Iceland is a showcase of pure nature, of majestic landscapes untouched by man, and of the forces that are still shaping the country before our very eyes. The youngest country in Europe and the last to be settled by man, a land born out of the sea, Iceland is an endless realm of magical contrasts: active volcanoes and creeping glaciers, not springs and raging waterfalls, black deserts and spectacular mountains.

On their harsh but beautiful island home in the far north, the Icelanders have built a modern society where the ancient heritage of their Viking forefathers is kept alive, and live in respectful harmony with a world of nature unmatched on Earth.
