Did you know Iceland has no mosquitoes, snakes, or dangerous spiders? The first reason is that Iceland is positioned in the middle of the ocean, which isolates it from other countries. And throughout history, mosquitoes and snakes never move there. The second reason is that Iceland has extremely harsh weather, such as frigid winters. Even in the summer, the highest temperature is only 12 to 13 degrees. Snakes, mosquitoes, and spiders have a difficult time surviving and reproducing in this type of weather. Most reptiles are not permitted as pets in Iceland. You cannot own or import snakes, lizards, or turtles into Iceland unless you have a special authorization, such as a zoo owner. Another explanation is that the water and soil in Iceland have a chemical composition that is unsuitable for this type of species. However, global warming is always producing climatic change. This may have an impact on the presence of mosquitoes and snakes in Iceland.
