NORTHERN LIGHTS CRUISE I 21:00
Report from Elding: The forecast this evening was hopeful and we were all watching the skies as we left the harbour. We first took a look at the glittering city lights of Reykjavik before stopping at the Imagine Peace Tower. We then headed further out to darker seas. Once we got closer to Esja, we started to see very faint northern lights. They got a little bit stronger before disappearing completely. Unfortunately, we had to head back to the harbour then so as we could only see the auroras through our phones and cameras and not with our eyes, we gave all our passengers complimentary tickets to come and try again!

Few natural phenomena are as mesmerising as the aurora borealis. These shifting curtains of colour sweep across the polar skies, painting them in hues of green, pink, and violet. While their appearance may seem unpredictable, scientists have developed ways to understand when and where they might occur and by studying the activity levels, we can estimate the likelihood of seeing them.
