Weather 

Temperatures in January are cold, typically ranging from -1°C to 3°C (30°F to 37°F). In some regions, especially in the north and interior, temperatures can drop lower, sometimes significantly below freezing. By late January, the days are slowly getting longer. In Reykjavik, for instance, you can expect about 5-6 hours of daylight. Sunrise is usually around 10:00 AM, and sunset is around 5:00 PM. Late January is a good time to see the Northern Lights, as the nights are long and dark. Clear skies are needed for optimal viewing, so be prepared for varying conditions. Winter activities such as ice caving, glacier hiking, and soaking in hot springs are popular in late January. Just ensure you're well-prepared for the winter weather and potential travel disruptions.

Language
Icelandic, the official language of Iceland, is an Indo-European language of the North Germanic languages. The language is closely related to Faroese and Norwegian with minor differences resulting from Celtic influence in the ancient Icelandic literature. Most Icelanders speak very good English.

​Currency
The currency in Iceland is the Icelandic króna (ISK). Many places (restaurants, bars, tourist attractions) will take US dollars, Canadian dollars, Euros, Norwegian, Swedish and Danish currencies. Payment: Icelanders usually pay for everything by credit or debit card.
