General and emergency information
Visiting rules of Icelandic nature.
We would like to remind everyone traveling around Iceland that
littering is strictly forbidden and if you travel in the interior
highlands you must bring everything back or throw it in garbage bins at the campsites. Please help us keep our
country tidy! Because of the short summers waste may take decades to decay and erosion may expose gabage your try to bury.
Emergency.
If an accident occurs one should contact the next police station immediately. The emergency telephone number is 112.
S.V.F.I. (The national life-saving association of Iceland) runs
emergency-shelters all around the country. These shelters are only for
emergencies. Unnecessary use of these shelters is strictly forbidden
and the food there is only for real emergencies. They often have guest
books that you are welcome to sign and write when you stopped by and
were you are headed, this can be helpful if someone has to be tracked
down.
