​​Whether you’re planning a trip to Iceland or are just curious about the changeble weather, here’s a deep dive into what makes Iceland’s weather so unique.

Unlike many other countries with well-defined seasons, Iceland experiences rapid and sometimes unpredictable shifts in weather.

​We still have all the four seasons of course but they have a way of blending with eachother and you never know what you can expect when you step out the door. 

You may have read or heard about it in the news, that another volcanic eruption in Iceland is expected any day now. Overall, the Reykjanes Peninsula in the southwest of Iceland has witnessed eight volcanic eruptions since 2021. Fortunately, the Icelandic Meteorological Office, backed by a global team of geoscientists, meticulously monitors the area, to keep everybody safe.
Sounds scary? Not really – but let´s take a closer look!

​Turning 60 is a milestone meant to be celebrated in grand style! It's a time to gather friends and family to recognize a life well-lived and the journey ahead.

​When you think of the last milestone birthday party you attended, a large, crowded reception area with many dressed up people likely comes to mind.

​Last week, the Exploring Iceland Office team participated in the Reykjavík venue HITTUMST in downtown Reykjavík, where tourism service providers met to showcase what Reykjavík and sourroundings have to offer. Hotels, restaurants, museums, whale watching companies, and other activity providers were on site, offering guests from the tourism sector and others insight into the many different options travellers have when they stay in the capital area.

As we all prepare for the summer, we want to start a new series on our blog called "Amazing Places, Inspiring People of Iceland," where we, the locals, share stories about our favorite locations, where we spend our free time, and the people who inspire us. 
Meike will kick off the series by telling us about a special place near her farm in South Iceland.
