Kp: 4/9

Moon status: 0,3 % illuminated

Forecast from Vedur.is : Partially cloudy above Reykjavik, medium KP index. The tour is on!

Comment:

The forecasts predicting increased cloud cover did not prove to be entirely accurate, as the sky was almost cloudless when we left the harbour and remained so throughout the entire tour. The constellations were visible, and as soon as we found a place to stop with the boat, the auroras began to appear more and more intensely. This time, it almost seemed as if someone had ordered them for us. They kept us company for almost the entire tour.
