This whole "Iceland has no mosquitos" fact is useless. Please stop sharing it.

Iceland still has a bunch of flies that are close relatives to the mosquito that bite and suck blood. Midges and gnats.

We even have a whole lake named after them.

Saying that there are no mosquitos is technically correct but what people are taking away from it is that there are no annoying biting flies, which is wrong.
