Coat of arms of Iceland

The coat of arms of Iceland has a silver-fimbriated, red cross on blue shield. The supporters are the four protectors of Iceland (landvættir) standing on a pahoehoe lava block. The bull ("Griðungur") is the protector of northwestern Iceland, the eagle or griffin ("Gammur") protects northeastern Iceland, the dragon ("Dreki") protects the southeastern part, and the rock-giant ("Bergrisi") is the protector of southwestern Iceland.
