In previous videos we have highlighted the beauty of the blue of Zagreb, the green of Edinburgh and the red of Slovakia, today it is time to talk about Iceland.
Yes, the color white can be considered as representative of Iceland in several aspects and there are several reasons to affirm it.
The white complexion of its inhabitants. The Icelandic population is still remarkably homogeneous today. Adding to its historical ethnic isolation is that, unlike other European countries, most immigrants here come from Poland, Lithuania, Denmark and Sweden, which influence appearances to a lesser extent.
The clothing of the passers-by, especially in women, repeats white as a preferred color. There are plenty of examples of this in all the videos in this series.
The white roofs on houses and other buildings, something that has caught our attention, because we have not seen it anywhere else. Also, white is quite common on walls and floors.
Snowy Landscapes: During the winter months, much of Iceland is covered in snow, creating white landscapes and stunning scenes. Snow fields, mountains, and glaciers provide a unique natural beauty that is associated with the country.
Lastly, Iceland is known for its glaciers and floating icebergs. The ice found in glaciers and melting areas can be bright white, which contributes to the image of the country.
The color white certainly plays a significant role in the image associated with Iceland due to its presence in the natural and cultural elements of the country.
Immigration to Iceland is mainly from Poland 32.25%, Denmark 5.99%, Lithuania 4.85%. And Sweden, 3.01% In recent years, the number of immigrants living in Iceland has increased by 26,352 people, 67.44%.
Other origins of migrants. toIceland are Latvia, Norway, the United States and Great Britain.
There are practically no Arabs, no Turks, no Africans on the list, no Latin countries, and the only group that appears in the official statistics is the Hindus, with about 300 individuals.
The reasons for these figures are complex, but it is to be expected that the main cause for the people who settle here to be from northern Europe may be, with complete grounds, coming from a similar climate and idiosyncrasies. It is not easy for people from distant geographies to adapt to them.
