Reykjavik, Iceland
| Reykjavik - Iceland A view of ReykjavÃk Airport from the Perlan hill. The control tower atop a building is visible on the left and the larger Loftleiðir Hotel on the right. The airfield extends behind them. Photo TommyBee (Public Domain) | Reykjavik is by far the largest community in Iceland, with a population of about 200,000. Including the neighbouring towns, the capital area has a total population of about 170,000, which is about 60% of Iceland’s population of 300,000 people.
Iceland was settled by Norwegian and Celtic immigrants during the late 9th and 10th centuries A.D. According to the medieval Book of Settlements, Ingolfur Arnarson – the first settler of Iceland – built his farm on the peninsula where Reykjavik stands today. The place was named Reykjavik – “Smoky Bay†- after the columns of steam that rose from the hot springs in the area and made such a profound impression on the original settlers.
