Summer and winter solstices in Iceland. The further north or south you go on the planet, the more effect there is by the summer and winter solstices. Icelandâs longest day of the year, the summer solstice, is around the 21st of June. On that day the sun sets just after midnight and rises again just before 3am, in ReykjavÃ­k.
It's the summer solstice, the longest day of the year, and the sky surrounding us never darkens. The week ahead promises us 168 hours of uninterrupted daylight in which to drive the Ring Road around Iceland. Though it's not a particularly long distance, I already sense that seven days will be about half as long as I would have hoped for. And so we have bolted straight from the airport to the nearby Blue Lagoon.
