Iceland
ICELAND – An adventurous country creating memories for life
If you look in your atlas, you will find an island in the northwest corner of Europe, between Scotland and Greenland. That island is Iceland. Its size is about twice the size of Switzerland and the population is about 310.000. More than half of the population live in the capital area, Reykjavik and the surrounding area in the south-west part of the country, but all together only on one tenth part of the island. The coast all around, is habitable. The rest is uninhabited, areas with glaciers, mountains volcanoes and unspoiled nature as far as can be seen.
Iceland, the country with the cold name is not as cold as it sounds, even though its location is near the Arctic Circle. Because of the Gulf Stream that surrounds it, the country has relatively mild climate, milder than many parts of Northern Europe and the USA during winter. In the summertime the climate is temperate and the sun never sets. So you will experience over 20 hours of comfortable daylight!
The clean air and the pure water is our pride. Iceland has magnificent nature with hot springs coming from the earth where you least expect it and Europe’s largest glacier, Vatnajökull, whose peaks reach high up and can be seen from the south coast of Iceland.
