The flag of Iceland has been used since 1913. It was officially adopted on June 19, 1915 (when Iceland was a territory of Denmark). On June 17, 1944, Iceland became an independent republic, and the flag was again chosen to symbolize the Republic of Iceland.
The Icelandic flag is a Scandinavian cross, with fire-red off-set cross outlined in snow-white on a deep sky-blue field. The flag is a reverse color image of the Flag of Norway (the reds and blues are reversed - the white stays the same). The ratio of the flag's width to length is 25:18.
