I'm from iceland and i'm pretty sure solstheim is not based on it. we have werry strong nordic culture and we are not drowning in ash. i know however skyrim is a lot like iceland an norway since icelanders originaly came from Norway we have wery similar tipe of culture. a lot of things in skyrim show a lot of icelandic resembles like the weather and how the nords act not literly racist but more like feel they are welcome nowhere else and therefor have become so cold against other raises. there are even words in skyrim who are pulled straight out of icelandic. for an example Draugr in icelandic we would spell it as draugur which means ghost and a housecarl (húskarl) thats from icelandic too. most of the names in skyrim are icelandic names and there are even few words in the dragon language that come from icelandic. we had similar system to the jarl system in norway and most of all we where a free and an indipended country on that time so being under control of morrowind is not working out. sure iceland is a pretty young country and often volcanos corrupt here and we leve the rest of the world with mountains of ash but the red mountain isn't placed on solsthiem but in morrowind so they don't even have that right. if you ask me skyrim is a lot more based on iceland than solsthiem even though it's not on an isle. the only thing similar too solstheim and iceland is that it's an small isle.

sry for bad english : )
