The statue of the first Viking settlers of Akureyri

The Book of the Settlement of Iceland attributes the first settlement, in 890, to Helgi Magri the Lean and his wife Þórunn Hyrna. Born in Ireland, Helgi was the son of an Irish princess, Raforta, and a Norwegian father. As a young man he was sent to the Hebrides before becoming a great chief and marrying Þórunn Hyrna. When he arrived as a settler in Iceland, he threw overboard his beams with the effigy of the pagan gods, which washed up 7 km south of the present Akureyri.
