The Iceland satellite map shows new pictures of Iceland as seen from the sky. This satellite map of Iceland will allow you to visit the country Iceland in Northern Europe as seen from the sky. The Iceland satellite map is downloadable in PDF, printable and free.

Iceland lies about 4,200 km (2,610 mi) from New York City and 860 km (534 mi) from Scotland as you can see in Iceland satellite map. The term Iceland also is used to refer to the country sometimes called the Republic of Iceland, of which the island Iceland contains almost all the land area and almost all the population. Iceland has extensive volcanic and geothermal activity. The rift associated with the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, which marks the division between the European and North American tectonic plates, runs across Iceland from the southwest to the northeast. This geographic feature is prominent at the Þingvellir National Park, where the promontory creates an extraordinary natural amphitheatre. The site was the home of Iceland parliament, the Alþing, which was first convened in 930.

About half of Iceland land area, which is of recent volcanic origin, consists of a mountainous lava desert (highest elevation 2,119 m (6,952 ft) above sea level) and other wasteland as its shown in Iceland satellite map. Eleven percent is covered by three large glaciers: Vatnajökull (8300 km²), Langjökull (953 km²), Hofsjökull (925 km²) and several smaller ones: Mýrdalsjökull (695 km²), Drangajökull (199 km²), Eyjafjallajökull (107 km²), Snæfellsjökull. Twenty percent of the land is used for grazing, and only 1% is cultivated. An ambitious reforestation program is under way. Fossilized tree pollen and descriptions by the early settlers indicate that prior to human settlement in the 9th-10th century, trees covered about 30 - 40 % of the island. Today, however, there are only small patches of the original birch forests left, the most prominent are Hallormsstaðarskógur and Vaglaskógur.
