Hmm... I've been savouring that image. I'm aware of the naming system of Icelandic peoples, quite why I have no idea, lost in the dim and distant past no doubt. I admire your independance. As for me, I'm a Brit 6' 2" and since I now live in Wales, stand out like a sore thumb! I don't know if if my cheekbones are high or not, if a cross between Donald Sullivan and Tsar Nicholas looks Nordic then maybe some raping and pillaging went on a dozen or so centuries ago. My family name comes from within the Danegeld area but I would rather think that my roots go all the way back to the mesolithic within these islands. Early Scandinavian culture sounds fascinating, my degree was more prosaic.
