Iceland is getting warmer due to global heating caused by the combustion of fossil fuels and the release of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.

Earlier this year, mosquitoes were found in Iceland for the first time as global heating makes it more hospitable for insects. The country was until then one of just two places that did not have a mosquito population, the other being Antarctica.

Studies have shown the Arctic region is warming at four times the rate of the rest of the planet, and Iceland has experienced record heat this year. Glaciers have been collapsing and fish from warmer, southern climes, such as mackerel, have been found in the country’s waters.
