Sitting between the Atlantic Ocean and the Arctic Sea, Iceland is the least populated country in Europe. Although located on the edge of the Arctic Circle, the North Atlantic Drift is responsible for its moderate temperature. When the economic crisis broke out in 2008, its three major banks declared bankruptcy, leaving Icelanders with a total debt about 9 times their GDP, putting the entire country to the verge of bankruptcy. However, after adopting somewhat extreme economic measures, including jailing the responsible bankers, their GDP per capita is now in the top ten globally an Iceland was even ranked 4th in the 2020 World Happiness Report by the United Nations. The event, from near economic disaster to recovery and happiness, is known as the Icelandic miracle. In recent years, Iceland has actively pursued film and tourism development and was the shooting location of the Game of Thrones.
