  The Icelandic Place Names Committee named it Surtsey, 
  after the Norse giant Surtr, who according to the creation 
  story Völuspá had come from the South with fire and fought 
  with the god Freyr at Ragnarök just before the end of the 
  world.
Isn't Nordic mythology just awesome! It would make a fantastic Peter Molyneux game plot.
