Iceland’s Cultural Riches

Iceland is open for travel once again in 2021; its natural wonders, from rugged landscapes to unique wildlife are well known – but its cultural legacy is equally rich, a blend of Norse and Celtic influences dating back to the Viking Age. Centuries of great literature include famed Icelandic “sagas,” mythology, folklore, poetry and prose; traditional arts on the world’s stage include painting, sculpting, weaving and crafts; Icelandic cuisine reflects its long seafaring heritage; and one of history’s great contributions is The Althing, the world’s longest running parliament.
