Nocturnal Bliss
Fall and winter is the time of the Aurora Borealis. On clear frosty nights
the sky is lit with moving blankets of the most amazing colors.
Winter arrives in Iceland and northern lights rage in the sky in all their glory, green,
pink, blue and red waves of light that illuminate the clear, frosty Icelandic nights.
Because of the clean air the visibility can be stunning and you can see the aurora
borealis flowing through the sky like highways made of this incredible light. However you
need to get out of the electric buzz created by human existence to enjoy this spectacle. This
is an experience best enjoyed in dark places where human-made electric bulbs do not dilute
the natural light presented by nature itself. According to specialists the activity of the
aurora borealis has been quite low in recent years but because of solar storms increasing it
is expected to rise significantly in coming years.
That does not mean these stunning waves of electricity have vanished from the sky in the
last few years. In fact enthusiasts have been quite lucky in spotting them all over Iceland.
You can even see them in Reykjavík on starry nights but then you need to be extremely
lucky because the city lights dilute them.
Reykjavík Excursions offers special nighttime tours to see this amazing phenomenon. The
locations visited are different every tour since they go where the aurora borealis are most
likely to be seen. The tour is dependant on weather and sightings are not guaranteed as on
some nights the divine lights do not always appear in the sky, even if it’s crystal clear. But
then again you can always enjoy the beautiful arctic sky filled with glittering stars. A tour
not to be missed.
