    This tweet is a quote from a song by singer-songwriter Megas (who is more or less the Icelandic version of Bob Dylan), the song is called Um óþarflega fundvísi Ingólfs Arnarsonar. The quote refers to how even though Icelanders celebrate Ingólfur’s feats, they still wish that his ship had sunk and so the country would not have become populated, because the weather and nature in Iceland are so hostile.
