This does not apply in Iceland, the geothermal heat has no effect
on
the air temperature.
The temperature in Iceland is moderated by the Gulf stream,
giving it
a maritime temperate climate.

Which states someone about the condition of geography education in
the States in today's society.... As a geezer, I was aware of
Iceland's climate because I had it taught to me in elementary
school.

My apologizes to you for people from the U.S. displaying such lack
of knowledge.

Boy - looks awfully arctic to me... not. Only one month a year do the
temps in Reykjavik average even slightly below freezing. I've seen
temps in maritime temperate Seattle lower than the absolute low
of -17.1°C reported at the link above (though only slightly.)
