Modern Icelandic no longer carries much influence, with the exception of a few geographical terms (sandur, a sandy plain, is Icelandic). However Old Norse and its evolved forms, through Danish settling in Britain, contributed to much of the English pronoun system (compare þú - you, við - we, hann - he, okkur - our, mig/mér - me, mín/minn/mitt - my, mine, etc.) and many other short words like til - to, skrifa - scribe (now write), bók - book, klukka - clock, etc. The extent of its influence is much more than this.
