Northern lights diary – January 29th 2026

Northern lights viewed from a luxury aurora watching cruise from Reykjavik in Iceland 14

Sunrise: 10:18 UTC

Sunset: 17:10 UTC

Kp: 3/9

Moon status: 82,7 % illuminated

Forecast: Initially partially cloudy sky, expected to clear up later; the tour is on!

Comment: Tonight did not go as we expected, and the auroras never appeared during the two-hour tour. Contrary to what was predicted on the weather forecast, the clouds became increasingly dense and remained until the end of the tour, preventing us from seeing even a single star. However, we know that we must not be discouraged and that next time will be better!
