Reykjavik est la capitale de l'Islande. Elle se situe à environ 250 km au sud du cercle polaire arctique, ce qui en fait la capitale la plus septentrionale d'un État souverain. Elle s'étale entre deux fjords, dans une zone comptant de nombreuses sources chaudes, le long d'une baie. Elle est ainsi considérée comme la ville la « plus verte du monde » : on y compte environ 410 m2 d'espaces verts par habitant.
