Y'all, brace yourselves, because we've got some mind-blowing news for you. Iceland is totally mosquito-free! Can you even imagine a world without those pesky little bloodsuckers? Well, it's a reality in this magical land.

According to the Icelandic Web of Science (yes, that's a real thing), there are 1,600 species of dryland animals in Iceland, but not a single mosquito in sight. How is that even possible?

And yet, there's a twist!

The Lone Mosquito in Iceland

In the 1980s, a brave little mosquito managed to hitch a ride on an Icelandair plane and make history. Professor Gísli Már Gíslason, a total legend at the University of Iceland, captured the insect and now it's chilling (literally) in a jar at the Icelandic Institute of National History. Talk about a lucky mosquito!

So, why is Iceland so inhospitable to these tiny terrors? It's all about the climate, fellow Villagers. Iceland's weather is super unpredictable.

One minute it's spring, and the next, it's winter again. The poor mosquito just can't keep up with the temperature swings. It's like trying to survive a 24-hour party at Coachella without any water.

But let's be real, who needs mosquitoes when you've got stunning landscapes, geothermal hot springs, and the Northern Lights? Iceland is the ultimate destination for anyone looking to escape the buzz of everyday life (pun intended).

Who Wants To Go to Iceland?

So, pack your bags, leave the bug spray at home, and get ready to explore the mosquito-free wonderland that is Iceland. Just remember, if you do happen to see a mosquito, be a hero and hand it over to Professor Gísli.

His lonely mosquito could use a wingman (or wingwoman).
