NORTHERN LIGHTS CRUISE | 21:00

Report from Eldey: There was hardly a cloud in the sky when we sailed out of Reykjavík harbour so we were optimistic for a successful aurora night. Early on during the tour we already detected some green and pink lights through the camera, and they slowly increased in strength so that we could see them with our own eyes too. The moderate activity remained stable for some time but then it decreased and the northern lights became very faint. A little while later an arch of light green appeared, and the auroras grew stronger and stronger and their brightness lit up half of the sky around us. We sailed back to Reykjavík to find that clouds had covered the city, so we felt extremely lucky to be at the right place at the right time to have enjoyed these northern lights tonight.
