Hi, I need your feedback! Feel free to answer these questions or comment on something different. What did you like about this video? What did you dislike? How could I improve next time? What do you think about the intro?
Excellent video! I learned a lot! Interesting to see the early Viking and Celtic influences and later the changes in religions from Paganism, to Christianity, and then to Lutheranism. I also really liked your cinematic effects and the background music.
Very informative. Iceland has a proud people. As a Norwegian I think Iceland will never again stand alone in finacial turbulent time. We would help our Viking brothers to the west.I think you who are speking in this video have a future doing this. Good job!
This channel definitely deserves more subscribers. Great video. I've never understood how earlier cultures could not see that "deforestation" never helps anyone, and that for every tree cut down two should be planted. It really isn't that hard of an idea. At least whoever named the island "Iceland" was honest about the place. lol.
American of Swedish ancestry, enjoyed Your presentation and knowledge, also impressed with your skill in English, don’t know with certainty but I believe your pronunciation of Scandinavian verbiage is also well done!
I was so excited while I was watching your video! The way of reciting and the whole work in general are gypnotizing and charming. I haven't even been able to take my eyes and ears off. You definitely did good.
Your presentation impressed me enough that I sent a link to a couple of friends, which is something that I very rarely do. I did not, nor will I attempt to fact check your data, but I thought you did an exceptional job in being factual, and not letting a bias influence the facts. I hope that you are that objective. I think the length, scope, and presentation of the subject was appropriate for maintaining interest. Great Job.
In watching this, I realized I knew more of Icelandic history than of Polish history. Seeing that you're Polish, I hope you return to making videos and concentrate on your nation's history and that of surrounding areas. Like most Americans, I am aware of post WW2 history there, if of any. I didn't answer your questions directly. I hadn't glanced at them until afterwards. I do think you should continue with basically the same format, just relaxed, not so stiff. Stiffness is normal when first in front of the camera, but we learn to relax.
Thank you so much for this video! I will be visiting Reykjavik for the first time in a few months and was looking for it's history so I could gain some context before visiting. Well done and thank you again!
My thai freinds asked me to visit ICELAND in jue 2024 So I said Sure... Then I have to say that Wonderful place on Earth. And now I would like to know more. Thank you for your good informative video. We have decided for planing to explore more ICELAND next summer - this time the Western Region. Will be great for us. Best Wishes from STOCKHOLM - SWEDEN 🎁✨✨✨
@@APinchOfHistory Iceland is not considered Scandinavian. As a Norwegian I think that is weird. It is considered Nordic. And I think Norwegians feel a brotherhood to Iceland that is stonger than that of Scandinavia.
In 2021, I watched The Reykjavík Grapevine's TH-cam reporting on the Icelandic volcanco eruption. Thank you for this well-presented glimpse of the years before then and of some of the beautiful country beyond the lava field of the Reykjanes Peninsula.
Well done! A question- I heard that Leif Eriksson on his way to Newfoundland discovered Greenland and, named it so as a marketing ploy to entice people to settle on a big slab of ice. Is there any truth to that?
Good question as a native I can say that it's most likely false. The real story now accepted is that when Leifur came to Iceland he came in the winter just east of Vatnajökull (the big glacier) and so it was very cold, ontop of that much of his lifestock died and if I'm remembering correctly his daughter died also however that may be me misremembering and so since it was cold and he was sad from all the deaths he named the island he found Iceland. And when he then moved on after the winter he sailed further west untill he hit another island in summer where it was warm and green and since it was green there he named this island Greenland. I hope this answers your question.
The "Missed Hardships" is not correct, a translation error. The Icelandic term is "Móðuharðindi", i.e. the "Mist Hardships" or literally "The Misty Hardships", probably due to the gases and volcanic ash from the massive Lakagíga eruption.
With utmost respect sir. Fuck you. I fully respect your choice to believe in what you choose to believe in, but I will vehemently protest having that religion forced on us again. The last time it was under threat of Authority and the sword, I will not accept such a thing again. If you wish to advertise your religion and convert is, try persuading us and educating us rather then demonising our current beliefs. All you do is turn people against your faith out of spite with the way your wording things here.
Well, I'm sorry if my accent isn't perfect, especially while recording a video. I'm not a native speaker. But I think I'm getting better with every video. Try watching some mire recent and let me know if I made any progress.
@@APinchOfHistory I inferred from your name that you are Polish. TG that you did not record this very informative documentary in Polish, I wouldn't have understood more than about 50 words. At least my English is sufficient to understand everything you said (except "followingly" - I have never heard that work before. Consequently?). Thank you for your hard work. I would like to watch more of your documentaries. Good luck

*Very welcome!*
Love your videos, keep it up!
Thank you so much!
Im icelandic. This video is very nice 👍👍
Hello there
Beautifully done 🙏🏻🌌
Thanks a lot Lisa!
Enjoyed this show. Your English is impeccable, look forward to more of your work.
Well done! A question- I heard that Leif Eriksson on his way to Newfoundland discovered Greenland and, named it so as a marketing ploy to entice people to settle on a big slab of ice. Is there any truth to that?
Thanks. I remember reading about it too and as far as I remeber that's actually a true story!
Yes, Leif Erikson discovered North America. His camp was at L'Anse aux Meadows, Newfoundland, now a UNESCO National Historic Site
It was in fact his father Eiríkur rauði ( Eric the red ) eho discovered Grænland (Greenland)
His father, Eiríkur Rauði, discovered Greenland
Good question as a native I can say that it's most likely false.
The real story now accepted is that when Leifur came to Iceland he came in the winter just east of Vatnajökull (the big glacier) and so it was very cold, ontop of that much of his lifestock died and if I'm remembering correctly his daughter died also however that may be me misremembering and so since it was cold and he was sad from all the deaths he named the island he found Iceland.
And when he then moved on after the winter he sailed further west untill he hit another island in summer where it was warm and green and since it was green there he named this island Greenland.
I hope this answers your question.
Watching this with hot tea...☕ 💯% 😂
Excellent!
Im sure in 30 years they will be teaching that, actually, Africans discovered and built Iceland
Nah...
@@APinchOfHistoryand by the way, you left out the event in Icelandic history when hatari performed at Eurovision

Absolutely. That's what I was trying to say: Mist Hardships. Maybe I said it in a weird way - sorry :)
Word
Very interesting, but I'd suggest getting rid of the distracting background music.
Thanks for the suggestion. I worked for other people, but I'll take it into account in future videos!
Yes I hate background music ..I’m trying to hear what you have to say and it’s impossible
@@Ads-f5u I'm sorry to hear that, thanks for letting me know!
I thought Floki is the first one who found Iceland.
A fan of the Vikings series I see!
I'm sure those soldiers left more then money behind lol. Edit..a few kids lol
Icelanders need to repent from spiritism and immorality and turn truly to the living God through genuine faith in his Son Jesus CHrist.
Well, I guess it's up to them what they believe in. I think a lot of them are Christians though.
@@APinchOfHistory In name only, but in reality pagans and spiritists. The church cannot save people, only Jesus does. Seek and ye shall find.
With utmost respect sir.
