Lýður Guðmundsson is an Icelandic businessman, one of the two brothers behind the food company Bakkavör, who lived in London at the time of his Everest climb. On 23 May 2019 he reached the summit of Everest from Nepal by the South Col route, on Adventure Consultants' expedition, together with the Icelandic guide Leifur Örn Svavarsson. Icelandic press reported that the climb completed his Explorers Grand Slam, the highest mountain on every continent plus the North and South Poles, and that he was the third Icelander to do so, after Haraldur Örn Ólafsson and Leifur Örn.
