The Pure Race.
Iceland can boast that it has a very pure racial non mixture, compared to everyone else. The origins of the Icelandic peoples, come from a fleeing Viking/Norse tribe and the taking of Irish females. It is difficult to know if this was done by force or not, but after arriving on this volcanic island the peoples went through tremendous struggles to survive starvation.
Over the last 1500 years these people have come to terms with their environment. In that time many other nations such as Norway and Denmark have tried to claim them, without success. But the Icelandic do not want to mix like other cultures and this may be the end for them, through genetic mutations. cousins marrying each other over time?
