Reykjanesbær is in the Greenwich Mean Time timezone (GMT/UTC+0), observed year-round with no daylight saving. Iceland permanently stays on GMT, home to Keflavík International Airport.

Keflavík International Airport is where Iceland meets the world. Located on the Reykjanes Peninsula, the airport handles nearly all of Iceland’s international flights and has made the country one of the world’s most popular transit hubs for transatlantic travel. The municipality around it, Reykjanesbær, exists in service of the airport and the fishing industry.

Iceland uses UTC+0, Greenwich Mean Time, year-round with no daylight saving. This is one of the quirks of Icelandic life that visitors notice: in summer, when London is on BST (UTC+1), Iceland is an hour behind despite being northwest of London. In winter, the two are aligned.

Iceland’s decision to forgo DST is old and consistent. The country argued that DST’s energy-saving rationale made little sense in a country that runs primarily on geothermal and hydroelectric power, and that clock changes disrupted sheep farming schedules and other agricultural rhythms.
