Iceland is unique in many ways – nature, scenery, geology, history and people. The weather can change in 5 minutes. You can see waterfalls, hot springs and glaciers in one day. There are not many places on earth that offer such variety. We would like to introduce you with some interesting facts about Iceland. Lets start with vulcanos.
There is no other place on earth that has so much vuclanic activity going on as in Iceland. In the last millenium, one third of all magma that has come from vulcanos on dry land came from Iceland.
The largest lava flow since ice age was in Iceland. Þjórárhraun came from erruption 8500 years ago and was 950 km2 long and approx. 30km2 wide.

When traveling around Iceland, you will probably notice the Icelandic horse, wherever you go. The small horse might look wild, but it is known for being very friendly, it is also believed to be one of purest horse breeds in the world. So what is Icelandic horse and why is he so unique? Here will be answers for those questions.
This small horse (average 135cm) came to Iceland when first viking settlers sailed to Iceland around year 800. Even though it is not a big horse, it is very strong, can carry a full-grown man and has adapted to Icelandic weather conditions very well. Most of the time horses spend outside, and during the winter time they grow very thick coat to protect themselves from the cold and strong winds. Icelanders are very proud of their horse, and it is not recommended to talk bad about their horses in front of them. Even they are in size of ponies, they are not called Icelandic pony.

Iceland is a unique country – and what makes Iceland so special – it´s geological characteristics. In one country you can see glaciers, mountains, vulcanos, geysirs, waterfalls and Mid-Atlantic Rift on land. How come?
Iceland is built up with the same material as the ocean bottom (tertiary basalt formation). The country is geologically an unusually thick (20km-40km) ocean crust. Iceland is located where two tectonic plates meet – North American and Eurasian plates. This is the main reason why Iceland has had so many active vulcanos. There are few places in Iceland where you can see Mid-Atlantic Rift on land, but most popular would be Thingvellir National Park.

Even though Iceland´s national bird is gyrfalcon, Atlantic puffin is probably most popular that catches tourist´s eye. So, little bit about this bird, that can be seen in Iceland from April until September.
Atlantic puffin (Icelandic: Lundi, Latin: Fratercula Arctica) is a small bird (around 30cm and weights 500-600gr) is most popular bird in Iceland. In autumn around 8 to 10 millions puffins are in Iceland. Which means around half of all Atlantic puffin population is located in Iceland for few months. The Vestman Islands in south of Iceland is has the biggest population of puffins on whole world. Puffins live near the see and their main food is sand eels and capelins. Puffins are known for their diving skills, and when watching them dive, it looks like they are flying under the water.
