What you’ll find under this tag

Expect short, timely reports on volcanic activity and flight disruptions, updates on Reykjavik’s economy and tourism numbers, and stories about Iceland’s role in clean energy and fisheries.

Why follow Iceland here? Because we strip away jargon.

Want alerts about aviation delays or ferry routes? We cover those practical implications too.

Practical tips for readers and travellers

Planning to visit? Pack for changeable weather — layers and a waterproof jacket are non-negotiable. Check flight and road updates before heading out; volcanic ash or sudden storms can close routes. Rent a car only if you’re comfortable driving in variable conditions and on gravel roads. Cell coverage is good in towns but thin in remote highlands, so download maps and emergency contacts ahead of time.

Want to catch the Northern Lights? Aim for winter months with clear skies and low light pollution. For warm pools and geothermal sites, go year-round but book popular spots like the Blue Lagoon in advance. Respect local rules around nature sites — Iceland’s fragile landscapes need careful visitors.

Interested in business or climate angles? Iceland is a leader in geothermal energy and has lessons for countries looking to expand renewables. Its fishing industry shapes local jobs and exports. Stories under this tag often highlight how Iceland’s energy and resource choices influence global markets and technical partnerships.

Looking for cultural reads? We cover festivals, music, and everyday life in Reykjavik and beyond. From new restaurant openings to film and sports updates, you’ll get short, engaging pieces that explain why a story matters, not just the headlines.
