OVERVIEW
The Northern Lights, or Aurora Borealis, are a spectacular natural phenomenon often visible in Iceland from late September to mid-April. Caused by charged solar particles colliding with the Earth’s atmosphere, the lights create shimmering displays of green, pink, and purple that dance across the night sky. Iceland's remote landscapes, low light pollution, and long winter nights make it one of the best places in the world to see them. Whether viewed from a quiet countryside spot, a glacier lagoon, or even a geothermal hot spring, witnessing the Northern Lights in Iceland is an unforgettable experience that draws travelers from around the globe.
