To get to Iceland you either have to go on a airplane or a boat. There are no railroads in Iceland so you can't take a train anywhere. To get around town you have to go by car or bus. Except for the cities most of the roads are gravel. Most people in Iceland get around by the buses rather than a car.Iceland also has telephones, TV's, radios, and newspapers-magazines.
