Ingolf Arnarson, or Ingólfur Arnarson in modern Icelandic, was the first confirmed Norseman to permanently settle Iceland in 874 AD.

By 930 AD most arable land was considered claimed, and Iceland was first founded as a state then, with the founding of the national parliament. But the parliament was founded by a number of people, so I don't think you can claim there is a single founder of Iceland..

I have a picture of what I was told was Erik the Great founder of Iceland. It is inside glass in the Pearl in Iceland. Who is this statue of?

Supposedly you are talking about Erik the Red, founder of Greenland according to sources. First European to go to Greenland and a settler before the Inuits came there (there was a different now extinct culture of native americans before Erik). He was the father of Leifur Heppni (Leif the lucky) who discovered the American mainland. This is of course just a wax statue and no one knows how they really looked like.
