Northern lights diary – March 2nd 2026

Sunrise: 08:31 UTC

Kp: 3/9

Moon status: 99% illuminated

Forecast from Vedur.is : Tonight we’re expecting clear skies and good KP index. The tour is on!

Comment: The night on the ocean as heartbreakingly beautiful. After a load of super windy whale watching it was a completely still night, and not a cloud to be seen! This meant that whilst we waited for the northern lights we could star gaze. Heavenly.
The lights did show towards the end of the tour – but they didn´t show well enough for us to count it so we offered free passes for our guests to try again on another night for free.
