Iceland was the first spot colonized by the Celtics. When St. Brendan left on his trip this was the first place he stopped at. Brendan found the land good enough for some farming and also had a lot of lumber. Brendan sent people back to Ireland talking about his discoveries there. The Celtics were amazed and had more people go there. The people found Brendan was right. Settlements were started on the southern part of the island. Many farms appeared and sent a steady supply of food back to Ireland. As years went on more people came to Iceland. St. Brendan came here numerous times as he started settlements here. The settlers erected a statue of St. Bredan in honor of him. Iceland became the main spot for people who wanted to go west to Greenland or North Brendania (OTL North America).
