* * * Did anyone live in Iceland before the Vikings? * * * Iceland is a relatively young island in the geological sense, being formed about 20 million years ago by a series of volcanic eruptions in the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, but it is still growing from fresh volcanic eruptions. The oldest stone specimens found in Iceland date back to c. 16 million years ago. Icelanders are undoubtedly the descendants of Vikings. Before the Vikings arrived in Iceland, the country had been inhabited by Irish monks but they had since then given up on the isolated and rough terrain and left the country without even so much as a listed name. The other main source, Landnámabók (The Book of Settlements), of 12th-century origin but known only in later versions, states explicitly that the first permanent settler, Ingólfr Arnarson, came from Norway to Iceland to settle in the year 874. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - *** TIMEFRAME *** 00:00 Kermóafoss 00: 00 Grenbotnar 00:29 Eldvörp 00:39 Kirkjuvogsbás 00:49 Hengill Volcano 01:45 Katlahraun 02:14 Stampahraun 03:04 Selháls 03:13 Vigdísarvallaleið 03:42 Hidden Black Beach 03:52 Stóra-Sandvík 04:02 Vogar at Vatnsleysuströnd 04:41 Kleifarvatn 05:08 Sveifluháls 05:28 Pétursborg 06:12 Elliðaár 07:04 Óseyrartangi 07:28 Krísuvíkurkirkja 07:57 The End - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - if you are a fellow video creator, let me support you too. – Please watch the video in 2K because the compression is so high in HD that it degrades the image quality - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Thank you for watching.
