Capital of Iceland

Reykjavík, the capital of Iceland, is a unique combination of city life and pure nature. In a dramatic setting of mountains and sea, it´s a friendly city of 160.000 inhabitants where man and nature meet in harmony. Reykjavík takes its name from the steaming hot springs which astonished the first settler in the year 874 but today provide geothermal central heating for the whole city, and heat up outdoor swimming pools all year round.
