Witnessing the northern lights is purely a magical experience, that you’ll remember with fondness for life!
But what no one tells you, is that it’s very unpredictable and difficult to plan a trip around seeing the illustrious aurora borealis.
With some effort, planning, and a bit of luck, you can increase your chances of witnessing this beautiful phenomena. Here are 7 big tips for seeing the northern lights in Iceland.
Tip #1: When to Go
Go in Winter
The northern lights are only visible in dark skies. During the summer, Iceland has very little dark hours, with some months seeing daylight 24 hours a day.
Therefore, you must go in winter to see the Northern Lights. Luckily in Iceland, that means a window of time from late September to early March.
I spent the winter of 2022 – 2023 in Iceland in Laugarvatn, and saw the northern lights at least a dozen times. This may not sound like much, but it gives a more realistic idea of how often you can realistically see the northern lights in Iceland.
Follow the Solar Cycle
The northern lights are a natural phenomena that occur when solar wind passes through the Earth’s magnetic field. The reaction is what creates those translucent colors that appear to dance across the sky.
The solar wind occurs all the time, but during years with peak solar activity, the chances and frequency of seeing the northern lights drastically increases.
The next projected peak in the solar activity cycle is in the year 2024, and will continue peaking for 2 or 3 years. Based on probability, these years are when you have the highest chances of seeing the northern lights.
I went in October 2019, during what was considered the least active point in the solar cycle. Out of my entire month in Iceland, I saw the northern lights for the entire last week. They stayed and just didn’t leave.
You definitely can see them any year and winter, but if you are coming from far away and are planning your entire trip around the northern lights, you’ll probably want to maximize your chances of seeing them.
Planning to visit Iceland during a peak year for solar activity will increase your chances.

Tip #2: Where to Go
Go Where it’s Dark
The next tips for seeing the northern lights in Iceland, are about where you can see them.
You can see the northern lights, even from Reykjavik, the capital city. However, if they are lighter and more faint, they could be drowned out or made less visible by light pollution.
You’ll have better viewing of the lights from somewhere dark, and void of light pollution. That could mean even just driving 20 minutes to get out of the city, but it could result in a much better viewing experience.
Northern Iceland
There is some local belief that the northern part of Iceland is better for northern lights viewing than the other parts. This could be due to more clear skies, but I am not entirely sure.
According to this website, the southern part of Iceland gets way more precipitation than the north. The south gets 50 – 95 inches of rainfall a year, while areas in the north report as low as 20 inches a year. Of course, rain indicates clouds, so this could confirm that the north in fact, could have less cloudy days.
If you want to increase your chances of seeing the northern lights, you could base yourself in the northern part of Iceland.
That way, when you get an alert about activity (see tip 4 for more info on this!), you may be in closer proximity to the better viewing areas.
Iceland is a big island, and probably bigger than you would imagine before visiting. If, for example, you found out there would be high chances of northern lights in the north, and you were based in Reykjavik, it would take you far too long to get there.
Akureyri
If you plan to stay in the northern part of Iceland, there’s really only one area with a sizable amount of options, and that’s Akureyri.
There are even northern lights tours that start from here! A few options of where to stay here are:
Lava Apartments & Rooms: a very clean and modern apartment hotel and what is a steal in terms of Icelandic prices. A room for two starts at $74 USD a night.
Akureyri H.I Hostel: This hostel is the best option for those on a budget. It’s on the more stylish and comfortable side, as far as hostels go. A room for two starts at $56 USD.
Tip #3: Don’t Take a Northern Lights Tour
This is entirely up to you but in my opinion, these are a waste of time and money. And trust me, in Iceland you’ll want to budget your money wisely.
You absolutely do not need to take a tour to see the northern lights. There aren’t any publicly inaccessible places to view them, and with the right resources, you will basically have the same chances of seeing the northern lights as a tour guide.
These tours are pricy, generally running upwards of $130 USD (welcome to Iceland!). In no way does going on a tour guarantee that you will see the northern lights. Your chances are entirely up to nature, which you can track yourself (see the next tip).
If you like groups tours though, don’t let me stop you. It’s true that they’d do all the legwork and research for you, and drive you to the viewpoint and back. That way all you’ll have to do, is relax and enjoy.
If you want to book a tour, the one that was recommended was with Extreme Iceland. It was recommended by my boyfriend who was a tour guide in Iceland himself.
These trips depart from Reykjavik, and are the best value and service for your money. Even if you don’t see the northern lights, they’ll make sure you have fun, by off-roading in a jeep and warming you up with some hot chocolate.
Tip #4: How to Track the Northern Lights
Use the Icelandic Aurora Forecast Website
The most important tips for seeing the northern lights in Iceland, are related to how you will track the aurora borealis activity while there. Hopefully, your trip is not shorter than at least 5 days or a week. Not just because of the northern lights, but because there’s a lot to see and do in Iceland!
But if you have at least 5 – 7 days, what you can do once you arrive in Iceland (or even a few days before) is check this website here.
This is the best resource for tracking when and where the northern lights are likely to occur.
They rate the northern lights activity level on a scale from 0 to 9, with 9 being the highest level of northern lights activity, and 0 being nothing at all.
My boyfriend has spent a couple seasons working in Iceland, and confirms that it is fairly accurate. In my own experience, when the rating goes above a 6, if you go to a spot with clear skies, you will see the northern lights.
You can find the rating in the upper right box of that webpage.
Find the Areas with No Clouds
Due to the unpredictable nature of Icelandic weather, the map only predicts up to 3 days in advanced.
If you see that a day is coming up, with a rating of 5 or higher for northern lights on the website, next you should check where there will be clear skies.
On the website’s map, what’s shown in green are the cloudy areas, and the white areas are projected to be clear skies.
You should plan to head to the areas with clear skies, to maximize the chances of seeing the northern lights.
Don’t forget to check what time they will occur. The website will tell you predicted northern lights activity levels and weather in increments of 6 hours. So it gives you projections for activity levels and weather at 6 AM, noon, 6 PM and midnight.
Depending when the skies are dark when you go, those will be the times you should opt to view the northern lights. For example, when I went in October, It was dark from 4:00 PM to 5:00AM, so even if there was northern light activity at 6:00 AM, I wouldn’t be able to see it.
In months like February, the hours of darkness increases, which widens your window of time to possibly see the northern lights.
Tip #6: How to Increase Your Chances
If you want to maximize your luck, here are additional pro tips on how to see the northern lights in Iceland and increase your chances of seeing them!
Drive Outside the Cities
Reducing light pollution will increase your chances of seeing more faint northern lights. You need a really dark sky to see the northern lights at their maximum brightness.
Come in December or January
These months have the longest hours of darkness. You have nighttime skies from 5 PM well until 10 AM the next day. This creates a bigger window of time for you to catch the northern lights.
Find a Flat Viewing Area
Sometimes the northern lights will only be seen very low in the sky, seemingly right above the horizon. It’s best to have a viewing area that is flat, with no large mountains or objects obstructing the sky.
Ask Your Hotel For Northern Lights Calls
Depending on where you stay, many hotels offer wake up calls to their guests when there are northern lights sightings.
Almost all of the higher end hotels offer this service. However, even if you are staying at a hostel or guesthouse, you can ask your receptionist about this service.
Generally, locals know best and if there is word of nearby northern lights, they can let you know.
They may also have their own personal tips for you on how to see the northern lights in Iceland, so be sure to ask!
Have You Camera Ready at All Times
You could get lucky and see some random flares, at any time during your trip. Although unlikely, it could even happen before nightfall. Always have your camera charged and ready to go.
For the more faint northern lights, you can also sometimes see them better on your camera, by using long exposure photography.
Tip #7: How to Photograph It
Let’s be clear: nothing compares to seeing the northern lights in person. The way the lights seem to dance across the sky is truly magic. The way it change colors from green to pink to purple, can only be witnessed in real time. Or the way it sometimes seems to start raining down on you, like an ethereal cloud. These aspects can’t be captured the way the human eyes will see it, period.
With that said, there are still advantages of capturing the northern lights in a photo. A camera, when used right, can capture the northern light differently than the naked eye. Even if you aren’t a photographer, try to capture some photos and see for yourself. Sometimes the results will amaze you.
Set up Your Long Exposure Shot
You will need a tripod to set up your shot. Iceland can be pretty windy, so the heavier and sturdier it is, the better.
You will want to put your 2 second timer on, then decrease the shutter speed to at least 10 – 20 seconds. You can play around with this, but I found 20 seconds to work best for my camera.
Set the aperture to the lowest possible setting or to 2.8 f at least. This will allow the lens to capture the most light.
If you want to light up the foreground, you can also use a flashlight. Flash the light across the foreground for a second or two, while the camera is shooting. This will allow enough light to capture the foreground and some color, without washing it out.
Take a Few Shots
The northern lights are truly like natures art in the sky. No shapes or patterns will be identical, and they change every minute. It also changes color, and you’d be lucky to capture it when it turns purple or blue.
Sometimes, even when the light is undetectable by the human eye or is very faint, you can capture it clearly in photos. Play around and take a few pictures to see what you get!
You could also play around with the composition of the photo. I took a few silhouette photos, some with me sitting in a chair that I set up outside our house, and some landscape photos with no one in it.
I love all these photos, and often look at them in amazement at the fact I was there, and witnessed this magic in person.
Those are my top tips for seeing the northern lights in Iceland! Have you seen the northern lights? Where is your best place to spot them?

I haven’t been fortunate enough to see the Northern Lights yet, although we do have them in Canada, but where I live is way to populated. The Northern Lights are on my bucketlist, and so is Iceland so I just might have to kill 2 birds with 1 stone. I won’t be going during December or January though, as there is no way that I could tolerate that long a period of darkness lol.
This is the perfect guide for the Northern Lights in Iceland! I’ve always wanted to see them and this guide will really help me plan the trip and finally check that one off my bucket list!
I have never seen the Northern Lights, but I have always wanted to! If we could travel right now, I’d head to Iceland on the next flight after seeing your pictures 🙂 Maybe next year… I need to get a real camera for this trip so this gives me time to get one and figure out how to use it, lol!
Seeing the northern lights is a bucket list item for me and these tips are so good! I love your stance on not taking a tour to see the lights, I would want to experience this on my own too!
Somehow, I’m developing a thing for the northern country recently. I would love to visit Norway and, obviously, also Iceland. Not only for the northern lights but mainly for the hot springs. The thought alone makes me shiver of joy….:-)
These points are so helpful. I have seen the southern lights but not the northern. I’ve been to Iceland twice once in early March and spent over a week doing the full ring road and trying to track them in the car. Another in the middle of winter and stayed hours away from a town but still nothing. Iceland is well worth it either way, hopefully third time lucky with it. I’ll have to put all of this in consideration and maybe aim for the peak. I am Hoping to see them in lapland though and have that booked (now for next winter due to covid)
Wow, I truly loved the article, it is super handy. We travel from different countries to witness this phenomenon and often miss it, due to ill preparation. After reading your article I realized seeing northern light involves some preparation too, it is not only luck. I am saving your article to be read again when I would be traveling to Iceland.
aaaah! Iceland has been on my list for so many years and I actually had to refuse a volunteering opportunity there because of covid. Your post gave me such amazing vibes. I really need to visit it one day!
I believe all your tips. And your photos show how much success you built into your adventure!
AMAZING photos. This has been a buck list item for our both. We’re closer to retirement and will have more flexible schedules soon. Thanks for the wonderful tips and ideas.
We were in Iceland in September 2019 and were really lucky to see the Northern lights on 3 out of 10 nights! We did pretty much everything you recommended – the website that tracks the possibility, find places that are remote, in the dark and followed the weather update about clear areas rather than cloudy. One thing I realized, although you do increase the possibility of seeing the lights in darker areas, on one of the evenings, the lights were so bright that I saw them from downtown Reykjavik! Magical experience.
Amen! I wouldn’t know what to add to this post! The camera settings are top notch!
As you mentioned we have to be ready at any time of the night to see them and follow the aurora activity on the app and therefore truly chase them! But once there are visible, it’s simply stunning! We met people who said they didn’t get lucky seeing them but I believe you have to put some effort into it.
Maybe a final tip: a campervan is the best way to increase your chances to see them, as you can pick your next stop according to the weather forecast and completely reroute if necessary! It’s also quite cool to wait inside the van in the highlands and wait for the aurora to show up with a cup of tea.
Great blog, really who doesn’t want to see northern lights. It is so fabulous and joyful experience to watch the Aurora. The blog is quite helpful to list the places where the northern lights can be seen and tips on how to track them.
The Incredible experience of gazing at northern lights in the dark is marvelous, I think it should be on everyone’s bucket list of “Must see before you die”
Great tips! I didn’t see the northern lights in Iceland because I went in summer (in fact, I didn’t even see a night sky!), so it is something I’ve thought about doing in future trips there – and now I know what to do 🙂
Amazing tips, this really makes me hopeful of catching the lights once I finally cross Iceland off my bucket list! 🙂
I hope you do too! It’s a lifetime memory for sure.

Exploring Fake Hermès Handbags: A Detailed Analysis
The sphere of high-end fashion has consistently been captivated by Hermes bags, particularly their legendary Kelly and Birkin styles.
These in-demand items embody sophistication, workmanship,
and exclusivity, with prices varying from 10,000 dollars to more than $500,000 for rare versions.
With such high value and demand, it’s predictable that Hermes has emerged as one of the most imitated high-end names in the global
market.
The Legacy of Hermes
Launched in 1837 as a harness store in Paris, Hermes commenced by creating fine leather equestrian accessories.
The house’s dedication to extraordinary craftsmanship was created early and endures to be their distinction currently.
Each Hermes craftsman requires a minimum of two years of apprenticeship
before they can create their first purse, exemplifying the house’s commitment to excellence.
The renowned Kelly bag was unveiled in 1935 (first called the “Sac à dépêches”), while the renowned
Birkin launched in 1982 following a random conversation between Hermès chief executive Jean-Louis Dumas and icon Birkin on a plane journey from
Paris to London.
The Expansion of Imitation Hermès Bags
The extraordinary desirability and steep prices of authentic Hermes bags have
generated a massive demand for replicas. Modern surveys demonstrate that nearly ninety percent of all Hermes Birkin and Kelly bags sold on the internet aren’t
genuine, producing significant obstacles for buyers seeking the
authentic item.
Today’s counterfeiters have developed increasingly refined, applying sophisticated approaches to manufacture persuasive copies that can be challenging to
tell apart from original pieces at first glance. These replicas vary
from inferior obvious fakes to “mirror images” that mimic many
details of original Hermès handbags.
How to Detect Genuine Hermes Purses
When inspecting a Hermès bag to confirm its legitimacy, professionals
examine numerous key elements:
1. Workmanship and Leather
Original Hermes bags are manually created with the premium tier skins and
excellent craftsmanship. The skin should be supple and flexible with a characteristic leather smell that
forgers cannot copy. The metal parts should be solid, crafted
from precious metals that doesn’t tarnish or peel easily.
2. Stitching
One interesting element is that because original Hermes purses are artisan-made, the
thread work should actually have slight imperfections.
Counterfeits are usually mechanically produced, so they are completely uniform
with one other. Hermes uses a specific hand-stitching approach originating from their saddle-making
background.
3. Branding and Imprinting
The Hermès mark stamp should read “Hermès Paris Made in France” text on 3
lines with crisp clean embossing. On replica Hermes bags, the logo would
appear odd, oversized, or rectangular and might have fuzzy edges or uneven spacing.
4. Metal components and Elements
The metal elements on genuine Hermes bags incorporates special features like accurate markings, quality closures,
and properly attached feet. Hermès manufactures its custom zippers, so you should not ever find a YKK or
different brand’s logo on the hardware.
5. Verification Markers
Interestingly, Hermes does not provide authenticity cards with their handbags.
They never have and likely will never. If you’ve acquired
a Hermès bag and found an authenticity card with it, it is most definitely a fake.
The Societal Issues
The knockoff industry presents significant social issues.
While fake bags may look equivalent to real ones, they are produced without the quality standards,
fair working conditions, or ecological guidelines that authentic luxury houses
follow. Besides, the knockoff industry has
been tied to illegal operations and worker mistreatment.
Conclusion

Hey very interesting blog!
Hello, I think your blog might be having browser compatibility issues.
When I look at your website in Opera, it looks fine but when opening in Internet Explorer, it has some
overlapping. I just wanted to give you a quick heads up!
Other then that, very good blog!
Good day! This is kind of off topic but I need some advice
from an established blog. Is it hard to set up your own blog?
I’m not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty quick.
I’m thinking about creating my own but I’m not sure where to begin. Do you have any ideas or suggestions?
With thanks
Excellent blog! Do you have any tips and hints for aspiring writers?
I’m planning to start my own blog soon but I’m a little
lost on everything. Would you advise starting with a free platform like WordPress or go for
a paid option? There are so many options out there that I’m completely overwhelmed ..
Any recommendations? Bless you!
