Iceland is known as the land of fire and ice, as a lot of the land is covered by ice, although there is a high rate of volcanoes in the country, most of them are currently active, spewing out non violent, basaltic lava as we speak.

Iceland is sometimes referred to as the land of fire and ice. As this island nation sits high in the north Atlantic east of southern Greenland, it has some permanent ice sheets. But the Republic of Iceland is also home to a number of volcanic or thermally active sites.

Correct about Iceland. There is also a place in New Merico called The Land of Fire and Ice. It includes an ice cave and the Bandera Volcano.
