Iceland.
A rock island in the Atlantic ocean. Barely a dot on the global chart. Still a youngster on the geological time scale. But it really is a beautiful place, and it is home.
Home to about 320.000 people, home to a select fiew species of flaura and fauna who have adapted to its sometimes crushingly harsh environment and home to a long tradition of nature related myths and legends, old gods and goddesses, elves, jotnar, trolls and a hoast of other supernatural beings.
The world in which they were conceived has long passed into the shadows of history, they no longer have a clear purpose, a reason for existing, but they were never forgotten. And thus, in a way, they have remained alive.
But what are they like? Our legends of the past, our myths from darker times? what do they remember and how do they survive today?
They invite you to read on and find out.
