Take a holiday to Iceland to see the Northern Lights
The northern lights are a stunning natural display that brighten Iceland's skies each year. However, the lights can be unpredictable, and visibility depends on factors like clear skies, low light pollution, solar activity and of course the weather.
Since the aurora’s appearance can’t always be predicted, a northern lights trip with added excursions is the perfect way to make the most of your time in Iceland.
