Few natural phenomena are as mesmerising as the aurora borealis. These shifting curtains of colour sweep across the polar skies, painting them in hues of green, pink, and violet. While their appearance may seem unpredictable, scientists have developed ways to understand when and where they might occur and by studying the activity levels, we can estimate the likelihood of seeing them.
NORTHERN LIGHTS CRUISE | 22:00
Report from Elding: We headed out onto the calm bay on this clear but chilly evening. We got to see the Moon set behind mount Esja, leaving the starry night sky in complete darkness, ideal for us in our search. We scanned the sky for a bit, when all of a sudden the sky began lighting up above Esja, the northern lights had appeared! We got to see this spectacular phenomenon spread across the sky in front of us, with a prominent green arch, and even some purple streaks near the top. An absolutely magical evening!
