The entrance to Kviabryggja Prison in western Iceland sits between the Atlantic Ocean and lava fields on April 8, 2016 in Grundarfjordur, Iceland. Numerous bankers and executives, after having been convicted of wrong doing after the 2008 banking crisis in Iceland, have been sentenced to the prison which consists of a complex of old farmhouses. Icelandic Prime Minister Sigmundur David Gunnlaugsson has stepped down after news broke last Sunday that he had hid his assets in an offshore shell-company whose existence was revealed by the Panama Papers. Numerous leaders around the world as well as wealthy individuals have been caught-up in the developing scandal. The island nation of just 320,000 people had only recently recovered from the global banking collapse in 2008. (Photo by Spencer Platt/Getty Images)
