Complete Time Zone Guide for Iceland
SyncMyTime displays accurate time for Reykjavik and Icelandic regions. Greenwich Mean Time (GMT, UTC+0) is maintained year-round without daylight saving.
Time Zone History
Iceland adopted GMT and permanently abolished daylight saving time in 1968, decades before most countries considered this. The decision reflected Iceland's high latitude position where summer days are nearly 24 hours long and winter days only a few hours—daylight saving provides no meaningful benefit at such extreme latitudes.
Culture & Daily Rhythm
Icelandic daily life adapts dramatically to extreme daylight variations. The workday typically runs 9 AM-5 PM but summer's midnight sun enables activities at all hours while winter darkness compresses active hours. Icelanders maintain among the highest per-capita book reading and coffee consumption globally. The concept of 'þetta reddast' (it will all work out) reflects cultural attitudes toward planning.
