Summary: A general look at Iceland in 1968, shot in a travelogue style.
Description: After opening footage of volcanoes and glaciers, the origins and traditions of this NATO partner are shown, including the Alpting (parliament). Its strategic contribution to the Atlantic Community is described; although Iceland has no armed forces of its own, it does have a NATO base. Its recent economic development (hydro electric power) and unique way of life (hot springs, Icelandic ponies, fishing) are illustrated.
