TRAVEL & TEACH ENGLISH IN ICELAND
Iceland, a Nordic island nation located in the North Atlantic Ocean, is a geological wonderland. It is situated on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates meet, resulting in a landscape shaped by volcanic activity and geothermal features. Glaciers, including Vatnajökull, Europe's largest, cover approximately 11% of the island. The interior is a rugged plateau with active volcanoes, vast lava fields, and geothermal areas with geysers and hot springs. The coastline is indented with fjords and dramatic cliffs, while black sand beaches and sea stacks add to its stark beauty. Despite its northern location, Iceland's climate is moderated by the Gulf Stream, resulting in relatively mild winters and cool summers.
