So make sure to pack warm layers and rain/winter coat ― even if you are visiting during the summer months.” ― Inga Kristjansdottir, blogger at Tiny Iceland “So many tourists don’t bring proper clothes in summer and winter. Winter is especially hard and unpredictable.” ― Nowakowski “I think visitors often don’t fully realize how severe the weather can get in Iceland in winter. It’s illegal, and you can be fined.” ― Zakas “So many tourists are doing off-road driving, which is the most terrifying thing for locals. So if you’re traveling around there and see a road sign telling you to fill up your gas tank to full, don’t hesitate to follow it, in order not to get stuck somewhere with no people around and even no mobile service!” ― Jane Iskra, photographer at Iskra Photography Services L.
