    The sea was flat and the stars were shining almost as bright as the moon. We sailed by Viðey island to see the Imagine Peace Tower and then further towards mount Esja. The northern lights first tested our patience, but then appeared all around us!

    The forecast was good and there were supposed to be big gaps in between the clouds. We admired the Imagine Peace Tower on our way into the bay, but unfortunately the auroras never showed up, so we gave out complimentary tickets to all.

    The Kp index forecast changed from 1 to 3, so we just needed to be patient as we started seeing gaps in the sky. After 2 hours of searching however, we issued complimentary tickets to our patient passengers, so they could try again another night!

    We hadn't sailed out of the harbour when we first saw the northern lights! There were multiple arches appearing in the night sky, even crossing the beam of the Imagine Peace Tower. They started to dance and became very intense in colour.
