Mind-Blowing Iceland Facts to Make You Fall in Love with the Country
That’s A Lot Of Sheep
Iceland may have a population of just around 350,000 people, but the country is home to twice that number of sheep. This is no surprise, as the cold temperatures make it essential for people to bundle up in woolen clothes. Icelandic sheep are known for their unique double-layered coats, which are made up of a short, coarse outer coat and a dense, insulating inner coat.
This unique quality doesn’t only help them to keep warm in the colder temperatures but also contributes to premium quality wool. The country has a long history of producing top-notch woolen sweaters, made from the soft fleece of these hardy sheep.
