A bit of history

Iceland, a land sculpted by nature and history, bears the indelible marks of its Viking past. In the late 9th century, Norse Vikings, led by Ingólfur Arnarson, settled this North Atlantic island. The Icelandic Sagas, written in the 13th century, chronicle these early years, weaving tales of exploration, settlement, and cultural evolution. The country emerged from a union with Norway, later succumbing to the rule of Denmark. In 1904, Iceland gained a constitution, and full independence was achieved in 1944. The echoes of this tumultuous history resonate in the landscapes, traditions, and resilient spirit of modern Iceland, a testament to a journey from Viking roots to a sovereign nation.
