About Iceland
Compared to other Nordic countries, Iceland is relatively young and still growing, thanks to active volcanoes and geothermic activity. The island’s varied landscape has characteristic lava and sand fields, and the climate is mostly tundra. Ruggedly beautiful with a liberal culture, Iceland’s appeal to tourists is growing in popularity.
