Although often associated with, and certainly influenced by, the cultures of its fellow Scandinavian and Nordic countries, Iceland’s culture is more individual than one might imagine for such a small country. Its relative isolation for many centuries has meant that its language, rooted in Old Norse, has not modernized as much as, say, Norwegian or Danish, and contemporary citizens can still clearly read and understand the ancient sagas. Indeed, literary culture, as well as music, crafts, and Viking gods and folk myths (think elves and trolls), still resonate strongly throughout contemporary society. This vibrant mix of ancient history and modern culture is a joy to explore and can be found throughout the country in famous landmarks such as Thingvellir (or Þingvellir) and Parliament House and in a range of dedicated historic museums.
