A proposito di questo titolo

In this pilot episode, Lucas and Luna travel back to the late 9th century, when Norse explorer Ingólfur Arnarson first sighted Iceland's volcanic coast and established a settlement at Reykjavík. They discuss the motives behind the Viking Age expansion—from political strife in Norway to the lure of new lands—and the island's surprising early history, including Irish hermits who preceded the Norse. The conversation explores how Iceland's dramatic geography, shaped by glaciers and volcanoes, influenced its culture and isolation. They touch on the founding of the Althing, one of the world's oldest parliaments, and the sagas that preserved these stories. The episode sets the stage for future explorations of Iceland's unique identity, from medieval commonwealth to modern independence.
