My parents were stationed for two years at the NATO base in Keflavic, Iceland (when my dad was still in the Navy) and they loved their time there.
If you stay only in the capital, then it is still good, but perhaps not that different from other places. But if you have a chance to get out and see a bit, it is a fascinating country. (I spent a bit of time there when I flew over to meet my parents before we toured England and Norway.)
It is one of the few (only?) places on earth where you have both volcanoes and glaciers in close proximity. Some of the ice scenes from the recent film, Intersteller, were filmed in Iceland and some of the NASA astronauts that went to the moon trained on the lava flows in Iceland.
