History in Iceland wallpaper

Iceland is Europe’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. You will not be able to tell from just looking at Iceland wallpaper, but 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 wallpaper do not only have visual appeal, but also a sense of history which you can share with the people you love.

The capital

Iceland's capital of Reykjavik is in itself a very special place where you feel like you are in a small town even though you are in big, European city. This vibrant metropolis is heavily featured in Iceland wallpaper, as you can probably tell by now. Did you know that the name actually means "Bay of Smokes" in Icelandic? This is reportedly because the first Viking settlers saw steam from geothermal vents when they first landed in Iceland, which makes sense if you have happened to see the natural scenery of the country in person, or in media. In Iceland wallpaper though, you will be treated to incredible architecture and innovation. A concrete example is Reykjavik’s most iconic building, the Hallgrímskirkja Church which is almost 75 meters tall! Not only is it Iceland’s second tallest building, but definitely one of its most contentious. Elements of the church are inspired by Icelandic nature, such as volcanoes, geysers and the vast wilderness, which is also transmitted through Iceland wallpaper that feature this impressive structure.
