Winter self-drive break in Iceland

During the summer months of June to September, expect patchy sun and temperatures in the mid to high teens. Roads are open, lowlands are green, whales are breaching and birds are plentiful. The sky hardly dims at all throughout these months, which can be a little disorientating. During the winter, temperatures are unlikely to break double figures either side of zero, and windchill is definitely a factor to consider when packing. Gasping at the beauty of snow-clad scenes, long nights in warm bars and aurora chasing are what defines an Icelandic winter adventure. With preparation, Iceland is a year round destination.
