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.
This video got more views than the population of greenland
And at this rate, it should have more views than the population of Iceland within a year.
Almost more likes than the population
He has more subs than population of greenland
and soon more than the population of iceland
so sad, yet so true
Did you know?
Clickbait was invented by the vikings when they named iceland iceland even though it’s greener than greenland
lol
Lol
That's so true 😂
AND Greenland Is more Icy than Iceland...🤩🤗😁🤣
Im a norwegian and I think they deserved it beacuse they got us in a union

I was born in Greenland and now live in Iceland
mom is greenlandic and dad icelandic, i lived my first 11 years in greenland and 16 years in iceland and i'm pretty happy with your explanation of both countries and you did a good job researching :D *thumbs up*
Which do you like more
Wait really?? I've only been in greenland and Denmark, since we take flight from greenland to Denmark, I didn't saw Iceland because I was too scared to look down for flying very very very higher and I really wanted to go to Iceland because I've never flown all around the countries
I was born in Greenland. Then I moved to Detroit. I'm much happier now.

(but can you speak greenlandic?)
So… you’re IceGreenlandic?
No mosquitoes in Iceland? I'm moving to Iceland.
One of many reasons to move there, but yeah, they had me at no mosquitoes. :)
yeah our most dangerous animal is basically the sheep
Im from iceland and there thing called mýflugur but i think its called midges in english they bite and they come mostly in the summer in the southern parts
Mr. Beat There may prehaps not be any mosquitos in Iceland, but there are mý/mýflugar, which do still bite, and are annoying as hell.
Mr. Beat done
Greenland was the first mass clickbait ever
wha?
Kári Pálsson ??
Greenland and Iceland had their names swapped several times
yeah I know its actually like 10x smaller then it appears on the map
yeah because Iceland is well green and green land is um ice colored
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.
It's could be wonderful to visit your country.
Cheers from Italy
Glad the riff raff is staying out of your city. Very kind of them. Lol.

oh ok so i can provide pee(?)to iceland
Iceland's water tastes good and it also comes in the coolest looking bottle that you can't chuck in the recycle bin, but instead keep as decor. I found a store in CA that carries it.
@@riproar11 so are they're any deaths in Iceland related to drinking bad liquids?
@@luiss.3866 What are "bad liquids"? Drinking water from sulphuric volcano hot baths? Eating Tide pods? Most likely neither.
riproar11 In Iceland we drink tapwater and there is nothing wrong with it. The so called “Icelandic water” is just tapwater put in bottles and shipped to other countries.
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.
I think Jakku startet to be an actor in Star Wars as a planet
it was nice to meet you too
As someone who is really unhappy with germany, where i live, i always wanted to move to Iceland and this story is also quite wholesome
@@astra1836 lmao
Sounds like a fake story.
As an Afro-American people are amazed that I visited Iceland. I live in Philadelphia PA and it was a life destination for me. I stayed at a Hostel and enjoyed my daily travels. I went swimming almost every day. I met many world wide individuals, even from Australia! I've had a full life traveling across America and Europe. Not slowing down I updated my passport!
@@marioferreira7605 i’m sure that they just don’t expect a lot of black people to go there
@@marioferreira7605 Im sure he is referring to the peeps of Philly, probably seems as a strange pick for a travel destination there. Hope you enjoyed your stay in Iceland.
If you're watching this and are thinking whether or not to go to Greenland - please do! I am from both Greenland and Iceland and I promise you that Greenlandic people are the most heartwarm people you will ever meet. We have an awesome culture, amazing landscapes, and never-ending sunsets during the summer-late summer :) Promise it will be worth it, its absolutely not as bad as he makes it sound like.
Yes true, im greenlandic too and its a nice place to be even in every season
I wanna live in Iceland but certainly will also visit Greenland for vacation
honestly greenland is boring
im going soon than later to greenland

Wow! How cold is it there? Honestly, how do you survive there?
Any Icelanders or Greenlanders out there watching? If so, tell me what I got right, and, of course, what I got wrong!
And STRANGE COINCIDENCE. Patrick from Name Explain released this fantastic video right after I did: czcams.com/video/hq2lSwZyIz8/video.html
I swear we both did not know each other was going to do this. Weird stuff.
Mistake of the video: At 6:49, I say "geographically" when I meant "geologically"
Mr. Beat - We're heading to Iceland tomorrow. I'll let you know if you missed anything.
You got the "country" part incorrect. Greenland is a country, what you were thinking of is whether or not Greenland is a "sovereign nation".
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 :)
Thanks Leo! I'm in love with both Iceland and Greenland. Which countries do you think I should compare next?
Mr. Beat Cuba and the Dominican Republic

Iceland also has a kickass football team!

Iceland vs New Zealand would have been quite a comparison. Have been to both and they seem like long lost brothers.
Indeed, two volcanic islands.
Yeah when I was watching Lord of the rings I kept thinking it looks so similar they could have filmed it here in Iceland.
Yes, there are countless similarities between the two. I need to visit NZ, it’s on my bucket list.

You're welcome anytime in Greenland. Iceland is a pretty cool place too.
Toornap Tarraa Well actually Iceland is way better, didn't you hear him saying "No mosquitos."?
HarryAndFriends Didn't you read my comment? I never said which is better, all I did is welcome him anytime if he wanted to visit either Iceland or Greenland.
PS: We never have mosquitos at Winter or when the weather is too cold, so...
There's not an awful lot to do at Thule, especially in the winter.
I've visited Iceland
I am not surprised that Iceland is 3rd most happiest place... I would be too if I lived there
It's my second favorite country.
i'm guessing you're a true patriot and america is your first ;)
it's one of the most depressed countries as well. Cucked sensitive pricks they are.
Iceland is probably not one of the happiest countries in the world, its inhabitants are one of the most depressed people in the world with one of the highest consumptions of antidepressants in the world.
+Oddný Ingolfsdóttir
You just proved his point. Antidepressants make you happy.
I'm going to Iceland in June 2020. I found your video quite informative.
Coronavirus : am I a joke to you
The way you said all the icelandic words 😂 i almost chocked on some m&m’s
I started learning it a few days ago. 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".
TheLombaxWarrior where did you learn it ? is there an app?
"Choked"?
Greenlandic is even more difficult
@@Ricky911_ tell me something in icelandic. im icelandic and i can say if its right or not or tell you what it means

We enjoyed this. Doing cursive writing and Geography mini-lessons this summer with my soon-to-be 5th grader- so this was perfect to fit into our lesson today.
OMG Iceland has no mosquitos? I'm moving there. I will change my name to Jeff Duanesson as Duane was my father.
actually no poisonous or venomous animals that i can remember
Ya but the're still blood sucking motherfu.... I sould go now
Jefff plus homogeneous population no race riots and burning down cities
Jefff Jeff is not a Icelandic name so if you want to change it to an all Icelandic name you can change it to Jósef Dúeinsson.
If you do that you will suddenly see that your name makes more sense like that.

One more difference: Iceland have a national football team they are going to their first ever World Cup. Greenland aren’t even a FIFA member, though I venture to guess that their citizens are technically eligible to play for Denmark if they’re so inclined
Yes, glad you brought that up. I couldn't verify it, but I'm pretty sure Greenlanders can play for the Denmark team for the World Cup.
I heard Greenland doesn't have a football team because they can't plant artificial grass for the pitch (or something like that, can't remember)
Some of the towns have artificial turf football fields en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Association_football_in_Greenland
Also fun fact, we're actually the first ever country to be qualified with under a million people in World Cup
Football is kinda the nationalsports of Greenland.. Every town and settlement has a team playing. But yeah. no grassfields at all. most are gravelfiels and a few towns have artificial turfs.. They do also play a lotta Indoor football, Fusball :) Badminton are also a very common sport in Greenland

As a greenlander, it makes to me sad to know that we have the highest suicide rate in the world, but other than that, great video, its pretty much spot on!
CrazyCandyFreak hello from denmark i always wanted to ask someone from greenland how do you feel about being in this kinda of commonwealth like thing we have with denmark the faroe islands and greenland do you want independence from denmark or are you fine with us sharing the same queen and kingdom
I dont mind at all, i think its a good thing
Evan Spain guess because it is more lonely there?
How is it to live there?
and there is only like 55,000 people so the percentage of suicides to people is a lot higher than most places.
That was a good video. I have visited Iceland and it's interesting and beautiful. I haven't been to Greenland, but I've seen it a few times flying over the Atlantic.

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?

Hello tina
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...
Question: have you been to either Greeenland or Iceland?! Which do you prefer and why? Cheers! (via: San Antonio, Texas, USA)
Greenland, since my mom is from greenland. I have only been in Nuuk which is a pretty "normal" city. But i have never been in a more... "tribal" area

Ammry 33, why would people not live there? Iceland is a beautiful country. I’ve been to Iceland once and I want to go back for another visit. I live in Greenland. Best place in the world. Sorry, rest of the world. The northeastern part of Iceland shares similarities with my area, Nuuk, in Greenland, but other areas of Iceland are very different to what we’ve got. We don’t have any volcanoes for one.
2:15 that is my neighborhood and i can see my house! 👍🏻☺️
Wich one is it?
Hey Dani
Really you have nice smile
It sucks
Wow. Are u living in icelanda
That ending hits hard
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 CZcamsr 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!
I've watched Hrafnas videos too, they're great!
I spent 10 nights in Iceland, driving the ring road. OH. MY. GAWD. 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!
We are going to Iceland (2nd time there) in June , and may go to Greenland ? Thanks for this very informative video !
A flight to Greenland from Iceland costs about $300 per person.
Nice video and history.
Great video.
