Report from Eldey: This evening we sailed out with high hopes as the sky looked promising. The kp forecast was predicted to be a 2 but as soon as we left the harbour we already saw some green! The Northern lights can be fickle so they often fade and grow stronger during the tour. But there was a point that the got stronger and stronger and the whole left of the boat was green. How amazing! Also, three different arches on our left, coming from Esja mountain in front and going all the way to the back of the boat. They also appeared above us as we started our journey home. What an incredible night it was.
