 In Iceland there are modern examples of a nithing pole being raised.It is thought that the tradition has continued unbroken since the settlement of Iceland.A notable example from 2006 happened when a farmer in Bíldudalur, claiming direct descent from Egill Skallagrímsson, raised a pole with a calf's head attached against another local man with a note attached to the effect that he would not rest until the man was either outlawed or dead.
