These Shots of Northern Lights over Reykjavik are Otherworldly

While not the very best place to observe the Aurora Borealis — or the Northern Lights — due to the light pollution, Reykjavik does offer the convenience of staying in a hotel or guesthouse, unlike the mountains where you’d need to go to to see the auroras at their peak.

The Northern Lights can be experienced in Reykjavik during the winter time. Cloudy weather or bright moonlight would dramatically decrease the intensity of the colors, so be on a lookout for clear, crisp nights for the most unforgettable experience!
