About Iceland

Iceland is a country in Northern Europe, one of the 45 countries of Europe on GlobeQuizz. Its full official name is Iceland. In Arabic, the name is written آيسلندا, and the capital ريكيافيك. Its geographic centre lies in the Northern and Western hemispheres.

The capital of Iceland is Reykjavík. Reykjavík lies at about 64° north and 22° west. The official language of Iceland is Icelandic. Its currency is the Icelandic Króna, with the symbol ⁨kr⁩ and the international code ISK.

Iceland covers about 103,000 square kilometres, which puts it 106th by area among the 195 countries on GlobeQuizz. It has no land border with any other country; the sea surrounds its territory on every side. Other countries in Northern Europe include Sweden, Finland, and Norway. Its flag is easy to confuse with the flag of Norway, a classic trap in the Hard level of the flags quiz. To practise flags, capitals and currencies, play the Europe quiz on GlobeQuizz, which mixes Iceland with the other countries of the same region.
