NORTHERN LIGHTS CRUISE | 21:00
Report from Eldey: The forecasts indicated high chances to see the northern lights, with a Kp index of 4. However, the bright waxing gibbosus moon and the overcast clouds created difficult conditions to see the auroras. Right as we sailed out of the harbour some openings appeared between the low clouds, revealing the high and thin clouds and bits of clear sky with stars. This gave us hope, and we sailed around Viðey island while the clouds were opening up, showing bigger and bigger sections of the sky. This gave us a chance to admire the Imagine Peace Tower from up close and the skyline of Reykjavik by night. We waited patienlty, gazing at the city, at the panorama, the moon and the stars, but the northern light didn't show up after all, and we decided to offer complimentary tickets to our passengers, so they could try to observe the auroras from our ships another, luckier time.
