Iceland is the westernmost country in Europe. It is located in the middle of the North Atlantic Ocean, close to the Arctic Circle. The area of glaciers is 8,000 square kilometers, making it the second largest island in Europe. 3/4 of the whole territory is a plateau with an altitude of 400-800 meters, of which 1/8 is covered by glaciers. There are more than 100 volcanoes, including more than 30 active volcanoes. Warner Darwins is the highest peak in the country and is 2,119 meters above sea level. Almost all the countries in Iceland are built on volcanic rocks. Most of the land cannot be reclaimed. It is the country with the most hot springs in the world. It is rich in geothermal resources, so it is called the country of ice and fire. There are many fountains, waterfalls, lakes and rushing rivers. The largest river, the Siyur Sao River, is 227 kilometers long. The whole of Iceland is dotted with national parks and nature reserves, the most spectacular of which are the Myvatn Nature Reserve and national parks such as Tingvellir, Jiegu Salon and Skaftafell. The most famous attraction of the Skafath National Park is the Svartifoss waterfall; the Jakusha Lake in the Jeju Salon National Park is a lake formed at the bottom of the glaciers, up to 100 meters deep.
