Frequently Asked Questions
What are Iceland's main security forces?
Iceland is the only NATO country without a military. Security relies on National Police Ríkislögreglan ~1,500 officers (the only armed body), KÍB intelligence, Coast Guard for the EEZ, and the Viking Squad for counter-terrorism.
How does Iceland manage volcanic eruptions?
Almannavarnir (Civil Protection) coordinates evacuations using seismic data from IMO and 600+ SÍNET sensors. The alert system includes color levels (green/yellow/orange/red) and specific evacuation plans for each volcanic zone.
What is the significance of Keflavík Base for NATO?
Keflavík is strategic for NATO in the North Atlantic — controls the GIUK gap (Greenland-Iceland-UK) to detect Russian submarines. The US withdrew troops in 2006; NATO resumed IAMD operations in 2016 due to renewed Russian threat.
