Iceland has the highest birth rate in Europe, the highest divorce rate, and the highest percentage of women working outside the home. Such statistics are often evidence of an unhappy, troublesome society, with loads of children, broken homes and absent mothers. But Iceland is the exception—its citizens are apparently the happiest in the world. Perhaps the country’s geographic location contributes to Icelanders’ happiness. Located in the middle of the North Atlantic, with Greenland as its nearest neighbor, Iceland is free from the taboos that cause so much suffering elsewhere.     Icelanders’ ancestors are the Vikings, a north European people who invaded European coasts from the beginning of the 8th through the 10th century. This tradition of getting out into the world lives on in modern-day Iceland. Practically all Icelanders have studied or worked in other countries, and most speak English. Perhaps as a result, Iceland’s economic policies combine the best of those from Europe and the US to create its own welfare system.

Indeed, the country is rich in writers, painters, film makers and accomplished musicians. There’s Sigur Ros, a post-rock band that plays to the highest standards all over the world. Half of the population appears to have written a book.

“Iceland has terrible nature, with its bitter ever-changing weather,” said Haraldur Jonsson, a painter, video and performance artist. “We cannot escape it. So we find ways to live with it. We have to have a rich life to fill the empty spaces.”
