The Iceland mirror has often been out of date and is now offline. Blame the maintainer/operator Siminn hf.

Unfortunately that is the only Ubuntu mirror in Iceland. Please try one of these up-to-date mirrors that should be close to you, network-wise:

Norway: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+mirror/ftp.blix.eu-archive

Netherlands: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+mirror/nl3.archive.ubuntu.com-archive

UK: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+mirror/ftp.ticklers.org-archive

You can change them from Software Sources in the Software Center, or press Alt+F2 and run gksudo software-properties-gtk, and see the below answer:

How can I get apt to use a mirror close to me, or choose a faster mirror?
