About half of Iceland is lava desert (around 7,000
feet above sea level created by volcanoes) and other types of
wasteland. Eleven percent of Iceland is covered by
glaciers, including the snow-covered volcanoes of Eyjafjallajőkull and
Snaefellsjőkull. Only 1% of the land is
farmed and 20% of the land can be used for grazing. (Geography of Iceland,
Wikipedia).
