General information
A sparsely-populated North Atlantic island. Iceland is famous for its hot springs, geysers and active volcanoes. Lava fields cover much of the land and hot water is pumped from underground to supply much of the country's heating.
Iceland remains outside the EU, but, although it has no armed forces, it became a member of NATO. In 1985 it declared itself a nuclear free zone.
Iceland enjoys a standard of living amongst the highest in the world, largely due to it's fishing industries. However more recently the economy is developing in new areas, not least tourism.
