This is kind of an unusual question, but I was curious about the identification of a song which appears to be of Icelandic origin. As a child I had a electronic wand-activated "Smart Globe" and one of its more unusual features was the national jingles: the globe had the established national anthems, but would also play a themed jingle alongside the name of each country when set to the "Name" setting, usually some kind of nationally-specific folk song or classical piece. Going back to the globe, some of these I recognize: Japan is Sakura, Sakura; Italy gets Vivaldi and Poland Chopin, but I wasn’t sure of the identify of the Iceland track (00:22-00:30). Is anyone here familiar with the origin of this tune?

Sounds like a classical piece but I don’t recognise it
Never heard it, and I’ve lived most my life in Iceland
Never heard this before having lived all my life in Iceland. I get the feeling they couldn’t think of anything for Iceland so they just went with some winter sounding jingle.
