What is unique about Iceland?
Iceland is known the world over as the land of ice and fire. As well as containing a multitude of glaciers and snow-peaked mountains, volcanoes are also dotted around the island. What makes this volcano unique is the fact that you can actually go inside the magma chamber!
How was Iceland formed?
Iceland formed by the coincidence of the spreading boundary of the North American and Eurasian plates and a hotspot or mantle plume – an upsurge of abnormally hot rock in the Earth´s mantle. As the plates moved apart, excessive eruptions of lava constructed volcanoes and filled rift valleys.
Why is Iceland so special?
Iceland is a place of surreal beauty. The incredible landscape of the island is staggering. Most of the country is an uninhabited moonscape of craters, bright green moss, towering glaciers, volcanoes, hot springs, and fields of lava rock. It is so other-worldly that it is often the backdrop in sci-fi films.
Why are there no ants in Iceland?
Ghost ants are one of the species found in Iceland. Ant colonies are usually destroyed but if possible they try to take the whole colony for further study. Marco says that the ants are invasive in Iceland and therefore do not belong here, so he destroys the colonies with a clear conscience.
How clean is the air in Iceland?
In general, air quality is good in Iceland and the main concern is particulate matter, nitrogen dioxide and lately H2S. The country is sparsely populated. In January 2009, the number of inhabitants was 319 000, and the area is 103 000 km2.
Is it true there are no mosquitoes in Iceland?
Iceland is one of the few habitable places on the planet that is mosquito-free, and nobody really seems to know why. It’s not nearly as cold as Antarctica, which is so frigid that mosquitoes (and people, for that matter) could never survive exposure to the elements there for long.
