As a 72-year old Icelandic local I was a bit taken aback by your observation about the "skammdegi" (lit. "short days") having a calming effect on you, but it did not take much reflection to realize you are absolutely correct - this time of year DOES have that effect on me as well, I'm just so used to it that I never really paid it any attention.
Hey been looking for a blogger in Iceland for a while and saw you! Never been to Iceland but it’s the number one country I would love to travel to although in the summer! Winters in the UK are dark enough for me!
Hi there Scott! You found me here on RUclips but I'm also active on Instagram (@icelandwithaview) and my website has ALLLL the stuff - videos, blog posts, packing lists, guidebooks, digital maps, pre-planned itineraries, and I even do custom itinerary planning for your best. trip. ever. ~ icelandwithaview.com ~ I hope you find my content helpful!
I’m in the middle of.Canada (Winnipeg, Manitoba). The sun rose today at 8:24 and set at 4:46. We’ve already added about 20 minutes of daylight or so. It’s probably good that we have long nights the winter and long days in the summer; it would have made my Icelandic ancestors feel a little more at home while they went through hell to survive! But they were tough !
NYC because of it's location actually has quite a lot of winter daylight & sunlight hours compared to many other cities worldwide. Whereas here in Scotland (and the UK) our winters are gloomy mostly grey skies. And gets dark early by only 4pm. Genetics probably play a big part why some people don't get affected as much mood and energy wise by living in places with low daylight/sunlight hours.
I lived in Finland and this is wild for me because it's SO MUCH DARKER in Iceland. I can hardly believe it. Love your videos; thanks so much from one Wisconsinite to another!
I remember the sun coming up at about 10:30 AM and going down at around 2:30 PM in December...I was stationed at Keflavik NAS with the U.S. Air Force (57th Fighter Interceptor Squadron (FIS) from May 1976 ~ May 1977.
Watching this vid to help me cool off. Today, June 28th 2023 was one of the hottest days of this year in New Orleans 96F! But factor in the humidity and the temp/ heat index it's a whopping 110F! Ugh!
Just came back from Reykjavik and can’t wait to go there again. The people are lovey, great landscapes, great cafes, terrific restaurants, no pollution, barely any traffic and no violence or drunks everywhere. What is the UK getting so wrong. I couldn’t believe how laid back the people are in Iceland too. Even the bus drivers will do anything to help you.
It really is quite amazing! Life in Iceland is so peaceful and joyful, even when the weather shuts down the city and the sun only shines for a few hours. There's just something about Iceland... 😇
That is so wonderful to hear as I will possibly be visiting there next year. I only hear great things about Reykjavik & Iceland in general & I'm super excited to go!
You will love it. We went there in the freezing cold and it didn’t do anything to distract us from having a great time. As for the Blue Lagoon, simply amazing. What an experience that was.
Was just in Iceland this weekend (just in time for the snowstorm!) and felt like I was losing sense of time with it being completely nighttime until like 10:30am. One of the many things so cool and unique about Iceland!
I thought nights were long in Scotland during the Winter, but today the sun rises at 8:44am whereas in Iceland it’s 11:22am! 😮 Sunset is only 7 minutes later today though at 3:37pm in Scotland and 3:30pm in Iceland.
Try not to start your day with coffee that soon if you can avoid it, it might be the reason you are crashing early in the nighttime. I've heard 90 minutes after waking up is the least amount of time you should abstain from coffee. I've tried it now for a couple of weeks and it's helping me from passing out when I stumble inside the door from work and I'm a heavy coffee drinker.
Oh man. That is my kind of life! ❤ I love long nights, and I'm huge winter fanatic. I live for it. I can't stand Temps above 68 degrees. The hot, humid midwest is awful this time of year. I see you guys are in the 50s and raining all week over there. Lucky duckies ❤
I was there two weeks ago hoping to catch snow but sadly did not manage to. Had a wonderful 10 days in Iceland. It is really beautiful and those Icelandic horses, love :)
I was told the Icelandic horses may not be exported because the Iceland folks don't want the breed diluted. It was fun watching them romp on a cold winter day.
I thought it was dark close to 24 hours. But at least you have 4 full hours of sun. That is a lot. Something I remember from Iceland was that the sunsets lasted longer than in the US. It was an amazing experience.
North Iceland and the Westfjords have less than 3 hours of full sun on Winter Solstice and yes, twilight hours around the Winter Solstice are about 1 hr and 20 minutes which helps A LOT!
I was once in Scot at the summer solstice. Had a hard time falling asleep as it still light at 3:00 am. Do you have black-out blinds for the summer months?
At least there are some hours of light during each day. Further north on Svalbard, they have four months of total darkness, then in the summer they have four months of daylight. I could probably deal with Iceland since I am a night person.
Great vids! Roughly 20 hours of darkness. I'm a night owl, so I think I'd enjoy it. When living on the Mendocino Coast, CA, I loved the fog, rain, drizzle, cooler temps. So think Iceland would be wonderful - I do welk in extremes.
4:12 as someone from the UK, I would actually say that's not a very short amount of sunlight. In the UK, for the past week or so, we got no sunlight apart from around 9am-3pm. Which isn't as low as there, but the sun doesn't really shine or become bright in the winter, which is nice because I don't like the sun that much.
After being there 2 weeks ago for a wedding, the church you show while by the lake/stream, the Preacher, for lack of a better word, was the officiating at the wedding, from the Free Church….neat. We toured that area and drove by it daily….
I get more energy in longer sunny days! I live in eastern Washington state. I take St. John’s Wort for seasonal dark days! I just got a happy light! Hope it makes me happy!😂 Do people in Ice Land use them?
LOVE your channel!!! We are just about to finish our 12 day loop of the country. I devoured many of your videos before our trip and they were very helpful. It has been much better trip than we even expected - and we had high expectations! A couple of thought for future videos. Restaurants were a bit of culture shock. It took us a while to realize that even fine dining restaurants expect you to go pay at the front. Also, we have yet to be shown our bill before we pay. Most of the places we ate would seat us, and then not approach our table until we flagged them down, and that was often 10 minutes or so. This meant that we couldn’t order a drink to have before dinner. Once we understood, it was fine. But it took a while to realize the pattern (we are slow) We have been surprised by how many businesses are closed for the winter without any notice on social media or their own website. We have also been surprised how many business are closed for one day of the week. We LOVED our winter trip. It felt like we had the whole country to ourselves! You were so helpful in planning our trip. Thanks!
Hi Dan! Thank you so much for supporting my little business and watching my videos! I'm so happy to have helped you with planning your trip! And thank you for your feedback regarding restaurant culture/expectations as well as business closures in Iceland, I will certainly add these things to my list of future content! As good as Google Maps and Wi-Fi signal is around the country, I think Iceland is still behind in using the internet and has some adjusting to do when it comes to catering to tourists and their expectations. I know that many businesses in the US, particularly retail, are open everyday and at the very least use Facebook or their website to post about closing times. Despite the lack of preparation for these things, if you'd be willing, I'd really appreciate a review on my Google page (g.page/r/CcNakSXbieLcEB0/review)! Thanks again for watching!
Please make more videos like this, i loved it, i'm from guatemala and i would love to go to iceland sometime, i've been before to norway and sweden at this time of the year, I can say i fell in love with Nordic countries
Love the long twilight and predawn! I’m in Oregon, we are further east relative to our time zone and further south (obviously). Our sunrise is much earlier (8), and our sunset a little later (4) but your twilight may last longer into the evening! Loved that comfy sweater, too!
Thanks Wendy! Civil Twilight on December 21st is officially 1 hr, 20 min on either side of sunrise and sunset which really helps add to the time you have to sightsee - driving during twilight so that you're at your destination with the sun is up = BEST PLAN!
Great video again. You guys are visiting great locations. I'd love to know about the these lovely places. Cool that we are early subscribers, soon you will have thousands. 😊
That is so cozy but must be challenging with the snow storm now for the population of 387,000 who now reside in Iceland. Several hundred flying to Tenerife :)
Just returned from Reykjavik after flight cancellation the day before yesterday due to snow.But the trip was fabulous. All your tips were useful Jennie.Did the Blue Lagoon Golden Circle saw the Aurora and did Perlan.Perlan took 4 hours for me.Of all the tips the one I found most useful was the Cramp ons. Folks if you are going to Iceland do not go without cramp ons.Thanks a lot Jennie.
Thank you so much! Crampons are often forgotten but oh so essential! I'm sorry to hear about your flight cancellation but very happy that you enjoyed Iceland. If you'd like to leave a review for my Google Business page, I would really appreciate it!
@@IcelandwithaView thanks Jennie but i do not know how to navigate the Google Business page section where we can leave the comment.if you have time please help me how to comment on Google business.i do not use FB or Twitter.More than happy to recommned your site for those wishing to travel to Iceland.Lastly i am planning another trip next year but wanted to your iceland course.is this subscription for life or for a limited time.thanks .
Loved your video. I worked in Alaska for 3 months from Sept to Dec and this video reminds so much of that time. I used to describe the daylight to my friends like it being 5PM all the time. Ironically, when I was there in June with my kids (and your site guided my whole vacay there), I found daylight at night very difficult to adjust to, even with shades pulled and sleep mask on. Anyway, even though my trip is in the past, love your posts and will follow them because I WANT TO GO BACK. F
The one thing that I craved returning home after our trip to Iceland this summer was darkness. I loved the hours of light that allowed for many more hours of exploration..but 10 days without pure darkness did make me feel uneasy ay the end if our trip. I do understand your thoughts that the dark calms.
Yes! Such a conundrum! Many folks don't realize how too much sunlight can be just as or even more difficult than so little! I wonder how the Vikings dealt with it??
Hi ! I'm so glad I found your channel. We're visiting Iceland in November. We wanted to tour the Snæfellsnes Peninsula on the 23rd, then have our "Thanksgiving Dinner" in Stykkisholmur. (We're from USA). You couldn't see the landscape until a certain amount of light was out. Now I'm wondering if that part of our trip will be worth it. Sunrise and Sunset at Stkkishomur will be 10:35am to 3:58pm. What do you think? I was also hoping to see Northern Lights at the end of your video. Did they come out for you?
Do they sell the UV lights in Iceland that I've heard other far northern countries have to help people keep depression at bay? I've been to Iceland during the very late winter and it was light till after 10pm and my wife and I were amazed and confused at that. All in all Iceland is an absolutely amazingly beautiful land and the Icelandic people are very accommodating and polite.
Yeah, there are lamps with UVB radiation, also taking D vitamins helps a lot, we've had a company that produces supplements from cod liver with high levels of D for a long time. Hope that helps.
Hi Bruno!

Hi Tony! What a great place to visit for your first trip! You're going to have an awesome time in Iceland! REAL ID is for US domestic flights and is not required until May 2025 (www.dhs.gov/real-id). You will need a passport though!
Madam , you are residing for a bit of long time. How much are the properties prices there for 2bhk or 3bhk homes with good enough land around the city . Please be kind enough to reply.
Hi Tebbani! Transportation between cities is best done on your own in a rental car or with a guided tour. Taxi service is VERY expensive and services like Uber and Lyft don't exist in Iceland. The public transportation system (bus) is only within Reykjavik.
Hi Ellie! It depends on where you're going and what you're doing! Here's my video about the best shoes for Iceland: icelandwithaview.com/5-shoes-you-need-to-pack-for-your-iceland-trip/
How is crime in Iceland. It’s so bad in all of America. It really. Do y’all love it being cold all the time and do y’all have churches. What is the main religion in iceland
I find the darkness soothing and snuggling me like a warm blanket. I do not feel depressed at all, just a feeling of mellow contentment.
As a 72-year old Icelandic local I was a bit taken aback by your observation about the "skammdegi" (lit. "short days") having a calming effect on you, but it did not take much reflection to realize you are absolutely correct - this time of year DOES have that effect on me as well, I'm just so used to it that I never really paid it any attention.
Thank you so much for watching, Halfdan! Have a very peaceful solstice!
Amazing and wonderful! 😍
Can’t wait for my trip to Iceland at the end of February
I find all your content so interesting. Thank you. Happy Solstice
Thanks so much Brenda! I love making these videos and helping fellow travelers experience the majesty of Iceland!
About hiking. It’s possible all year around! Now we just bring suitable clothes and headlamps it’s still so much fun 😃

Its not unique to Iceland - the whole Nordic region has similarly short days in the winter - shorter still above the arctic circle/
This is fascinating 😊

You're totally right! I can't even imagine ZERO daylight, especially for that long!
My all time favorite video ❤🎉😊
Personally, i enjoy the dark time more than the midnight sun. I cannot sleep well in summer - but i can hibernate all winter.
Working in the Telcom industry, going to work in the dark or coming home in the dark or both is noting out of the ordinary.
Great vids! Roughly 20 hours of darkness. I'm a night owl, so I think I'd enjoy it.
When living on the Mendocino Coast, CA, I loved the fog, rain, drizzle, cooler temps. So think Iceland would be wonderful - I do welk in extremes.

Love your "up close and personal" content. Another winter solstice draws near. Hope it's a soothing as when you made this awesome vid.

You've been having some colder than normal weather up there. The gulf stream helps Iceland. Doesn't look its doing much now.
I agree, Jeannie- I thought summers were more difficult as well (though it’s great for exploring!)
I get more energy in longer sunny days! I live in eastern Washington state. I take St. John’s Wort for seasonal dark days! I just got a happy light! Hope it makes me happy!😂 Do people in Ice Land use them?

Hi! Love your videos... Was watching the march one yesterday planning for a trip.
Is it doable to drive to Hengifoss late in march?
Hi Bruno! Yes, the roads to Hengifoss are open year round (DO NOT take the shortcut on 95 at that time of year) but you'll need to keep a close eye on the road conditions at road.is ~ You MUST have crampons and be prepared for the trail to be icy & snowy - you may not be able to make it all the way to the waterfall but should be able to get to the main viewing platform. I also recommend going in the middle of the day so that the sunshine, if any, can help with snow and ice melt.
@@IcelandwithaView that´s smething that worries me... I live in Brazil, but I´m used to cold and snow cause I´ve lived in Canada for a few years.

q3 (sorry): loved your highlands video. Maelifell is no way in march? that shot with the black road and the mountain on the back should be in your wall already!

Thanks :) A question: if someone goes out of R. in the darkness, are the roads lit, or is there only as much light as much the cars' headlights give?
Can you make more of these
I've never traveled before and I'm planning on visiting Iceland this year. Do I need a REAL ID?
Hi Tony! What a great place to visit for your first trip! You're going to have an awesome time in Iceland! REAL ID is for US domestic flights and is not required until May 2025 (www.dhs.gov/real-id). You will need a passport though!

Hi, is there transportation between cities in Iceland?
Hi Tebbani! Transportation between cities is best done on your own in a rental car or with a guided tour. Taxi service is VERY expensive and services like Uber and Lyft don't exist in Iceland. The public transportation system (bus) is only within Reykjavik.
Is there a lot. Of car accidents since y’all have to drive in the snow all the time
3:14 Why would you heat it? The car is already made to trap heat. And 2°C isn't really warm, It's a chilly temperature.
I just found your channel so that’s why I’m asking all these questions. How many children do yall have
