REYKJAVÍK

Even though only one-twentieth

of Iceland’s potential geothermal

power has been harnessed, around

89% of houses are heated geothermally.

With temperatures ranging from 59º F

(15º C) in the summer to -40º F

(-40º C) in the winter, vegetation on

Svalbard consists mostly of lichens

and mosses; the only trees are the

tiny polar willow and the dwarf birch.

Greenland's deeply indented coastline

is 24,430 miles (39,330 km) long,

a distance roughly equivalent to the

Earth's circumference at the equator.
