Iceland is a melting pot of natural phenomenon’s all in close proximity to one another. It is home to Europe’s most powerful waterfall and geyser as well as Europe’s biggest glacier and desert, a black volcanic one at that. Iceland sits on the Eurasian and North American tectonic plate rift making it geographically part of North America and Europe with some territories even above the artic circle. Sitting on the rift makes Iceland highly volcanic with Europe most active volcano Hekla going off every 10 years. It is also full of geothermal areas with hot water bubbling out of the ground and Icelanders have been taking advantage of having an endless amount of hot water since people started first living there. It is a land of extremes from 24 hours of light in the summer to only 4 hours in the winter with Northern lights dance across the sky.
The people of Iceland have not only learned to live on the island in its 1200 year history but they are thriving. Icelanders have built up a safe and inviting community and it is with much pride that they welcome people to come and uncover Iceland.
