Country List World Factbook Home The World Factbook Iceland Introduction Iceland Background: Settled by Norwegian and Celtic (Scottish and Irish) immigrants during the late 9th and 10th centuries A.D., Iceland boasts the world's oldest functioning legislative assembly, the Althing, established in 930. Independent for over 300 years, Iceland was subsequently ruled by Norway and Denmark. Fallout from the Askja volcano of 1875 devastated the Icelandic economy and caused widespread famine. Over the next quarter century, 20% of the island's population emigrated, mostly to Canada and the US. Limited home rule from Denmark was granted in 1874 and complete independence attained in 1944. Literacy, longevity, income, and social cohesion are first-rate by world standards.

It is bound by the Greenland Sea to the north, the Norwegian Sea to the east, the Strait of Denmark to the northwest and the Atlantic Ocean to the southwest. The country is a volcanic island of basaltic lava flows and tuffs. Almost 80% of the land area consists of glacial lakes or mountainous lava deserts and there are a number of active volcanoes and geysers or hot springs. The coastline is heavily indented with many fjords that lead into broad and high ridges. In addition there are several large snow fields and glaciers including the Langjokull, Myrdalsjokull, Hofsjokull and Vatnajokull. Major Cities (pop. est.); Reykjavik 103,000, Kopavogur 17,400, Hafnarfjordhur 17,200, Akureyri 15,000, Sudhurnesjabar 10,300 (1994).

Ampleforth College Geography Society Geography Department Home Page Iceland 2004 Parents of geography students who will be in years 11 or 12 in summer 2004 should contact Mr Sugden for further details Why has Iceland got such a varied and beautiful landscape, with so much ‘geography’ to see? Iceland is the second largest island in the North-Atlantic ocean, and is the most prominent feature of the mid-atlantic ridge, created by the moving apart of two oceanic plates. This separation of plates causes the asthenosphere to swell, and magma rises to the suface, cools, and builds up over millions of years to create a submarine mountain range along the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. Iceland is the only place where this ridge is exposed above sea level and results in a geologically restless island famous for its volcanic eruptions, earthquakes and the associated landforms. Iceland is unique. It is a large country (103,000 km², about the same surface area as Ireland or the State of Virginia), but is sparsely populated, with only 3 persons per km² living mostly along the coast. The interior of the country contains stunning contrasts. It is largely an arctic desert, punctuated with mountains, glaciers, volcanoes and waterfalls. Most of the vegetation and agricultural areas are in the lowlands close to the coastline.
