How Iceland Changed the World. The Big Story of a Small Island

The history of Iceland or, as many call it, the "countries of the ice", began 1200 years ago, when one fine day the Viking ship sat aground in the middle of the North Atlantic.
At that moment, the small island ceased to be exclusively as a transshipment point and became the place of the origin of the nation, whose political and creative figures, natural phenomena, and even flora and fauna, have forever changed the world.
The author of the book, Egil Bianonon, explains why the country played a key role in such various events as the French revolution, landing on the moon, the birth of Israel and the appearance of the first woman president.
