Information about ICELAND Much of Iceland today is still taking shape — raw, dramatic landscapes born from volcanic eruptions and carved out by glaciers. The interior of the island is almost uninhabited, and this brings a wonderful sense of freedom to visitors. Enjoy the very freshest gourmet seafood from the Arctic and Atlantic oceans, take a dip in a geothermically heated pool and take a midnight summers stroll when the warming sun still lights the sky. Icelanders are proud that they still speak the ancient language of the Vikings, but they certainly don"t just live in the past. Their cherished ancient heritage lives on in harmony with the most exciting innovations from the world of arts and culture today. Most of the population live along the coast, so it is not surprising that the economy is heavily reliant on the fishing industry. However, they have been very successful at maintaining the stocks of their exclusive fishing grounds. Icelanders" literacy, longevity, income, and social cohesion are first-rate by world standards.
