The Vatnajökull National Park is the largest national park in Europe. It encompasses an area of 12.000 km2 or approximately 11% of Iceland. It will at first cover the national parks of Skaftafell and Jökulsárgljúfur and almost all of Vatnajökull glacier. The region contains a uniquely contrasting blend of natural beauty, active volcanism, geothermal energy and waterfalls. The creeping glaciers dominate the area – making it the easiest part of Iceland for glacier exploration. Skaftafell has some of the most diverse flora and fauna found in any part of the country, with protected species including growing stocks of Arctic fox and ptarmigan.

"Iceland is far from the continental Europe but is part of it by his cultral links with the Scandinavian countries and their Germanic language.
And it's also confirmed by the fact that Iceland issues Europa stamps each year since 1960!.
In 1971, the Icelandic designer Helgi Haflidason made the common Europa CEPT design that year.
In 2005, they won the Europa best stamp competition with a round shaped stamp."

"Great-Britain as many other countries issued their first Europa stamp in 1960, then their issues where irregular: 1961, 1969, and then non-stop since 1980 only (with an exception in 2000) even if some British territories as Jersey, Guernsey or the Isle of Man produced Europa stamps since the mid-seventies!
Great-Britain as the inventor of the "stamp" is the only country in the world issuing stamps without adding the name of their country on it, only the face or the monogram of the Queen (or King) is shown on them.
The British Europa stamps are often part of a larger set where only some of the stamps are baring the Europa stamps logo."
