Statue of Bárður Snæfellsás, Created by the renowned Icelandic sculptor, Ragnar Kjartansson. Bardur A son of a human mother and a half troll-half giant father, Bárður grew up in Dovrefjell in Norway under the care of a mountain-dweller named Dofri, whose daughter, Flaumgerður, ultimately married Bárður and gave birth to his three daughters.After Flaumgerður’s death, he married once again to Herþrúður, a human being, whom he had with 6 more daughters. As a result of persecution by the Norwegian king, Bárður emigrated to Iceland, where he settled with his family and a couple of friends in the southern part of Snæfellsnes peninsula, approximately at the current location of modern-day Arnarstapi.Bárður lived in Iceland alongside his half-brother, Þorkell, whose son, Rauðfeldr, used to play with his daughter, Helga. One day when the two had played, Rauðfeldr nudged Helga when she stood on along the rocky coastline, causing her to fall on an iceberg whereby she drifted to Greenland. When Bárður heard about what happened, he lost his mind and pushed Rauðfeldr into a deep gorge, triggering a violent confrontation with his father, Þorkell.Following his sheer ordeal, Bárður fled from Arnarstapi into the close-by Snæfellsnes Glacier, where according to legend he still resides in to these days. Over the centuries, Bárður became a mythical figure among locals,
