      It was surprisingly temperate. We drove the entire country and I would not recommend the NE corner as it was all snow, but the South usually stays around 8c and Reykjavik was hovering around 5c the whole time. The coldest I saw was at 1a in Þingvellir National Park and that was -8c (23f-ish).

      The Northern Lights were absolutely breathtaking and going in summer keeps that from happening.

        I live in Imperial Beach, lol. I shivered just reading 8°C. Our average temperature is about 20°C. I’d be bundled up even in summer.

          Ha, that is completely understandable. I live in Seattle so I am definitely a little more acclimated to the colder weather. Average is 11 this time of year.
