NORTHERN LIGHTS CRUISE | 21:00

Report from Eldey: With a kp index of 4, we grabbed a hot chocolate and waited to see what would happen this evening. First we took some time to admire the lights of the city before heading out to see if the northern lights would appear. With the city lights of Reykjavik to our back, we found a sheltered area in between the islands were we waited, hoping for more gaps in the clouds. Unfortunately no lights came out for us, so we offered complimentary tickets to our guests to come out with us again.
