Iceland’s flag consists of a deep blue field representing the Atlantic Ocean and sky, a red Nordic cross symbolizing the country’s volcanic fires, and a white fimbriation signifying snow and ice. Designed by Matthías Þórkelsso, it was officially adopted upon independence from Denmark in 1944. The proportions are 18:11, with the cross offset toward the hoist side, following traditional Nordic flag design.
