Iceland is traditionally divided into 23 counties, sýslur, and 25 independent towns, kaupstaðir as you can see in Iceland map. Today this division is no longer significant as far as administration is concerned. Iceland is now split up between 26 sýslumenn (magistrates) that are the highest authority over the local police (except in Reykjavík where there is a special office of police commissioner) and carry out administrative functions such as declaring bankruptcy and marrying people outside of the church. The jurisdictions of these magistrates often follow the lines of the traditional counties but not always. When speaking of these new "administrative" counties the custom is to associate them with the county seats rather than using the names of the traditional counties, even when they cover the same area.

The modes of transport in Iceland are governed by the country rugged terrain and sparse population. The principal mode of personal transport is the car. There are no public railways — although there are bus services as its shown in Iceland map. Transport from one major town to another, for example Reykjavík to Akureyri, may be by aeroplane on a domestic flight. The only way of getting in and out of the country is by air and sea. The country population is largely concentrated in the southwestern corner of the country, the Greater Reykjavík Area is home to two thirds of the population, and so is much of the country transport infrastructure.

Iceland closest relations are with Norway and other Nordic states and the US. Iceland also hosted the historic 1986 Reagan-Gorbachev summit in Reykjavík, which set the stage for the end of the Cold War. Iceland principal historical international disputes involved disagreements over fishing rights. Conflict with the United Kingdom led to the so-called Cod Wars in 1952–56 because of the extension of the fishing zone from 3 to 4 nautical miles (6 to 7 km), 1958–61 because of extending the fishing zone to 12 nautical miles (22 km) in 1972–73 because of its further extension to 50 nautical miles (93 km) and in 1975–76 because of its extension to 200 nautical miles (370 km) as its mentioned in Iceland map. Disagreements with Norway and Russia over fishing rights in the Barents Sea were successfully resolved in 2000. Certain environmentalists are concerned that Iceland left the International Whaling Commission (IWC) in June 1992 in protest of an IWC decision to refuse to lift the ban on whaling, after the IWC Scientific Committee had determined that the taking of certain species could safely be resumed.

Iceland is a representative democracy and a parliamentary republic. The modern parliament, Alþingi (English: Althing), was founded in 1845 as an advisory body to the Danish monarch. It was widely seen as a re-establishment of the assembly founded in 930 in the Commonwealth period and suspended in 1799. Consequently, "it is arguably the world oldest parliamentary democracy." It currently has 63 members as you can see in Iceland on map, elected for a maximum period of four years. The president is elected by popular vote for a term of four years, with no term limit. The elections for president, the Althing, local councils are all held separately every four years. The president of Iceland is a largely ceremonial head of state and serves as a diplomat, but can block a law voted by the parliament and put it to a national referendum.

Iceland economy has been diversifying into manufacturing and service industries in the last decade, including software production, biotechnology, and finance; industry accounts for around a quarter of economic activity, while services comprise close to 70% as its shown in Iceland on map. Despite the decision to resume commercial whale hunting in 2006, the tourism sector is expanding, especially in ecotourism and whale-watching. On average, Iceland receives around 1.1 millions visitors annually, which is more than three times the native population. Iceland agriculture industry, accounting for 5.4% of GDP, consists mainly of potatoes, green vegetables (in greenhouses), mutton and dairy products. The financial centre is Borgartún in Reykjavík, which hosts a large number of companies and three investment banks. Iceland stock market, the Iceland Stock Exchange (ISE), was established in 1985.

Renewable sources—geothermal and hydropower—provide effectively all of Iceland electricity and around 80% of the nation total energy, with most of the remainder consisting of imported oil used in transportation and in the fishing fleet. Iceland expects to be energy-independent by 2050. Iceland largest geothermal power plants are Hellisheiði and Nesjavellir, while Kárahnjúkavirkjun is the country largest hydroelectric power station. Icelanders emit 6.29 tonnes of CO2 in 2009 equivalent of greenhouse gases per capita as its mentioned in Iceland on map. Iceland is one of the few countries that have filling stations dispensing hydrogen fuel for cars powered by fuel cells. It is also one of a few countries currently capable of producing hydrogen in adequate quantities at a reasonable cost, because of Iceland plentiful renewable sources of energy.

In December 2007, 33,678 people (13.5% of the total population) living in Iceland had been born abroad, including children of Icelandic parents living abroad. Around 19,000 people (6% of the population) held foreign citizenship. Polish people make up the largest minority group by a considerable margin (see table on the right for more details), and still form the bulk of the foreign workforce. About 8,000 Poles now live in Iceland, 1,500 of them in Reyðarfjörður where they make up 75% of the workforce who are constructing the Fjarðarál aluminium plant as you can see in the Detailed map of Iceland. The recent surge in immigration has been credited to a labour shortage due to the booming economy at the time, as well as to the lifting of restrictions on the movement of people from the Eastern European countries that joined the EU / European Economic Area in 2004. Large-scale construction projects in the east of Iceland (see Kárahnjúkar Hydropower Project) have also brought in many people whose stay is expected to be temporary. Many Polish immigrants were also considering leaving in 2008 as a result of the Icelandic financial crisis.

There are around 1,300 known species of insects in Iceland, which is a rather low number compared with other countries (over one million species have been described worldwide) as its shown in the Detailed map of Iceland. The only native land mammal when humans arrived was the Arctic Fox, which came to the island at the end of the ice age, walking over the frozen sea. On rare occasions, bats which have been carried to the island with the winds can be seen, but they are not able to breed there. Polar bears have also shown up through the history, yet they are just visitors, and no Icelandic populations exist. There are no native or free living reptiles or amphibians on the island. The animals of Iceland include the Icelandic sheep, cattle, chicken, goat, the sturdy Icelandic horse, and the Icelandic Sheepdog. Many varieties of fish live in the ocean waters surrounding Iceland, and the fishing industry is a main contributor to Iceland economy, accounting for more than half of the country total exports.

Iceland has many geysers, including Geysir, from which the English word is derived, and the famous Strokkur, which erupts every 5–10 minutes as its mentioned in the Detailed map of Iceland. After a phase of inactivity, Geysir started erupting again after a series of earthquakes in 2000. Geysir has since then grown more quiet and does not erupt often. With the widespread availability of geothermal power, and the harnessing of many rivers and waterfalls for hydroelectricity, most residents have inexpensive hot water and home heat. The island itself is composed primarily of basalt, a low-silica lava associated with effusive volcanism as has occurred also in Hawaii. Iceland, however, has a variety of volcanic types (composite and fissure), many producing more evolved lavas such as rhyolite and andesite. Iceland has hundreds of volcanoes within approx. 30 volcanic systems active.

Touring Northern Iceland offers you the chance to experience remote landscapes and charming towns in the Land of Fire and Ice. Must-see North Iceland attractions include active volcanoes as you can see in the Map of Northern Iceland, secluded fjords, thundering waterfalls, rustic fishing villages and bubbling hot springs. You could go whale watching, uncover Icelandic folklore, or go hiking in the most extraordinary of locations. Stand in awe before Dettifoss, the most powerful waterfall in Europe and the largest in Iceland. Dettifoss is one of the most jaw-dropping places in this part of the country, where you can really get a sense of nature immense energy. Head to the northernmost corner of Vatnajökull National Park to witness the impressive canyon landscape of Ásbyrgi. Look down in wonder from the top of Ásbyrgi rock walls and you will see a horseshoe-shaped canyon carpeted in lush forest and plantlife.

Lake Mývatn is one of the top Northern Iceland attractions you should visit, with fascinating volcanic geology to discover. If you take a Full Circle tour of the country, you can not miss this vast lake, situated close to the Ring Road. Mývatn is an ethereal expanse of shallow water that stretches over 37 square kilometres (14 square miles) as its shown in the Map of Northern Iceland. It was formed by a basaltic lava eruption some 2,300 years ago. Lay your eyes on the awe-inspiring “Waterfall of the Gods” – a Northern Iceland wonder. Goðafoss will dazzle you with its beautiful cascades that drape over two horseshoe-shaped falls. You might recognise Húsavík from Netflix Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga. Húsavík was one of the Eurovision movie’s filming locations, the hometown of characters Sigrit and Lars – played by Rachel McAdams and Will Ferrell.

The Lake Mývatn area in North Iceland is brimming with otherworldly volcanic formations that are intriguing to behold. Another place you should visit in this part of Iceland is Dimmuborgir. Situated to the east of Lake Mývatn, Dimmuborgir is a strange lava landscape as its mentioned in the Map of Northern Iceland. Its name  means “Dark Castles,” owed to the interesting rock formations jutting out of the ground, resembling a fort from an ancient city. Discover the blissfully remote Skagafjörður, a valley set by a beautiful fjord of the same name in Northern Iceland. Skagafjörður is the perfect place to explore if you are looking for a picturesque countryside retreat during your North Iceland tour. Although the great majority of North Iceland star attractions are natural ones, you should not miss a visit to its biggest cultural hub. Akureyri is the second largest town in Iceland, after Reykjavík, and is nicknamed the “Capital of the North”. It is still small, with a population of just 18,000.

Southern Iceland is arguably the most popular region for tourists. With so many things to do and see, you could easily spend your whole time in this one region (see the Map of Southern Iceland). The beauty of Southern Iceland is the vast amount of landscape and natural wonders you are bound to see. You can choose between a variety of South Coast tours, or simply rent a car and drive yourself. The climate is often warmer in this region which only helps its popularity. If you are visiting the region during the shoulder seasons, be mindful of the wet weather. The driving is pretty easy and should not take too long if you are travelling from Reykjavik. There are a number of Airbnbs and hotels in the area that offer unique stays, you will definitely want to check them out. You can also rent your own cottage (many of which come with a hot tub) for an affordable price at Bungalo.

One of the most popular waterfalls in Southern Iceland is Gullfoss. While it is not the tallest in the country, it is definitely vast and overwhelming. The large canyons on either side and the incredible speed at which water runs over the falls have left tourists and locals in awe for years. If you are lucky enough to be visiting in the summer months you can enjoy the moss and lush green surroundings. In the winter, the falls become a winter wonderland, sparkling in the sun. Þingvellir National Park referred to as Thingvellir as its shown in the Map of Southern Iceland, is a truly unique destination on your travels around Southern Iceland. Many travellers love this spot because you can technically be in two places at once. Better yet, you can be in two continents at once. For those hunting to tick off UNESCO World Heritage sites, you will find one at the Þingvellir National park. In fact, it is the only UNESCO World Heritage site on Iceland mainland.

If finding unique natural phenomenon is on your Southern Iceland bucket list, then a visit to the Geysir area is necessary. Located along the Golden Circle, you will find the active hot spring. Walking onto the area feels as if you are walking into another world. The bubbling mud pits and unpredictable water bursts make it like a natural amusement park. Skógafoss Waterfall as its mentioned in the Map of Southern Iceland, definitely one of the most popular waterfalls and among the largest in South Iceland, you will want to add Skógafoss to your itinerary. It is also a popular camping ground, so if you plan on pitching a tent during your Iceland trip, make sure to spend a night here. Seljalandsfoss is arguably the most photographed waterfall in Iceland. It is not the biggest or the vastest, but it is one of the most beautiful that is for sure. Located just off of Route 1, stopping here wont deter your road trip plans too much.
