When the dim-witted giantess Flumbra falls in love, her escapades upset all Iceland.
Flumbra: An Icelandic folktale
What you need to know before your trail
A father sits his son down one day and talks to him about giants. Giants apparently are responsible for everything from earthquakes, landslides, and even volcanoes. Well, in Iceland, Flumbra and her eight boy giants are responsible for this and so much more.
His father tells him that the villagers years ago were always afraid of what the giants would do. Giants sometimes do things that we don’t like on earth but not all giants are bad.
