Shouldn't the phrase, "along with Japan, Iceland is one of the few countries that allow people to hunt these animal" say "these animals" (plural) or "this animal" (singular)?
I agree Leif should be accepted (though when that didn't work I obviously added ericson, eventhough that part is sort of inherent to/imbedded in the question)
Correct. Thorn or þorn (Þ, þ) is a letter in the Old English, Gothic, Old Norse, Old Swedish, and modern Icelandic alphabets, as well as some dialects of Middle English. It was also used in medieval Scandinavia, but was later replaced with the digraph th, except in Iceland, where it survives.
Jökull means glacier. Eyjafjallajökull = island mountain glacier, Öræfajökull = wilderness glacier. The word for volcano is eldfjall (eld = fire, fjall = mountain). Also, I nearly missed the explorer question because his name is Leifur Eiríksson in Icelandic and I couldn't figure out how it was mangled in English.
I think "legislature" should work for the parliament question. I know that a parliament is a particular type of legislature, but is there a legislature in the world today older than Iceland's? If not, "legislature" should be an acceptable answer. I also think the definition of "parliament" itself is too nebulous to be able to meaningfully differentiate it from a legislature.

I suppose if they were really disgusting they could be eaten as punishment
