As Christmas Eve arrives, the Iceland Review team would like to wish all our readers a warm and peaceful holiday season.
This year’s celebrations come amid stormy winter weather in parts of the country, with strong winds and heavy rain forecast.
While much of Iceland traditionally slows to a standstill on Christmas Eve, the conditions serve as a reminder of the season’s power and the importance of taking care, particularly in areas affected by severe weather.
Note: Iceland Review will take a short break over Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and Boxing Day, with normal coverage resuming on 27 December.
