Albert Lin — National Geographic Explorer
As the longest night of the year approaches, I want to take you on an adventure to a land where magic and myth were born from the darkness. What is it about Iceland that led to the writings of the mysterious Eddas, the earliest documents of the Norse Myths.
These ancient stories, inspired by glaciers, volcanoes, and endless skies, have shaped how we imagine gods, heroes, giants and the mysteries of existence to this day.
Our short and epic film, exploring the origins of these myths, premieres on the winter solstice right here, on the Explorer Albert YouTube channel. Join us on the longest night of the year as we journey through Iceland in search of the magical origins of storytelling. Subscribe now. ❄️
