The Iceland History, Sagas and Archaeological Excavations Tour. L I n addition, a number of foreign archaeologists, universities and colleges have now suddenly shown a new (or more to the point renewed) interest in undertaking archaeological excavations in Iceland, with about half a dozen such independent excavations having been carried out during the summer of 2003 and with those added to the number of Icelandic excavations, the total came to almost 30 digs for that summer, a number which nobody could even have dreamt of achieving only a few years ago. T he main purpose of the Tour on offer here is to render it possible for the general public interested in Icelandic History in general and in Archaeology in particular to observe and take part in this new adventure, to become familiar with the historic places in question, and to observe the scientists at work and (with their kind permission which is usually easily obtained) ask questions and even see and be present when a "new" artifact comes to light for the first time after hundreds of years in the ground, an artifact which may even shed a new and unexpected light on the past history of Iceland.

Arts Language For more complete information, please visit Iceland.is. The first permanent settlers in Iceland were Norsemen from Scandinavia, arriving in the late 9th century, and Celts from the British Isles. The language of Iceland was Old Norse from the outset, but there are traces of Celtic influence in some of the Eddaic poems, in personal and place names and even in the appearance of present-day Icelanders. Iceland is the most sparsely populated country in Europe, with an average of about three inhabitants per square kilometre. Almost four-fifths of the country are uninhabited, the population being limited to a narrow coastal belt, valleys and the lowland plains in the South and Southwest. Arts Language Icelandic, the national language, has changed very little from the original tongue spoken by the Norse settlers. Icelandic has two letters of its own, Þ/þ and Ð/ð, which were used in old English. "Þ" is pronounced as "th" in "thing" and "Ð" is pronounced as the "th" in "them". A large percentage of English words derive from Icelandic. English and Danish are widely spoken and understood in Iceland.

Land Of Fire And Ice I don't know the size of this drifter, but I do know clear water when I see it. This photograph was taken by a tool pusher on an offshore drilling platform between Iceland and Greenland. Introduction: Genealogy and History research here in Iceland is supported by records dating back to the ninth century. Full of surprises, these records explode our pre-coneived notions that only Danes settled Iceland. Within a hundred years, Scots, Irish and others settled there too. Many of those surnames over time became Daneacised We host a stable population, a few people came and a few people go, but the social fabric has substantially remained insulated from stress for a remarkable eleven centuries. This stability is also expressed in record keeping; with no wars, floods or fires to destroy records, Iceland produced and maintains prodigious amounts of documented records. But life was not always idyllic in Shangri-La. In the late 19th century, violent and protracted volcanic eruptions spoiled the economy and drove 20% of the population to Nova Scotia, Canada and North-Eastern United States. Some joined the Mormon faith and moved to Salt Lake City. There is a memorial to them standing in
