Day 74 Lockdown - Iceland

Iceland

Welcome. Today, we will be looking at some of my facts about Iceland. This is only a part one. Enjoy.

A small size of 103,000 km2 with a population of 364,134, Iceland is one of the most memorable places on earth. The rising and setting sun in the few hours of the day are so beautiful and calming in the cold months. Even though it is so small, Iceland is actually the 2nd largest island in Europe after the UK. Let's find out more.

Natural objects

Hveravellir hot spring.

Iceland is home to some of the roughest terrain on earth with mountains and large hills. Iceland is not home to just the terrain however; there are multiple other natural items that it holds captive that you wouldn't expect to find there. Surprisingly, they even have volcanoes that are active like Mount Hekla that has erupted 18 times since 1104, the last time being in 2000. Another natural item Iceland holds captive in their kingdom of cold are hot springs. Hveravellir is one of the most beautiful hot springs in all of Iceland. Located on a nature reserve that is considered “one of the last great wilderness areas” in all of Europe, this hotspot is speckled with bubbling water holes and smoking fumaroles. The massive landscape is filled with mountains and glaciers that you can even see from the capital Reykjavík.
