Forecast from Vedur.is : Tonight we are expecting clear skies and high KP index, the Northern Lights tour is on!

Comment: The conditions for viewing the Northern Lights today were truly promising – we left the harbour under a starry sky, and the sea was calm and unruffled.

It didn’t take long before we saw the first signs of the aurora – a delicate arc that later turned into a stunning display! Shades of green, and at one point even pink, appeared before our eyes. The aurora was visible to the naked eye, dancing above Mount Esja and right above our heads! Definitely a beautiful night!
