Iceland

The majority of the airports in Iceland and a couple in Europe are closed because it is very dangerous to fly an airplane through the smoke and ash that the eruption produced. The airplane turbines might catch a piece of ash the is in the giant cloud and would make the airplane turbines to explode or stop working

It is spelled: Eyjafjallajokull

The Arctic Circle.

Minke Whale meat is consumed in Iceland. Iceland hunts their own Minke Whales each year. Usually they sell it to Japan but some Icelandic do eat Whale meat.

I've never heard/seen any real statistics, but I think we can safely guess the number is under 1 million. There are approximately 300,000 people living in Iceland, and since it's one of the most difficult languages to learn (and if you do manage to learn it, there's only one small island to practice it on), I would be very surprised if there are over 1 million people who speak Icelandic fluently.

212 peaks above 610m or 2000ft.

Iceland uses the Krona. As of 16Feb09 GBP1 was worth ISK162.45. 2008 was not a good year for Iceland, with the economy crumbling and the financial system collapsing, literally. Over the 12 months to 16Feb09, the range for the Pound (noteably also having a bad 2008) was 130-225. Back in 2005, GBP1 bought you as little as ISK105.

Actually, this may surprise you, Iceland is actually not really a frozen tundra. Iceland was found by the Vikings, and seeing the land in the winter they named this country Iceland. So the answer to your question is that Iceland probably grows their crops just like any other country would, unless they have a secret formula they put into fertilizers to make their crops grow faster.

The kronur (plural, krona). This is also the currency of Sweden and the word means - in both languages - crown. In Sweden it is spelled kronor.

No, they are two separate languages. However, both languages have a common ancestor. Old English is also called Anglo Saxon and is the ancestor of modern day English. Old Norse, heavily influenced English, but is a different language. Old Norse is the ancestor of Icelandic. However,unlike English, there are few differences between Icelandic and its ancestor

Iceland is an area that is not as it sounds, icy. It really isn't most people say the ground is green, meaning you can see land. And Greenland is the opposite,icy.

Iceland has a number of unusual circumstances- no public railroads or even subways- for example- But I never heard of l3 Santas! Santa Lucia ( Italian, natch) is celebrated on either December l3 or l5 depending on local conditions. I never heard of l3 Santas. Twelve days of Christmas, yes, but not l3 ST. Nicks.

Yes, there are cows, particularly known by the breed Icelandic cattle, that do live in Iceland.

No. Most of Iceland's electricity (75%) comes from hydro and 25% comes from geothermal. All its electricity is renewable. 87% of Iceland's hot water and heating is geothermal. Renewable energy sources meet 81% of Iceland's primary energy requirements for electricity, heat, and transportation. The remaining 19% is oil for transport.

Iceland is a land form composed and created by volcanoes.

Many of these volcanoes are still active. Lava from underground heats up the groundwater and provides Icelanders with geothermal power and hot water.

Hope this helps :D

Youngest, you've escaped Reykjavik!

The flight time for flights between the above places is 5 hours 7 mins

This is an approximate travel time (calculated in ideal conditions. The travel speed is 500 mph and 30 mins for take off and landing). The actual time might change depending on the flight path chosen, weather conditions, etc

geothermal energy
Most homes and factories in Iceland are powered by Geothermal energy. This is power extracted from the heat stored in the earth.

It depends on what "America" is in your mind.

Iceland is about 3.293 km from the U.S.
Iceland is 287 km from Greenland. (Which is in North America)

And, though technically Iceland is half on the North American continent, so it is not very far from it.

Only a very small percentage of Iceland is continuously covered in ice. There are times of year when Iceland is covered in snow and at higher altitudes there is usually some ice. This one misconception that comes from it's name. Iceland is actually the green island while Greenland is the icier.

Iceland's average temperatures are similar Alaska. Reaching lows of about 25 degrees Fahrenheit in the winter and Highs of just under 60 degrees in the summer. That means that most of the ice and snow that accumulates in the winter melts in the mild summers

From the last Sunday of March to the last Sunday of October, England is one hour ahead of Iceland.

From the last Sunday of October to the last Sunday of March, there is no time difference between England and Iceland.

The flight time from Toronto in Canada to Halifax in the UK is approximately 6 hours and 59 minutes.

The total distance is approximately 5532.05 km or 3437 miles.

This flight time is approximate. Factors such as weather conditions could affect the flight time.

Well they are few.

Good day-Góðan daginn. There are some videos on YouTube that can help a bit.

There is no way of answering this question with a number, but it must run into the 1,000s.
