Ormtíðar
Ormtíðar is a term in Icelandic referring to the period when snakes are most active. In Iceland, this concept is tied to the summer months, generally spanning June to August, during which certain reptilian species (including introduced or migratory forms) show heightened movement and behavior. The term reflects cultural and ecological observations about seasonal activity patterns in the region. It is frequently used in environmental monitoring and wildlife studies to track animal behavior during peak activity periods. The concept underscores the interplay between seasonal changes and local fauna, even in environments with limited reptilian presence.
