Study tour of Icelandic fisheries for Sierra Leonean high-level delegation
Guests from Indonesia
Practical information
Welcome to Iceland
You arrive at the time of the year when winter is coming ... and the happy Christmas season approaching.
This year, September 23rd was the day of the equinox, i.e., when daytime and night-time are of equal duration all over the planet. After that we have progressively longer night-time than daytime here in the north and we also start to experience colder weather and occasional snow storms.
In October the temperature usually ranges between 2-7 degrees Celsius. It can go below zero, especially during the night. For outdoor activities you would need a warm jumper, wind /waterproof outer shell, and good shoes.
Orientation
To help our guests to orient themselves, FTP /WB have taken together a handbook with practical information on weather conditions in Iceland, suitable clothing, time difference, currency, accomodation during stay, important phone numbers etc.
It is possible to upload a PDF version of the Handbook here>
On the official tourism website Visit Iceland you can also find a lot of useful info.
