Scientists stunned: Mosquitoes found in Iceland for the first time

For the first time in history, mosquitoes have been discovered in Iceland. Scientists warn it’s more than an oddity it’s another sign of a warming planet, as even the coldest places yield to change. Until now, Iceland shared its mosquito-free status only with Antarctica, thanks to its bone-chilling winters and scarce standing water a crucial breeding ground for mosquitoes. But warmer temperatures, record-breaking summers, and shifting weather patterns appear to have tilted the balance.
