Why is it mapped to 'Africa/Abidjan'?
Since 1970, Iceland has used the same time zone — namely, GMT+0 with no DST — as Côte d’Ivoire (whose capital is Abidjan) and several other African countries.
But that should not result in tzselect showing Iceland as being in Africa rather than in the Atlantic Ocean; that's a bad user experience.
I was focusing on what I thought was the OP’s main concern — that the actual tz identifier that covers Iceland is Africa/Abidjan, and not Atlantic/something or Europe/something — and not on the tzselect tool. -- Doug Ewell, CC, ALB | Lakewood, CO, US | ewellic.org
