  • There they are!

  • Paul is picked up. I slept well. Did you bring any food, by the way? No. Yeah, I got to

  • Falafel wraps you want one. Yay! One for me one for you.

  • Going to Greenland! Via Iceland!

  • Well, I checked my bag she made me consolidate my two

  • carry-ons to one. Yeah, they say you can only take one, but I've gotten away with three.

  • They don't know what they're talking about. I snuck this in.

  • Totally snuck in a second one. I'm just noticing your boots.

  • I have to wear them. Paul's traveling super light. This is all and some winter boots.

  • Jason, what are you excited about for Greenland and Iceland?

  • I didn't do as much research as you, so I'm going to be learning like a lot. Cold,

  • and they eat weird food. It'll be really cool. And there's like volcanoes and geysers and hot Springs and stuff. You're going to love it

  • You're gonna love it.

  • Every time I go to this airport. I do this I have to I have to this is.

  • There's Jason.

  • We're about to board. It's about an eight-hour flight. We're going to get there about four o'clock in the morning.

  • We going outside because here right? We're going outside, and I'm wearing slippers.

  • So did you get stamped? You checked the stamp? Oh, actually, I see mine. Let me see yours. I don't know where he stamped it. (Attempts to read Icelandic).

  • Yeah, that's it. (cheering). I was told don't go here because it's way too touristy.

  • We're not going to go to the Blue Lagoon. No. But the boy. Blue Lagoon...

  • No, no. But I heard it was awesome.

  • Jason's waiting for his luggage. Oh wait. He found it. We gotta meet up with David. There he is. Good to see you man.

  • 4 o'clock in the morning.

  • You have polar bears right? No. Okay. Well, they sometimes drift here from Greenland.

  • All right, it is like 5:30 in the morning here inpavogur, David's hometown.

  • It's like the second largest city in Iceland.

  • But anyway, sometimes I like to go just for a little jog to scout out a new place that I've never been to. So that's what I'm going to do.

  • I'm jogging with an expensive camera is probably not a good idea. Ooh!

  • What have we here? Oh, it's a church.

  • "Kopavogs Kirkja" I'm pretty sure that means, "Come to our church." Obviously, it's probably locked. Yeah, it's locked. Oh, this is amazing!

  • You can see the whole city from up here! This church is on top of the hill.

  • Wish you guys could see what I'm seeing right now

  • I'm looking up at the sky. There's an aurora borealis, but it's very weak.

  • There's like a scale between one to five. I think this one's like a very weak.

  • 1.5

  • Dude, the Icelandic language is so complex!

  • I pretty much just given up on even trying to pronounce anything; however, I figured out a cool little trick:

  • just gargle some water and add a bunch of "th" sounds.

  • That's basically Icelandic.

  • So I'm gonna take a shower.

  • I haven't showered in like two and a half days since we left. And fun little side note, when you shower in Iceland the hot water actually kind of

  • Like emits this sulfuric smell. A lot of people complain about it when they first come here,

  • but you get used to it in like a day.

  • You really smell it--sulfur!

  • You need Long Johns or compression pants.

  • Got this from Bolivia. It's made out of alpaca.

  • Stay awake. I don't want to feel tired at all. No sleep.

  • warm the body up.

  • No sleep. No sleep at all. It's the kitchen,

  • dining room, our beds, made out of couch. That's a room. That's a room. (etc.)

  • Did he leave the door open again? Yes, he keeps leaving the door open.

  • It's so cold outside.

  • Geograpeep Asgeir hooked us up with this golden circle tour thing that goes to these little spots,

  • and it's really cool.

  • We get to see geysers. We get to see a waterfall. We get to see a bunch of crazy cool stuff.

  • So let's go on bus. Skybus!

  • Largest natural lake

  • In Iceland.

  • I can't, I literally can't say any of these Icelandic words

  • this is a...

  • this is the what do you call it.

  • The tectonics plate convergence where it divides the North American plates of the Eurasian plate. Everybody wants to see it.

  • And there's like 400 people here.

  • on the...

  • This is a level four on POOPCARE index in Iceland. Come on!

  • Asian invasion

  • So glad you came. You're the best guy to come along with. I haven't worn this jacket since Finland, which was like three years ago.

  • So in Iceland they use these

  • geothermal heating systems. It's lava powered. The heating system is right there, and

  • the pump is right there. It pumps all of the heat into the people's houses in the village. Isn't that cool? They use volcano power.

  • You want fresh ice cream?

  • This is about as fresh as it gets. We are in High Valley, Iceland.

  • This place has been owned by a single family--it's a farm--since the 1700s. They make the best ice cream

  • I've ever had. This is Rhubarb coconut

  • Oh my gosh this is amazing! These people are really impressing us, culinary-wise at least.

  • I'm a fan.

  • Guess where I am? Gullfoss, the largest waterfalls in all of Europe

  • Geyser. Thank you. The geyser that gave

  • geysers the name geysers. That's amazing. Thank you so much Asgeir. We haven't even met you yet. Thanks man.

  • You hooked this up for us. Totally. In fact David...

  • Someone's excited.

  • All right, so when in Iceland you gotta try these two things: head cheese

  • And this is, uh how do you pronounce this again, David? Hakarl.

  • Start with this one? Sure.

  • Gelatinous meat product.

  • Tastes kind of fatty. It reminds me of spam. It has a spam-ish taste. Is this part of the eye?

  • What is that? Is that part of the eye?

  • Probably. Dude! I ate part of an eye. I don't like it. Well, then you're not going to like what's coming.

  • That's the shark. Holy crap! Oh!

  • This is what it looks like. Just fermented, rotten shark. Hakarl.

  • Hmm

  • This is so disgusting, you put rotting fish into a flavor. Why would anyone eat this? Okay,

  • After you bite it the aftertaste goes through your nose.

  • The nose part is the worst.

  • I'm having water. I have to finish, though. Oh the worst! Oh! goes to your nose. This is so disgusting!

  • Oh, it goes through your nose.

  • Hmm

  • Ah, that's the worst part! You're champion, dude.

  • After we leave you can keep this in your fridge. You can have the rest. I don't think so.

  • I feel like my mouth is coated with with ammonia.

  • Eating that is like eating urine. Maybe it'll help get rid of this.

  • Maybe that gross head cheese will get rid of the gross hakarl.

  • Cheers you. Bottoms up.

  • That was worth it, though. So worth it. Oh my God. We're okay.

  • Good morning

  • Reykjavik. We are here in Reykjavik. Morning, Jason.

  • Ready to go to a black sand beach and a waterfall thing, and then Jackie's going to take us there, and then after that Oskar

  • Is probably gonna take us to a hot spring area. Does that sound fun?

  • Look at this place Asgeir hooked us up with. Oh my gosh!

  • This has little buttresses on the wall and the ceiling, and it's on the top floor

  • in the middle center of the city. Here with Bjarki.

  • So what exactly is this place? The bridge between two continents. So which one is which? As of right now, we are on the

  • Eurasian plate. Okay. And over there on the other side is the North American plate. Got it okay, so Eurasia

  • North America.

  • Let's go to America!

  • And Iceland is just one big Lava field so you get all these volcanic rocks everywhere

  • I was told technically you're not allowed to take them with you, but uh...

  • All right, this is Seljalandsfoss, right? Seljalandsfoss.

  • So Iceland virtually every creek and river and stream has fresh water. You can drink from it. Like this.

  • Good stuff. Oh snap. It's Eyjafjallajokull!

  • The volcano [that] exploded in 2010. That thing right there right there. We're going to see Icelandic horses.

  • Icelandic horses. Iceland actually has a rule in which they cannot have any other horse on the island except for these, and these guys are

  • World Famous.

  • So, Bjark explain, why are these horses so world famous? Firstly,

  • Their small stature. They're small, robust. They're very robust animals. They can survive anything almost. Well, there's a volcano [eruption],

  • so they survive that as well. Oh this guy, who's that? This one is just done. "Nope."

  • "No, I'm tired."

  • Look at this.

  • Love that tuft of hair on top.

  • I'm gonna meet with Asgeir. Hey, how are you doing?

  • How you doing? It was a soon could be triple vlogging. Are you gonna vlog this too? Oh man, yes.

  • Here with Asgeir. How you doing? Boom. Boom. Good. Please explain. What is your channel? What do you do?

  • My channel is called /DoMoreAsgeir. In the beginning

  • I just needed a reason to travel more within Iceland so that I could do some trips for free,

  • And that would push me to do more within Iceland. So I just want to say like I saw your channel

  • I saw your videos

  • The cinematography is amazing. It's mind boggling. You guys, I totally recommend checking out his channel. If you want anything Iceland,

  • this is your guy. He is

  • Iceland's mascot.

  • He's the mascot of Iceland. So we're going to a hot spring that hardly anybody knows about.

  • Okay, screw you Blue Lagoon!

  • Yeah, I honestly think that not a lot of people, even Icelanders, know about this place.

  • So we arrived here, and then some other people parked right behind us.

  • I don't know if they know about this place. I really hope they don't.

  • I hope we're the only ones who know about this hot spring! I want anybody else knowing about this place!

  • Well, well short hot spring. Yeah!

  • To Greenland! Let's do it!

There they are!
