Reykjavík range from 41°F at night to as high as 77°F
during the day. |

East Germanic, i.e. Gothic, which is now dead. |
| Currency: |
The króna, or in plural form krónur , is
the official currency used in Iceland. Often denoted by
ISK, the name króna means "crown" - a meaning analogous
to the name of several other Nordic currencies. |
