Best time to see northern lights in Iceland

Northern lights in Iceland may be viewed from September through March, and they're among the most breathtaking sights you'll ever see.

It need to be dark to see the Northern Lights.

Best place to see Northern Lights in Iceland

Because the likelihood of seeing the Northern Lights is so variable and dependent on many factors, including weather and cloud coverage, there is no definitive answer to this question.

What cause the northern lights?
  • As we now know, the collision of solar winds with the Earth's magnetic field is what causes the Northern Lights to appear. They occur in the upper atmosphere, where their colors and forms are determined by the altitudes at which they appear and the acceleration of the sun particles.
  • The Northern Lights, or Norðurljós in Icelandic, are a spectacular show of lights dancing across the night sky, resembling a gigantic fire from a distance, with magnificent flames blazing over the whole sky in continual motion. For millennia, the Northern Lights have captivated people with their vibrant hues and hypnotic movement.

Best time to visit

Reykjavík is rewarding year-round, but spring and early autumn typically bring the most comfortable temperatures and thinner crowds than peak summer. Morning departures tend to be quieter and cooler; booking ahead is recommended in high season as popular nature tours slots in Reykjavík sell out.
