Icelandic sheep
As one of the world’s purest and oldest sheep breeds, Icelandic sheep are strong and sturdy animals with beautiful, thick coats. Long-used in Iceland for their meat and wool, the sheep that exist in Iceland today are direct descendants of the sheep brought to the island nation by early Viking settlers.
With around 500,000 sheep and only around 370,000 humans, it’s safe to say there are more sheep than people residing in the Land of Fire and Ice.
