We are two sixteen year old girls, Ragnhildur Birta and Kristrún Vala, in 10th grade in Laugalækjarskóli doing a final project on Icelandic mystic creatures. We decided to investigate their origin and chose about 10 beings to write about. We did a survey and got 1,144 responses, the survey helped us a lot to understand the knowledge of the nation. Results of the study can be found on our site. We had people of all ages answer a few questions about their knowledge on the creatures and found out that those who were under 18 years old did not know the word: kynjaverur (mystical creatures) , and only few people knew more than the Lagarfljóts worm. We used all the school subjects in our project: Icelandic, mathematics, English, Danish, natural science, social studies, textile, practical workshop and art.
Here you can take a survey where you can see what Icelandic mystic creature you are:
