Iceland (1153 words) |
 | Iceland was first settled by Norwegianss and Celtic (Scottish and Irish) immigrants during the late 9th and 10th century. |
| Iceland remained independent for over 300 years, and was subsequently ruled by Norway and Denmark, formally as a Norwegian crown colony until 1814 when the united kingdoms of Denmark and Norway were separated by the treaty of Kiel, and Iceland was kept by Denmark as a dependency. |
| Iceland has many geysers (itself an Icelandic word) and the widespread availability of geothermal power means residents of most towns have hot water and home heat for a low price. |
