Summary note

In this richly illustrated journey, Manchán Magan traces the forgotten presence of the Irish in Iceland; monks and migrants, storytellers and shapeshifters who helped shape a land we've long imagined aspurely Norse.Through language, lore, place names, DNA, and landscape, Magan uncovers the traces of Gaelic life woven throughIceland's sagas and stones. With curiosity and care, this book reveals how two island nations, once deeply connected,share more than we've been taught to remember. Ireland in Iceland offers a new perspective on ancestry, belonging,and the lasting traces of culture carried across oceans.
