How Iceland Changed the World. The Big Story of a Small Island

The history of Iceland, or as many call it, the "land of ice," began 1200 years ago when one fine day a Viking ship ran aground in the middle of the North Atlantic.
At that moment, the small island ceased to be exclusively a transshipment point and became the birthplace of a nation whose political and creative figures, natural phenomena, and even flora and fauna forever changed the world.
The author of the book, Egill Bjarnason, explains why the country played a key role in such diverse events as the French Revolution, the moon landing, the birth of Israel, and the emergence of the first female president.
With this book, you will delve into the origins of Iceland's history and look at the country of geysers and volcanoes in a new light!
