Northern lights – Good to Know

One of Iceland’s most popular attractions in winter are the northern lights.

Northern lights can only be seen in winter (usually from early September until the middle of April). Two things must go hand in hand in order for northern lights to be visible: The sky has to be at least partially clear, and the sun has to be throwing fast moving solar wind towards Earth.
