Iceland and Greenland
Both are countries….um, well, Greenland is not exactly its own country. It’s part of the Kingdom of Denmark, considered a self-governing constituent country. So it’s almost a country? Kind of a country? Well, most of the people who live there are not Danish. They are Inuit.
Iceland is a country. Both are wayy north. In fact, north of 60 degrees north of the Earth’s equator. So in the winter they have little sunlight, but in the summer the sun doesn’t seem to ever go down.
The Vikings, or more accurately the Norsemen, were the first European settlers of both Iceland and Greenland, reaching the two places hundreds of years before Columbus sailed west. However, Greenland was first settled by various Inuit tribes thousands of years before European arrival. The Norseman were the first settlers of Iceland, arriving around the year 870. So Iceland is one of the most recent islands ever settled by humans.
Islands? Yeah, both Iceland and Greenland are islands. Greenland is the largest island in the world.
Both have hardly any people. Iceland has a population of around 350,000, while Greenland has a population of around 57,000, despite being about 21 times bigger than Iceland. There are more people in the city of Omaha, Nebraska, than both Iceland and Greenland COMBINED.
Both have hardly any native species of plants and animals. There are absolutely no native reptiles or amphibians on the two islands. Get this, Greenland has mosquitoes, that can be pretty relentless in the summer especially since it’s been getting warmer there, but Iceland? Nope. Iceland apparently has no mosquitoes.
Most residents of both are concentrated in one single city. More than half of Icelanders live in or around Reykjavík, Iceland’s largest city, and about a third of Greenlanders live in Nuuk, Greenland’s largest city.
The biggest religion in both countries is Christianity, specifically having ties with Lutheranism. The Church of Denmark dominates in Greenland, and the Church of Iceland dominates in, um, you know, Iceland. But really, Iceland is much less religious than Greenland. It’s a very secular country, and church attendance tends to be low there.
Both are more politically and culturally aligned with Europe than North America, despite the fact that Greenland is part of North America. Both have a parliamentary system of government. As I mentioned earlier, Greenland is technically still part of the Kingdom of Denmark, but it governs itself. Denmark only still controls Greenland’s defense and foreign relations.
Both have economies that revolve fishing and fish processing and the metals. Greenland, however, is heavily dependent on Denmark in terms of investment dollars. Tourism is much bigger in Iceland than Greenland.
Both are members of NATO. Both are not members of the European Union. Well, Denmark is so Greenland is closely linked to it. Both Iceland and Greenland have universal health care.
Based solely on the names of the two, it may seem that Iceland and Greenland are two very different places, and yep, they mostly are, but they also have many, many differences.

I'm from Iceland, never been to Greenland though. It's true that we don't have mosquitoes, we however do have 'mý' and 'lúsmý' which are flies that bite for no apparent reason. HOWEVER, they pretty much stay outside the city so you won't really encounter them unless you travel outside Reykjavík.

I live in Iceland and thats the only thing you need to know for this story. Ok so in 6th grade kids from greenland came to our school to learn how to swim, and also attended classes with us. We learned a little greenlandic and tought them Icelandic. I still remember my friends name, it was Jakku, nice girl and her best friend Equ. Probably one of the best middle school years of my life. Jakku, Equ, if you somehow learn English and understand this it was nice meeting you two.

Hey, man. Awesome video! Kinda wish you didn't compare us to Greenland though. We really don't think of Greenland as a country (which it isn't) and we have a lot more value as an independant country to the world. So it would have made more sense, had it been some other nordic or european country. Just not Greenland...{jk love u Greenlanders, amazing place} My point still stands though. Anyway, always love it when Iceland gets mentioned in a vid, let alone a whole vid about it. Everything is accurate, fact-checked and well reserched. Earned a sub there. Keep it up :)

I've made a few phrases but they might be wrong cause all that I tried doing to fill some words I didn't know is saying some Norwegian words (since I speak a tiny bit of Norwegian) but I'm not sure if they're correct. I still can't make any proper phrases but I can read and pronounce the language which is good. Your language is hard but I love it. I particularly love the letters "þ" and "ð".

i am from Denmark, and lets just say that greenlandic people is a bit different in general than us danes, or scandinaviavians for that matter. They have a lot more social problems than danish people do. I live in Aalborg, and if you walk around in our city you will find greenladic people drinking everywhere. Not only do they have a big problem with alcoholism, but also domestic violence and abuse. I dont know what more we can do to help them. This is just they way it has been for as long as I remember. Other than that, I really like greenlandic people. They are very friendly. Faeroese people is also very nice. They are just more like us, and dont have the same problems as greenlanders. I heard from greenlandic people that it is a cultural thing.

It is the best trip I ever took - wide-open spaces, insanely beautiful and dramatic geology, the air and water are so clean that I (a USAer) noticed every time I took a drink. When you go, don't just do 3 nights in the golden triangle, see as much of it as you can!

Hello tina
Mr. Beat, @ :35, you pronounced Inuit for the first time as IN-oo-it. I just returned from an exhausting trip all the way over to google for a look in their online dictionary, where I confirmed that the way I've always pronounced it is correct, namely, IN-you-it. The same process confirmed that Iceland's capital is RAKE-yuh-veek. At around 6:50, you said that "Iceland is one of the most 'geographically' active places on the planet." If I were in the habit of betting, which I'm not, and I had a farm to bet, which I don't, I'd bet the whole thing on the premise that you meant to say "geologically". To answer your question at the end, yes, I've been to Iceland--back in '86. I saw a number of places around Reykjavik, then flew up to the very-near-arctic town of Akureyri (AH-coo-ray-ree). Good job, by the way.
I really liked this video anyway and did find it very interesting, but a quick tip here in case you wanna get even more and very accurate information about Iceland specifically and even learn a bit of the the language, you can always contact @Hrafna who's an icelandic KZreadr with really personal and charming content! I think you could get a lot of knowledge - either for another future video or just out of curiousity - from her, plus she seems like a very nice and genuine person to chat with! Hope that can be of any help to you! :) And lastly; great video!

That's awesome. I'm from Denmark, and it's always interessting to hear about our "colony" - which definitely not all Danes know is actually under it's kingdom. It's still a big dilemma regarding keeping it under danish "rule", but in the end it is *mostly* symbiotic. There is a lot of potential resources, strategic locations and geological power to be had from the danish perspective (which is hopefully treated correctly - which it isn't always) and Greenland is still hugely dependant on economic and basic resource aid from Denmark, due to it's geographical disadvantages (I mean, the only vegetables that can properly grow on the southern tip are cucumbers, kale and tomatoes...!!!!). It could have been nice if you moreso adressed these concrete geological differences, and how they affected the two countries development and happiness, since it can sometimes seem weird for Iceland, with it's volcanoes, ice and arid land, to still have such a thriving populus. Otherwise good stuff!

I feel left out... I'm Faroese, the other country belonging to Denmark (east of Iceland). :( But yeah, it's really sad with the suicides in Greenland. I live in Denmark and know a guy from Greenland, who also lives in Denmark, and he knows so many people who have committed suicide. One of his friends died just a few months ago, and he blames himself for it for not recognizing the signs. I tried to console him, but I don't really know how to, so I don't think I actually helped...

Two fascinating places that we don't hear enough about. Unlike Canadians, Americans are often unaware that the Norse were the first Europeans to reach the Western Hemisphere, although they never reached today's United States; there is a Leif Eriksson Park in Brooklyn, New York City, with a cool sign on 10th Avenue, in the shape of a Viking ship. How about a video about the Viking site in Newfoundland, L'Anse aux Meadows? Or about the Norse in North America in general?
Love the video...thanx!
