			Todstein (so-named by Efraim Graben, in one of his last acts before his death in 644) was discovered in 640 and its finder, Lars Viggsen, re-visited it twice in as many years, bringing back a dozen reindeer on his second voyage. Viggsen’s ship failed
			to return from its fourth foray, and his
			discovery that the snow never melts scuttled
			any plan to establish settlements on the other
			isle. Viggsen and his doomed crew are
			thought to have frozen to death when their
			knarr, Óndskapur, was dashed to pieces
			against an iceberg; many believe Todstein’s
			waters are haunted by their spirits.

	History tells that [[Lars Viggsen]], renowned discoverer of [[Todstein]], and his crew perished in [[644 BC]], when their [[knarr]], the Óndskapur, collided with an iceberg. This is only half right. Viggsen's crew actually survived the impact, but their vessel was inextricably lodged in the gigantic floe's flank. Unwilling to desert his beloved ship, Viggsen drove his men to try to free the Óndskapur even after their efforts had plainly proven futile.

Captain and crew actually survived the impact, but their knarr was inextricably lodged in the gigantic floe's flank.

	Unwilling to desert his beloved ship, Viggsen drove his men to try to free her despite ample evidence testifying to the futility of their of their efforts. Food supplies dwindled and their limited stockpile of firewood ran out, yet Viggsen kept his men chipping away at the entrapping [[ice]] with tools, daggers, or bare, frostbitten hands. Realizing that the captain's fanaticism would soon condemn the lot of them to an icy [[grave]], the desperate men [[mutinied]] and hurled Viggsen into the sea. As their captain's [[corpse\|body]] drifted away, the crew could have sworn that his facial features were frozen in a smirk. It was soon discovered that Viggsen had chopped holes in the lifeboats, and had cast all the carpentry tools into the sea, making repairs impossible.
