Iceland is a Nordic island country in the North Atlantic, with a population of 360,390 and an area of 103,000 km2 , making it the most sparsely populated country in Europe.The capital and largest city is Reykjavà Â Â­k, with Reykjavà Â Â­k and the surrounding areas in the southwest of the country being home to over two-thirds of the population. Iceland is volcanically and geologically active. The interior consists of a plateau characterised by sand and lava fields, mountains, and glaciers, and many glacial rivers flow to the sea through the lowlands. Iceland is warmed by the Gulf Stream and has a temperate climate, despite a high latitude almost entirely outside the Arctic Circle. Its high latitude and marine influence keep summers chilly, with most of the archipelago having a tundra climate.
