iceland

       Iceland is a small country between the North Pacific and Arctic Ocean which was inhabited by Vikings. The Vikings also found Greenland. Houses there were small with grass on the roof acting as an ancient air conditioner. Around 1402-1404 the Black Death swept through Iceland. This was a horrible disease that killed over 200 Million! Iceland lost 60% of its population. Iceland wasn't the best place to live because of its temperatures and lack of trees. The grass wasn't that good for sheep. Iceland is the worlds 18th largest island. Iceland is 3 times the size of the US state South Carolina. The island has many volcanoes and many geysers. It holds the record for country with oldest Geyser! The Arctic fox is the only indigenous land mammal in Iceland and was the only land mammal prior to the arrival of humans. It was ruled by Norway and Denmark. They have Nordic customs I think. You can sometimes find polar bears who swam on an iceberg to get there! Iceland has a population of 332,529 and an area of 103,000 km. That's not too much.
