Good morning, and welcome to Iceland Daily and the Sagas. I'm Rob, your host. Every morning we start with two or three verified stories making news in Iceland, from archaeology and discoveries to volcanoes, language, culture, travel, and everyday life on the island. Then we sail back a thousand years and continue our journey through the Icelandic sagas, one installment a day across a full year. We follow the settlers of Landnamabok, the feuds of the family sagas, the voyages to Greenland and Vinland, and the kings, outlaws, poets, and legends in between. Where the medieval manuscripts disagree, we compare them side by side, and we separate what the sagas tell us from what archaeology and modern historians can actually confirm. Pull up a chair by the hearth. New episodes every morning. Takk fyrir for listening.
