Iceland, a Nordic island nation, is defined by its dramatic landscape with
volcanoes, geysers, hot springs, and lava fields. The local natural wonder that
is perhaps most ingrained in the fabric of Icelandic culture is the bounty of
natural energy. According to the ancient manuscript Landnámabók, the settlement
of Iceland began in 874 AD when the Norwegian chieftain Ingólfr Arnarson became
the first permanent settler on the island. Iceland is a country of sharp
contrasts. A place where fire and ice co-exist. Where dark winters are offset by
the summer’s midnight sun. This is a collection of 11 quotes and proverbs on
