Iceland

The first Norseman to reach Iceland was Naddodd, who named it Snæland, meaning Snowland.

The Black Death reached Iceland in 1402–1404, killing an estimated 50–60% of the population.

Iceland is the only large insular landmass in the world located on a mid-ocean ridge above sea level.

Iceland was the first country in the world to have a political party formed and led entirely by women, known as the Women's List.

Vigdís Finnbogadóttir became the world's first elected female head of state in 1980.
