The Reality Reports

A Country Shaped By Water: Iceland is surrounded by the North Atlantic Ocean and filled with rivers, lakes, and geothermal pools. Water is part of daily life, but it can also be dangerous. Cold temperatures, strong currents, and sudden weather changes make drowning a real risk. Because of this, Iceland made swimming a required skill for all children. The goal is simple: make sure everyone knows how to stay safe in water.
