The Northern Lights, also called Aurora Borealis are one of the most spectacular shows on this earth and can frequently be seen in Iceland from September through March on cold, clear and crisp nights. If the weather conditions are right, we´ll go away from the city lights and find a dark place in the wilderness to enjoy the Northern Lights. |

This tour is highly dependent upon weather conditions and therefore we only decide the same day whether we go or not. If we cancel due to weather there is no charge but if we go and don't see them, there can be no refund. Unfortunately we have't mastered the fine art of controlling the weather - nor the auroras so sightings can never be guaranteed.
Perfect experience in an amazing place - unforgettable!!!
Itinerary for the Northern Ligths evening tour
There is no fixed itinerary. What decides where we go is the cloud cover and darkness; we need clear skies and as much darkness as possible.
The Northern Lights exist in the outmost layer of the atmosphere. They are created by electrically charged particles that make the thin air shine, not unlike a fluorescent light. They can be seen in auroral belts that forms 20-25 degrees around the geomagnetic poles, both the north and the south. The Northern Lights are also called Aurora Borealis. Named after the Roman Godess of the dawn, Aurora, and the Greek name for the north wind, Boreas.They are one of the most spectacular shows on this earth and can frequently be seen in Iceland from September through March on clear and crisp nights. Away from the glow of the city, we hunt for the elusive Northern Lights but please note that the Northern Lights are a natural phenomenon and sightings can not be guaranteed.
Northern Lights Photos
NOTE: The camera works differently than our eyes. The camera can accumulate light for say 30 seconds and present it in one image - which your eyes can't. The human eye also has a lesser ability to see the red color than the camera. However, you can see the movement - which the camera doesn't capture.
As with most postcard photos they are taken in the best conditions - and tweeked in photoshop. The reason we explain this is an attempt to manage expectations and not practice false advertising.
