Iceland Giants
Iceland Giants
This amazing VICE documentary takes a look at why Iceland breeds so many strongmen.
Despite its tiny population, Iceland has a reputation in the World’s Strongest Man competition that stands higher than perhaps any other country’s. This small, black rock in the middle of the ocean has produced a lineage of strongmen dating back to the Vikings.
VICE went out there to investigate why this tiny island produces such strong people. Hanging out at Jakabol, a gym run by ex-champion Magnus Ver Magnusson, we met a whole host of Icelandic strongmen, which includes Hafthor “Thor” Bjornsson, the 6’9″ star of Game of Thrones.
7 Year Old Drummer Plays ‘Tom Sawyer’
Avery Molek is an amazing 7 year-old drummer. In this video Avery covers Rush’s iconic hit ‘Tom Sawyer.’ This song is tough enough for adult drummers to handle but Avery plays along with it flawlessly.
Enjoy!

This is my first song I learned by sheet music all by myself.
Thank you Pat for teaching me how to read notes and music!
