About Me

Iceland is a country like no other. It's knowned by it's awesome nature, beautiful women, fishing, polite people and incredible music.

The population is very little, about 307.000 people live in Iceland. Iceland is very expensive, but altough Iceland is expensive, not many people are poor in Iceland, in fact Iceland is very rich actually.

The capital is Reykjavík, and the only big city in Iceland.

Altough Iceland is not a famous football country, football is a very popular sport in Iceland. But we only have one star footballer tough. But that is Eiður Smári Guðjohnsen (Eidur Gudjohnsen) that is currently playing in Spain for FC Barcelona, but he has also played for the English club Chelsea.

We have very much music live in the country, and you can almost find anything you like here. From bad pop music to hardcore heavymetal, and all there is between.

It was Ingólfur Arnarsson who first lived in Iceland in 874. And to tell a long story short Iceland was from 1262 to 1944 a part of the Norwegian and later the Danish monarchies. So Iceland got independence in 1944.

Our country supports the war of terror, but that does not reflect the nation opinion, if I had to guess I would say that 0,1 % people in Iceland supports the war in Irak. It's a shame for our country.
