We have an extraordinary love for ice cream that defies logic and weather. Our unique "ísbíltúr" tradition means driving specifically to get ice cream - even during snowstorms! This quirky passion proves that in #Iceland, ice cream isn't just a dessert, it's a cultural phenomenon.

I usually go straight for the hot tubs.

"Of course, there’s a pool for doing laps, sometimes two, but you often can also find hot tubs, steam or cold baths, and jacuzzis. There are wading pools and sometimes playground-like pools with awesome waterslides for the kids!"
