520 |a This article discusses the fundamental fluidity of Icelandic place-lore. It approaches this topic through the example ofthe settlement of Auðr the Deep-Minded in western Iceland as described by the thirteenth-century ‘Book of Settlements’ (Landnámabók).I undertake ananalysisof this medieval account, which places a central focus on the naming and narrativeinterpretation of the local landscapeof the Hvammsfjörður fjord, with recourse tomaterial preserved in nineteenth-century travel writing, folklore,and toponymy.I then relate my findingsto classic perspectives in landscape theory and highlight the extreme ambivalences that become visible in the landscape construction represented by this materialif one considers its linguistic minutiae.
