Only 0.31% of Icelanders, or 1,100 people, practice Islam. You will find more followers of Asatru, the old-time Norse religion, in that country. Why? Because Islam is incompatible with life in a place that close to the north pole. Thanks to the midnight sun effect, if the month of Ramadan occurs in summer, there isn’t really any time to break the fast required during daylight hours. Conversely, if Ramadan happens to fall in the winter, the fasting time isn’t long enough to make a difference, because the days are so short; it’s probably shorter than the time most of us wait between meals.
