The days are shorter now in Iceland. The sun rises around eleven o’clock, so it’s important to make the most of the daylight by being in the right place. Icelandic Times/Land & Saga recently embarked on a long trip to experience Iceland in winter mode at the beginning of the year. Many people, primarily tourists, were travelling to breathe in the cold air and experience nature in the southernmost part of the country, specifically in Vestur-Skaftafellssýsla. Despite the icy and challenging driving conditions, the traffic flowed smoothly, and everyone made an effort to get home safely.
