Iceland is a Nordic island country in the North Atlantic
Ocean, with a population of 356,991 and an area of 103,000 km2 (40,000 sq mi), making it the most sparsely populated
country in Europe. The capital and largest city is Reykjavík. Iceland is volcanically and geologically active.
The interior consists of a plateau characterised by sand and lava fields, mountains, and glaciers, and many glacial
rivers flow to the sea through the lowlands. Iceland is warmed by the Gulf Stream and has a temperate climate, despite a
high latitude just outside the Arctic Circle. Its high latitude and marine influence keep summers chilly, with most of
the archipelago having a polar climate.
