Iceland - Hoptale's Destination Guide

Iceland (Icelandic: Ísland) is a mountainous island nation in the north Atlantic Ocean, located between Europe and North America. Though not part of the continental mainland, the country is considered Nordic European. The name of the country—Iceland—may not be that appropriate: although 10% of Iceland is covered by glaciers, it has a surprisingly mild climate and countless geothermal hot-spots and hot springs. The native spelling ("Ísland") is appropriate in English as well. Tipping isn't done in Iceland and driving off-road is illegal and destroys the nature. (Iceland Wikitravel)
