The Republic of Iceland, located in the North Atlantic Ocean has a small population of approximately 320,000 most of who live in the capital city of Reykjavík. It is closely located to Greenland and Norway, after the UK it is Europe’s largest island which comprises a total of 31 islands.

Iceland is volcanically active and its volcanoes are known to erupt violently, causing havoc to the rest of Europe when the clouds of ash are wafted across the continent, this happened with the volcano in Eyjafjallajökull in southern Iceland during 2011. Much of Iceland is covered by mountains and glaciers with rivers running through, being an island nation, Iceland was traditionally known as having a large deep sea fishing industry for much of its history until it developed its financial and economic industries, although not always to its advantage.

Most people from Iceland are descended from Norse men and this is reflected in its cultural heritage. Iceland is also famous for the fjords along its wandering coastline and the coastal areas are where most Icelanders make their home as the central areas of Iceland are inhospitable.

The main towns are the capital of Reykjavík, Kópavogur, Hafnarfjörður and Garðabær, Reykjanesbær. At the point of the Arctic Circle are three national parks: Vatnajökull National Park, Snæfellsjökull National Park, and Þingvellir. Apart from the volcanoes that dot the landscape, Iceland is also famous for its geysers, most notably the Strokkur geyser which erupts every 5–10 minutes.
