Even though the region is barely 100 km from the Arctic Circle,the weather is surprisingly mild for this latitude -a factor that contributes to the Eyjafjörður's value as an important ice-free haven all year round.

...

There is no disputing the fact that the Eyjafjörður area is blessed with better weather than most other Icelandic regions, as is clearly shown by its fertile vegetation and strong agricultural presence. The mild climate stems from the Gulf Stream and attendant warm ocean currents from the Gulf of Mexico. The weather is also affected by the East Greenland polar current curving southeastwards round the north and east coasts. In fact, whole Iceland enjoys a much milder climate than its name and location adjacent to the Arctic circle would imply.
