Iceland has a population of about 340,000, spreading over more than 100,000 square kilometers. Despite its small size, there are many reasons to visit this amazing country. City of Culture Most visitors’ first destination is Reykjavik, a small and clean city known for its colorful and stylish buildings. The city’s downtown area is lined with shops, art galleries, cafes and bookstores. In 2000, Reykjavik was awarded the title of Europe's City of Culture, thanks to its art museums for true art lovers. Hot Springs Iceland has a number of hot springs around the island. All are heated naturally by underground volcanic(火山的) activity. In fact, this energy is turned into electricity, which powers and heats people's homes and businesses. As a result, Iceland burns very little fossil fuel(化石燃料), such as oil and gas. Iceland has some of the cleanest air in the world. Caves and Monsters In Iceland, one of the most popular outdoor activities to enjoy is caving. Exploring Iceland's special lava(熔岩) caves or ice caves is challenging and requires special clothes and hiking tools. The best-known ice caves are in Vatnajokull, which, at 8,000 square kilometers, is Europe's largest ice cave. Outside the town of Reykjavik, the huge rocks were once believed to be monsters. These are dramatic scenery on a magnificent black-sand beach.
