Which country snows all year round?

Iceland is located at high latitude, but it belongs to temperate maritime climate and is a special climate in the same latitude because of the influence of the North Atlantic warm current and the control of the westerlies.

Influenced by the North Atlantic warm current, it mainly flows out from its south, and there is a branch around its west and north. Therefore, although it is located near the Arctic Circle, the temperature is not low in winter, and the temperature in summer is between 7- 12℃.

Located near the center of low pressure in Iceland, the weather is changeable. Cyclones have brought abundant precipitation to Iceland. The annual average precipitation in southwest and west is between1000-2000mm, and it is less in north and northeast, which is 400-600mm ... It may rain and snow in any season.

There is an Icelandic proverb: If you don't like the weather now, please wait ten minutes. An Icelandic friend told me another way: there are only three kinds of weather in Iceland: excellent, extremely bad and extremely bad. People in a place like to make fun of the weather, which only shows that they are used to the company of bad weather.

Winter is the off-season of Iceland's tourism. Even on the south bank, the daytime is only six hours. Almost every morning, I am awakened by the roar of the snow shovel. If you drive, you should go out half an hour in advance and clean up the snow bit by bit with the plastic shovel equipped on the car.

There are four major glaciers in Iceland, the most famous of which is the Vatna Glacier, the largest in Europe, and the Neifer Glacier, which historians call "the gateway to the center of the earth".

Driving snow jeeps and motorcycles here will give you the unique enjoyment of running on the ice sheet. The peculiar topography of the central plateau of Iceland attracts many tourists to fully enjoy the wonders of nature here. Whether climbing a mountain on foot or driving a four-wheel drive in this seemingly undeveloped virgin land, it can bring extraordinary feelings.
