Something wrong?About this person
Laxárdalur is a probable location, but Gönguskörð, Reykjaströnd, and Mánaþúfu - a name lost to time that has not been able to be connected to any modern location - have also been suggested. Eilífur was the son of Atli Skíðason and the brother of another colonist, Þorkell vingnir Atlason. He is mentioned in Ljósvetninga saga, Njáls saga, and Kristni saga.
