Iceland Holidays
Iceland Holidays ? Why not have a vacation or holiday in the super island nation of Iceland. It can be a super place to have a vacation or holiday. You may want to see the beaches, volcanoes, the cities, the culture, the towns.
A
geologically young land, Iceland is located on both the Iceland hotspot and the
Mid Atlantic Ridge, which runs right through it. This combined location means
that geologically the island is extremely active, having many volcanoes, notably
Hekla, Eldgjá, Herðubreið and Eldfell. The volcanic eruption of
Laki in 1783–1784 caused a famine that killed nearly a quarter of the island's
population; the eruption caused dust clouds and haze to appear over most of Europe
and parts of Asia and Africa for several months after the eruption.
The climate
of Iceland's coast is subpolar oceanic. The warm North Atlantic Current ensures
generally higher annual temperatures than in most places of similar latitude in
the world. The winters are mild and windy while the summers are damp and cool.
Regions in the world with similar climate include the Aleutian Islands, Alaska
Peninsula and Tierra del Fuego although these regions are closer to the equator.
Keflavík International Airport (Icelandic: Keflavíkurflugvöllur) is the largest airport in Iceland and the country’s main hub for international transportation. It is situated near the town of Keflavík, about 50 km from Reykjavík.
Iceland's best-known classical works of literature are the Icelanders' sagas, prose epics set in Iceland's age of settlement. The most famous of these include Njáls saga, about an epic blood feud, and Grœnlendinga saga and Eiríks saga, describing the discovery and settlement of Greenland and Vinland (modern Newfoundland). Egils saga, Laxdæla saga, Grettis saga, Gísla saga and Gunnlaugs saga ormstungu are also notable and popular Icelanders' sagas.
