Is Iceland cold?

Iceland can get summer-like weather. Depends on the time of year.

Ramona-please step back!

um..I just wonder where they came up with the name, don't you?
Iceland is warmer than its chilly name suggests. Warmed by the Gulf Stream, the Icelandic winters are relatively mild, with average temperature in January 2004 about -0.2 Â°C; the average summer temperature is around 12-13 Â°C with highs reaching 25 Â°C. During the hardest winter months, Iceland is known for its limited sunlight which, coupled with the islandâ€™s northerly location, makes it one of the best places on earth to see the Northern Lights. October through April, when weather conditions are favourable, you can see the kaleidoscopic Aurora Borealis light up the dark winter sky, a spectacular phenomenon not to be missed. Iceland more than makes up for this lack of sunlight during the summer time; May through August provides long days with bright nights, and the midnight sun is especially prevalent in June.

No back then these guys (I forgot what they were called) gve iceland that name so no one would go there and they gave the name Greenland to a very cold place so everyone would go there and get tricked.

Technically Iceland doesn't really get that cold, especially around the southwest coast where the Gulf Stream warms up the coastline. It doesn't even snow that much compared to most other countries. What you've really got to worry about is the wind chill. The wind coming off the cold Atlantic can kill. The actual temperature is bearable, but the wind chill can bring that number down to 15-20 below sometimes.

Sarah

Nope, it's actually warm. Greenland is cold.
