But a shocking discovery made a difference, showing that an entire civilization did not only live but that all we had been told about the region's geography might be wrong. What has been discovered? How does it change everything we all knew? Keep watching to find out.
Recently, the world's focus has been zooming in on Iceland for many mind-blowing reasons, and it will amaze you what the latest discovery brings to the table. In case you didn't know, Iceland is an island country in the North Atlantic Ocean. It gracefully sits between Europe and North America, just south of the Arctic Circle. Only a few people know this, but there are many amazing facts about the land that has become famously known as the land of fire and ice. As it stands, Iceland is the second-largest island in Europe after Great Britain and the 18th-largest island in the world, but that is not all. The country has a total area of 103,000 square kilometers, equivalent to about 39,817 square miles, of which about 11% of the land is covered by glaciers. Iceland's coastline is approximately 4,828 kilometers long, equal to 3,000 miles.
Interestingly, Iceland is famous for its dramatic landscapes, spanning volcanoes, glaciers, geysers, waterfalls, and black sand beaches, which validate its name as the land of fire and ice. However, Iceland is a geologically young country, formed by volcanic activity over millions of years. It sits atop the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, a divergent plate boundary where the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates pull apart. This active volcanic belt has resulted in numerous operational and dormant volcanoes shaping the island's topography.
