Often dubbed 'a land of fire and ice', one can see why this is such a fitting name for Iceland, a country right on top of the boundary between two tectonic plates. The movement of these plates is oftentimes visible on the country's surface; geysers, volcanoes and rifts where the country is literally torn apart are the most prominent scars. Quite contrary to what it's name might suggest, it doesn't get as cold in Iceland as most countries on the same latitude. But with the Vatnajökull glacier being Europe's largest ice cap, there's ice in abundance in this country of rugged, wild landscapes and extreme environments.
