Geography Iceland is 103,000 square kilometers in area of which 11.5 percent is covered by glaciers. It contains the largest glacier in Europe, Vatnajökull. Vatnajökull reaches a thickness of 1,000 meters at its thickest point. In recent years, many of the glaciers have been retreating.
Iceland is a geologically young country with many active volcanoes, and earthquakes are common. For example, Surtsey Island in the south part of the country was bom just a few decades ago from an undersea volcanic eruption. The country has a very small amount of wood and trees. In recent years, Icelanders have put a great deal of effort into planting new trees.
