Iceland is a country about the size of Kentucky with a population of about
250,000. The majority of the population lives in the capital, Reykjavik, with
other population centers on the west side- Keflavik, and some suburbs north of
Reykjavik (Kopavogur, Hafnarfjordur). The other major city, Akureyri is on the
north of the country, and is only accessible along the coast or by air.
I don't think that they have any railroads at all. Geography is mostly volcanic
desert, glaciers, and mountainous terrain. Beautiful, but rugged.
