From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Island       (Heb. 'i, "dry land," as opposed to water) occurs in its usual       signification (Isa. 42:4, 10, 12, 15, comp. Jer. 47:4), but more       frequently simply denotes a maritime region or sea-coast (Isa.       20:6, R.V.," coastland;" 23:2, 6; Jer. 2:10; Ezek. 27:6, 7).       (See {CHITTIM}.) The shores of the Mediterranean are       called the "islands of the sea" (Isa. 11:11), or the "isles of       the Gentiles" (Gen. 10:5), and sometimes simply "isles" (Ps.       72:10); Ezek. 26:15, 18; 27:3, 35; Dan. 11:18).

The    economy is heavily dependent on the fishing industry, which provides    nearly 75% of export earnings and employs 12% of the work force. In    the absence of other natural resources - except energy - Iceland's    economy is vulnerable to changing world fish prices. The economy, in    recession since 1988, began to recover in 1993, posting 0.4% growth,    but was still hampered by cutbacks in fish quotas as well as falling    world prices for its main exports: fish and fish products, aluminum,    and ferrosilicon. Real GDP grew by perhaps 2.4% in 1994. The    center-right government plans to continue its policies of reducing the    budget and current account deficits, limiting foreign borrowing,    containing inflation, revising agricultural and fishing policies,    diversifying the economy, and privatizing state-owned industries. The    government, however, remains divided on the issue of EU membership,    primarily because of Icelanders' concern about losing control over    their fishing resources.       National product: GDP - purchasing power parity - $4.5 billion (1994    est.)       National product real growth rate: 2.4% (1994 est.)       National product per capita: $17,250 (1994 est.)       Inflation rate (consumer prices): 1.3% (1994 est.)       Unemployment rate: 7% (1994 est.)       Budget:    revenues: $1.9 billion    expenditures: $2.1 billion, including capital expenditures of $NA    (1994 est.)       Exports: $1.4 billion (f.o.b., 1993)    commodities: fish and fish products, animal products, aluminum,    ferrosilicon, diatomite    partners: EC 68% (UK 25%, Germany 12%), US 11%, Japan 8% (1992)       Imports: $1.3 billion (c.i.f., 1993)    commodities: machinery and transportation equipment, petroleum    products, foodstuffs, textiles    partners: EC 53% (Germany 14%, Denmark 10%, UK 9%), Norway 14%, US 9%    (1992)       External debt: $2.5 billion (1993 est.)       Industrial production: growth rate 1.75% (1991 est.)       Electricity:    capacity: 1,070,000 kW    production: 4.7 billion kWh    consumption per capita: 16,458 kWh (1993)       Industries: fish processing, aluminum smelting, ferro-silicon    production, geothermal power       Agriculture: accounts for about 15% of GDP; fishing is most important    economic activity, contributing nearly 75% to export earnings;    principal crops - potatoes, turnips; livestock - cattle, sheep; fish    catch of about 1.1 million metric tons in 1992       Economic aid:    recipient: US commitments, including Ex-Im (FY70-81), $19.1 million       Currency: 1 Icelandic krona (IKr) = 100 aurar       Exchange rates: Icelandic kronur (IKr) per US$1 - 67.760 (January    1995), 69.944 (1994), 67.603 (1993), 57.546 (1992), 58.996 (1991),    58.284 (1990)       Fiscal year: calendar year       Iceland:Transportation       Railroads: 0 km       Highways:    total: 11,373 km    paved: 2,513 km    unpaved: gravel, earth 8,860 km (1992)       Ports: Akureyri, Hornafjordur, Isafjordur, Keflavik, Raufarhofn,    Reykjavik, Seydhisfjordhur, Straumsvik, Vestmannaeyjar       Merchant marine:    total: 6 ships (1,000 GRT or over) totaling 30,025 GRT/40,410 DWT    ships by type: cargo 1, chemical tanker 1, oil tanker 1, refrigerated    cargo 1, roll-on/roll-off cargo 2       Airports:    total: 90    with paved runways over 3,047 m: 1    with paved runways 1,524 to 2,437 m: 3    with paved runways 914 to 1,523 m: 6    with paved runways under 914 m: 53    with unpaved runways 1,524 to 2,437 m: 4    with unpaved runways 914 to 1,523 m: 23       Iceland:Communications       Telephone system: 140,000 telephones; adequate domestic service    local: NA    intercity: the trunk network consists of coaxial and fiber-optic    cables and microwave radio relay links    international: 2 earth stations carry all international traffic    through an Atlantic Ocean INTELSAT satellite       Radio:    broadcast stations: AM 5, FM 147 (transmitters and repeaters),    shortwave 0    radios: NA       Television:    broadcast stations: 202 (transmitters and repeaters)    televisions: NA       Iceland:Defense Forces       Branches: no regular armed forces; Police, Coast Guard; note -    Iceland's defense is provided by the US-manned Icelandic Defense Force    (IDF) headquartered at Keflavik       Manpower availability: males age 15-49 70,743; males fit for military    service 62,698 (1995 est.)       Defense expenditures: none
