What products do iceland make and sell?

Iceland "produces" fish, fish products, aluminium, hydroelectric and geothermal power.

By 1999, 82.3% of Icelanders had access to a computer. Iceland also had 1,007 mobile phone subscriptions per 1,000 people in 2006, this has really nothing to do with the original question, I'm just explaining that even though it only produces fish, it is a highly modern, egalitarian and wealthy country. =)
