Gender Equality
Iceland is known for being one of the best places for gender equality, dating back to 1917, when the country granted women and men equal rights over their children. In 2000, they enacted the Act on Equal Status and Equal Rights Irrespective of Gender in order to prevent discrimination. Many women are business owners in Iceland as well.

No More McDonald’s
While you might be able to get a Big Mac in many countries outside of the U.S., Iceland is not one of them. The last McDonald’s in Iceland officially closed down in 2009 and there has not been another one opened since then. There is also not a single Starbucks to be found here either.
