The population of Iceland
Iceland is currently 94% urban, making it the eighth most urban country in the world. However, even though the majority of the population lives in urban areas, the island itself is not densely populated. The population overwhelmingly lives in the nation’s capital and biggest city, Reykjavik, which is located in the southwest corner of the island and is considered the northernmost national capital in the world.
