OVERVIEW
Situated on the North Atlantic Ocean, Iceland is a large island of bays and fjords, rivers and waterfalls as well as green valleys. It is one of the most volcanically active countries in the world. Its capital, Reykjavik, is surrounded by mountains in an area of geothermal hot springs, thus creating a natural central heating system and a pollution-free environment. It is a city which combines old-fashioned wooden architecture with modern buildings. A light entertainment show called 'Light Nights' is held during the tourist season. Some other important cities are Kopavogur, Hafnarfjordur and Akureyri.
Icelandic people are mainly Evangelical Lutheran and their official language is Icelandic. The country has mild, windy winters and damp, cool summers. The country's currency is the Icelandic Krona. National dishes include hangikjot (smoked lamb) and Icelandic sild (herring and salmon).
Some tips to take into account when visiting the country: US driving permits are accepted, the electricity runs on 220 Volts and the country code is 354.
