5. Elf School
Translated into Icelandic as Álfaskólinn, the Elf School of Iceland is where people go if they want to learn about folklore and the different types of Icelandic elves.

In addition to semester-long classes, the school offers a single five-hour seminar for those who are just a little bit curious.
