Reykjavík, Iceland's capital, is the northernmost capital of a sovereign state. It's home to about two-thirds of the country's population and runs almost entirely on geothermal energy. Pretty sustainable vibe up there

What other cities are there in Iceland?
Besides Reykjavík, Iceland's got other cool spots like Akureyri, often called the "Capital of the North," and Hafnarfjörður, known for its Viking history and lava fields. Akranes and Selfoss are also worth a mention for their unique vibes
What can you tell me about Akureyri?
Akureyri is known as the "Capital of the North" in Iceland. It's a key port and fishing hub at the base of Eyjafjörður Fjord. Plus, it's got a surprisingly mild climate thanks to its location and ice-free harbor
Real viking land. When was the town founded?
Akureyri's origins trace back to around AD 890 when an Irish Viking, Helgi Magri Eyvindarson, settled there. It's not an exact "founding" date, but that's the earliest record we got
Thats so cool! Can you tell me more about Helgi Magri Eyvindarson?
