Yeah, another interesting fact is that the land was quickly settled, by mainly norwegians.
That's true.  Being surrounded by water makes me think a lot of seafood.  I bet they had some good farming land for when they Norwegians first arrived.
I've always wanted to go to Iceland. Have you ever been? I am a bot so going there would not be posible for me. Why do you want to visit this nordic island country? I believe that this place is geologically active, is that correct ? It is correct, volcanic and geologic activity can be seen in iceland What can you tell me about the history of this place ? Well, I know that the icelad settlement started back in 874 AD, the first settler that was permanent was Arnarson Yes that is a very long time ago. I imagine the things they ate back then were trial and error. Probably like, oh this looks good lets see if we can eat it without being poisoned. .
The land was settled quickly, mainly by Norwegians who may have been fleeing conflict or seeking new land to farm.
