Tip: Take a sip of water, then continue fresh.
Iceland isn't exactly Iceland's next door neighbor. Separated by the vast Atlantic Ocean, Washington D.C. and Reykjavik, Iceland's capital, are pretty far apart. Buckle up for some geography!
- Miles, Miles, Glorious Miles: The distance between these two world cities is roughly 2,800 miles (or 4,500 kilometers). That's about the same distance as driving from New York City to Los Angeles... twice!
- Time for a Refueling Stop: If you were to fly this route (which is the most likely scenario unless you have a superpowered Viking longship), the flight time would be around 6-7 hours.
