On: Iceland long term visa for remote workers

It's not the temp, it's the wind. So much so that the car rental insurance has special coverage for doors being damaged and/or torn off by wind gusts.

Special coverage as in, doors are excluded from the insurance with the rental I got :D

Yep, we too refused it along with the insurance against car paint being stripped off by volcanic ash. A reckless gamble, granted, but it worked out :)

In fact, there are areas of Iceland (generally long stretches of road where the wind can funnel through valleys) where the wind can knock cars or buses clear off the road.

Generally, they issue weather advisories for that sort of thing, but that would have been handy to know in advance to check for.
