Why do people go to Iceland?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Because it is a very cheap place to visit after the economy crashed in October 2008, resulting in the Icelandic krona's low exchange rate to other currencies.

It is also a very beautiful country and the people are friendly.

Religion of Iceland?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Religion in Iceland was initially the Norse paganism that was a common belief among mediaeval Scandinavians until Christian conversion. Later, the nation became half-Christian and then more fully Christian. This increasing Christianization culminated in the Pietism period when non-Christian entertainments were discouraged. At present, the population is overwhelmingly, if nominally, Lutheran. However, Baptist, Catholic, Jehovah's Witness, Bahá'í, neopagan, Mormon, Muslim and other faiths exist

How hot does it get in Iceland?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No. But it is not as cold as you think. That's right, I am in your head seeing exactly what you have been thinking.. Bad boy..
Anyway, the average temperature in Northern Iceland in spring is about 14°C.
It is warmed by the Gulf Stream, as is much of Atlantic Europe, so don't expect penguins. Actually, penguins live on the Antarctic, so it is probably a very bizarre instance if you see one in Iceland. Please notify the authorities if you see one there. They don't belong.

When did Iceland join NATO?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Iceland is a candidate for joining the European Union so it does not have a very long way to go. All that is left is negotiations and talks to allow Iceland to accede. Once Iceland is given the go ahead to accede, however, it could take more than a year to officially join, so Iceland will probably not be in the EU for 2-5 years.
