Good to know about the time in Iceland
Iceland is on Greenwich Mean Time, UTC, all year round, and has had no daylight saving time since 1968: it is 1 hour behind France in winter and 2 hours behind in summer. Time in Reykjavik
Yet the island lies more than twenty degrees west of Greenwich: in Reykjavik, the sun reaches its highest point at around 13:28 (mean solar noon), and at the winter solstice it does not rise until around 11:21. A return to a time closer to the sun is regularly debated.
