Early life

Helgi Þorvaldsson was born on March 17, 1945, in the Eilífð neighborhood of Hverhöfn. He was the oldest of four siblings. His father was a shipyard laborer and his mother a nurse. The Eilífð neighborhood at that time was a tight-knit community, mostly comprising working-class families. As a youth, Helgi was academically inclined and showed a particular interest for history and political science. He was an active participant in school debates and community forums, where he often spoke passionately about social justice issues.

After graduating from high school with honors, he received a scholarship to attend the University of Hverland. Here, he majored in Political Science and became actively involved in student politics, serving as the president of the student council in his senior year. His leadership during this time garnered the attention of local Social Democratic Party leaders, setting the stage for his entrance into the world of national politics.
