At this time of year, people in Iceland are celebrating the start of the first summer month (Harpa) of the old Icelandic calendar. The year was split into just two seasons back then – summer and winter – so although it is still a bit chilly in April, it marks the lengthening of days and the end of the harsh winter. According to folklore, on the night before summer begins, if you put a dish of water outside and it freezes, you’ll have a good summer.
