How much of what we know about Norse Mythology comes from Iceland?

by LocalGrocer

I remember hearing that a lot of what we know about Norse mythology came from Iceland long after the Vikings were around: is this true?

Basically everything we think we know about 'Norse mythology' comes from post-conversion Iceland. We have no contemporary records of doctrine, theology or practice from within Scandinavian paganism, and the archaeological record can only tell us so much about belief and pratice. /u/Steelcan909 goes into much better detail here.
