This photo was taken off Achill Island, Co. Mayo. Those loads of turf, never mind occasional passengers, must have taken some rowing.

During its early settlement, over 30% of Iceland was covered in trees, predominantly birch forests. However, this natural resource was quickly used up and not replenished, causing land erosion throughout Iceland. In the face of this deforestation, people still needed to build safe homes for their families in this challenging climate. In Norway at this time - where most of the settlers had migrated from - turf roofs could be found. Turf offer excellent insulation better than wood or stone. This model plus the fact that the land in Iceland offered plenty of suitable turf presented a solution that eventually resulted in turf houses being built on nearly every farm in Iceland. These turf houses kept the Vikings and their descendants warm for eleven hundred years.
Turf houses (torfbaeir) were largely made up from flat stones, wood, turf and soil. A wooden frame would be built first, limiting the need for wood greatly. Then the turf that would be laid down, often in a herringbone style and in two layers to seal the insulation. The only additional wood to be added would be for doors and doorways that also served as decorative features, often beautifully carved in the richer households. Richer households would also often cover their floor in rocks or wood.
At night people would gather in the largest room the badstofa (“bath living room”) - a great hall heated with fire and containing a special chimney. The whole family and entourage would gather for the night to eat, sleep and socialize. They would tell stories, sing or recite poems. They would also knit, and make wool and skin products.
By the end of the 19th century, eleven centuries of building turf houses came to an end in Iceland. In 1890, over 87% of the population lived in turf farms in the countryside. However, going forward, people started moving into larger settlements; and from the countryside to the city, people built the colorful corrugated iron and wooden houses you can see in Reykjavik today. However, you can still find preserved turf houses around Iceland. Many turned into museums or exhibitions offering an amazing insight into the life in Iceland from the 9th to the 18th century.
