In Iceland, research has been developed in the humanitarian fields of history, linguistics and literary criticism. Among historians of the 19th century it should be noted the statesman Jone Sigurdsson (1811-1879), then Björn M. Olsen (1850-1919) and many others. From literary scholars of the 20th century Sigurdur Nordal (1886-1974) and Yone Nelgason (1899-1986) stand out. Natural science observations have been carried out for many centuries, but research has expanded widely only in the second half of the 20th century. Björn Gunnlögsson (1788–1876) compiled the first accurate maps of Iceland with a geodetic justification. In the second half of the 19th century Torvaldur Toroddsen (1855-1921) studied and mapped the desert inland areas of the country. There are currently several internationally recognized scientists at the University of Iceland.
