Work visa for iceland huh, how exciting.

Climate so severe that even polar bears can barely survive. To do what? Shovel snow and take selfies with penguins?

Even Bangladesh seems like a more interesting destination for work.

Not because of the climate. Polar bears are not native to Iceland; all that swim there are shot.

If you've never been, Iceland is surprisingly not that cold during winter, there are many places that are much colder (e.g. US/Canada east coast).

Is is also not warm in summer though :) (I guess the gulf stream is regulating temperatures pretty heavily).
