Iceland is located in Northern Europe and its main characteristic is to be an island far enough away from the rest of Europe and characterized by strong temperature differences due to the presence of glaciers and geothermal heat sources that define its conformation and also its habitability. It is no coincidence that Iceland will always be referred as a "land of ice and fire" to indicate precisely those elements. Although Iceland is second in size only to Britain, practically only its capital Reykjavik is inhabited.
