First day of summer in Iceland

In Iceland, we are always waiting for summer. In fact, sometimes we wait for summer all "summer" long.

Waiting to get in the car and just drive with nothing but a tent, a sleeping bag and the desire for an adventure to guide us. Waiting to climb, run or bike up a mountain. Waiting to cast our rods. Waiting to spend time with nature.

On the first Thursday after 18th of April every year, the wait is over (even if the weather disagrees). There is an old tradition to give a sumargjöf (a summer gift) to celebrate this day.

To celebrate the lengthening days and winter receding, our 15L backpacks will be 15% from today, Wednesday 20th of April until Sunday 24th of April. Use the code "summer" to activate the offer.
