NORTHERN LIGHT CRUISE | 21:00

Report from Eldey: With a kp 4 but a sky almost completely covered in clouds we did not know if tonight would be successful. We know how capricious is the Icelandic weather so we tried and moved around the bay hoping that some gaps in the sky would let appear the green lights. There was some gaps and stars visible in the sky but the activity was lower than expected and there was no northern lights visible on our pictures. We continued the tour and kept patient and hopeful. Unfortunately the lights were not coming so we decided to slowly move back to the harbour after a short detour to see the imagine peace tower from closer. Because we did not see the northern lights we offered complimentary tickets to our passengers allowing them to come back in the next two years when...Northern lights finally appeared through the clouds! They were hidden in the clouds but we could clearly see some green and even the movement of the lights in the sky. It was brief but beautiful. The clouds covered the sky again so we finished our tour, happy that we could have this final surprise.
