I found this quite interesting.
While driving through Spanish Fork one day, I saw this "Lighthouse in the Desert". It seemed a little odd to me so I stopped to "read more about it".

The plaque says "Leif Eriksson, an Icelander, discovered America in 1000 AD. Eight centuries later, in 1855-1860, sixteen pioneers from Iceland established in Spanish Fork the first permanent Icelandic Settlement in the United States."
