Your fast, funny and sometimes accurate guide to everything you need to know about Iceland.
My name is Karl, I will tell you everything you need to know about Iceland, Icelandic culture and Icelandic food. I won't make it boring, I promise!
My goal for this channel is to become a comprehensive resource for your visit to Iceland. It is a complete and definitive guide to Iceland... That is incomplete.
Reviews, best value and budget tips. High end and luxury. Simple things such as transport and where to shop. Volcanic eruptions, geothermal areas, nature pools, traditional foods. Dangers and what to avoid. Extreme weathers and breathtaking views.
@@TimeWarpIceland I figured it had to be somewhere, but it didn't seem to have the amount of crime we have here in the US. I actually worked in a prison for 7 years in Texas. You know, I really love Iceland. It's the one place I've been that I really felt I could belong, but not sure why. I never felt I belonged anywhere, not even where I was born. I appreciate the peace I found there.
I'm liking your vids. Thanks. I just got back from my second trip to your country. I love it there, despite some of my trip setbacks this time. I'm a nurse, and I did notice some things about your country. First, I went to the botanical gardens in Akureyri. It is near a hos pital, and I was suprised to see this hospital looked too "quiet". None of the usual chaos you'd see at a hospital here. I'm interested to know how your medical care is set up. Also, I didn't see a lot of sickly looking elderly people. I saw elderly there hiking with their walking sticks, while me and my severe arthritis was plodding along. Keep up the good work Mr. Time Warp.
I see. A few racial undertones. Getting angry about non-Caucasians not leaving when their visa expires. Just remind me, what did the Danes do to the indigenous population in the first place?
Well, I saw northern lights for the first time in my life (near Zurich)… they were quite dim most of the time, but ever so often they were visible to the naked eye… made some great shots using my A7IV (and iPhone too)… now definitely saving up again for visiting Iceland during winter
I carry cash always. I have been to locations where the electronic banking system has down or there is an outage somewhere, or another 9/11 in the US. With cash I can always get currency at a local bank, if they have power. I have a hard time believing a vendor would refuse cash if the plastic would not work. Have to go check my generators as we are going to get hit with a hurricane tomorrow night. We are always without power for at least a week.
We really enjoyed the Perlan Museum. ❤. We skipped the Blue Lagoon. It is way too touristy, expensive and regimented. There are nice baths all around Iceland for a more reasonable price (if you want amenities) or for free (if you don’t).
Weell.. Tinget means summit doesn't it :D They just say "the thing" because its funny :D But if we build on the joke - Danish parliament is called folketinget or "the peoplething"
@@TimeWarpIceland "You cant steal toiletpaper from us" "Uhm... Its the everyones thing? Im part of everyone" "...oh okay. Want some shark?" "No. Nobody wants that."
Another fun icelandic phrase is "Eins og álfur út úr hól" means "like an elf comin out of a hill". It has a similar meaning to "I come from the mountains."
I confess I walked outside the ropes to get an amazing cliffside picture at Anarstapi in Snaefellsnes Peninsula. It was completely worth the potential falling to my death but I do feel bad about stepping on the local flora.
Alert. Boom. Eruption showing now on Grindavik cams. Tons of molten hot lava from a long fissure. Started anout 40 minutes ago. New Eruption started at 12:46:55PM Iceland Time. 13:46:55PM GMT Summer Time. Oh great goodness. The fissure eruption is not the same as the previous with nine vents. No sir-ry! This critor of an eruption is more the size of 19 to 29 vents. 3 Times the size of the previous.
