Reykjavik The Capital

The Republic of Iceland is home to the world ’s

northern-most capital city, Reykjavík, and This natural landscape makes you may be affected by strangely. Iceland has an area of a little over 38,600mi2 (100,000km2) and a population of approximately 310,000 people. 

Although the country ’s government strongly encourages decentralization, the population is

concentrated in the capital. Iceland is built upon a strong tradition of self-sufficiency,  but it is also extremely international in outlook. The economy is strongly connected to

natural resources in various ways either through thermal and hydroelectric energy or via

its fishing industry. The country is not a member of the EU, primarily because it wishes

to maintain control of its fisheries, and the currency is the Icelandic Króna. However,

some debate exists over whether the euro could be adopted without joining the EU.

Rural areas with grasslands do still produce niche products such as lamb and mutton, and milk products. But we find tourism quite high in rural areas, More importantly, for fishing, And wild walking (about 13 percent of the country is glaciated while the country has an extensive set of volcanic features), and horseriding on Icelandic ponies – an activity geared to American and European tourists.

The volcanism for which the country is famous has also generated another set of tourist attractions in the form of hot springs. It is also possible to undertake a leisurely

drive around Iceland on the country ’s ring road (Route 1), which is just under 1870

miles (1,400km) long. This journey has long been popular with domestic tourists but

is also increasingly attractive to international arrivals.

Reykjavik near the capital is the international gateway, while its trans-Atlantic position has also made it a stopover point and a weekend getaway destination from both

New York and London. Reykjavík has the reputation of being one of the world ’s best

clubbing destinations but also has a number of cultural institutions and provides easy

access to Iceland ’s natural landscape.
