Despite having a population the size of Malmö, Iceland has a reputation in the World's Strongest Man competition that stands higher than perhaps any other country's. This small black rock in the middle of the ocean has produced a lineage of strongmen that dates back to the Vikings.VICE went out there to investigate what it is about this tiny island that produces such strong people. Hanging out at Jakabol – a gym run by ex-champion Magnus Ver Magnusson – we met a whole host of Icelandic strongmen, which includes Hafthor "Thor" Bjornsson, the 6'9 star of Game Of Thrones.
