Hi!
amusing error on the SE website here
European country selection shows Island instead of Iceland
I am sure there are threads here showing website errors! Will do a sreach as they usually raise a laugh!!

Hmm... all of us are living in an island, albeit at various sizes (eurasia, america, antartica, greenland, australia and so on)
Although that thing's hilarious!

in fact, if you notice, each country is listed by how the country is named in its own language. Iceland is Island
edit: or to be more precise... Ísland
