Summary
[edit]DescriptionAbout Iceland (5878132972).jpg |
Iceland is a meeting place of the forces of nature which conjure up contrasts with a variety and ingenuity that almost defy belief. Active volcanoes and boiling geothermal springs coexist side by side with glaciers and dramatic eruptions even burst forth from beneath the surface of Europe’s largest ice cap. By far the youngest country in Europe from geological perspective, Iceland is literally split down the middle on tectonic plates, one moving towards Europe, the other towards North America, at a centimetre or two a year. An apt setting for the ocean outpost where Vikings would bring their ancient tongue which is still spoken hardly changed today. Iceland was also a stepping-stone to the New World, the starting place for the Viking settlement of Greenland and birthplace of Leif the Lucky, who in the year 1000 became the first European to set foot in North America |
