This remote, northerly island; an independent democratic republic with a short but colourful history. Tiny but modern society with troubled economy and recently devalued currency, which has made Iceland a affordable tourist destination. With own language and rich cultural heritage, especially in literature. And an absolutely unique nature, land of ice and fire. Active volcanos, spouting geysirs, extensive lava fields and deserts, rumbling rivers and waterfalls, mountains and glaciers. Midnight sun in the summertime and northern lights in winter.
