Iceland is unlike any other country (see Box 1). Uniquely positioned atop one of the Earth’s 40,000 km of mid-oceanic ridges, it allows us to see on dry land a process usually hidden under thousands of metres of ocean — sea-floor spreading. Its location on the edge of the Arctic circle also offers the opportunity to study the interaction between volcanoes and glaciers at first hand.
