Christmas is just around the corner – or as we call it in Icelandic, ‘Jólin’. Fun fact: it’s actually plural! 🎄 It’s fascinating how many people don’t realise the origins of so many Christmas traditions in the Western world. Curious? Here’s a great video that explains some of them: https://www.facebook.com/reel/1721577788062753

The incredible 1,000-year legacy of a single Native American woman, lost to history, was just found hidden in the DNA of families in Iceland.

In 2010, a genetic study looked at the DNA of about 80 people from four Icelandic families and found something that puzzled them. They all shared a specific genetic marker that isn't from Europe.

This genetic line, known as C1e, is almost exclusively found in Native American populations. Researchers believe it entered the Icelandic gene pool sometime around 1000 AD. 🧬

This is the same time period when the Vikings were exploring the coasts of North America. They even established a small settlement in what is now Newfoundland, Canada, a place they called Vinland.

It seems very likely that during one of these voyages, a Native American woman was brought back to Iceland, possibly as a captive or a settler.

Imagine that journey across the cold Atlantic, leaving your whole world behind to start a new life in a completely unknown land. It's a powerful human story.

Her DNA has now been passed down through roughly 40 generations, a silent testament to her existence and survival. Over 1,000 years later, science has finally uncovered her story. 🗺️

This discovery challenges the timeline we all learned in school, suggesting the first American may have arrived in Europe nearly 500 years before Columbus ever sailed west.

Went few days ago to Hveragil and along the Vatnajökull glacier to Gæsavötn. The wilderness of the northern highland of Iceland is majestic.
