Helwick is my paternal grandmother's maiden name.
I was just looking at the itinerary of a tour to Iceland. One day of the tour was titled Hella/Vik. It included a drive from the town of Hella south to the town of Vik.
According to Wikipedia the name Hella comes from the caves near the river where Hella is located. Irish monks lived in or near those caves at the time of first settlement.
Vik is the southern most town of Iceland. Vik means cove or bay in Scandinavian.
