ICELAND Iceland Population 2014

Iceland is a land of huge contrasts: On the one hand there is a landscape that hasn’t changed for millions of years with mountains and dangerously active volcanos spread through the land. This, in turn, leads to a sparsely populated country that is also one of the richest and most highly developed in the world.

Iceland Population 2014

A recent and suspiciously rounded estimate suggests that the Iceland population in 2012 was 319,575. Today, the estimate is 333,547, which would make this only the 169th most populous country on earth.

Overall, Iceland has a surface area of 103,001 square kilometres (39,770 square miles) and it is the 108th largest in this respect. However, that harsh geographical landscape is one of the reasons why it is only the 232nd most densely populated with just 3.2 people for every square kilometre of land (8.4 per square mile).
