About Iceland

Iceland is a Nordic island nation that is characterized by its sizeable landscape made up of volcanoes, geysers, hot springs, and lava fields. Iceland’s capital is Reykjavik and this happens to be the most populous city. The city runs on hydroelectric power and is home to the National and Saga museums, connecting to Iceland’s Viking history.

Iceland is the most less populated country in Europe but is the world’s 18th biggest island and Europe’s second-biggest island after Great Britain. The Gulf stream warms up the country and it has a temperate climate, despite a massive latitude just outside the Arctic Circle. Its massive latitude and influence from the marines keep the summers chilly, with most of the Island having expanse weather.

Icelandic is the official language, and the currency used is the Icelandic krona.

Where to Go

There is no Iceland embassy here in Nigeria but Iceland is a Schengen state, hence a valid visa to any other country that is part of the Schengen agreement would give you access into the Iceland borders. So the British High Commission or any other Schengen country office here in Nigeria would be sufficient.
