    Extractions: The volcano Hekla Geography General Iceland, the second largest island in Europe, lies close to the Arctic Circle. It is about midway between New York and Moscow. Iceland has a total area of 103,000 square km (39,756 square miles). From north to south the greatest distance is about 300 km (185 miles), from west to east about 500 km (305 miles). The coastline is about 6,000 km (3,700 miles) and the shortest distances to other countries are 286 km (180 miles) to Greenland, 795 km (495 miles) to Scotland and 950 km (590 miles) to Norway. Geologically Iceland is a very young country, and the process of its formation is still going on. Iceland's interior consists entirely of mountains and high plateaus, devoid of human habitation. Its average height is 500 m above sea level, the highest point being Hvannadalshn�kur in the �r�faj�kull glacier in Southeast Iceland, reaching a height of 2.119 m (6,950 feet).

    Extractions: Geologically speaking, the country is very young and bears many signs of still being in the making. It appears on the whole roughly hewn, abrupt and jagged, without that softness of outline that characterizes a more mature landscape. Its average height above sea level is 500 m, and its highest point, Hvannadalshnukur in the glacier �r�faj�kull, reaches 2,119 m. One-quarter of the country lies below 200 m. The biggest lowland areas include those of Arnessysla, Rangarvallasysla and Vestur-Skaftafellssysla in the south, and the Myrar area in the West. These lowlands represent strandflats, a result of marine abrasion and glacier erosion during the Pleistocene era. Glacial erosion has played an important part in giving the valleys their present shape, and in some areas, such as between Eyjafj�r�ur and Skagafj�r�ur, the landscape possesses alpine characteristics. The neo-volcanic zones between the Tertiary basalt areas present another type of landscape. Here, characteristic features are extensive plateaus - both high and low - with volcanos, many of which have been built up subglacially, rising abruptly above the plateaus. The numerous gaping fissures and fault steps within the active volcanic belts make a striking feature. Source: Iceland Tourist Board Coasts The other type of coast is sandy with smooth outlines, often featuring extensive offshore bars with lagoons behind them. The beaches from Djupivogur in the southeast to the river �lfus� in the southwest are nearly all of this type and contain no good natural harbours. Parts of the coasts of Faxafl�i and Brei�afj�r�ur depict the Norwegian strandflat-skjergard style.
