L'Islande – une terre chaude de glace
Cela paraît paradoxal, mais ce petit pays insulaire bénéficie d’un climat tempéré grâce au Gulf Stream. Les étés sont frais, mais les hivers ne sont pas aussi rigoureux que sur le continent.
Il faut le visiter ne serait-ce que pour voir en quoi la vie des insulaires heureux dans un environnement rude diffère de celle habituelle de la plupart des habitants des continents de l'étendue.
C'est une terre de mystère et un passé extraordinaire. C'est une île indépendante qui attire continuellement les voyageurs, depuis l'époque de l'exploration viking jusqu'à nos jours.
