Geography
Iceland covers a territory of 103,000 km2, with an average altitude of 500 meters. Its highest peak is Hvannadalshnúkur (2119 m). 11% of the country is covered in glaciers and icecaps, including Europe’s largest, Vatnajökull. Straddling the Mid-Atlantic ridge, Iceland is a hotspot of volcanic and geothermal activity: 30 volcanoes from the last ice age erupted over the last two centuries, and the water that provides the population with a clean and cheap source of energy is naturally heated. Much of the power of country’s rivers has also been harnessed to provide cheap hydro-electricity.
