This is basically all you need to know about the establishment of the country, it sums it up very well.
Every country should have 2 minutes video where u can learn about the establishment and basics of a country/ brilliant work.

At least he was one of the greatest explorers!!

Naddoddur is concidered to be Faroese.
At least Naddoddurs offspring lives in Faroe islands and maybe Iceland.
There have been theories that maybe naddoddur disvovered Vinland before EIrik hin reyði!!

Before the discovery of fire what humans did for getting itby qasimyad2,577 views
The first permanent settler, Ingólfur Arnarson is belived to have settled in 874AD.
Resent archaeology findings in Reykjavik suggest however that Iceland was settled much earlyer, or as early as 720 AD.
It´s not yet known by whom.

it wasn't a swede who first settled btw. Ingólfur Arnarson from norway is recognized as the first permanent Nordic settler of Iceland. According to Landnáma he built his homestead in Reykjavík in 874. Although recent archaeological finds in Iceland suggest settlement may have started a little earlier, the date is probably not too far off

Like I said in the video, Gardar- the Swede, ditn´t settle here but he stayed over winther.
Ingolfur was the first permanent settler.
Naddoddur was born in Norway and was one of the first settlers in Föreyjar.

Naddoddur was the first who discovered iceland. he was from Faroe Islands.
Iceland is mostly inhabited from Norwegians but also some Sweds and Faroese.

You are right, well actually there were some Irish monks here first (Papar) but they left when the Norse came.
But Nadoddur was the first known of the Norse people to land here and tell others about it.

You were wrong, Eric came much later, but he was the first Europeean to settle in Greenland.
