Introduction
Iceland is an isolated country, often associated with Scandinavia though physically located far from the Scandinavian mainland. Unlike the mainland Scandinavian Peninsula, Iceland maintains a more conservative Norse identity thanks to contact difficulties between the island and the mainland(s) in any direction. Significant distances are required to identify land that does not belong to Iceland in any direction, whether toward Greenland (not very populated), Scotland (culturally distinct), or Norway (in which Iceland was once associated as part of the Kingdom of Denmark-Norway).
Ferry Access
The East Iceland community of Seyðisfjörður is accessible by MS Norröna ferry service, more commonly renowned for connections to the Faroe Islands including the capital at Tórshavn. The European mainland is also connected by way of the community of Hirtshals in northern Denmark, approaching Norway along the Skaggerak and the Kattegat.
