the capital and largest city of Iceland, located on the island's southwestern coast, known for its colorful houses and access to geothermal energy.
From Old Norse 'Reykjavík' meaning 'smoky bay' (from 'reykr' = smoke and 'vík' = bay), named for the steam rising from geothermal hot springs visible to early Viking settlers.
Reykjavik is the world's northernmost capital of a sovereign state—and incredibly, it's heated almost entirely by geothermal energy from Earth's hot interior, making it one of the greenest cities on the planet!
