The World Online Philatelic Agency “WOPA” has had the latest addition to their state of the art website. Iceland stamps are now available at face value from their site.

Iceland described as the Republic of Iceland, is a European island country in the north Atlantic Ocean on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. It has a population of about 320,000 and a total area of 103,000 km2(39,769 sq mi). 

The capital and the largest city is Reykjavík, with the surrounding areas in the southwestern region of the country being home to two-thirds of the country’s population.

Iceland is volcanically and geologically active. The interior mainly consists of a plateau characterised by sand fields, mountains and glaciers, while many glacial rivers flow to the sea through the lowlands. Iceland is warmed by the Gulf Stream and has a temperate climate despite a high latitude just outside the Arctic Circle.

The stamps of Iceland are adorable and we hope you enjoy browsing the large selection of new issues available at FACE VALUE on www.wopa-stamps.com
