
Iceland is at a widening plate boundary combined with being on top of a mantle plume/hot spot. not a continent.... yet?
@@oskarkeyser i was talking about the last few hours before the eruption,the initial earthquakes started many months before the eruption so even 40000 earthquakes might be at the low end of the estimates😀
Iceland lies on the mid-Atlantic ridge, as do the Azores and other island groups. It is built entirely of lava rising from the spreading zone. Before the recent spate of eruptions in the west of the island the area had been quiet for 800 years. I have no idea where all this stuff about a missing continent comes from.
It's at the beginning of the vid. It's mostly submerged, with Iceland the only part tall enough to stick out of the ocean. In Ice Ages past, and sea levels low, it would theoretically have been dry land.
The landscape is awesome..would love to visit Iceland in the near future. Tqsm 4 sharing the beauty of Iceland..may God bless you..😊
I've been to Iceland twice. It is well worth the visit!
How long did it take you to visit all these special sites ? I think I would completely forget space and time in one of those ice caves .
The first time I went to ICELAND, we were there for 3 days. That wasn't enough, so the next time, we spent 10 days. That was better!
The energy there is amazing. It feeds your soul.
@45 seconds: It formed in the last week of January 1700 during a cataclysm - you can find it clearly documented in historic records - do some research instead of claiming "no one knows".
A farmer tending to his sheep isn't called a farmer they're called a shepherd, the clue is in the name. Also BTW what were we being told that it isn't, I take it you couldn't be bother to tell us either.
I greatly enjoyed my tour of iceland. Thank you for sharing with all of us.Who can't afford to travel😊
They are all "the best!" Thank you for the beautiful video. My next trip is to Iceland.
I don't just want to visit . I want to move there .
Do not do a tour. Rent a car and tour the Golden Circle yourself! Well worth it. Visit all Waterfalls and Black Diamond Beach
Thank you for the excellent photography showing all angles to give clear perspectives, never done in my experience. Usually one is left confused about size, but not with these photos.
Surely, you don't believe the guy posting this actually took those photos, do you? All he did was use someone else's photos and videos, used a narration made by a computer and collected the cheque from TH-cam. Oh I forgot, he made up a title which means absolutely nothing but it's designed to con people into thinking it's something special. Exactly what is it we're not being told? Absolutely nothing. Like almost every country in the world it has some great scenery, adding BS about fairies,elves and ghosts is simply to make you think it's special.
Every country also has a small percentage of people who believe in Myths and old wives tales. Very few icelanders actually believe it. In fact you'll find a lot of it is overplayed to keep the tourists happy. The whole thing is nothing more than a money making exercise. I assume you're American, they tend to believe everything on TH-cam is real. I've been around the world a few times, but never got to see Iceland, but I assure you it's everything we're told it is.
Theres gullible ppl the world over its just when theyre American the drooling starts over how to get their ducats - well, someones footing all these cons. The person who thinks this was on par with a Nat'l Geo doc probably is busy getting that Nigerian prince his cashiers check so the Swiss bank willrelease his kingdoms gold bullion
Sure, just steal copyrighted images and make a youtube video without permission. Nothing wrong about that?!
For North Americans, Iceland is a mysterious island. Thanks for the presentation.
One could do without the legends.
and the crap narration full of shit
Well I hate to tell people that sure doesn't look like it's weeping
Flowery, empty poetry...
There are a number of errors and wrong information in this video, seemingly all made for dramatic effect, ignoring actual facts.
Fortunately, these errors are mostly cosmetic and are not really relevant.
Errors? Nonsense!
I am impressed with the fact that the narrator could pronounce those tongue twisters they call names in Iceland. I tip my hat to you sir.
amazing what bots can be programmed to do
I can confirm that most, if not all, of the icelandic names were mispronounced!
@@Steinninn I will have to take your word for it, because I know nothing about the Icelandic language.
"Smaller than adult giraffe" ... but larger than a baby rhino. 😂😂😂
Beautiful! I want to visit
Enjoyed this video.
13:50 Looks exactly like an aircraft jet propulsion engine, that's pretty cool.
I would love to visit and explore Iceland.
About the caves, they are natural named Lave tubes. But people bested them for their usage.
WOW!! Outstanding!
This was interesting despite the misleading title. I enjoyed it
Thank you very much
Iceland as a continent is very interesting and gives rise to the idea that during the last glacial maximum, it may have been so large that humans could have walked across to Greenland and the Americas…
Very nice
The only thing I had not heard about Iceland until now is that it is part of a continent (Islandia?) instead of being created by underwater volcanoes….I’ll have to look into that.
Where continental tectonic plates push apart, it is because huge volumes of magma rise from deep in the earth and push the giant "rafts" of tectonic plates apart. This usually happens deep in the middle of the ocean, like the Mid-Atlantic ridge. But Iceland is the only place on earth where this geologic process rises high enough to be seen above sea level. Iceland is constantly splitting apart in the middle, with the North American plate going west and the European plate going east. Leakage of magma provides volcanic lava displays anywhere up on the surface the leakage busts out to be visible. Due to all the accompanying earthquakes, this is not a good place to be standing at the edge of any cliff.
Totally amazing
Kebler elves? Cookies! OMG! It's the same old thing. Outta here!
I'm sure it's tremendously self-gratifying to think of oneself as promulgating a "new" theory; but suggesting that Iceland is its own continent completely ignores the observable fact that it exists on top of two separate tectonic plates that are moving apart at about the same speed as your fingernails are growing.
Lovely pictures but that is about it!
Well done with those Icelandic place names - you did very good! btw, an interning little vid.
Ugh! Our cheeky, dry humored narrator is a computer voice!
Iceland reminds me of a super volcano.😳
Tears of a giant. This entire world is biology. Old carcasses that have turned to rock through time a pressure, metamorphosis.
Visited many of these areas. East Iceland is the only area I have not visited
I had forgotten about the submerged continent of IceLandia
COOL HISTORY INDEED 😎 👌 👍
9:33 Very weird warping. Just like Google Street View when you move between different views...
Grand report
For someone like us…
Who would never go there,
It’s too far away, too far north,,
And so on….
24:48 Fahrenheit and Celsius confusion (-: Should be 198°F or 92²C That aside, WOW we toured Iceland for a few days in 2022 and didn't see much of what Wise Owl covered.
Two places where it's clear this is a robot reading: "manmade" and " crystal clear" so far. Can't you give a reader a job?
Thus is definitely a channel built by AI 🙄
@ 13:49 When talking about Steam turbines don't show a Gas turbine with a combustor.
Always wanted to go ❤
this channel is real scientific...
what is it about narrative that draws us in?
Top of the pressure cooker… Valve
Ok watched the whole video, what was different than what we have been told?
This guy is good
We human's pretty much all know and the vast majority accept the fact that at one time almost unfathomably long ago; There was but "ONE" continent. Most often referred to as "Pangia". And that prior to it's existence there wasn't a continent. Pangia was formed by the various eruption's deeply below when they erupted and eventually reaching the surface, condensed aka cooled and form what we now refer to as "LAND".
There is a reason we refer to the Yonger Dryas as the end of the "LAST ICE AGE". There were ice age's prior to the last. We also know to various percentage of degree's, just where the Magnetic North Pole's were prior to where it is today. However, I've never been able using any and all of the data I using the internet today. Can figure out exactly. Just where Pangia prior to it breaking up and causeing the continent's we have today was. With all the volcanic activity that ICE LAND has and continues to have going on beneath it. It's a safe assumption that the area known today as ICE LAND was originally Pangia.
Between any and all of the various Magnetic Pole changes, the 26,000 year cycles envolveing the precession of the planet. A particular location on the planet today, which is directly under the noon day sun, wasn't or hasn't alway's been in the same exact what we today would refer to as geographical location.
Proof: The Sahara is now and has been for numerious millenium's a desert; But it hasn't alway's been. If a plush subtropical location can become a desert without any aid from human's and our supposedly causeing "Green House Effect's". How exactly does a subtropical location become a desert to the degree it is today? Human's causing climate change is total bullshit; When one realize's, the climate today in any location isn't the same as it was some 12,500 or nearly half of the precssion cycle, not to mention the Magnetic Pole changes.
But then were only human, the one and only biological life form that can, will and does consider ourselves, though it's never been debate able. The more intelligent biological life form on this planet only we refer to as our's. We are so pompose that since almost day one of our existence we've been not only obsessed with but mandate that "WE" unlike any other biological life form; Have a purpose! Going out on a limb and agreeing, assuming there is a purpose. I'd spell it "G R E E D". Greed is the one thing which isn't debateable with any other biological life form, when no other biological life form practice's it. It is the one thing that has cause us to evolve from what we once were, to what we are today, and will be tommorow.

Get a grip on reality, you lost it.
@@FlattardsArePathetic Me thinks U need to get a grip and read your Bible the World is nothing but Dead Body Parts. Now go look at the sections I mentioned instead of trying to disprove me without doing the research.. Teacher would have given you a Minus F for No effort.
Spent 2 weeks in Iceland for the 2022 August/Sept. eruption. After three days we went up the the Westfjords country and wow! This video is full of a lot of nonsense and exaggerations. Never a mention of the waterfalls of the Westfjords at all although it is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful parts of Iceland. After we left Westfjords we went to the Snæfellsjökull Volcano on the Snaefellsnes Peninsula. BTW if you're going to Iceland on a budget the lodging up there is inexpensive compared to places in the more touristy south.
My daughter and I went for a 4-day weekend. Leaving from the East Coast it is quicker to get there than other places we might call "Europe." One important hint: don't make disparaging remarks about elves. There, they are taken seriously. As our young and beautiful tour guide warned us--in perfect English--"Don't piss off the elves." Words to live by.
The illustration you showed of a turbine is a gas turbine not one that uses steam.
A completely random bunch of subjects haphazardly thrown together, with a commentary so annoying that I ended up watching the video with the sound turned off, because the landscapes are beautiful. Anybody who wants to KNOW things should look elsewhere.
I wonder if the man-made caves were the ones mentioned in the sagas where the Vikings were finding the last remnants of the population that was there before them that they were killing off?
That was the Irish Culdees, who kinda took off when the Norse folk showed up.
When God made the world, God put all the leftover bits in Iceland. But God had made just enough trees. That's why there are none in Iceland. --T Clancy, Red Storm Rising.
There quite a few trees in Iceland, and were considerably more before the original woodlands were cleared for building purposes. Except in areas of conifer forestation, most Icelanic trees are low-growing willows. Hence the joke: what should you do if you are lost in an Icelandic forest? Stand up !
I’ve seen that fall but can’t read the Icelandic language ! But was there for 3 weeks + was able to read the signs in American language !
American language, or ENGLISH LANGUAGE?
Iceland was invented by The Vikings. They were also the first to Reach The Moon, also invented the wristwatch, supermarket, zip fastener and Pooh Tin...
Loved ALL of it! Thank you SO much for the stories! And, I think my favorite was the ice caves!~~~
video full of factual errors!
The stories are the worst, totally made up by this owl
I think I'll stick with the scientists for now. I-ll leave the spook stories to the "History" Channel.
and I did see all, I must say that Iceland is magical and worth to see it , would I like to live there?? I am not sure but it is possible, living half a year during dark and sleeping second half of the year while sun is shining, that is one thing did bother me ( as if one year is your one day - day and night)
I'd not so. It's a gradual process.
THE WATER IS THE TREASURE
So,, Iceland is EXACTLY as we were told. This Damn clickbait simply proves it.
They are more concerned what's on Mars.
Yet the Body of the Giant God Atlas is called Australia and New Zealand. His Head in the Mouth of the Leviathan.
13:52 A jet engine? What on Earth is that doing in a geothermal plant?
The text is American and the voiceover is British, hmmm ...
They r also some of the smartest people I’ve ever met !
what the hayola is the title anout? The geology alone is sufficient, no need for the allusion of mysticism! Its a turn of for academis
Why at 13:52 do you show an illustration of a gas turbine engine ... NOT A STEAM TURBINE??? It's this sort of 'technical sloppiness' that renders a presentation (such as this) as worthless '
click bait' ... too bad.
Where are the trees
Iceland is an amazing place and is being modified in real-time - an incredible example of how the land on this planet is formed....why talk about spirit/supernatural nonsense? It is an insult to people who aren't hard of thinking.
SMH. Maybe, just maybe, one day... Someone may tell the WHOLE truth 🥺🤔
It's "Ari the Learn-NED"; you pronounce that last N-E-D syllable.
It's an AI robot me old mate.
@@1258-Eckhart And a clueless one, evidently....
Some believe that this video is somewhat silly😅😅
It's a good video, with interesting scenery and narration. We could do without the conspiracy theory type clickbait title, though. Who's being told what by whom? Nobody/nothing. "They" haven't told us anything about Iceland.
The narration is bull... full of made up noonsence
In Iceland theres no shortage of excuses - anything that cant be explained is blamed on giants, elves, ogres, fairies, vikings, volcanos, meteors, and Americans and white ppl. Didnt do yr homework? An elf threw it in a volcano. Get caugt cheating? It wasnt me, it was a small giant who looks like me. Love iceland, maybe Ill make it there one day.
🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁LION c LIKE No. 83
Clickbait title o the order of "they lied to you," but informative video.
Tengo nuevo video
If you take the time to study some old world maps you'll see that there is another continent/landmass right next to Iceland.
I would guess just like some sunken cities. that we have discovered ...that this landmass has been submerged under the water.
Interesting video but who wrote that cheesy script? And the AI narration is pretty bad.
Folks from round these parts , bain't be goin' up t' that there Iceland . They do say there be strange goin's on aaarfter midnoight . AHAAAAAARRRRR !
Starfort?
Icelandia continent plate seems like nonsence as the rift is place where the oceanic plates arise. The sunken continental plate under Greenland is in direct contradiction with no observation of active volcano in Greenland.
The occasional text on a white page is strange. But I give this guy credit for pronouncing all those Icelandic names.
❤ my mother R.I.P would always be talking about the blue lougoon ❤ i ( hope i spelled that some what right 😅 ) an yeah she always say to me about some tale of elves an fairy an sometype of crystal an omg the troll s 😅 bed time story's, her mom an dad would tell her that thier family told them, never said much after when she was directly asked 😂,
so 🤔 tbh idk how this blue lougoon is just recently found its decades if not centuries old,
Hollow earth..the alien world "extra terrestrials" truly live in..😂
The title to this video makes no sense. It should have just been something like the coolest things to see in Iceland.
Iceland seems like it would be such an incredible place to live or visit. It looks so beautiful and full of things to see and experience. Any video where I've seen the Iceland people in it makes it seem like they are very friendly and nice. They seem like the kind of people you would want to share a country with. I know that last sentence sounds dumb but you know what I'm trying to say.
I would move there in a minute if I could if it wasn't so cold and far north. I don't think I could ever get used to the cold. Nor do I think that my sleep schedule could handle the short winter days and the long summer days. Especially since I live in Florida in The United States. It looks like it's very windy there too. Is it?
It would definitely take some time to get adjusted to the metric system. I definitely don't think I could afford to live there. I would imagine that it's very expensive to live there especially with it being an island and with the U.S. dollar being worth so little. I wonder how much a normal job pays there.
I wonder if they see the Northern Lights? They must. Do Northern Lights appear in a kind seasonal way. I thought I heard someone from Sweden once say that it was best to visit there certain months of the year to get the best showing of the Northern Lights. I forgot what months she had said and I'm not even certain it was Sweden.
What do the people do for fun or for social interaction since it's so cold? As a tourist, you would be super busy seeing all the attractions that they just showed but if you lived there, I'm sure you don't visit these places that often unless you have a volcano newly erupting. What I'm trying to figure out is how do they meet people and once they have friends what do they do? Like here it's warm so there's a lot of things and activities (like fairs or events) outdoors.
They must spend a lot of time indoors or do they just get used to the cold windy climate and act like it's normal? I won't really think so because I grew up in the northeast of America and none of us were happily outside doing things and it's probably a lot warmer in the winter than Iceland is.
Now that I think about it, I guess the people that lived up north in America who looked forward to skiing, snowboarding, ice fishing, sledding (no dogs included. It's just down a hill and you walk back up) or have kids that play in the snow after it falls probably don't mind the cold as much. Personally in the winter, I couldn't stand clearing all the snow and even the short walk to my car in the driveway I would dread.
I wonder if they have unique kind of things they do to stay social when it's really cold and when it gets dark so early. I'm sure they must go to plays like clubs or bars like us. We would have leagues like for bowling or playing cards and I guess there's always walking around the mall. Of course people have get togethers at their homes but that doesn't help you meet people or make friends. But also there aren't their houses spread out and not that close to each other?
I guess what I really want to know is what is it like to live in Iceland as a native Islander and also how would someone like an American fit in if they ever moved there? Especially if they were in the forties? I don't think I have the means to live there but I still would like to know the answers. I will definitely visit there one day because Island seems like one of those places that if you don't visit it in your lifetime then you would have missed out on something very special.
Plus, I really need to know because if Trump gets in office this time I will be moving there even if I have to swim there with all my stuff :-) I just don't think I could take the whole world laughing at us again or should I say still continue to laugh at us.
I would hope you move there now with Biden hanging around……
interestig stuff😀, misleading title😒
Just like Detroit. But the names are harder to pronounce. "0_o"
Yeah so how is Iceland not what we're being told? I second that question! Another video that has absolutely nothing to do with the title.
To the narrator, get some lessons in the Icelandic pronunciation, and some romance in your soul.
..alot of Not exactly info, but nice storytelling lol
"Scientists Reveal Iceland is NOT What We're Being Told"
We blew it trying to turn Kenny into a NFL quarterback, he doesn't have the potential to become a great player, his weak arm and lack of looking off the defense makes him a losing prospect i hope we don't waste time with him next year. He had his chance and blew it! I see a future back up QB at most. What Tomlin saw in you is beyond me and for that he has set us back, cause now we have to go QB shopping again!
