The beauty of Iceland posters
As already hinted at, Iceland’s landscape can be found nowhere else. It is a mixture of hot springs, icy glaciers,
wet deserts, lava fields and a dizzying amount of waterfalls. No matter how you are you inclined, you will find a
natural scene in Iceland posters that satisfies your visual and aesthetic needs. Iceland is a very clean and
environmentally friendly country, which is admirable in itself especially in these modern times. The people of this
nation have a strong bond with nature and they value their natural resources very highly. Water, for example, is so
pure that it is a natural spring water used all over the country. Iceland posters such as In the Depth of Hraunfossar
show us this amazing element, with rich detail and vibrant colours. Then there is Seljalandsfoss Waterfall in
Iceland, another Iceland poster that presents this particular and essential feature of this island in a magnificent
setting.
Quick history lesson
Iceland is the world’s second largest island and it has thirty minor islands as part of the country. There are some
large lakes on the island and fjords along the coast where most of the people live. The highlands of Iceland are too
cold for people to live there. As you can see in the Iceland poster named Iceland Route 1, it gets very chilly and
thus people have adjusted to the harsh conditions. This country's history goes back to the Vikings and some
settlements from the Norse and Celtic people, where it started out as a shelter for all sorts of runaways and
renegades. When Iceland was taken over by the King of Norway, they joined into one kingdom with Norway, Denmark and
Sweden. Then this union was split and Iceland became part of Denmark. In 1845 Iceland’s Independent Movement tried to
get home rule for the country and in 1944 they gained their independence, while Denmark was involved with German
invasions. Today Iceland is a very peaceful country and ranks highest on the life quality and lowest in crime rate.
Iceland posters do not only have natural beauty, but also set a good example for other nations.
The charmer in Iceland posters
The Icelandic horse is just how Iceland likes to perceive itself, little but strong. They are squat and muscular and
in the winter they have a long shaggy fur, as you can see in the Iceland poster entitled Icelandic Horse, which is
quite dramatic but also absolutely gorgeous. You can make this into the ideal focal point in your place of residence,
work or recreation. For an ever more alluring and mysterious piece, select an Iceland poster such as Flock of
Icelandic Horses. This shows off a whole band or herd of Icelandic horses, crossing a river in a primal and wild
fashion, making for an eye-catching and captivating scene.
