Changes

Beware of the Icelandic climate. While not very icy, it can be very miserable with a cold [[weather#Rain|rain]] and strong winds, even in August. If you want to hitch through the middle of the country on roads where only SUV can drive, make sure that the lift you get can take you the whole way. You don't want to get stuck in the middle. Even in the summer you can still be caught by a snowstorm. There is a [http://www.vegagerdin.is/english/road-conditions-and-weather/the-entire-country/island1e.html website] where you can check the degree of traffic on any given route. It's made to keep [[weather]]/[[road conditions]] up-to-date, and is updated every few hours. The emergency number is '''112'''.
