Iceland at AllExperts (2795 words)
Iceland, officially the Republic of Iceland (Icelandic: Ísland or Lýðveldið Ísland IPA:) is a volcanic island nation in the northern Atlantic Ocean between Greenland, Norway, Ireland, the United Kingdom, and the Faroe Islands.
Iceland was one of the last large islands uninhabited by humans until it was discovered and settled by immigrants from Scandinavia, Ireland and Scotland during the 9th and 10th centuries.
Icelanders enjoy freedom of religion as stated by the constitution; however, church and state are not separated and the National Church of Iceland, a Lutheran body, is the state church.
