 | | Iceland remained one of the world's last larger islands uninhabited by humans, until it was first settled by Scandinavians, mainly Norwegians (Vikings), and Celtic (Scottish and Irish) immigrants during the late 9th and 10th century. |
 | | Iceland remained independent for over 300 years, and was subsequently ruled by Norway and Denmark, formally as a Norwegian crown colony until 1814 when the united kingdoms of Denmark and Norway were separated by the treaty of Kiel, and Iceland was kept by Denmark as a dependency. |
 | | Iceland is located in the North Atlantic Ocean, a bit south of the arctic circle, which passes through the small island Grimsey off the north coast of Iceland, but not through Iceland itself. |
