Icelander or Icelandic

I'm just glad I'm not one yet.

What the future holds may change that overnight here in the U.S.A. as well.

From Yahoo dictionary (American Heritage Dictionary) we have the following:

Ice·land (slnd) KEY

An island country in the North Atlantic near the Arctic Circle. Norse settlers arrived c. 850-875, and Christianity was introduced c. 1000. Iceland passed to Norway in 1262 and, with Norway, to Denmark in 1380. In 1918 it became a sovereign state still nominally under the Danish king, until Icelanders voted for full independence in 1944. Reykjavík is the capital and the largest city. Population: 280,000.



OTHER FORMS:
Iceland·er (Noun)

Icelandic is also listed in the above referenced dictionary as referring to the people as a whole in the adjective form, but I believe the term for the individual icelandic person is icelander; that is the noun form.
