is to
properly handle furniture and other interior objects so that they do not fall
off in the event of an earthquake. The effects of an earthquake on the
Reykjanes Peninsula, can be felt in a large area, and the capital area is not
excluded.The Scientific Advisory Board, therefore, encourages
people to check with their home and workplaces and fix unstable hanging
objects. Information on earthquake

During summertime tourists should bring a windbreaker, rainwear, a thick pullover (wool or fleece) and sturdy walking shoes. Travellers who are camping or heading into the interior will need warm underwear and socks, rubber boots and a warm sleeping bag.
During wintertime tourist should bring warm clothing, warm

During wintertime tourist should bring warm clothing, warm coat, mittens etc. Iceland has many swimming pools, usually with geothermally heated water. Hence, in either season a visitor should bring a swim suit

Arctic sea ice extent has shrunk by 2.7 [2.1 to 3.3]%
per decade, with larger decreases in summer of 7.4 [5.0 to 9.8]%
per decade. Mountain glaciers and snow cover on average have
declined in both hemispheres. The maximum areal extent of sea-
sonally frozen ground has decreased by about 7% in the Northern
Hemisphere since 1900, with decreases in spring of up to 15%.
