Iceland has a temperate climate despite its position close to the Arctic Circle, but while there, we had dangerously high (and bitter cold) winds which made getting around and capturing the scenery a bit more challenging in the few hours of daylight. Overcast weather did not allow us to see the Northern Lights which we were highly hoping for, maybe next time.
