Forecast: Clear skies with a strong KP index are forecast for the Reykjavik area, the tour is on!

Comment: We began our evening tour under a clear sky, where a beautiful aurora was already watching us from above, spreading over our heads and towards the west! As soon as we moved away from the lights of Reykjavik, the aurora only intensified, treating us to beautiful greens and purples in the form of ribbons dancing in the sky.

Over time, it dispersed in the sky and faded, while the sky remained starry. We returned to the port satisfied, with smiles on our faces.
