Explore the ancient reference Iceland Late Medieval, its closest modern genetic matches, ancestry models, and genetic distance heatmap.
Iceland Late Medieval is a reference in the World Genetics ancient G25 dataset. This page compares its coordinates with modern and ancient references. Labels may identify a sampled group, archaeological context, individual, or simulation; they do not necessarily describe an entire ancient population.
The map shows similarity to present-day reference populations, not the historical territory of this ancient group. Genetic similarity alone does not establish direct descent.
In the World Genetics modern G25 comparison, the closest non-self match for Iceland Late Medieval is Norwegian. Other nearby references include Norwegian Bergen, Swedish, Danish, and German North. This gives the Iceland Late Medieval profile its nearest modern genetic context inside the current reference database.
