Christmas and New Year are not only the darkest times of the year but also when Icelanders indulge in delicious food, wine, and quality time with family. It’s a time to make memories while enjoying activities like swimming and skiing.
You never know how the weather will be this time of year. However, this year, the weather gods have been kind to us, and we have been blessed with beautiful weather in some parts of Iceland. Of course, the Icelandic Times/Land & Saga took advantage of the great weather and captured some stunning photographs. Here are a few samples.
