Esja, Katla, Hekla, Askja, then Herdubreid, Skjaldbreid, Tindastóll, and Kaldbakur. These are names of some of the more renowned mountains in Iceland. Beautiful and exceptionally strong names that are so deeply symbolic of the land and the nation, but also of the language that has lived with us for nearly 12 centuries. Subsequently, these mountain names have also been used for businesses such as car dealerships, fishing companies, a meat processing plant, a sports club, and a cultural center in the east fjords. This is hardly surprising, as Because these are powerful names for majestic mountains.
