Country-wide 8
Gen4 = red & white pickup trucks (well blurred); Gen3 = white car w/ long antenna
Sweden: Trees → Sweden; treeless volcanic land → Iceland.
Plates fully white w/ blue characters, no EU strip
Yellow bollards w/ white reflector - on almost every rural road
Barren & treeless, dark grey volcanic soil - looks like nowhere else in Northern Europe; geothermal lakes, lava fields, rifts, rock towers
Direction signs yellow w/ white road-number inset (dashed border = nearby road, not yours; farm signs blue/white)
Pedestrian signs: 4 stripes on a yellow background - Europe's only yellow ped signs
Icelandic: ð/Ð þ æ + accented vowels (á é í ó ö ú ý)
Faroe Islands: þ → Icelandic only; grass-roofs + tunnels → Faroes.
Denmark: ð/þ → Iceland.
Norway: ð/þ → Iceland.
Street signs white/black w/ thin metal rim on lampposts; all-white road lines (yellow lines → think Norway/Finland); chevrons black w/ yellow arrows (NO/FI similar); signs w/ yellow background (like SE/FI)
Regional 3
Sparse coverage (densest SW; few interior roads); road numbers: ring road = 1; first digit regional, 2 (south) → 9 clockwise
Westfjords = narrow fjords + flat-topped mountains; east fjords = larger, more jagged peaks; valleys west of Akureyri face N/NE between snowy peaks; inland = dark volcanic gravel deserts (mostly east); SW = flat farmland w/ distant mountains; Eiðar valley = hilly farms + snowy peaks both sides; Hallormsstaður = NE-SW valley w/ river + unusually many trees; Selfoss = lone flat-ridge mountain
Pickup colour splits the country: red = southwest, white = northeast
City 1
Reykjavík = the only 'big city' feel, flat on a bay's south side; Akureyri = 2nd city in a N-S valley w/ mountains east AND west
Specific spots 1
Spotlights: Vatnajökull glaciers visible from the southern ring road; only a handful of divided/3+-lane highways (mapped); Heimaey = ragged cliffs over Vestmannaeyjabær; very foggy coverage → Bakkagerði (NE)
