From 1262 to 1944 Iceland was ruled first by Norway and then by Denmark. Centuries of foreign rule, and such things as volcanoes(火山)and the weather, made life very difficult at times for the Icelanders: there was lots of hard work and little change. The situation began to improve during the nineteenth century. Then in 1944 Iceland became an independent republic; since that time it has become a quite rich country where the people enjoy having cars, modern houses and lots of electrical equipment. If you look at the kind of products that Iceland exports today----fish, meat and wool for example---it’s easy to see that both the sea and the land are important to Icelanders. This has been true in fact since the time of the first Icelanders--Vikings from Norway who arrived in AD874(公元874年)
Some things in the lives of the Icelanders have changed very little---the Icelandic language, for example, 700 years ago the stories called Sagas were first written down, these can still be read in the old language without much difficulty by Icelandic speakers today.
