As I got ready for my trip to Iceland, I headed straight to my local REI, and they truly knew how to help me gear up for the elements. Since then, whenever I mention Iceland, people ask, "What should I pack?" I give them the exact breakdown below. Granted, I visited in late February and early March, but the amazing thing about Iceland is that a good winter packing strategy works all year; you just adjust a few pieces for summer.

Let's dive into packing like a pro so you can enjoy every waterfall, glacier, and hot spring.

If you've ever found yourself scrolling through stunning photos of emerald moss, roaring waterfalls, and otherworldly volcanic landscapes, you might have wondered: Is Iceland really worth a visit?
