The flag of Iceland consists of a blue base with a red cross bordered in white. This cross represents Iceland's Scandinavian connection. The vertical stripe of the cross is towards the left side of the flag, leaving the cross uncentered.
What does it mean?
The designer of the flag, Matthias Thordarson, has another explanation for the colors: blue represents the mountains, the white color is for snow and red for fire and lava, as Iceland has much volcanic activity. Furthermore, the Icelandic flag is a reversed version of the Norwegian flag and it reflects Iceland's early ancestral link to Norway. It also incorporates the red and white of Denmark's flag.
