Nature Around

Last in the mini-series of Norse countries with Danish connections is Iceland. I was going to say it's not just volcanoes, but actually it pretty much is. A bleak and barren land with a majesterial beauty of it's own. It's too far north for trees to grow, which is something I'd miss for sure. Iceland is a land being torn in half. At the rift, you can move between two tectonic plates: the Eurasian plate on one side and the North American plate on the other.

Iceland is a European island country located in the North Atlantic Ocean on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. It has a population of about 320,000 and a total area of 103,000 km2 (39,769 sq mi). The capital and largest city is Reykjavík, with the surrounding area being home to some two-thirds of the national population.
