We’ve had a particularly white Christmas in Iceland this year. Reykjavík had the greatest snow depth ever measured in December (33cm) and although most of it came down on December 29th, the city was white almost the whole month. Although some find it tedious to dig their cars out in the morning, I and many others enjoyed it a lot. It created a rather cheerful spirit of helpfulness around the city. People went out of their way to help others push, pull and dig out stuck cars. It gave lots of chances to get to know neighbors and random people.
The video shows clips from the news. I spent a sleepless night out in the snow driving a super jeep from the rescue team pulling stuck cars and a helping out. The snow cover also made yesterday’s New Year’s Eve particularly nice. If you missed the Icelandic New Year’s Eve fireworks bonanza, the formerly live webcam is now showing a rerun of midnight.
The most interesting pictures from Iceland. Photos of Reykjavík, photos of Icelandic People, pictures of Icelandic Nature and Iceland Travel.
I'm heavily affiliated with Iceland and proud of it. Lived most of my life in Iceland but spent enough time abroad to truly appreciate Iceland's uniqueness.
