NORTHERN LIGHTS CRUISE | 21:00

Report from Eldey: Tonight we were expecting a lower activity with Kp index 1 to 2. There were a few clouds covering the moon but they vanished and stick above Reykjavik. For our surprise, from the minute we started our tour, we already could see a bit of green in the sky with our naked eyes! We had Northern lights during the whole tour, as they got stronger and vanished again, on and off. There was a beautiful and long double arch formed and we had fun taking as many pictures as possible! Even though we had a low activity, it was beautiful to see such a beautiful green in the sky, so strong!
