[00:00:00]In Iceland, some roads are literally rerouted because of elves, and surprisingly, many Icelanders don't completely dismiss the idea.

[00:00:10]These beings are called the hidden people.

[00:00:14]Iceland's landscape feels almost unreal.

[00:00:17]Massive lava fields, endless fog, giant cliffs, and lonely valleys.

[00:00:23]For centuries, people told stories about invisible beings living inside the rocks. Some even believed disturbing certain rocks could bring terrible luck, and over time, folklore became part of Icelandic culture.

[00:00:38]Even today, there were stories of construction projects delayed because locals didn't want to disturb elf habitats.
