Capital: Reykjavik
Population: 329.100
Area: 103,000 km˛
Language: Icelandic
Brief Description:
Iceland is an island nation located in Northern Europe between
the Greenland Sea and the Northern Atlantic Ocean. It is a
country of fire and ice as nowhere else can you find such
extraordinary nature. It is volcanically and geologically active
with hot springs, geysers, and icefields.
Fun fact:
Since Iceland is situated just below the Arctic Circle, the
summer nights are bright with 24-hour daylight from mid-May to
late July.
Reasons to visit: Iceland exists because of volcanic eruptions,
and there are still numerous active volcanoes surrounding the
country. Its spectacular natural landscapes make it the perfect
choice for adventure seeking tourists.
Points of interest:
1. Northern Lights

Brief Information:
Northern Lights or else Aurora Borealis, is a beautiful sight in
the sky at night. These lights are said to be caused when the
upper section of the atmosphere is struck by supercharged
electrons caused by the solar wind. They are usually seen on the
Jokulsarlon lagoon located in South Iceland.
2. Blue Lagoon

Brief Information:
The Blue Lagoon is a geothermal spa in southwestern Iceland.
This spa is located in a lava field near Grindavík on the
Reykjanes Peninsula, in a location favourable for geothermal
power, and is supplied by water used in the nearby Svartsengi
geothermal power station. The Blue Lagoon is one of the most
visited attractions in Iceland.
3. Kerid Crater Lake

Brief Information:
Located in southern Iceland along the so-called Golden Circle,
Kerid is unique among crater lakes in that its caldera likely
didn’t form from an explosion as most do. The Kerid volcano is
thought to have formed when the magma in the center simply
depleted itself, and the empty chamber beneath caved in.
Regardless of the geological minutia that led to the lake’s
creation, its bright rainbow of colors look unearthly.
Iceland a nature based country. Its spectacular natural
landscapes make it the perfect choice for adventure seeking
tourists.
