Tips For Viewing The Northern Lights In Iceland
Feb.14.2021
Iceland is one of the best countries to see the dazzling spectacle of undulating colors called the northern lights. For those who have always dreamed of them, just choose the right season, the right time of evening, and the best viewing position, and you may well hit the jackpot.
When To See The Northern Lights In Iceland
In order to experience the best of the northern lights, there need to be clear skies, little light, and strong solar activity. The best viewing season in Iceland is from October through March (although I saw them clearly at the end of September). The prime time to see the lights is between 11 p.m. and 2 a.m. -- the darkest time of the night. That said, other elements, such as cloud cover and storms, determine activity.
