Watching the Northern Lights over Reykjanes lava fields
Reykjavik · Iceland
About this experience
After dark, the sky is watched from the black lava fields of the Reykjanes Peninsula. When the northern lights appear, green ribbons move across the sky. Watching in an open, quiet landscape away from light pollution is a matter of patient waiting.
Seeing the aurora depends on weather and sky conditions and cannot be guaranteed. Bring thick layers, gloves and a hat, and keep your phone battery warm.
