Foxes were the only land mammals（哺乳动物）in Iceland. There are four national parks and more than 80 nature preserves（保护区）in the country. Iceland has about 200 volcanoes（火山）. Iceland is known for its Golden Falls, and whale（鲸） watching. More than 270,000 tourists visit it each year.

Iceland was part of Norway and then was ruled by Denmark for more than 500 years, but the country became an independent（独立的）country in 1944. What do the colors in the flag stand for? Red is for the island’s volcanic fires, white for the snow and ice fields of the island, and blue is for the ocean around the country.
