简史
冰岛于1918年宣布为主权国家,但仍受丹麦国王的控制,由丹麦处理其外交事务。在第二次世界大战中,冰岛脱离丹麦,同英国和美国建立了外交关系。1944年6月17日成立冰岛共和国,1946年加入联合国,1949年成为北约成员国。
冰岛是欧洲最西部国家, 位于大西洋北部, 靠近北极圈. 寒冷、荒凉、孤寂、遥远,这是冰岛给人的直觉。这印象没错,但这并不是冰岛的全部。
冰岛很少树木,放眼四周都是光秃秃的一片,应该长树的地方只剩苔藓可存活。踏上冰岛的土地,感觉人在另一世界。因为树木不多,视野开阔,加上地广人稀,心旷神怡的感觉格外深切。
其实在这个地貌独特的岛国上,处处山明水秀,你可以看到许多在地球其他地方难得一见的景色。”
彩虹不是什么奇观,冰岛也有彩虹,但它像一座五彩拱桥从地平线的这端跨到另一端。
韦斯特曼纳埃亚尔(Vestmannaeyjar )是冰岛南部一个小岛。1973年的一次火山爆发后,部分土地被熔岩覆盖了,至今还在冒烟,泥土是温的,上面寸草不生。邱武烈说:“踩在这片土地上,会误以为自己已踩在月球上;但是没有被熔岩覆盖的一面,却是风光明媚。”言下之意似乎是说,这才意识到自己原来尚在人间!
俄罗斯有俄罗斯金环,是个精华景点集中的地区,冰岛也有类似俄罗斯金环的金色旅游环。旅游环是指首都雷克雅维克 (Reykjavik)左上角的一个倒置正三角形地区,这里是冰岛景点最集中的地方。
金色旅游环内,大大小小的火山口随处可见。邱武烈说,司机可随意停车,步行就可抵达到火山口,让旅客开眼界。
火山区还常见间歇喷泉,在地热的作用下,这些喷泉每隔一段时间才从地底喷出。这些喷泉从广袤的地表突然冒出,直冲云宵。邱武烈说,虽然纽西兰的北岛也可看到这样的喷泉,但冰岛的间歇喷泉则壮观得多。
金色旅游环内还有一个雄伟的瀑布——居德(Gullfoss)瀑布。这瀑布很奇特:一边是万马奔腾的流水,一边则是冻结成冰的“冰墙”。
“蓝湖”(Blue Lagoon )离首都西南约45分钟车程。据说,湖底蕴藏了大量的矽,湖水终年深蓝色,所以得名。“蓝湖”毗邻发电厂,发电厂冒出的水气弥漫整个湖面,有时能见度只有约 1 公尺。听说,矽有护肤作用,难怪当地人早把“蓝湖”当成天然美容院。
冰岛东南部的瓦特纳冰原(Vatnajokull )从首都乘搭内陆班机到赫本(Hofn )——冰岛东南部一个美丽的小渔港,再以车代步蜿蜒上山,约一小时后壮丽的冰原景色便已在脚下。
约居萨尔洛恩(Jokusalon )冰川湖。不必到南极洲去,在那里也可以看到形状各异的大浮冰。“别处的浮冰大都呈水晶蓝或雪白色,冰岛的浮冰,却透着棕色或灰蓝色条纹。乍看好像一块块巨型的猫眼石浮在湖面上,美丽又动人!”
这就是冰岛,一个是人间又不像人间的地方。
民俗礼仪:
服饰礼仪
冰岛气候寒冷,而且许多地方气候无常,所以人们都喜欢穿大衣,普遍戴口罩和围围巾。会见外宾,参加舞会和宴会时,如果天气较为暖和,则身着传统的社交礼服或深色西装。妇女讲究着装和化妆艺术,喜欢穿名贵皮毛大衣,出入社交场合则要巧梳发式并俩戴质料考察的头饰。
仪态礼仪
冰岛人不管在什么场合下,站着时总喜欢把腰杆挺直。在冰岛,如果叫人过来,一般是手心朝上打手势,如果表示再见,则以手心朝下打手势。他们对当众提裤子等不好行为很讨厌。
相见礼仪
称呼冰岛男子,在其父名后加上松字,女子则在父名后加上多提尔。与冰岛人见面时行握手礼,握手应大方,不可点头哈腰,也不要将一只手插进口袋。在朋友家里或一般社交场合,互不相识抢购了面时,彼此可主动作自我介绍。谈话时双方相距1.2米左右为宜。
餐饮礼仪
冰岛人以面食,大米为主食,由于渔业资源丰富,各种鱼类经常成为餐桌上的佳肴。冰岛人好客,有客人到来,总是要把最好的食品拿出来请客人品尝。如果是正式宴请,一般会发出请帖,对时间地点都写得一清二楚。他们不吃自死的动物。
喜丧礼仪
在冰岛,人们结婚时要先到教堂举行宗教色彩浓厚的婚礼仪式。婚礼由神职人员主持,气氛庄严神圣。新郎新娘挽手并肩,接受人们的祝福。婚礼在人们的欢呼声中结束。冰岛人对年长者逝世后的葬礼很重视,要举行隆重悼念仪式,有的要持续好几天。
商务礼仪
冰岛人在商贸活动中注重时效,忌拖泥带水。在他们看来,失约就是失礼,不守时便是缺乏信誉的表现。因此,万一因故不能准时赴约,要尽早通知对方并表示歉意。若因故迟到,要向主人和在场其他人员表示歉意。 递接名片时,可附带说上一句请多关照之类的话。赠送礼品时,越是带有异国情调和特色的礼品便越受欢迎。不要拒绝回赠的礼品。
旅游礼仪
有人说,在冰岛旅游,那种感觉是在其他任何地方都找不到的。首都雷克雅未克空气清晰,阿库雷里市背靠雪山。在这里投宿时,证件应齐全,在旅社放录音机,看电视时音量不宜太大。在冰岛,对服务员支付小费是侮辱人的举止。
主要禁忌
在冰岛,男子一般不随便参与妇女圈的讨论。同女子接触时,忌问女子的年龄,并忌与她们开玩笑。冰岛人大部分信奉基督教,忌讳13和星期五,他们不在13日这一天举行重要活动,不能有13个人同桌共餐。
公车
搭公车环岛旅行的人可购买环岛旅游票(Full-Circle Pass),这种票在夏天环岛公路搭乘巴士,但只能顺一个方向,也没有时间限制,每个景点爱停多久就停多久。巴士周游券(Omnibus Pass)有效时间是一周至四周,除了内陆高原的巴士不能搭乘,其余均可搭乘。高原巴士票(Highland Pass)如果要到内陆高原旅行,就可购买这种票券。
租车
租车是旅游冰岛最方便的交通工具。花多一点钱租辆四轮传动车,更可以深入路况不好的原野地区。
在冰岛开车要注意几个事项:
·每个座位均需系安全带。
·一上路都得开大灯。
·遇到动物必须礼让。
·许多公路死角,其标示为Blind haes,请注意这时一定要减速。通常是遇到是90度以上右转,驾驶若看不到前面的路就必须减速。
·市区限速50公里,市郊则为80公里。
·多为泥土路,请小心。
渔业是冰岛国民经济的主要支柱. 工业以渔产品和畜产品加工为主. 经济上对外贸依赖极大, 1985年进, 出口额分别占国内生产总值的52.6%和48%. 长期以来, 困扰冰岛经济的最大难题是物价不断上涨, 历届政府都把抑制通货膨胀作为首要任务. 1983年通货膨胀率为84.3%, 创战后最高纪录. 在此情况下, 上届政府采取了紧缩政策, 冻结了物价与工资,取消了农产品及物价补贴,但收效甚微. 1987年, 通货膨胀率仍保持在18.8%, 是西方工业国中最高的. 当年7月本届政府上台后, 把争取国家财政和外贸平衡,继续降低通货膨胀率以及进一步减少外债作为新政府的主要经济目标.
主要经济目标
国内生产总值(1995年):4910亿冰岛克朗

国内生产总值增长率(1995年):2.0%

洛基英语的英文冰岛介绍:
Iceland - Discoveries the Entire Year
Iceland is not only closer than you think, but far different than you ever imagined. Where else can you witness such marvels of Mother Nature as a tremendous icecap and several glaciers, spouting geysers and steaming solfataras, volcanoes (hopefully dormant), raging rivers and magnificent waterfalls, a multitude of birds, cavorting whales just offshore and many other surprises. Summers are surprisingly warm and winters not as cold as you might expect. Regardless of when you visit, be assured that the warmth shown by Icelanders, their desire to share their culture and the efforts made to make your stay as pleasant as possible will, like the spectacular landscape, never be forgotten.
冰岛与你脑海中勾画的那番景象,相近却又遥远的超乎你的想象。在这里,你亲眼见证大自然宛如一个巨大的冰盖,上面冰川嶙峋,高涌的喷泉,蒸发的硫质喷气孔,成群的火山(但愿在休眠中),奔腾的河流,壮观的瀑布,鸟类集群,海面上跳跃的鲸鱼,还有其他想不到的惊喜都在等着你。冰岛的夏季出人意料的暖和,冬季并不是你想象中的那般寒冷。无论你何时造访冰岛,都可以放一百个心,冰岛人民热情待人,他们乐于与你分享冰岛的当地文化,将尽最大努力保证你的旅行舒适愉快,他们的友好将和冰岛壮丽的风景一样,让你难以忘怀。

冰岛的简介
Introction to Iceland
Iceland's stark, pristine scenery has been shaped by fire and ice: More than 200 volcanoes and numerous glaciers form the country's landscape. It's a frozen land that's always letting off steam. Its U-shaped valleys, jagged lava fields, monstrous icecaps, hot springs and geysers have carved a rugged, bizarre landscape you won't see anywhere else on Earth. But you don't need the fortitude of a Viking to enjoy Iceland. In fact, you can experience many of its extremes in relative comfort. During a recent trip, we swam outdoors in a naturally heated pool just yards/meters away from a glacier.
Despite its relative isolation and untillable terrain, Iceland has one of the highest standards of living in the world (with sky-high prices to match). Tourists began to flock there in the 1990s, realizing that it's actually a destination in its own right rather than just a long layover on connecting Icelandair flights.
Icelanders, like many islanders, are self-confident and reserved, but once you break the ice, so to speak, they are among the friendliest in the world. Of course, they, too, have their extremes. Although weeknights in Reykjavik, the capital city, are usually quite sedate, the wee hours ring the weekends (particularly Friday nights) can get downright raucous as stylishly dressed young people observe a rowdy party-on-the-streets ritual known as the runtur, or circuit.

Iceland, officially the Republic of Iceland (Icelandic: Ísland or Lýðveldið Ísland; IPA: [ˈliðvɛltɪð ˈislant]) is a European island nation in the northern Atlantic Ocean between Greenland, Norway, Scotland, Ireland, and the Faroe Islands. [2]
Iceland has a history of habitation since about the year 874, when, according to Landnámabók, the Norwegian chieftain Ingólfur Arnarson became the first permanent Norwegian settler on the island. At least one slave, Náttfari, is documented to have settled in Iceland earlier after fleeing from his owner Gardar Svavarsson. For some reason Náttfari is usually not credited for having settled on the island first. Over the next centuries, people of Nordic and Gaelic origin settled in Iceland. Until the 20th century, the Icelandic population relied on fisheries and agriculture, and was from 1262 to 1944 a part of the Norwegian and later the Danish monarchies.
Today, Iceland is a highly developed country, the world's fifth and second in terms of GDP per capita and human development respectively. It is also the fourth "happiest" nation in the world.[3] Iceland is a member of UN, NATO, EEA and OECD
Location and Topography
Iceland is located in the North Atlantic Ocean just south of the Arctic Circle, which passes through the small island of Grímsey off Iceland's northern coast, but not through mainland Iceland. Unlike neighbouring Greenland, Iceland is considered to be a part of Europe, not of North America, though geologically, the island belongs to both continents. Because of cultural, economic and linguistic similarities, Iceland in many contexts is also included in Scandinavia. It is the world's 18th largest island, and Europe's 2nd largest island following Great Britain.
Approximately 11 percent of the island is glaciated.[4] Many fjords punctuate its 3,088 miles (4,970 km) long coastline, which is also where most towns are situated because the island's interior, the Highlands of Iceland, is a cold and uninhabitable combination of sands and mountains. The major towns are the capital Reykjavík, Keflavík, where the international airport is situated, and Akureyri. The island of Grímsey on the Arctic Circle contains the northernmost habitation of Iceland. [5]
The only native land mammal when humans arrived was the arctic fox. It came to the island at the end of the ice age, walking over the frozen sea. There are no native reptiles or amphibians on the island. There are around 1,300 known species of insects in Iceland, which is rather low compared with other countries (there are about 925,000 known species in the world). During the last Ice Age almost all of the country was covered by permanent snow and glacier ice. This explains the low number of living species in Iceland.
When humans arrived, birch forest and woodland probably covered 25-40% of Iceland’s land area. But soon the settlers started to remove the trees and forests to create fields and grazing land. During the early 20th century the forests were at their minimum and were almost wiped out of existence. The planting of new forests has increased the number of trees since, but this can not be compared with the original forests. Some of those planted forests have included new foreign species.
Iceland has four national parks: Jökulsárgljúfur National Park, Skaftafell National Park, Snæfellsjökull National Park, and Þingvellir National Park.
Ⅹ 介绍冰岛的英语短文
I think Iceland ia very beatiful 我认为并倒是很美丽的。
Old accounts say the ancient gods themselves guided Iceland first settler, Ingolfur Arnarson, to make his home in Reykjavik. He named the place Reykjavik, a pollution-free energy source that leaves the air outstandingly fresh, clean and clear.
据说古代神亲自引导冰岛的第一个定居者,因格福尔·阿纳森,让他在雷克雅未克的家。他给那地方雷克雅未克,无污染的能源,叶片的空气非常新鲜,干净。
