NORTHERN LIGHTS CRUISE | 21:00
Report from Eldey: As darkness descended on the horizon, we set sail away from the city lights. As we were leaving the harbor we admired Harpa concert hall alight with many colors and the sun voyager on the harbor edge. We then went closer to the mountain Esja, and were hopeful as we could see some stars shining bright above. As we waited we learned a bit more about the Aurora and the islands around us. Unfortunately, the lights did not appear, so we handed out complimentary tickets so that everyone could come try to see the lights again.

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.
