After a long winter, Icelanders are ready for spring. One of the first signs of spring in Iceland is the return of the numerous migratory bird species that breed in Iceland over the summer. The Golden plover (Pluvialis apricaria), or lóa in Icelandic, is one of the very first signs of spring in Iceland.
Sheep are an essential part of Iceland and some 800.000 roam the country, a little more than double the 388,000 human population.

Þorri (Thorri) is the Icelandic name of the embodiment of frost or winter in Norse mythology. The month of Þorri, in essence from latter January to Mid-February, is one of the coldest and harshest of winter.
