There are no mosquitoes in Iceland or the Faroe Islands, although in neighboring countries, these small and numerous bloodsuckers feel yourself quite freely. What doesn’t let them into these “forbidden territory “? Some scientists argue that the blame for everything Oceanic climate of Iceland. But here’s what he thinks about it Entomologist Erling Olafsson:
All this is nonsense because the ocean climate observed in many countries where mosquitoes live quietly and multiply. And a harsh winter has nothing to do with it, in Russian Siberia even more terrible conditions, and mosquitoes – more than enough. I would suggested that the reason was the special chemical composition soil, and hence the water of Iceland. But, I emphasize, this again my opinion, which may well be wrong. Nonetheless, mosquitoes that could have been brought here even by the wind, for some reason not take root in Iceland. And that’s great!
