25 Things You Didn’t Know About Iceland | Iceland Travel Guide by Katie Hammel | June 16th, 2010 1) At roughly 39,000 square miles, Iceland is small – about the size of the US state of Ohio. 11% of the country is covered with glaciers, and 8% of that is a single one, Vatnajökull, which is located in the vast and nearly uninhabited interior. Three of Iceland’s five glaciers are the largest in Europe. >> Read about transportation in Iceland 2) Though it’s called Iceland, the name is a bit misleading. 3) Only about 320,000 people live in Iceland. 4) Iceland sits out in the North Atlantic Ocean, just south of the Arctic Circle (which passes through the island of Grismey but not through the mainland itself). >> Learn more about flights to Iceland 5) Because of its northerly position, the sun shines in Iceland nearly 24 hours a day during the peak of summer. >> Read about where and how to see the Northern Lights in Iceland 6) Iceland is one of the most geologically active spots on Earth. 7) Iceland is home to the youngest place on Earth.

Hotel Igloo Village Catching one of nature’s jaw-dropping light shows, the auroras, can be a chilly experience, especially in the northern hemisphere. Away from the distracting city lights and city comforts and into dark, cold wilderness can be a daunting experience for some. So for those of us who would still like to catch a glimpse of the awe-inspiring northern lights, but would prefer to be relatively warm, there is a place out in northern Finland, amongst the reindeer, where you can find a field of igloos. Except the igloos here are not made from snow. Instead, the igloos here are made from glass that might be mistaken for clear transparent ice. This is Hotel Kakslauttanen, where the experience of viewing the northern lights can be done from a comfortable bed in a warm room with a special glass that keeps all the heat in. The use of snow and ice in the buildings is a large theme at Hotel Kakslauttanen. Oh, and for the record, (most) Canadians do not live in igloos. Via Travelphant
