Iceland Unveiled: 30 Mind-Blowing Facts That Will Make You Want to Pack Your Bags and Go!
The Sheep Population Doubles Its Human Population
Iceland’s population of around 350,000 may be small, but it’s nothing compared to its fluffy, four-legged inhabitants. In fact, Iceland’s sheep population doubles that of its human population! It’s not hard to see why, though–with temperatures so chilly, it’s essential for Icelanders to bundle up in cozy woolens.
And what’s more, the country has long been famous for its high-quality woolen sweaters, made from the soft fleece of these hardy sheep. While the number of sheep in Iceland has fallen in recent years, with just under 500,000 remaining, the country’s wool industry is still going strong – making it the perfect place to stock up on warm, stylish knitwear.
