Reykjavik, with its neighboring communities, has a population of around 180,000 and offers an interesting mix of cosmopolitan culture and local village roots. 冰岛的首都是个现代大都市与乡村纯朴风格的结合。
Old accounts say the ancient gods themselves guided Iceland first settler, Ingolfur Arnarson, to make his home in Reykjavik. He named the place Reykjavik, a pollution-free energy source that leaves the air outstandingly fresh, clean and clear. 古代的神给了冰岛首都这个名字, 表示纯净, 干净和清透。
