Iceland is a country in the north of Europe and it's famous for its beautiful sights(风景) and seas. It has a short summer which lasts from June to August. And the winter there is long.
Summer in Iceland is a great season for tourists. Every year, people from all over the world come here to see the beautiful sights and enjoy the exciting whaling(观鲸).
In winter, when people finish their work, they will have a lot of special activities to spend the long dark night. Skating, riding snow motorbikes and having parties can really make nights exciting. There are also story-telling activities for children. The most popular stories are about Christmas in Iceland.
Because of the long cold winter, Iceland has a short growing time. Food shortage(短缺) was a big problem for Iceland in the past. It had to buy most of its food from other countries. But now things change a lot. Farmers can use lights and underground heat to grow crops(庄稼) all year round in the greenhouse.
Living in such a nice environment, most people in Iceland live an enjoyable life. According to(根据) the World Happiness Report 2025, Iceland is the third happiest country in the world.
