Iceland was settled more than 1,100 years ago during the Viking age of exploration. The capital, Reykjavik (“Bay of Smokes”), is the site of the island's first farmstead. New excavations in the city centre (2000) have confirmed this. They found the remains of a longhouse from the 9th century, probably the the first house built on the site. The early settlement, made up primarily of Norwegian seafarers and adventurers, fostered further excursions to Greenland and the coast of North America. In spite of its physical isolation some 500 miles (800 km) from Scotland, its nearest European neighbour, Iceland has remained throughout its history very much a part of European civilization. It is a Scandinavian country, modern in nearly every respect.
