Why these languages?

Norwegian and Icelandic both descended from Old West Norse, language of vikings and fabled shieldmaidens. Today, Norwegian is spoken by over 5.3 million people, while Icelandic is spoken by over 330,000. Norwegian consists of many dialects, yet is mutually intelligible with both Danish and Swedish. Icelandic is - thanks to the strong literary tradition of the sagas - the closest living relative to Old Norse. Furthermore, Norway ranks #1 in the world for freedom of the press, and Iceland is known for being one of the best places in the world to live as a woman!
