The worst things about living in Iceland

The worst things about living in Iceland  We all know that Iceland is a country of beautiful nature and breathtaking views but we may find some flaws. Iceland is an island so the transport is limited either with the food or with basic use products. You can have huge problems with ordering and buying stuff on the internet. The delivery takes a really long time and it is also really expensive! And to top it all, when picking up the package from the post, you have to pay half the price of the package, so for example when you buy some clothes for 150$ so you will have to pay 75$ to the post. Everything in Iceland is really expensive. All of your money can go just for the gaz to your car! You can realize that for example when a good pair of leggings costs 50$ in the USA (which is still expensive), in Iceland it may cost at least 100$.

 5 most interesting volcanoes in Iceland We all know that Iceland is mostly popular because of many dormant and active volcanoes. Today I would like to present couple of the most interesting in my opinion. The first one is Krafla . It lays in the north Iceland and it is surrounded by steaming vents boiling mud pools and bubbling hot springs which create unique views. Although the volcano is frequently active, it is a home to a coldwater lake that has a beautiful emerald color. The next volcano I find really interesting is the Oarefajokull volcano. Its is located on the southeastern coast of Iceland. What makes it so unique and beautiful, you may ask. Well, the volcano is covered in a blindingly bright white glacier. From the top of the volcano you are able to see the coastal cliffs and the famous Black Sand Beach! The next really beautiful volcano is the Askja volcano. You can reach it only by traversing Odadahraun-the largest lava field and volcanic desert in Iceland! Not only the jo

It was discovered accidentally by the Vikings about 1,100 years ago. Another interesting and unknown thing about Iceland is that many of its citizens believe in trolls and elves! All the fairytales have begun at the time of the Vikings and were passed down from generation to generation till nowadays The next fact surely will make happy all the environmentalists. Iceland is one of the most eco-friendly country in the world!
