Terra de gelo - V

"Iceland is roughly equal in size to England, but with only 300,000 people (as opposed to England's 49 million), scattered around its coast. Beyond the sliver of habitable land along its shores, half the country is covered by the inhospitable desert and another 15% is taken up by icecaps. Add on some lava fields and a few sandar (glacial sand plains), sprinkle generously with geysers, fumaroles and hot springs, and you've pretty much covered the island."
