Northern Lights Tour from Reykjavik

Iceland is one of the best places in the world to encounter the magical natural phenomena of the Aurora Borealis, or Northern Lights. In the Land of Fire and Ice, 65° N on the southern edge of the Arctic Circle, there are abundant opportunities to see auroras almost every night, during the winter months, from late August to April. The Northern Lights are caused when particles from the sun interact with the upper atmosphere, around the Earth's Magnetic Poles. It is this interaction that creates the spectacular natural play of lights in the sky. The colors usually seen are pink, green, yellow, blue, violet, and sometimes orange and white. Some visitors also get a chance to see rare colors like yellow, green, red, violet, and blue. Witnessing the Icelandic Arctic sky painted in vibrant multiple hues is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. It is recommended to plan a Northern Lights tour Iceland after checking the latest aurora forecast. While the dancing lights in the sky are sometimes visible from Reykjavik itself, it is recommended to join a professional Iceland Northern Lights tour that takes you away from the city to maximize your chances. Locations visited during the trips to see the Northern Lights can change depending on weather conditions, but one of the most popular spots is the Thingvellir National Park. Sightings cannot be guaranteed but if you don't see any Northern Lights during the Reykjavik Northern Lights tour, you are can join the tour again, without paying extra.
