Life Without the Mosquitoes Menace
It’s challenging to envision a place without mosquitoes, but you’ll experience that when visiting Iceland. Despite being nowhere near as frigid as Antarctica, Iceland is remarkably free from the bothersome presence of blood-sucking mosquitoes.
Even though Iceland has neighboring countries like Norway and Denmark, which contend with mosquito issues and boast numerous ponds and lakes that could serve as potential mosquito breeding grounds, the country remains mosquito-free. It’s true. This remarkable phenomenon may be due to the frequent freeze-thaw cycles that Iceland experiences, potentially disrupting the development of mosquito larvae. However, there is also the concern that global warming could potentially disrupt this mosquito-free peace in the future. Only time will tell.
