This is Iceland

A fascinating and stunning nation.  It’s really a European island country found in the North Atlantic Ocean  around the Mid-Atlantic Ridge.  Iceland is a volcanic island in the North Atlantic Ocean east of Greenland and immediately south of the Arctic Circle.
Iceland is a European island midway between North America and mainland Europe.  It has natural fortress   this could be the place I wanna be.  It is a stunningly beautiful place if you enjoy strange and desolate landscapes.  It has felt the economic impact of the April to May 2010 Eyjafjallajokull volcano eruption.  Iceland has greatly increased its international profile since the early 1990s.

Iceland has received a great number of immigrants over the last 10 years.  It has a relatively modest payroll tax of about 6 percent, technically paid by the employer.  It is a fascinating country of rare and untamed beauty.  It is a country where nature is the supreme ruler.  Iceland was a pioneer in recklessness during the  credit boom.

Iceland can also present a stark scene with almost no trees anywhere.  It was floated on the  London Stock Exchange  in 1984, by which stage it had 81 outlets.  It is closer than you think.  It is one of those travel destinations that most first-time travelers won’t think of visiting.  Iceland is one of the few countries with efficient, property rights–based fisheries management.
Iceland is volcanically and geologically  active on a large scale.  It is surrounded by wide sea so it is somewhat protected from foreign threats….  It has shown how effective this approach can be if it is implemented properly.  It is a land for all seasons and a land for great northern lights holidays.
