If you live on or near the East Coast, Play Air has round-trips from Dulles to Keflavík for less than 500. I just got back and Iceland was amazing!

Opposite side of the country. I'd have to go in late Aug, early Sep to not freeze the whole time.

It was surprisingly temperate. We drove the entire country and I would not recommend the NE corner as it was all snow, but the South usually stays around 8c and Reykjavik was hovering around 5c the whole time. The coldest I saw was at 1a in Þingvellir National Park and that was -8c (23f-ish).

The Northern Lights were absolutely breathtaking and going in summer keeps that from happening.

I live in Imperial Beach, lol. I shivered just reading 8°C. Our average temperature is about 20°C. I'd be bundled up even in summer.

Ha, that is completely understandable. I live in Seattle so I am definitely a little more acclimated to the colder weather. Average is 11 this time of year.
