What are the scenery in Iceland?

Iceland! It sounds like this is an unusually cold place. To say it's far away is a good idea. You may not be able to find the country in the northwest corner of the world on a simpler European map (subject to the world map of China). To say that it is cold is a bit of a misnomer. Calling it "Ice and Fire Island" may be more appropriate. .

Iceland is the second largest island in Europe. If you search every corner of the earth, you will not find another country with such ever-changing natural landscapes. The great power of nature in Iceland is gentle, rough, magnificent, strange, weird, illusory, even cruel, and helpless.

The climate in Iceland is constantly changing. There is a famous joke: "If you don't like the weather in Iceland at this time, please wait for 5 minutes. It may be even worse than it is now." Due to the high terrain of Iceland, half of the land is dominated by plateaus above 400 meters, so rainfall is extremely high. There is no mainland around the island, so the wind blows very hard on the island. This is probably the reason why there are few trees on the island. Icelanders are proud of three treasures: fish, geothermal heat and Icelandic horses. The North Atlantic warm current and the Icelandic cold current meet here, making Iceland one of the largest fishing grounds in the world, and fishery resources have become the lifeline of Iceland; geothermal heat is the only way for Icelanders to stay warm. Since there is no need to burn coal, Iceland's already beautiful buildings are spotless. This has become the cleanest country in the world. Speaking of Icelandic ponies, people who like horses regard this kind of docile horse that knows five gaits as a treasure.

Iceland is one of the countries with the longest average life expectancy in the world. In the struggle with nature, the Icelanders have developed a very strong body and have cultivated a spirit of contentment and long-term happiness without complaining about nature. With their optimistic spirit, it’s no wonder Icelanders are recognized as the happiest people in the world! When traveling to Iceland, summer is the most beautiful. You can use the capital Reykjavik, the cleanest compact city in the world, as your base camp.
