The
population of Iceland enjoys a very high standard of living, and the
local culture is characterized by an openness to new things and the
outside world. Virtually all Icelanders speak fluent English and many
have studied one or two other European languages as well. Opportunities
to enjoy cultural activities such as theater, music and art are abound
in the capital, Reykjavik. Iceland enjoys a temperate climate,
well-suited to various forms of outdoor recreation all year round.
