more than half of the island's 260,000 inhabitants live in reykjavík, the most northerly national capitalcally, economically and culturally attached to europe. yet they have resisted membership in the european union-- mostly to avoid opening their rich fishing grounds to continental boats. they are trying to protect one of the highest standards of living in the world, all thanks to the productivity of their fishery. so why is it so good? it's a matter of geography. the gulf stream brings warmer water and air from the south, moderating iceland's climate. in the shallower water surrounding iceland, shown in light blue, the warm water mixes with colder, arctic currents from the north. where they meet, vortices form that pull nutrients up from the bottom. tiny microscopic plankton flourish in the long summer days, fueling a feeding frenzy for fish and providing a foundation for iceland's economy. but the mixing of arctic and tropical water also make these seas treacherous for fishermen. frequent storms constantly threaten the lives of fishermen like oskar thorinsson.
