Iceland is usually a bit warmer than where I live in Canada. Road closures aren’t normal in the city where I am now, but where I grew up driving lessons included learning how to navigate in drifting snow and shovelling the car out of a snowdrift. We didn’t close roads. We’d just wait and line up behind a snowplough in a car well-stocked with emergency gear. I’ve also lived in northern Canada where the daylight hours were few as well. Sounds like a winter vacation in Iceland relaxing by a warm fire reading and knitting, with a bit of snowshoeing would be wonderful and a good way to learn a bit of Icelandic for a summer visit.
yeah you guys have some proper cold temperatures up there from what I see online 😀 And you are right it's definitely a good time of they year to take things slow :)
I’ve had really good luck with my photo gloves from The Heat Company. They’re very versatile and with the liner glove and the ability to attach a chemical heat pack, they keep my hands warm here at home in Maine in the US and when I’ve been in Iceland and in Alaska.
Hi Jan, I was wondering, could you explain how the Safetravel app works? I tried installing it last summer, but they asked me to provide a contact person in case of an emergency. I'm a bit confused because I thought the app's main purpose was to regularly check in with the traveler and take action if needed. I even reached out to their team to ask why I should list someone, but I'm still unsure about how the app functions. They never responden to my question by the way 🤪. I'd love to see the Northern Lights in Iceland. I'm considering coming over between September and February.
Love Iceland ❤❤ From India 🇮🇳
