In Iceland, New Year’s Eve is one of the longest and darkest nights of the year – daylight lasts for a scant four hours, and the rest of the day is dedicated to celebrations.
Typically, people would start with a church mass early in the evening, and then have a meal with friends and family, but afterwards the party truly starts on the street of Reykjavik around bonfires and with fireworks.
