Iceland, a Nordic nation, is an island characterized by spectacular landscapes with volcanoes, geysers, spas and lava fields. The national parks of Vatnajökull and Snæfellsjökull protect massive glaciers. Most of the population lives in the capital, Reykjavík, which is powered by geothermal energy. Reykjavík is home to the National Museum of Iceland and the Saga Museum, which trace the island’s Viking past.
