Regarding horses, Iceland has a fairly stringent policy. Icelandic horses are among the purest breeds in the world, so if they ever leave, they are not allowed to come back. Although it may sound cruel, Icelanders don’t intend to change the isolation of their horses any time soon.

Icelanders have a highly detailed database of each generation thanks to a family-tree software. This was made feasible by compiling surveys across the nation and documenting every aspect of their ancestry. Nowadays, Icelanders may quickly research their ancestry online and go back hundreds of years. The majority of them learned that their ancestors were members of a small clan of Celtic and Viking settlers.
