Haraldr konungr bauð kunngum manni at fara í hamfǫrum til Íslands ok freista, hvat hann kynni segja honum. Sá fór í hvalslíki. En er hann kom til landsins, fór hann vestr fyrir norðan landit. Hann sá, at fjǫll ǫll ok hólar váru fullir af landvættum, sumt stórt, en sumt smátt. En er hann kom fyrir Vopnafjǫrð, þá fór hann inn á fjǫrðinn ok ætlaði á land at ganga. Þá fór ofan eptir dalnum dreki mikill ok fylgðu honum margir ormar, pǫddur ok eðlur ok blésu eitri á hann. En hann lagðisk í brot ok vestr fyrir land, allt fyrir Eyjafjǫrð. Fór hann inn eptir þeim firði. Þar fór móti honum fugl svá mikill, at vængirnir tóku út fjǫllin tveggja vegna, ok fjǫldi annarra fugla, bæði stórir ok smáir. Braut fór hann þaðan ok vestr um landit ok svá suðr á Breiðafjǫrð ok stefndi þar inn á fjǫrð. Þar fór móti honum griðungr mikill ok óð á sæinn út ok tók at gella ógurlega. Fjǫldi landvætta fylgdi honum. Brot fór hann þaðan ok suðr um Reykjanes ok vildi ganga upp á Víkarsskeiði. Þar kom í móti honum bergrisi ok hafði járnstaf í hendi, ok bar hǫfuðit hærra en fjǫllin, ok margir aðrir jǫtnar með honum.
Þaðan fór hann austr með endlǫngu landi. "Var þá ekki nema sandar ok øræfi ok brim mikit fyrir útan, en haf svá mikit millim landanna," segir hann, "at ekki er þar fœrt langskipum."
