Iceland Flag GIF (íslenski fáninn)



The flag of Iceland (Icelandic: íslenski fáninn) consists of a blue field with a red cross on a large white cross. The crosses represent Christianity. The colors represent three of the elements that make up the island. The red color refers to the fire produced by the island's volcanoes. The color white symbolizes the ice and snow covering the country. Blue is based on the blue mountains. The height-to-width ratio of the flag is 18:25, and the flag was adopted in 1944.

The shield, in the form of a vertical national flag in its coat of arms, is supported by the four protectors of Iceland: the bull, the protector of Northwest Iceland; the eagle, the protector of Northeast Iceland; the dragon, the protector of the southeast; and the rock giant, the protector of the southwest.

The Iceland flag is waving on a flagpole rising from the globe.
Iceland is a Nordic island country in the North Atlantic Ocean in Europe. Its capital is Reykjavik, and its population is about 372,295 (2021).
