Report from Eldey: Unlike it had been during the day, winds had really calmed down and with the shelter from the surrounding islands, we had a very smooth boat ride. While we started out with rain, it soon seized and the clouds began to part. The first hour we watched all around us, seeing stars and the imagine peace tower, until over an hour the northern lights showed themselves around the town of Akranes. There were a few moments when the green was very strong but besides those it was mostly a more faint green lighting up the sky. But this green stayed with us nearly the entire rest of the trip and only fainted when we were already nearly back in the harbour.
