 What life in Iceland looks like?

We all know that Iceland is famous for its beautiful and absolutely breathtaking views. But how the life in Iceland really looks like?

Icelandic society is consider as one of the most happiest countries in the world! So how come Icelandic people are so happy when the winters are long, dark and have extreme weather? Well, the country is small, 2/3 of the population live in Reykjavik, which is consider as one of the most cleanest, safest and eco-friendly cities in the world. 
Iceland is one of the country with the lowest murder rate with 1 per every 100,000 people! People living in Iceland are trustful and are known to send their young children to school by themselves. 
The country is a parliamentary republic which has a system that provides free education through collage, health care and nine months of paid parental leave for mothers and fathers. Most Icelanders are well-educated, employed and healthy which is confirmed by the fact that an average Icelander lives for about 83 years and the unemployment rate is just 5%!
Iceland is also known for its national pastime which is reading and writing. Iceland publishes and translates more books than every other country. It is also said that every 1 of 10 Icelanders will publish a book!
The most popular activities are ice climbing, kayaking and going to the gym but one of the most important symbol of Icelands health and happiness are huge public pools called sundlaugar. Families, teenagers and seniors are coming to lounge in them almost every day!

Living in Iceland truly sounds like living in a dream...

Polacy na Islandii: Wracasz po zmianie i padasz. Ciasno, brudno, nie ma znaczenia. Byle dało się zasłonić okno i zrobić noc

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!
