Reindeer were imported to Iceland from Norway in the 18th century in the interest of cultivating their meat and hides. However, Icelandic people were not as prone to reindeer husbandry as their native Scandinavian cousins, and the animals were left undomesticated and free to roam the wilderness.

Today, reindeer can only be found in East Iceland, inhabiting from the vast expanse around Snæfell to as far as the glacier lagoon. During the summer months, reindeer tend to stay at higher elevations, moving down to grassier lowlands during the winter to feed. Sightings are best when the reindeer migrate to and from the valley.
