86.9F isn't hot enough for you? Also, other warm locales are just a short flight away.

30C is a pretty average summer day where I live in Italy. There, it's a very rare event.

It's not like they can air-freight in the warm though - you're stuck in someplace cold except for brief trips. Fine for some people, but something to experience before committing to it.

On the plus side, warm water is virtually free in Iceland, even when it is freezing outside. Because of that, there are quite a few outdoor baths, such as http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Lagoon_(geothermal_spa)
Oh, I'm sure there are plenty of wonderful things in Iceland, just that someplace that cold is not my cup of tea. It could well be the perfect place for others though.
Just don't forget a geothermal source is nothing but a very tame volcano. ;-)
