Iceland, located in the North Atlantic, is characterized by cold temperatures, glacial ice, and significant volcanic activity due to its position on the mid-Atlantic ridge. The country harnesses geothermal energy, a renewable resource from Earth's heat, to power over 75% of its homes and various facilities like greenhouses and swimming pools.
