NORTHERN LIGHTS CRUISE | 21:00

Report from Hafsúlan: It was a beautiful but windy evening as we went out. The clear sky was lit with stars and we had the best view over the city.  As we made our way over the bay into the sheltered waters we were able to pick up a faint greenish glow with our cameras that was almost invisible with the naked eye. In hope for the Northern Lights to get stronger we spend the time gazing up into the stars. As that did not happen until we got back to the harbor, we offered complementary tickets to our guests to come out with us on another tour.
