Really impressive flying. I had a wonderful experience in the early 1970s of flying much larger USAF Sikorsky H-3s search and rescue helicopters, with two pilots, a flight mechanic and two pararescue guys, for 2 and a half years in Iceland out of Keflavik Airport. Watching these guys landing on the really small helipad by the lighthouse is simply incredible. Absolutely fantastic to watch! Makes me wish I was a few decades younger...
I spent a couple of months in Iceland in 1984. It is Very windy there all the time. You’d get tired of the wind if you aren’t from a windy place. I dare say you wouldn’t want to spend a month at this lighthouse.
@@ihelpdogs Most of the materials came from the forest that used to be there, as well as a concrete plant built there during WWI, since dismantled and not used for any sort of walls or railings anywhere.
Have been there many times -- in flight sim. It's my favorite destination because of the challenge. Don't know if the pilots that go here are fantastic or its easier in real life than it looks but it's exceedingly difficult in flight sim even with VR. Anyway, nice vid, enjoyed.
Probably because those Icelandic workies are not afraid of heights, obviously they all accept the risk. Applying health an safety all the time you will never get anything done. See videos on here with pilots boarding / leaving ships for even more danger.
Why is that terrible elevator music playing the whole damn time? Makes the video unwatchable unless you mute it. Not everything needs cheesy looping hold music over it.
"Hey bud, let me just stand on this narrow, rocky surface hundreds of feet above imminent death while you toss me a few bags of concrete (or whatever)?" Nah.
This is amazing. I'd totally live there, but the helipad and walkway are super sketchy. But.....what does it look like inside? It'd be neat if it had a lower level dug into the rock. I just need a studio apartment setup, a generator, a mini fridge, my cat, and a grill.
Great Job you guys! Really enjoyed the video. Thanks. Never even heard of this place before until I was looking at the new scenery being developed by Propstrike Studios for Xplane flight simulator. Now I know where Thridrangar Lighthouse is located, LOL 🙂
Phantastic job! You have my deep respect. I recently listened to an audiobook from Yrsa Sigurðardóttir. In the story one woman and three men are brought to Thridrangar with a helicopter in order to do some repairs on the lighthouse. Their names are Heida, Helgi, Toti (!) and Ingvar (!), sorry if spelled wrong. Maybe your video helped for inspiration ;-)
Is it too much to ask for some railings between the helipad and lighthouse? Or maybe they're worried the maintenancs guys would spend too much time leaning on them....

The first helicopter was made by Igor Sikorsky in 1939. So it could've conceivably been there to lift materials to the top from a boat below, but it appears Arnar seemingly has the 411. Good old fashioned man-ness and grit.

my question though is like, do people live in these lighthouses??? and if not did they ever? like when it was constructed surely somebody stayed behind, and if so what would that even be like @-@
Why did they have to work 36 hours straight with no rest? Why weren't they allowed to sleep over? Seems that being sleep deprived in such a dangerous location is foolish.
because none of this is real dude. You're using your brain, it doesn't make sense because it's not real. Why do ships need lighthouses on clear sunny days? They don't.
Even just walking from the helipad to the lighthouse looks like a hell of a lot of nope
I could see the actual bags of nope they were carrying. Amazing.

There is a video by JStu with the inside, it's has a ladder and just enough room for 3 people to lié down.

now I have already fallen three times from this rock
Everyone of you is braver than me. This was incredibly thrilling to watch. Well done to you all.
This was an astonishing video. Thank you so much for editing and sharing it.
Couldn’t give a tour of the lighthouse?
Yeah, too bad. I was hoping for a tour inside the lighthouse.
It was 36 hours of painting for 4 minutes. haha...I kid, I kid. Would love to have seen more of what they were doing there. Incredible scenery...
Painting the floor on 2017 seems like a walk in a park compared to building the damned thing in 1939-1942
Hmmm.... good point. How the hell did they do that???

Probably one of the coolest jobs to do , I can only imagine how peaceful that place must be .
It is automated, nobody actually lives there. They just check on it every now and then
I would pay to spend one week here with food and books.
Exactly what I was thinking!
And a Gilbert Gottfried stand-up show on loop.
Is that part between helipad and lighthouse as narrow as it looks? It's as if the whole time up there they are 1 step from the fall
Yes just 1 step from 30 meters down.
que pasada seria trabajar ahi ufff, se repira calma y majestuosidad
What was inside? I can't find any pics!
How does it look from the inside?
Pretty similar to an alpine chalet/lodge, although oddly the foyer and sun room are done tastefully Victorian.

Surely someone could bring 100 ft of 3/8 stainless cable and rig a safety line for these guys.
It would need to be thicker to carry the weight of their balls.
There was a safety net before. But many birds perished so it was taken away. Bird life VS human life. Not good I think.

If they built a helipad, tell me one good reason they couldn't build a fence and walkway

WOW! This is amazing. Scary, but you guys are awsome. Y'all seem so causally comfortable but cautiously aware in your environment. 👍
Wow! Fantastic job guys 👏🏼 and what a feat of engineering!
So what exactly did they do there? Is there room inside to sleep & cook?
The paint the lighthouse. No space to sleep or cook
This is exactly they way I have groceries delivered at my house during the COVID pandemic.
Need to build a better walkway
@Gerald Dixon Cummings LOL you'd think maybe they could....I don't know....maybe put up railings? So you don't fall of the cliff into the atlantic?
"Hey bud, let me just stand on this narrow, rocky surface hundreds of feet above imminent death while you toss me a few bags of concrete (or whatever)?"
Nah.
I’m having heart failure just watching this 😲
Thank you for this great video!
All helicopter and no lighthouse made us sad.
I cannot believe they scaled the side of that when it was originally built! Helicopters were not common place and fairly new.
All that and you can't build a small walkway from the helipad to the building?
This is amazing. I'd totally live there, but the helipad and walkway are super sketchy. But.....what does it look like inside? It'd be neat if it had a lower level dug into the rock. I just need a studio apartment setup, a generator, a mini fridge, my cat, and a grill.
Beside building it in the 1930s who did they find to man such a tiny super desolate lighthouse before lighthouses were automated????
I was really hoping to see the inside of it.
Great Job you guys! Really enjoyed the video. Thanks.

I am so impressed!!
You'd think they'd have built a bridge. That strip between the lighthouse and the helipad is ridiculous.
Yes, that's right. Could be better.
It helps keep vandals away.
Anyone else wondering why the helicopter doesn't land 90 degrees clockwise so the fellas get out on the side with the path?
Probably something about balance since the "heliport" is longer than large and landing 90 degrees clockwise would let the tail out of it ?
Don't think these guys care.
To bad you didn’t get the whole light house on camera from a far away shot. It would of been a great shot
Love this video im curious who plays the music soundtrack in the background. ?..
How do they power it?
A solar cell.
They ought to dig into the rock to create an extra level or two underneath the lighthouse
Greetings from Yucatan- Mexico. Your job is very good but the pilot is great. Who is he? Thnk you for the video
Is it too much to ask for some railings between the helipad and lighthouse? Or maybe they're worried the maintenancs guys would spend too much time leaning on them....
