 The best things about living in Iceland


The previous post I wrote about the worst things in Iceland. Well, now is the time to bring back its great opinion!

The first nice thing about Iceland is its water. For people that drink juices it may not be great but for those who hate any kinds on soda, it may be something really cool! The water in Iceland is considered as one of the cleanest and purest water all over the world. You don’t have to buy water in bottles, you just drink it from the sink which is really good for the environment.

The next but really obvious thing is of course nature. Whenever you want to see some breathtaking and just amazing views, you can just grab your car and go for a trip!

The unemployment and homelessness rate in Iceland is really close to 2% which is just incredible! You actually never see any beggar on the street but if you do, it is really very, very rare. Iceland also does not have any animals shelters. Instead you can find some ,katholts, which are centers for wild and abandoned cats. There are no dog shelters, because Iceland does not have any homeless dogs!

During the summer, the sun shines around 20 hours a day. It raises at around 5 am and sets around 3 am. So the sun shines the whole day. However in winter, the sun shines much less.

Icelandic people are really happy with their president. They respect him both as a person and of course as a president.

The education system (especially universities) is really good and respected. You don’t have to pay millions of dollars to get education as it is in for example in USA. Icelandic people are really grateful for that.

    Iceland is also at the top of the list in terms of women's rights - equal pay, participation in politics and public life, etc.
    By the way, the sun RISES at 5 p.m.

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$. But the country is so expensive because the minimal pay in Iceland is much higher than in Europe or in the States. The weather in Iceland may be really extrem

 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!
