When asked if they would visit Iceland again, the vast majority of tourists surveyed said yes. Interestingly, 85% of those who visited Iceland during the winter said they’d return, and 79% who visited in the summer said they were likely to return. As TriptoIceland.com points out, this is a bit surprising since the Iceland’s winter weather is harsh and they have limited hours of sunlight, while the summer days are literally endless.
