I was listening to a very intelligent synopsis of creatures in Iceland, and one bit piqued my interest! A very wise man said that dragons were the logical conclusion of a Medieval farmer who stumbled on a beastly fossil. Ah Hah! I always loved paleontology and underwater archeology in the way they could tell a story about the past that had not entirely passed. So, I naturally looked up what sort of dinosaurs would have roamed Iceland ( thus earning a place in the sagas as well), but, to my surprise no dinosaur fossil has been found on Iceland. I was not satisfied with that answer so I sought another opinion (cause that is all the internet can give me). I found a video on YouTube of the recovery of a massive whale fossil. OFCOURSE! Iceland probably did not even exist when dinosaurs are believed to have been roaring the earth. That answer satisfied me because volcanoes and dinosaurs don't mix, and Iceland is the product of several active volcanoes.
