Top 9 Things to Do During Bad Weather in Iceland
There are very few things Icelanders like to talk about more about than the weather; mercifully warmed by the Gulf Stream, Iceland straddles the North Atlantic and Arctic oceans with some winds hitting the shore that have travelled great expanses of uninterrupted sea. The Icelandic Low is a system of consistent low pressure between Iceland and Greenland causing high winds and turbulent storms. Basically, there is plenty to talk about. In Iceland, the saying goes: if you don’t like the weather, just wait five minutes. This is no exaggeration, no matter what time of the year, you could experience the whole spectrum of the barometer in one day or even a couple of hours. #guidetocieland #traveltips #traveleurope #bestoficeland

Most of the swimming pools are heated outdoor pools and they most of the time have at least one hot tub nearby as well. The biggest pools have both an indoor and an outdoor pool, various hot tubs and saunas to choose from. All this for an entry fee of around 900 ISK or less! You can even find swimming pools and/or hot tubs with free entry.
