Borrowed from Icelandic Ísland (“Iceland”), probably via other European languages. The more recent spelling (Īslande, with a long ī) apparently reflects the original Icelandic pronunciation better.

1. Iceland (island country in Northern Europe, with Reykjavik as its capitals)

   Islandes karogs ― the flag of Iceland

   Nīderlandes karaliene ― the queen of the Netherlands

The forms with a long ī (Īslande and derived terms, like īslandietis, īslandisks, etc.) have been recently (in 2007) proposed as correct, but the forms with a short i (Islande, islandietis, islandisks, etc.) are still more frequently used.
