Wikipedia portal for content related to Iceland
Iceland (Icelandic : Ísland , pronounced [ˈistlant] ⓘ ) is a Nordic island country between the North Atlantic and Arctic Oceans , on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge between North America and Europe . It is linked culturally and politically with Europe and is the region's most sparsely populated country . Its capital and largest city is Reykjavík , which is home to about 36% of the country's roughly 380,000 residents. The official language of the country is Icelandic .
Located on a rift between tectonic plates , Iceland's geologic activity includes geysers and frequent volcanic eruptions . The interior consists of a volcanic plateau characterised by sand and lava fields , mountains , and glaciers , and many glacial rivers flow to the sea through the lowlands . Iceland is warmed by the Gulf Stream and has a temperate climate, despite a latitude just south of the Arctic Circle . Its high latitude and marine influence keep summers chilly, and most of its islands have a polar climate .
According to the ancient manuscript Landnámabók , the settlement of Iceland began in 874 AD when the Norwegian chieftain Ingólfr Arnarson became the first permanent settler on the island. In the following centuries, Norwegians , and to a lesser extent other Scandinavians , immigrated to Iceland, bringing with them thralls (i.e., slaves or serfs) of Gaelic origin. (Full article... )

I could not help observing with interest the mineralogical curiosities which lay about me as in a vast museum, and I constructed for myself a complete geological account of Iceland, [a] most curious island.
The following are images from various Iceland-related articles on Wikipedia.
Mývatn, edged with pseudocraters, looking northeast
By repeated explosions in a number of locations, groups of
craters have built up and now dominate the landscape on the shore of
Lake Mývatn and also form some of the islands in the lake.
