Atop Vatnajökull Glacier, you find your next clue: "Go to the land of Erik the Red." You know good ol' Erik settled this country.

Erik Thorvaldsson (aka "Erik the Red") settled Greenland in 982 AD, after his compatriot, Gunnbjørn, discovered it in 875 AD. According to Norse legend, Erik the Red called it Greenland to try and lure settlers there, although it was already largely covered in an icecap. Nevertheless, the Vikings traded in skins, fish, narwhal teeth, and walrus ivory there. Fun fact: Erik the Red fathered famous European explorer, Leif Erikson, who became the first European to visit America.
