A latecomer crosses the heath, loses his axe in the river at Þingvellir, and hides a hoard of silver that has never been found. I'm Rob, your host, and this is Iceland Daily and the Sagas, your morning walk through Iceland today and its medieval sagas. First, two stories from Iceland: Iceland-founded shipping and logistics company Samskip agrees to be acquired by Spain's Boluda Shipping, creating a short-sea network of 32 ships on 18 routes (Samskip, Iceland Review); and a mother and son from Iceland who took their love of jigsaw puzzles to the World Jigsaw Puzzle Championship in Spain (mbl.is). Then our theme: friendship under pressure. Ketilbjörn the Old arrives late in his ship Elliði, spends his first winter with his in-laws, and crosses the heath to name Skálabrekka, Öxará and Reyðarmúli. He takes Grímsnes, Laugardalur and Biskupstungur, settles at Mosfell, and hides his silver on the mountain when his sons refuse to forge a silver temple beam. His half-brother Hallkell refuses his gift of land and fights a duel for land instead, and two latecomers find the land he gave them too small. We compare Hauksbók, Sturlubók and Íslendingabók, follow Ketilbjörn's line to Gissur the White and the first bishops of Skálholt, and visit Þingvellir, Mosfell and Skálholt. Monday: a man called Mörður Fiddle answers a killing with three marriages, and one of them leads to Gunnar of Hlíðarendi.
