Group 1 - Iceland has confirmed the first discovery of mosquitoes in its natural environment, specifically three mosquitoes (two females and one male) found near Reykjavik [1] - The species identified is the Culex pipiens, which was captured using a method involving sweetened red wine to attract moths for observation [1] - The presence of mosquitoes in Iceland is believed to be linked to climate change, as warmer temperatures may create suitable breeding grounds in the country's wetlands and ponds [1] Group 2 - Iceland is experiencing warming at a rate four times faster than the Northern Hemisphere average, leading to accelerated glacier melting [3] - Predictions indicate that by the year 2200, all glaciers in Iceland could disappear due to ongoing climate change [3] - The global distribution of mosquitoes is expanding, with invasive species such as the Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus being reported in new regions, including the UK [3]
