Introduce the beautiful country of Iceland.

Iceland is the westernmost country in Europe. It is located in the middle of the North Atlantic Ocean and close to the Arctic Circle. With a glacier area of ??8,000 square kilometers, it is the second largest island in Europe. The coastline is about 4970 kilometers long. 3/4 of the entire territory is a plateau with an altitude of 400-800 meters, of which 1/8 is covered by glaciers. There are more than 100 volcanoes, including more than 30 active volcanoes. Huaynadalshenuk volcano is the highest peak in the country, with an altitude of 2119 meters. Almost the entire country of Iceland is built on volcanic rocks, and most of the land cannot be cultivated. It is the country with the most hot springs in the world, so it is called the land of ice and fire. There are many fountains, waterfalls, lakes and rapid rivers. The largest river, Siyursao River, is 227 kilometers long. There are national parks and nature reserves throughout Iceland, the most spectacular of which are Myvatn Nature Reserve and Tingvellir?kulsárgljufúr (J?kulsárlón), Skaftafell and other national parks. The most famous attraction in Skaftafell National Park is the Svartifoss waterfall; Lake J?kulsárlón in J?kulsárlón National Park is a lake formed at the bottom of a glacier, with a depth of 100 meters. Irish monks first immigrated to Iceland at the end of the 8th century. Norwegians began to immigrate to Iceland in the second half of the 9th century. In 874, Norwegian nobleman Ingolfur Arnarson became the first person to settle in Iceland. In 930 the Icelandic Parliament and the Icelandic Federation were established. In 1000, Christianity was established as the state religion. In 1262, Iceland became a vassal of Norway. In 1380, Iceland and Norway were conquered by Denmark. In 1904, Iceland gained internal autonomy. In 1918, Iceland and Denmark signed a federal law, and Iceland became a sovereign country within the Danish Federation, but foreign affairs were still controlled by Denmark. In 1940, the German army occupied Denmark, and relations between Iceland and Denmark were severed. In the same year, British troops entered Iceland. In 1941, American troops replaced British troops in Ice. On June 16, 1944, the Icelandic Parliament officially announced the dissolution of the Ice Alliance, and on the 17th, the Republic of Iceland was officially established. Physical geography: area is 103,000 square kilometers. It is the westernmost country in Europe, located in the middle of the North Atlantic, close to the Arctic Circle.

The largest river, Siyursao River, is 227 kilometers long. Iceland has a cold temperate maritime climate, which is constantly changing. Due to the influence of the Gulf Stream, it is milder than other places at the same latitude. Daylight is long in summer and very short in winter. Aurora can be seen in autumn and early winter. Brief history: At the end of the 8th century, Irish monks first immigrated to Iceland. In the second half of the 9th century, Norway began to immigrate to Iceland. In 930 AD, the Parliament and the Federation of Iceland were established. In 1262, Iceland and Norway signed an agreement, and Iceland became a subject of Norway. In 1380, Iceland and Norway came under Danish rule. Gained internal autonomy in 1904. In 1918, Denmark signed a federal law, which stipulated that Iceland was a sovereign country, but foreign affairs were still controlled by Denmark. Denmark was occupied by Germany in 1940, and relations between Denmark and Denmark were severed. In the same year, the British troops stationed in Ice, and the following year the US military replaced the British troops stationed in Ice. On June 16, 1944, the Icelandic Parliament officially announced the dissolution of the Ice Alliance, and the Republic of Iceland was established on the 17th. It joined the United Nations in 1946 and became a member of NATO in 1949. Economy: Fishery is the mainstay of the economy, and the industry is dominated by high-energy-consuming industries such as fishery product processing and aluminum smelting. There is a high degree of dependence on foreign trade. It is rich in fishery, water conservancy and geothermal resources, but lacks other natural resources, and products such as petroleum need to be imported. The annual hydroelectric power generation capacity that can be developed is 64 billion kilowatt-hours, and the annual geothermal energy power generation capacity can reach 7.2 billion kilowatt-hours. The industrial base is weak. In addition to light industries such as fishery product processing and knitting, the industry is dominated by high-energy-consuming industries such as aluminum smelting.

Fishery is the pillar industry of Iceland's national economy. The main fish species are capelin, cod and herring. Most of the fishery products are exported, and fishery product exports account for nearly 70% of total merchandise exports. Iceland’s fishing fleet is well-equipped and its fish processing technology is a leader in the world. It is located at a high latitude and has little sunshine. Only a few farms in the south can produce 400 to 500 tons of crops annually. The arable land area is 1,000 square kilometers, accounting for 1% of the country's total area. Animal husbandry plays a major role, and most agricultural land is used as feed pasture. The corresponding woolen textile industry and tanning industry are relatively developed. We are more than self-sufficient in meat, milk, and eggs, and we basically rely on imports of grain, vegetables, and fruits. The output of tomatoes and cucumbers grown in greenhouses can meet 70% of domestic consumption. The service industry occupies an important position in the national economy, including commerce, banking, insurance, and public services. Its output value accounts for about half of the GDP, and the number of employees accounts for more than two-thirds of the total labor force. Since 1980, tourism has been vigorously developed. The main tourist spots include large glaciers, volcanic landforms, geothermal fountains and waterfalls. Iceland's per capita GDP is nearly US$30,000, ranking among the best in the world. The freshness and purity of the air and water there are among the best in the world. The average life expectancy is 82.2 years for women and 78.1 years for men. The entire population is highly educated, and illiteracy was eliminated in Iceland more than 100 years ago. In 1999, Iceland had become the country with the highest mobile phone penetration rate in the world.
