Iceland, a Nordic Island Nation between the North Atlantic and Arctic Oceans, has a scenic landscape dotted with geysers, volcanoes, hot springs, and lava fields. Since Iceland is located in the rift between the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates, frequent volcanic eruptions occur. One can see massive glaciers at Vatnajökull and Snæfellsjökull national parks. Most of Iceland's population lives in the capital, Reykjavik. Iceland is known as the land of fire and Ice. Iceland's economy depends mainly on the fishing industry; about 20% of its export earnings are from it. Manufacturing and service industries also contribute to its economy. The tourism sector is also expanding, and 1.7 million international tourists will visit Iceland in 2022. Most inhabitants of Iceland have access to inexpensive hot water, heating, and electricity due to abundance of geothermal power and hydroelectricity by the harnessing of many rivers and waterfalls. They contribute to 85% of the total energy requirement. This book provides information on Transportation in Iceland, like public transport, road transport and air services.
