FRIDAY, 26 FEBRUARY 2016

Status: RUNNING

We are sailing out to look for Northern Lights at 21:00 / 9PM. Tonight we offer both Northern Light Cruise and Northern Lights on Viðey Island http://elding.is/tours?type=northern  The forecast predicts moderate Aurora activity, or 2-3 out of 9 and semi clouded.

Sightings: The skies were cloudier than we hoped and with little to no wind teh low and mid clouds were not moving. Unfortunately, no northern lights were seen on this evening´s tour and according to the Icelandic observatory real-time observations http://en.vedur.is/weather/articles/nr/2549  they were not active during the tour thus, if it was a clear sky we might not have seen them anyway. We offered our passengers complementary tickets in the hope that they will have more luck next time. Northern Lights forecasts can be seen at http://en.vedur.is/weather/forecasts/aurora/ or aurora-service.eu or http://www.gi.alaska.edu/AuroraForecast/Europe.
