20 curious images of things you’ll only see in Iceland

For those interested in seeing amazing sights and enjoying the sense of adventure that comes with traveling to exotic locations, Iceland should be first on the bucket list. While it’s not for everyone, for those who don’t mind the cold and want to experience something totally out of the ordinary, visiting this winter wonderland is definitely a good plan, as it’s home to some of the most spectacular sights in the world. Explore with us some of the most amazing aspects of Iceland, as well as strange and unusual peculiarities that you definitely won’t find anywhere else.

Cold by day, cold by night

The first thing you should know about Iceland, and we’re sure you already do, is that it gets very cold. Not all year round it stays the same frigid temperature, but for the most part it is known that the weather is not the warmest….

This is perhaps why Icelanders have developed a tolerance that many others from sunnier countries would not be able to withstand. Some girls when out partying are especially resistant to low temperatures – better dead than simple!

Sports fans

Sports are an important part of Icelandic culture and, as you can imagine, when there’s not much to do in such a sparsely populated area, it’s important to find pleasure in entertainment.

While most countries around the world are used to showing support for their favorite sports teams, Icelanders are known to go crazy for sports and their respective national teams or athletes. It is not uncommon to see people showing their support on the streets during sports seasons or events.

Mind-blowing caves

One of the best things about all the cold weather in Iceland is that it creates a number of truly amazing and spectacular natural phenomena to behold. This is just one more of the many ice caves throughout the country.

These are essentially rocky ridges that have frozen into an icy ceiling that creates these incredibly luminescent natural structures. However, you often have to walk to reach them, so be prepared for an adventure!

Snow jams

Extreme climates such as Iceland bring with them a number of problems or curiosities that have to be taken into account when driving in such an environment.

Snow jams are one of those things to watch out for, as no one wants to be left adrift in sub-0 temperatures. It’s important to leave with an appropriate vehicle, so you don’t have to push the car later like these girls do… in mini-skirts… in the snow. So cold!
