Iceland, the natural wonder of the world

Iceland, the natural wonder of the world

Iceland is the westernmost country in Europe, located in the middle of the North Atlantic, near the Arctic Circle, with an area of 6,543,800 square kilometers and a glacier area of 8,000 square kilometers, making it the second largest island in Europe.

In English translation, it is a frozen soil and is called the end of the world. It is a country with a population of only over 300,000, and it is also the country with the highest happiness in the world that everyone often mentions.

Iceland's coastline is about 4,970 kilometers long, and 3/4 of the whole 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 20 active volcanoes. Nuuk volcano in Huana Darce is the highest peak in China, with an altitude of 2 1 19 meters.

Almost the whole country of Iceland is built on volcanic rocks, which is the country with the most hot springs in the world, so it is called the country of ice and fire.

Iceland originally belonged to a cold temperate maritime climate, because it was influenced by the warm current of the North Atlantic Ocean, and it was milder than other places in the same latitude. The sunshine time is long in summer and extremely short in winter. Aurora can be seen in autumn and early winter. Iceland is an ideal place for most adventure lovers. 80% of volcanic islands are mixed with glaciers, lakes and cave lava, which are overgrown with weeds and seem to never go out.
