Mind-Blowing Iceland Facts to Make You Fall in Love with the Country
Midnight Sun Phenomenon
During the summer months in Iceland, the sun shines for up to 21 hours a day, creating a mesmerizing phenomenon known as the ‘midnight sun.’ It is a period of time where daylight lingers until almost midnight and this lasts for a few days each year.
Most stores close around 5:00 p.m. and reopen the following morning at 9:00 a.m. However, souvenir shops in cities like Reykjavik often stay open later to accommodate the tourist trade. So if you’re out shopping for souvenirs in Reykjavik, don’t be shocked if it’s still light out at 10:00 p.m.
