Iceland is a North Atlantic island and the westernmost country in Europe, midway between North America and mainland Europe. It lies about 800 km northwest of Scotland and 970 km west of Norway, and its northern coast is just below the Arctic Circle.

Not at all!
To get to the north, one can fly, drive or take scheduled bus.
Over the summertime Iceland Express (www.icelandexpress.is) flies to Akureyri airport once a week from Copenhagen.

During summer the nights are bright all over Iceland. In the month of June the sun never fully sets in the north.

Thanks to the Gulf Stream, Iceland enjoys a cool temperate maritime climate: cool in summer and fairly mild in winter. However, the weather is very unpredictable and tourists should be prepared for the unexpected.  The north and east are often the warmest parts in the summer.

The Icelandic króna (ISK).  All major currencies can be exchanged at the airport, banks and currency exchanges.  Visa and MasterCard are accepted almost universally, and ATMs are generally not hard to find.  

Visitors with disabilities can make travelling in Iceland fairly easy by planning their vacation in advance. They may also find it necessary to travel with a companion, for although there are many hotels and restaurants accessible to people with disabilities, they do not always provide full assistance.
All airlines flying to and from Iceland are equipped to accommodate travellers with disabilities. A few domestic buses equipped for wheelchair users are available for special tours upon request. For accessible hotels and tourist attractions, see www.sjalfsbjorg.is

Icelanders enjoy a healthy life, thanks to clean air and water and good quality fish. Water is safe to drink throughout Iceland. Pharmacies are called “Apótek” and are open during normal business hours.
Medical help: There is a medical centre or hospital in all major cities and towns in Iceland.
Emergency: The 24-hour emergency phone number in Iceland is 112. See also www.safetravel.is
