Climate
in Iceland
Because of its northern latitude and situation in the Atlantic
ocean, Iceland has a very vigorous climate and high winds are
common.
Thanks to the Gulf stream, Iceland enjoys a cool temperate
ocean climate: cool in summer and fairly mild in winter.
In June, we have light day and night, but in December it is
dark almost night and day.
One of the most famous things about Iceland, is Aurora Borealis,
a phenomenon which only exists in the Arctic and Antarctic
areas. Aurora Borealis is actually traces of small dust 450
miles up in the air, reflecting the sunlight. In the evenings
in Iceland, you can watch the light dancing in the air in various
colours.
