Have you ever heard of Iceland? Iceland is a European country. It used to be one of the richest countries in the world. Its total area is 103 thousand square kilometers. Summer in Iceland is very short, which lasts from June to August. Its winter starts from September and ends next May.
In 1980, Iceland started to develop its tourist industry(旅游业). Forty two years has passed since then. In summer, plenty of tourists from all over the world come here to have a visit. In winter, people in Iceland have to spend the long dark night. They usually have a lot of special activities, such as skating, riding snow motorbikes and having parties to have an exciting night.
Because of a long cold winter, Iceland has a short growing season. Food problem was always a headache for Iceland in the past. Now the problem is being solved.
