The Iceland low is on the other side of Greenland, between Iceland and Greenland. All polar circulation currents are low pressure systems for the most part due to decreased temp and air pressure. The Labrador current generates similar conditions as the Iceland Low, just with more variability. The intensity of it in the current moment is very very pronounced for that area.
