NORTHERN LIGHTS CRUISE | 21:00
Report from Eldey: This evening, we had a pretty good forecast - high activity on the kp index, and gaps in the clouds. We sailed out of the harbour looking upwards and getting further and further away from the city lights. We sailed towards Esja and saw some intrepid hikers climbing down the mountainside with their bright headlamps. We waited for other lights to appear above us but unfortunately, they didn't show up for us tonight. All our passengers onboard were offered complimentary tickets to come again for free and try again in the future.

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.
