Can't pick correct timezone for Lightning from city dropdown list

My country, Iceland, uses UTC all year round with no daylight savings. Europe/Reykjavík (or even better, Europe/Kópavogur !) is not an option and so with Casablanca (old Windows default too) taking on the timezone mantle the daylight savings mean my Lightning Calendar always displays the incorrect time (although the alerts come at the right time). This is very confusing when one of my Calendars is a synced writable Google Calendar.

I've been trying to find out how to edit the timezone settings manually but no luck so far. To fix this an additional option in the Timezone dropdown menu for Iceland needs to be added, one that is UTC all year round with no daylight savings.

Isn't Atlantic/Reykjavik good enough? http://www.timezoneconverter.com/cgi-bin/zoneinfo?tz=Atlantic/Reykjavik

Atlantic/Reykjavik is certainly an option in my English version. Perhaps you could indicate what the issue is really. Is it that Atlantic/Reykjavik is not available, or that the data used is wrong? Or you did not follow the Atlantic/Reykjavik. Strange naming convention I think. But if it gets the correct UTC offsets, or lack of them, I can live with what I see as the odd naming convention.

Atlantic/Reykjavík isn't an option. Hence my problem.

The timezone list is in Icelandic interestingly enough, with a minor spelling error or two, but no Reykjavík under Evrópa/ and no Atlantic variant.
