About Iceland
A Nordic Island Nation Like No Other
Perched on the edge of the Arctic Circle, Iceland is one of the most geologically active places on Earth. This small island nation of just 370,000 people sits atop the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, where the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates are slowly drifting apart.
This unique position gives Iceland its distinctive landscape: active volcanoes, vast glaciers, powerful geysers, and steaming hot springs exist side by side. The country generates nearly 100% of its electricity from renewable geothermal and hydroelectric sources.
Beyond the natural wonders, Iceland boasts a rich Viking heritage, a thriving contemporary culture, and a culinary scene that has gained international recognition. Reykjavik, the world's northernmost capital, offers world-class dining, vibrant nightlife, and a creative arts community.
