The island of Iceland, which lies in the North Atlantic, is famous for its waterfalls

The island of Iceland, which lies in the North Atlantic, is considered the land of water and fire due to its waterfalls, glaciers and volcanoes.

The hot springs with their geysers spitting at intervals of hot water fountains are a unique natural spectacle on this earth.

It is one of the most sparsely populated countries in the world. The majority of the population gathers in the capital Reykjavík, which continues to grow due to the influx.

Iceland lies on a center of volcanic activity, the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and at the plate boundary of the North American and Eurasian plate.

All these natural phenomena combined cause great volcanic and geothermal activity in Iceland. The last major volcanic eruption occurred in 2010 due to the eruption of Eyjafjallajökulls.
