Geography
Iceland is being torn in two
The island straddles the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, so North America and Eurasia pull apart beneath it by about 2 cm every year.
Countries
Iceland runs almost entirely on renewable power
Nearly 100 percent of its electricity comes from hydro and geothermal sources. Volcanic heat also warms homes, melts snow on pavements and heats outdoor pools all winter.
Islands
