THE SNORRI PROGRAMSWhat Makes the Iceland-North America Connection Unique?
Between 1875 and 1915, an estimated 15%-20% of Iceland’s population emigrated from Iceland to North America.
They left Iceland for many reasons, including the harsh climate, poor socio-economic conditions, and the devastation following the eruption of the volcano Askja.
Did you know there are an estimated 250,000 people of Icelandic descent living in North America?
Since 1999, over 700 people have participated in the Snorri Programs, helping to keep our shared heritage and cultural ties alive. Will you be next?
