Daylight
During summer the nights are
bright in all of Iceland. In the month of June the sun never fully sets
in the north. There are even special excursions to the island of
Grímsey on the Arctic Circle where you can experience the midnight
sun.The darkest months are December and January. From February onwards
daylight is quickly increasing overtaking the daylight span from Central
Europe in March.
