Historical Nonfiction

Due to Iceland’s geographical isolation from mainland Europe, no humans ever set foot on Iceland until mediaeval times. The first humans to arrive on Iceland were Irish explorers, who arrived no later than the year 795. They established a colony, but it didn’t last. By the time the Vikings arrived eighty years later and established a permanent settlement, only a few hermits remained. (The picture is because I thought it looked cool. I have no clue where those Vikings are, so I suppose it could be Iceland.)
