With 330,000 inhabitants surrounded by volcanoes, glaciers and geysers, Iceland is an unusual destination for refugees fleeing war in Syria. But since 2015, around 118 Syrians have found hope for a new and tranquil life in the Nordic nation, some 3,000 miles from home – and only 60 miles from the Arctic Circle. The refugees must adjust to moving from the Middle East to a country with just three hours of sunlight a day in winter, and temperatures frequently falling below zero.
