Egilsstaðir is a town in east Iceland on the banks of Lagarfljót river. The town has approximately 2,200 inhabitants. The town is young, even by Icelandic standards where urbanization is a fairly recent trend compared to mainland Europe.
Icelanders are the national group or ethnic group of Iceland descended primarily from Norsemen of Scandinavia and Celts from Ireland and Scotland. Historical and DNA records indicate that around 60 to 80 percent of the settlers were of Nordic origin and the rest were of Celtic stock from the British Isles. They are very friendly!
