The national bird of Iceland is the Puffin – the penguin’s smaller but flight-capable cousin. If you visit Iceland in winter you won’t see a single one of these little orange bird anywhere, as they migrate to the mid/southern-Atlantic to feed. Someone you’re more likely to encounter, year-round, is the Hrafn – or the raven. Ravens in Iceland, and Norse countries in general, have a mythological and historical significance. Ravens serve as messengers of Odin, bringing omens of death or misfortune. In terms of history, Iceland is believed to have been completely uninhabited by humans until the settlement age (roughly 870 AD). The island was first accidentally encountered by a viking named Naddod sometime before 870. Later, another man named Hrafna-Flóki Vilgerðarson became the first man to intentionally sail for the newly discovered landmass. Setting out from the Faroe Islands, he sent out three ravens to sea. One flew back towards the Faroe islands and didn’t return. One came back to the ship. And another flew to the Northwest, guiding Hrafna-Flóki to Iceland. He stayed at the island for some time and eventually gave it the name it has today – Iceland. So, you might say that the Raven gave Iceland its name, something the Puffin cannot claim.
