Iceland isn't all that cold, unfortunately. Being surrounded by vast expanses of 32 degree heat sinks moderates its temperature. The salt water can't help it much either. You need to find a nice place in the middle of a continent and closer to the artic circle, hopefully with a good source power, to take advantage of environmental cooling advantages. Besides, its >60 degree here in Rochester today. ;-)
