Eyrarbakki is now a protected area

 The village Eyrarbakki is the oldest village in Iceland.  Settlement began there in the Viking Age and soon developed into a trading post.  Until 1920, Eyrarbakki was the main trading post in the south of Iceland.  The village has now been declared a protected area.  Within those limits is a huge number of untouched antiquities.
