Iceland has recorded its first-ever mosquitoes, ending its long-standing status as one of the few mosquito-free nations. Scientists confirmed the discovery of three Culiseta annulata mosquitoes, a hardy species known to survive in colder regions of Europe and Siberia. Experts link the insects’ arrival to Iceland’s rapidly warming climate, which is heating up four times faster than the Northern Hemisphere average. The finding has sparked concern among health officials about potential disease risks and ecological shifts. For now, the discovery marks another reminder that even Iceland’s icy landscapes are no longer immune to the effects of global warming.
