Iceland Iceland is a mesmerizing country famous for its nature, beautiful scenery, and diverse and breathtaking landscapes. It is a unique country which I put on my bucket list once we can freely travel one day. First discovered by the Vikings, the island was covered with glaciers and it was given this name, meaning ice country. But Iceland is much more than ice and glaciers. Iceland is a small, island country in the middle of Northern Atlantic Ocean, touching the Arctic circle, and originated from a volcano eruption a long time ago. It is situated in Northern Europe and as an island, it has no neighboring countries. The nearest neighbor is Greenland. Norway and Scotland are a bit far. Iceland is the second largest island in Europe and in size, is about the same as the state of Kentucky, USA. It may sound cold, but Iceland has a moderate climate and there are four seasons. Warm waters coming from Gulf Stream (a strong ocean current that brings warm water from the Gulf of Mexico into the Atlantic Ocean) make summers pleasant and winters cold but tolerable. The weather in Iceland is known to change very quickly and unpredictably and to be incredibly windy. Can you imagine that Icelandic language has more than 100 words to talk about wind? But as one Icelander’s saying goes,
“There is no such thing as bad weather, just bad clothing.”
