Wild Arctic chars have been found in Iceland's lakes and rivers since the arrival of Viking settlers in 1874. Iceland's crystal-clear waters are the world's most natural breeding ground for Arctic char. It is found in very shallow waters and thrives in cooler temperatures than other salmonites, even in sub-zero waters.

Thousands of years ago, when glaciers retreated from Iceland, the Arctic char settled in harmony with Iceland's harsh, cold and difficult conditions. The fish had evolved migratory patterns, altering its habitat between freshwater on land and saltwater around Iceland.
