Iceland has a population of about 390,000, with Icelandic as the official language and English widely spoken. Its currency is the Icelandic Króna (ISK), and the climate is subarctic oceanic, with cool summers, mild winters, and frequent shifts between sun, wind, and rain.
Visitors are drawn to Iceland for its dramatic landscapes and deep sense of connection to nature. You can explore Reykjavik’s colorful streets and lively art scene, soak in the Blue Lagoon or natural hot springs in Myvatn, hike glaciers and volcanoes in Vatnajökull National Park, or witness the northern lights and midnight sun that transform the skies. The Golden Circle route reveals geysers, waterfalls, and rift valleys that showcase Iceland’s volcanic energy. Icelandic cuisine draws from the land and sea, featuring lamb, cod, skyr, and rye bread baked in geothermal heat. The population is small but deeply tied to storytelling, music, and Norse heritage, celebrated through sagas, folk songs, and modern art that reflect resilience and creativity shaped by the island’s isolation.
