It might surprise people that despite volcanic eruptions and earthquakes, Iceland is considered one of the safest choices for travelling. On tourism-review.com, Iceland is among the ten safest countries in the world but the results from that assessment are based on low crime rate and low prisoner rate per capita.
Icelandic Tourist Board points out two travel safety assessments. On one hand there are results from the previous mentioned assessment from tourism.review.comwhere Iceland, Norway, Switzerland, Luxembourg and Ireland are considered to be the safest countries to visit and on the other hand an assessment from opentravel.com where the most dangerous volcanoes in the world are listed but Iceland and Eyjafjallajökull are not mentioned.
