Zhe formation: Sorry I have wondered the same thing for years (the landmass i mean) and no-one seems to know or bother to tell me, put it in a book or on the internet. However I found this: "Iceland was formed for about 24 million years." I assume it was 24 million years ago. Though there are great masses of sands and peninsulas that were formed by volcanoes more recently. Zhe discovery: (Possibly) Irish monks 7th century. (Most (very, very) likely:) Vikings 860s-874s) (9th Century). Zhe settlement: Ingólfr Arnarson (Norseman) 874. Zhe foundation; Icelandic Commonwealth: 930. Scandinavian kings: 1262-1918. Home rule: 1918. Modern Icelandic Republique: 1944.
