It’s not really summer.
It’s just winter with less snow.

Keeping Iceland warm
since 1926
In the middle of the ocean, south of Iceland, there’s an archipelago called the
Westman Islands. It’s the windiest place in Iceland and it gets lots of rain. In
the old harbor we opened the valves on the water mains, unleashing an artificial
downpour. When the ice-cold water came lashing down – it really made us think
of the Icelandic summer.
