Iceland

Iceland is an island country situated in the North Atlantic Ocean, west of Norway.  It is the most sparsely populated country in Europe.  Its capital is Reykjavik.  Iceland gained independence from Denmark in 1918 and became a Republic in 1944.

Iceland issued its first postage stamps in 1873.  Before independence, many Icelandic stamps depicted monarchy, but since 1944, the country has not issued many stamps, only about 20 every year.
