Iceland has surpassed Norway as the best country to live in, according to the UNDP Development Index published on November, 27th.  Iceland edged out Norway because of new life expectancy estimates and updated figures for gross domestic product and is now considered the most desirable country to live in.

A recent study by Eurostat showed that Icelandic households have the highest internet access in the EEA. The study also revealed that more Icelandic homes have broadband connection than in the rest of Europe and Iceland tops the list for most internet activities carried out, e.g. use search engines or send e-mail with attachment.
