While the rest of Europe is suffering from a sweltering heat wave with people advised to stay at home, Iceland is surely the best place for a tourist to visit.

I visited the capital, Reykjavik, recently when summer had just started. I was told by Icelandic tour operators that it would be warm then, and there was no need for winter clothing.
