Are you interested in dragons, swordplay, and Viking plunder? Then the Icelandic sagas may be for you.     Did you know that Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday are named after the Norse Gods: Tyr, Odin, Thor and Frey?     Without the Icelanders we would not know any of the stories from Nordic mythology. The medieval Icelanders produced more manuscripts in everyday language than any other country in Europe.     Modern Icelanders are proud of their heritage, but they do not live in the past. Icelanders are discovering new frontiers in technology, just as their ancestors discovered America.     When you visit Iceland, you cannot help but be fascinated by its geysers and active volcanoes, so even though it is a small country, it will still surprise and amaze you.        Search engines & general info -> Embassy of Iceland in the USA -> Icelandic Tourist Board -> Iceland Export Directory -> Randburg.com     Education/Language -> Mál og menning Publishers, Books on Iceland -> Libraries in Iceland -> Icelandic Phrase Page -> Landsbókasafn Íslands - Háskólabókasafn -> University of Iceland -> National and University Library of Iceland -> Database of Colleges and Universities in North America that teach Icelandic -> Free Icelandic Language Course News in Icelandic -> Morgunbladid Reykjavik -> DV Reykjavik     News in English -> Iceland Review     Vacationing and traveling -> Excite Travel: Destination Iceland -> Destination Iceland -> Iceland Travel -> Icelandair     Politics -> Althingi's homepage Click on the map above to see an enlarged view
