Introduction

The Botanical Garden is a beautiful, quiet and vibrant garden in Akureyri, one of the world's northernmost botanic gardens, bursting with flowers and greenery in summer, a rare, warm green oasis by the Arctic Circle. Akureyri Botanical Garden (Lystigardurinn) sits in northern Akureyri, among the world's northernmost botanic gardens (near the Arctic Circle). That such a flowering, green garden exists in Iceland's high-latitude, cold north is itself rare and moving. Though not large, it is refined, quiet and vibrant, with thousands of species from Iceland and high-latitude, alpine regions worldwide; each summer (the short, precious growing season of long daylight), it bursts into bloom, colorful and lush: flower beds, trees, quiet lawns and paths full of life and beauty (cultivating such luxuriant plants at this latitude is a botanical achievement). It is a quiet spot for citizens and visitors to rest, walk and enjoy flowers, and a valuable research and display garden. A cafe inside offers a break. Visiting Akureyri's garden is a warm sight.
