Why has Iceland got a low population density?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Iceland has a low population density due to its harsh and rugged terrain, including volcanic activity and glacial ice, which makes large portions of the land uninhabitable. Additionally, its isolated location in the North Atlantic Ocean and limited economic opportunities contribute to a smaller population size.

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

In the anime "Hetalia: Axis Powers," Iceland and Hong Kong are often portrayed together as a pair due to their limited screen time and character development in the series compared to other countries. Pairing them up allows for more interactions and storylines between the two characters within the show's format. It also provides a unique and interesting dynamic between two lesser-known countries in the series.

Are there wolves in Iceland?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Norse mythology had something similiar. The word "Berserker" originally referred to Legendary Scandinavian warriors, whose frenzy in battle transformed him into a wolf or bear. The word itself is derived from Ber or "Bear" & Serkr or "Shirt".

Some postulate that this may have contributed to the legends of "Werewolves".


There were also Ulfhednars, whose name means Wolf Hide. They also could be called Ulfsarks.

Does corn grow in Iceland?

Asked by Wiki User

Yes you can grow a garden in Alaska. You have to pick the right plants for the shorter growing season. Some plants need to be started inside before you plant them in the garden. Some extend the season with green houses, tunnels, or cold frames. Because of the long summer daylight, some plants get really huge such as strawberries.

What are some typical food dishes in Iceland?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

This cake is simply called "Batter cake", which is certainly descriptive, but not very poetic. It is an excellent base for a cream cake - in which case forget the jam and use canned fruit instead and pour a little of the juice into both layers, pipe on whipped cream to cover the cake and decorate with fresh fruit.

1/3 cup butter or margarine, soft

1/2 cup sugar

3 eggs

1 cup flour

1/2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp. vanilla essence (this is my addition to the original recipe, as I think that without it the cake tastes eggy)

Separate the eggs. Whip together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy, then add the egg yolks and mix well (and add the vanilla if using). Mix together flour and baking powder and add to the batter little by little. Whip the egg whites until stiff and fold into the batter with a spatula.

Pour into 2 round 20 centimeter/8 inch baking pans with loose bottoms and bake at 175°C/350°F (regular oven) until the cakes area rich golden colour, if possible with more bottom-heat than top-heat (if your oven doesn't have that setting, don't worry). No baking time is given in the original recipe, but it took 15 minutes in my convection oven at 165°C/330°F.

Turn out of the pans onto baking paper sprinkled with sugar, and allow to cool (original recipe), or turn out onto a cake rack and sprinkle sugar directly on the top of one layer while it is still hot (my suggestion). Sandwich with jam when cooled, putting the sugared layer on top.

This makes a cute little cake. The original recipe calls for 3 layers, in which case I suggest using 12 or 15 centimeter/5 or 6 inch pans so the layers will not be thin as pancakes.

I used strawberry-rhubarb jam when I made it, but I think strawberry or raspberry jam would probably be the best for this cake. I can also imagine it would be quite delicious layered with chocolate fudge icing.

Iceland is country code +354. There are no city codes or area codes. The local number is 7 digits.

(The plus sign means "insert your international access prefix here." From a GSM mobile phone, you can enter the number in full international format, starting with the plus sign. The most common prefix is 00, but North America (USA, Canada, etc.) uses 011, Japan uses 010, Australia uses 0011, and many other countries use different prefixes.)
