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.
NORTHERN LIGHTS CRUISE | 21:00
Report from Eldey: Tonight we sailed under beautiful skies and with calm seas. The night was very cold but we didn’t let that diminish our enthusiasm! As we sailed further away into the night’s darkness we started seeing a faint arch up in the sky! The Aurora started out faint but it grew letting everyone have a good look and plenty of pictures. The northern lights changed in intensity during the night from lighter to stronger but their presence was steady almost throughout the whole tour! Eventually it was time to start heading back to Reykjavik and we said goodbye after another beautiful night under the northern lights!
