What to know about Iceland

Iceland is a volcanic island nation in the North Atlantic where glaciers, geysers, waterfalls, and lava fields create some of the most dramatic landscapes on Earth. The country sits on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, which means the land itself is constantly being shaped by tectonic and volcanic forces. With a population of just 380,000 - two-thirds of whom live in the greater Reykjavik area - Iceland offers vast empty spaces, geothermal hot springs around every corner, and wildlife ranging from Arctic foxes to humpback whales. The Ring Road (Route 1) circuits the entire island in 1,322 km, making it one of the world's great road trips.
