Iceland 4′ x 6′ Indoor Nylon Flag w/ Pole Sleeve & Fringe

Iceland’s first national flag was a white cross on a deep blue background. The modern flag dates from 1915, when a red cross was inserted into the white cross of the original flag. This cross represents Christianity. It was adopted and became the national flag when Iceland gained independence from Denmark in 1918. For the Icelandic people the flag’s coloring represents a vision of their country’s landscape. The colors stand for 3 of the elements that make up the island. Red is the fire produced by the island’s volcanoes, white recalls the ice and snow that covers Iceland, and blue is for the mountains of the island. ⚠ Prop 65 WARNING
