Which continent does Iceland belong to?

Iceland belongs to Europe and is one of the five Nordic countries.

Iceland is the westernmost country in Europe. It is located in the middle of the North Atlantic, and its north is near the Arctic Circle. Iceland is covered by glaciers, with an area of 1.8 square kilometers and a coastline of about 4,970 kilometers.

It is bordered by the Greenland Sea in the north, by the Danish Strait in the northwest and by the Norwegian Sea in the northeast. With an area of/kloc-0.03 million square kilometers, Iceland is the second largest island in Europe.

Iceland is divided into 2/kloc-0 municipalities and 203 constituencies. According to the division of constituencies, there are six major constituencies, namely northwest, northeast, south, southwest, Reykjavik south and north.

Extended data geology:

Since the late Early Miocene, it has been formed by the accumulation of upper mantle materials overflowing from the mid-Atlantic ridge rift, belonging to a volcanic island. The rocks that make up Iceland are all volcanic rocks, and the most widely distributed are basalt, andesite, rhyolite and so on.

Culture:

Icelandic culture has deep roots with other Scandinavian cultures in northern Europe, and most Icelanders are descendants of Scandinavians and Gaels. Icelandic is a branch of North Germanic language, which originated from Cournot and is close to Faroese and western Norwegian dialect. Iceland's cultural heritage is mainly traditional Icelandic food, poetry and medieval Icelandic Sakya.

Iceland's natural landscape has become an important creative inspiration for artists. In recent years, the number of domestic artists has greatly increased. Reykjavik Art Museum and Iceland National Art Museum are the main art venues in China.

Iceland is also famous for its football. Although a small country with a small land and a large population, Iceland's national football team beat England 2-/kloc-0-0 in the European Cup of Nations in 20 16, which became a popular story.

Iceland's national team also tied Argentina with 1: 65438+ in FIFA World Cup Group D on 20 18.
