Ingólfr Arnarson

**Ingólfr Arnarson** () and his wife, Hallveig Frodesdatter, are commonly said to be the first permanent Nordic settlers of Iceland. According to tradition, they founded Reykjavík in 874.

According to the Landnámabók (a book which describes the settlement of Iceland by the Norsemen), he built his house in modern-day Reykjavík and named the city as well. Medieval historian Ari Þorgilsson claimed that Arnarson was the first Nordic settler in Iceland, but Irish monks and hermits lived there before he arrived. He also claimed that the they left because they did not want to live with the newly arrived Norse pagans.

The Landnámabók claims that Arnarson left modern-day Norway after becoming involved in a blood feud. He had heard about an island that Garðar Svavarsson, Flóki Vilgerðarson and others found while sailing in the Atlantic ocean. With his step-brother, Hjörleifr Hróðmarsson, he sailed for Iceland. When land was in sight, he threw his high seat pillars overboard and promised to settle where the gods decided to bring them ashore. Two of his slaves then searched the coasts for three years before finding the pillars in the small bay which eventually became Reykjavík.

Meanwhile, Hjörleifr Hróðmarsson was murdered by his Irish slaves because of how badly he was treating-them. Ingólfr hunted them down and killed them in Vestmannaeyjar (Westman Islands). The islands got their name from that event, but vestmenn (west men) is a name that the Norsemen at this time sometimes used for Irishmen. He continued to live in southwestern Iceland, but nothing is known about what happened to him after settling. His son, Torstein (_Þorsteinn Ingólfsson_), was said to have founded the first parliament, in Iceland. It later became known as the Althing.

Keflavík

**Keflavík** (meaning _Driftwood Bay_) is a town in the Suðurnes region in southwest Iceland. In 2016 its population was at 15,129 people.

In 1995, the town merged with Njarðvík and Hafnir to form the Reykjanesbær municipality.

## History

The town was founded in the 16th century, possibly by Scottish people. Like many other Icelandic towns, the city grew with the help of the fishing industry.  The city then continued to grow from flight operations done at the Keflavík International Airport (which was built by the United States during World War II). The airport used to be an important NATO military base and refueling stop for trans-Atlantic flights. It is now Iceland's main airport.

The airport was also used during the Cold War to monitor marine and submarine traffic from the Atlantic Ocean. The base was officially closed on 30 September 2006, when the United States withdrew the remaining 30 military personnel.

In Iceland, Keflavík was known for being a rich source of musicians during the 1960s and 70s, and is therefore also known as _bítlabærinn_ or "The Beatle Town".

## Geography

The town is situated on plenty of basalt rubble. On a clear day, one can see Snæfellsjökull (which is about 115 km away).

## Climate

The city has cool summers and moderately cold winters.

Spanish treasure fleet

The **Spanish treasure fleet**, or **West Indies Fleet** from Spanish _Flota de Indias_, was a convoy system adopted by the Spanish Empire from 1566 to 1790. It linked Spain with its territories in America across the Atlantic into the West Indies; and via Acapulco, across the Pacific into the East Indies.

The convoys were general-purpose cargo fleets used for transporting wide varieties of merchandise. These included agricultural produce including spices, sugar, tobacco, lumber; various metal resources of silver, gold; and luxeries such as gems, pearls, silk, and other exotic goods. From the colonies, these were sent back to the Spanish mainland. Passengers and their amenities such as soap, textiles, books and tools were transported in the opposite direction. The West Indies fleet was the first permanent _transatlantic trade route_ in history, which consequently spurred the Manila-Acapulco **Galleon Trade** that became the first permanent trade route across the Pacific.
