Iceland

Iceland is an island in the North Atlantic where fire and ice meet. It sits on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, with geysers, blue hot springs, and volcanoes. Glaciers cover the interior, and waterfalls such as Gullfoss and Skogafoss drop from cliffs. The Golden Circle passes geysers, waterfalls, and the rift where continents pull apart.

In winter, northern lights shimmer green, purple, and pink. In summer, the midnight sun can last nearly all day. People swim in hot springs even in freezing weather, and Viking stories are still told. Geothermal energy helps power homes.
