Hunting for trolls in Iceland
Iceland is rich of stories about hidden people and trolls and Icelanders have been telling tales and sagas for centuries and are willing to tell anyone who wants to listen. If you have the chance to travel around Iceland and get to know the stories connected to the places, it will give you a better feeling off the place and the community.
BBC Earth visited Iceland with Melissa Hogenboom in search for trolls. Of course they visited the geosite Brimketill or Oddnýjarlaug in Reykjanes Geopark (see min 9:10). This small, naturally carved pool, by marine erosion is in the lava shore edge west of the town of Grindavík. The folklore relates that it was regularly occupied by a giantess named Oddný.
