Ryan: There's a job on this island, located in the Arctic Circle, that is considered by journalists to be the loneliest job on Earth.

Oh, no! So lonely. Somebody go visit!

There's a rumor that the woman who bought this island 17 years ago to maintain this lighthouse, has gone mad.

So the question is: Did the keeper of the world's loneliest job actually go insane?

Or better yet: Will I?

There's only one way to find out.

I made it to Norway.

I found Norwegian snacks and beverages.

I've been traveling for over 40 hours straight.

Talk about a commute to work.

Slip down the stairs on the way off the plane earlier.

I'm okay. It's very cold, and we haven't even gotten to the Arctic Circle yet.

But guess what! I've got a job to do.

I found some Norwegian music online.

It's fun to listen to this, and see the scenery and everything.

I'm enjoying this. I'm headed to this tiny little town that's gonna allow me to boat to the island. This is not your average Uber ride.

And luckily, I was able to find an Airbnb to stay in, which is crazy.

I'm sleeping here for the night.

This is the cutest little house I've ever seen.

As you can probably tell, it's already getting dark outside.

I have no idea what time it is back home in Texas, but it feels like I haven't slept in days. And I have a feeling I'm gonna need to be well-rested.

There's still some light outside, but it's like 4 a.m.

in Texas, so I'm just gonna try to go to bed.

And tomorrow I'm spending my day doing the world's loneliest job.

Wakey, wakey! For whatever reason, it's just now hitting me how possibly stupid this is...the thing that I'm doing.

There's really no reason to do this.

There's no actual tangible motivation.

But unfortunately, it's time to go.

I'm going. I'm playing the fun Norwegian music again to cover up the fact that I'm nervous. I made it to the dock where I'm getting picked up for work.

No-one's here yet. A few minutes later, a man appeared on a boat out of nowhere.

Well, from the ocean, I guess it's not that surprising, but...

Ryan: Hey! Ryan. Frode: Welcome to Norway! Ryan: This is Frode.

He may be the most honest man I've ever met.

How's the water today?

Like I said, this isn't my first time on a speedboat to go to a lonely place.

I was able to see the island within minutes.

I'm on top of the world.

Literally. The Arctic Circle.

The world's loneliest job.

That's crazy.

She was waiting for me when I arrived.

Ryan: We made it. Elena: Please, come on! Ryan: All right.

Elena: Yeah. Nice meeting you. Ryan: This is Elena, the owner of this island, who holds the title of the World's loneliest job. My first assignment was just carrying Coke Zeros up to the house, which is what I normally do anyway, so that was easy.

And then Elena showed me around a little bit.

This is my room for the night.

I did not expect this, to be honest.

I love Norwegian bedding, I do.

The view from my room.

I just can't believe it, I simply can't.

I have so many questions.

Starting with: What's for lunch?

Okay, I was kind of joking.

I didn't expect there to actually be lunch.

She made me fresh cod soup.

The fish was caught this morning.

Elena encouraged me to go for a walk around the island and get familiar with it, so I did. Ancient ruins. Crazy. Cave.

When I got closer, I realized this cave is actually massive.

This island holds some mysteries.

This feels like going into a Minecraft cave.

I feel like I'm gonna see diamonds and a creeper. I'm scared.

When I got back, I couldn't find Elena or Frode anywhere, which is terrifying.

I went to go check the lighthouse, naturally. I figured she was definitely there.

Hello? Elena?

Frode? Looks like my loneliness started early.

Tomorrow we...toil.

Seriously, where are they?

Hello? Elena?

Elena did leave me a "To do list" for tomorrow, so that kind of makes things a little bit less mystical.

I'm excited to get to work.

So good night from my Scandinavian bed!

Ah! Wakey-wakey!

I woke up to a beautiful morning, but on the flip side, I walked into the dining room and there was breakfast in there.

How is there hot breakfast?

And there's actively a fire burning in the furnace.

This coffee is freshly pressed, bruh.

Maybe we can get some answers from my interview with Elena yesterday.

Check this out!

Elena: My name is Elena.

I'm the owner of this lighthouse, and I've been living here since 2006.

And I came here because I was dreaming to live as close to the sea as absolutely as possible.

Ryan: Good morning, Loners! Yeah, I'm clocked in.

So...first thing on the "To do list" is: clean guest room.

She tried to tell me something.

I'm the guest. Let's get started!

Elena: The guest room's here.

There has been a thought behind how they are made.

Ryan: Bruh! I slept like a baby last night.

A Norwegian baby. Let's get cleaning!

First thing I noticed when I got here is: how much pride Elena takes in her rooms and their design.

Elena: We want the focus to be really outside, and that's why the interior is also very simple.

It's to enhance the view.

That is the main thought.

I moved here by my own free will.

And when I'm alone, I also have to find the answers for my own challenges.

Ryan: Guest room equals cleaned.

Next thing up is: cleaning the dock.

Just before I got here, there was a pretty significant winter storm, which is why there's so much snow everywhere.

So I'm gonna be clearing off the dock to make sure there's no hazard...

Um, whenever they get back.

100

If they get back. The boat is gone. Let's get it!

101

Elena: The dock is one of the most challenging points on this lighthouse, because this lighthouse is put on a very challenging place on the island.

102

And the dock is about access and leaving. Ryan: This dock is about to get absolutely shoveled.

103

Shoveled. Let me get started!

104

This dock is iced over.

105

I'm gonna take out the music for proof.

106

Okay, so there's been some ice here for a long time.

107

This stuff is...hard as diamonds.

108

So far, I'm not feeling too lonely or crazy, to be honest.

109

If anything, I'm pretty inspired with: how much effort Elena has put into this island.

110

It's kind of beautiful.

111

She's just this sweet old lady, but she has so much mystery around her.

112

It might not look like much, but it is much easier to walk on.

113

Yeah. Alright.

114

Very nice. The dock has been cleaned.

115

Next on my "To do list" is: clearing the stairs.

116

Elena told me that there are over 300 stairs on this island, so I'm not sure which one she's talking about.

117

Guess I'll just do them all.

118

I had no idea what I was getting myself into when I said that.

119

There's, like, a lot of stairs on this island.

120

Okay, so here's my method with the stairs.

121

Absolutely whacking it with a shovel and then scraping it off.

122

This is what it looks like when it's done, which is great.

123

299 to go. Elena: Coming from the dock and up to the tower, you have actually to mount 300 steps.

124

There is a lot of snow shuffling, when there is snow like now.

125

Ryan: First set of stairs done.

126

You can actually see them now, which is exciting.

127

I thought it was work just coming up these stairs, much less clearing them.

128

I'm proud of this though. This is nice.

129

Oh, yeah. I forgot to mention this this morning, but last night, after I went to bed, I actually got back up and went to the lighthouse, because it's been my dream since I was a kid to see the Northern Lights.

130

And you can see them here.

131

The only problem is: it's very dark in the lighthouse, and I accidentally fell through the top hole down the staircase, and absolutely obliterated my thigh on the metal ladder. But the worst part is: it was cloudy.

132

I didn't see any lights. So I just limped back to bed in utter sorrow.

133

It's fine. I'm fine. Anyways, back to the "To do list".

134

That's why we're here. I'm absolutely teleporting up this staircase right now.

135

Who you know, got speed like this?

136

Hey! All right, that is actually half the stairs complete.

137

So...I'm gonna take a break and clean the hotel windows.

138

Life is crazy and lonely.

139

Alright. These are the windows I'm gonna be cleaning.

140

But first things first, I'm gonna tend to the fire.

141

Elena: This is an off grid system here.

142

Meaning we have to produce our own energy.

143

Elena: It's important to...to manage how to make a fire and to keep the fire going. Ryan: Complete.

144

That's a big fire.

145

I just imagined an explosion.

146

Howdy! I'm gonna clean these windows.

147

These windows have some salt on them from the last winter storm.

148

So I'm gonna do some cleaning.

149

Let's go! I got a squeegee, and I've got some...juice.

150

I don't know what to call it. Cleaner.

151

It's so clear outside right now.

152

I'm like praying that I get to see some Northern Lights tonight.

153

That would actually just be emotional.

154

Fingers crossed.

155

I'm gonna keep cleaning.

156

Elena: These windows are a copy of the original old windows, and it's not so easy to clean them.

157

So that's why you can open the middle one, and you can lean on the outside to wash both of them.

158

Ryan: This is definitely my favorite task so far.

159

Not only do I love cleaning windows, but this was an excuse to explore the house a little bit more. I found 2 cats in the dining room, 1 named Lucy and 1 named Lawrence. See, I'm not so alone here.

160

Elena: I think if we all just take time to sit down and breathe and jump off from the "I have to, I have to, I have to"...

161

Maybe the world has to run a little bit at its own pace.

162

Ryan: The hotel windows are now clean.

163

I'm gonna finish clearing the stairs now.

164

The world's loneliest job is getting finished.

165

Elena is gonna be so happy when she sees this all completed.

166

Especially the stairs all the way to the lighthouse.

167

Clearing all the stairs took me well over 3 hours, but it was so worth it.

168

We only have 1 more task on the "To do list".

169

Probably the most exciting one.

170

Clean lighthouse tower!

171

Let's get it!

172

This view! Unreal.

173

Got more window washing stuff.

174

This is so crazy.

175

I'm going to clean this window first.

176

Got a few smudges. It's not too bad.

177

And then I'm gonna clean the outside.

178

And this one. This one's a little dirty. But look at that view!

179

That's crazy.

180

Elena: So to clean the windows of the tower is even a little bit more challenging, because you really need to do it quite professionally. So people can enjoy the view and not see, you know, the traces of your work.

181

Ryan: Oh, yeah!

182

Was I blocking that? Sorry!

183

I started off by cleaning the glass floor of the lighthouse.

184

Somehow this feels like an Instagram reel for a luxury cleaning company.

185

Hey, yo! Show some love in the comments!

186

I mean, let me know! That one's complete.

187

Now I'm gonna do outside.

188

Apart from the fact that it took me 30 minutes to set up this shot, I'm really trying to soak up this moment.

189

Today is ironically gone by pretty slow, in a place that I'll probably never return to for the rest of my life. Imagine how 17 years has felt for Elena!

190

Elena: The 17 years felt long, but of course a lot of things happened.

191

It has been challenging to get the...to get where I wanted to get with this place.

192

Ryan: Well, guys. With that, my job here is finished.

193

Oh, gosh! I almost fell down the ladder again. With absolutely no certainty of when Elena was coming back, and after a job well done, I decided to unwind and rest in one of the best views I've ever seen in my life.

194

Wow! I'm sitting here thinking about a few things. 1.

195

I am getting kind of lonely.

196

2. I can't stop thinking about how Elena said that she's been here for 17 years, and it's felt slow.

197

What? I'm 24 years old, and I feel like time is absolutely flying by.

198

Like, my years are absolutely vanishing.

199

And the beautiful thing that her job, literally her job, is just maintaining her dream. This island is her dream.

200

That's so cute.

201

I feel like all of my life is dictated by what is the most efficient.

202

I DoorDash my meals.

203

I turn my thermostat up.

204

Anyways, existential monologue over.

205

This guy just finished the world's loneliest job...for a day.

206

There's one more thing I need to do tonight.

207

But first, I'm just gonna enjoy this sunset.

208

Well, that's that. I didn't go crazy.

209

Except for on them stairs.

210

Hold up! Elena is not crazy at all.

211

She's happy, and she's a genius.

212

Sometimes being alone can teach you a lot. But turns out Elena just went to the mainland to get me dinner.

213

Oh! Hello! Elena: Hi! You can be physically alone, and without feeling sad about it, and without feeling lonely.

214

So how can I be lonely here, when I'm living my dream?
