Northern Lights Diary

• NORTHERN LIGHTS CRUISE | 21:00

As soon as we left the harbour, we could already see an arch across the sky. Sure enough, the northern lights were dancing above us, and "exploded" at one point, visible across the whole sky. A fantastic evening at sea!

• NORTHERN LIGHTS CRUISE | 21:00

Our night started with calm seas and a starry sky. We sailed into the bay enjoying our warm drinks and the fresh winter breeze. We waited for a while before we started to see the green hues of the northern lights getting brighter and brighter!

• NORTHERN LIGHTS CRUISE | 21:00

We went out on a beautiful clear night and the stars were shining bright. The auroras tested our patience, and it was only towards the end of the tour that the northern lights showed themselves. But boy they put a very nice show on for us!

Due to fully clouded skies forecasted, we have decided to cancel our Northern Lights cruise tonight. For more info, contact us via email at elding@elding.is, or by phone at +354 519 5000

• NORTHERN LIGHTS CRUISE | 21:00

We sailed into the bay under a dark sky with the stars shining through the clouds. The northern lights appeared after a short while - at first a streak in the sky, before transforming into beautiful arches and curtains. A beautiful evening at sea!

• NORTHERN LIGHTS CRUISE | 21:00

We went out with a good forecast and it didn't disappoint - as soon as the tour departed, we immediately saw a big arch of northern lights across the sky. It stayed above mt. Esja for the whole tour, one time it looked like a little tornado even!

• NORTHERN LIGHTS CRUISE | 21:00

Our Valentine's day tour started with clear skies and high hopes! As soon as we left the harbour we saw the northern lights dancing in the night sky, creating amazing arches so that everyone could see and take as many pictures as possible!

• NORTHERN LIGHTS CRUISE | 21:00

We had incredible weather conditions tonight with flat seas, no wind and clear skies. We could already see northern lights as we were sailing out of the harbour and they just kept getting more intense throughout the night. It was incredible!

• NORTHERN LIGHTS CRUISE | 21:00

Tonight we sailed in calm seas under beautiful skies. As we sailed into the darkness we started seeing faint northern lights that soon grew into an arch. They changed in intensity during the night from lighter to stronger but their presence was steady.

• NORTHERN LIGHTS CRUISE | 21:00

As we came out of the harbour we could see the northern lights in the sky waiting for us! The forecast predicted a Kp 1/9, which goes to show that Mother Nature is truly unpredictable. We saw much movement, many arches and colours!

• NORTHERN LIGHTS CRUISE | 21:00

With a Kp index of 2/9, the northern lights were already visible as we left the harbour! As we sailed away from the city, they exploded and bursted into a corona right above us! We saw wonderful colours in many shapes in the starry sky tonight!

• NORTHERN LIGHTS CRUISE | 21:00

The forecast was optimistic, with gaps in the clouds and a good activity level. We started to see signs of northern lights, but unfortunately, they remained shy, so we offered our passengers complimentary tickets to try again another night for free!

• NORTHERN LIGHTS CRUISE | 21:00

We left the harbour full of hope and sailed into the darkness of the bay and - BINGO - the northern lights were already waiting for us! There was a green arch that multiplied into at least 5 strands, taking up the whole sky and dancing above us!

• NORTHERN LIGHTS CRUISE | 21:00

The night was amazing and there were plenty of stars above our heads as we sailed out. The northern lights began to show themselves at the top of mt. Esja and soon appeared in several arches in the sky. A true spectacle of what Mother Nature can offer.

• NORTHERN LIGHTS CRUISE | 21:00

With a Kp index of 4/9 and some gaps in the sky, we admired the city on our way out, mesmerised by the Winter Lights Festival at Hallgrímskirkja church. We had high hopes for the night, but unfortunately we ended up issuing complimentary tickets.

• NORTHERN LIGHTS CRUISE | 21:00

The sky was full of stars, and we could see several constellations and a few shooting stars. We could see a bit of a glow above mt. Esja through our cameras, but never with our eyes. Since the auroras didn't show themselves, we issued complimentary tickets.

• NORTHERN LIGHTS CRUISE | 21:00

The northern lights were visible right from the start. We had a clear sky and were able to enjoy the spectacle in full view as soon as we left the city behind us. We saw arches and curtains even though the intensity changed throughout the tour.

• NORTHERN LIGHTS CRUISE | 21:00

With a Kp index of 2 and clear skies, we were hopeful that the auroras would bless us with their appearance. We admired mt. Esja, alight with a beautiful moonlight and waited. Unfortunately, however, they never showed up, so we issued complimentary tickets.

• NORTHERN LIGHTS CRUISE | 21:00

It was a beautiful evening out on the bay with a full moon. The auroras unfortunately did not appear tonight and so we offered our guests complimentary tickets to come out with us on another tour in search for the northern lights.
