Hello.
I was wondering how you would say "Viking power!" in Icelandic? It was the battle cry of the late Icelandic weightlifter and bodybuilder Jón Páll Sigmarsson.
Thanks for any help.
Sincerely,

Comment: "My thanks to both stefansig and Keneva for their replies. However stefansig's answer - the synthetic form - is more what I'm looking for rather than the more analytical form which Keneva also sugggests."

með krafti víkinga!
I suppose "Vikingakraftur", as Stefán suggested, or "með krafti víkinga" would be the translation of this in Icelandic, but as far as a "battle cry" goes, Jón Páll used to shout "Ekkert mál fyrir Jón Pál!" which literally translated means "Nothing at all for Jón Páll!"
