The correct answer is: C-it keeps Iceland’s capital warmer than New York City in the winter

The Gulf Stream is a warm Atlantic Ocean current that originates in the Gulf of Mexico. The Gulf Stream has affects Iceland’s climate, more precisely its northern extension-the North Atlantic Drift. The Gulf Stream warms the North Atlantic Drift which flows along the southeast coast of Iceland, and keeps the west side of the island warm.
