Guide to aurora during spring trip in Iceland

Everyone If you are eager to see the Northern Lights, take advantage of the less crowded season of April and it is not too expensive. Of course, you can go to Iceland, the Holy Land of Aurora, to realize your dream~

The Inuit believe that the Northern Lights are the souls of the dead; Scandinavian folklore describes them as the spirits of unmarried women; the Japanese believe that children conceived under these dancing lights will have a lucky life.

These magical curtains of colorful light across the northern night sky are the product of solar wind. Seeing the Northern Lights is on the "bucket list" of countless people, and they will all arrive in Iceland, praying for good viewing conditions while looking up to the sky.

Where to see it? How to see it?

You can see the Northern Lights in a clear, dark sky at any time from mid-September to mid-April of the following year. All it takes to see the Northern Lights is a dark, cloudless night and a little luck, it's that simple.

Many tour companies offer "Northern Lights Tours" (by boat, jeep or coach), which essentially take you to an area with less light pollution and less cloud cover to increase your ability to see the North Pole The probability of light.

It is possible to go on your own, but we do not recommend that inexperienced motorists chase clear night skies over remote snowy terrain.

We recommend heading to viewpoints outside Reykjavik, and also booking a few nights at a country hotel, as many hotels will offer wake-up calls so you can see the Northern Lights in the middle of the night. It’s worth noting that you don’t have to leave the city to see the Northern Lights.

When the auroras are strong, they can be seen even from Reykjavik.

The striking archipelago of VESTMANNAEYJAR is home to the largest puffin colony in the world. To the delight of birdwatching fans and photographers, huge numbers of puffins (estimated at 10 million) migrate in during the breeding season, and their habitats are spread across Iceland.

The jagged Westmann Islands consist of 15 small black islands off the southern coast. This archipelago was formed by an undersea volcanic eruption about 11,000 years ago. Except for the new member of the archipelago, Surtsey, the remaining 14 islands all protruded from the sea in 1963.

Hema Island is the only inhabited island among them, and it is also a bird-watching destination worthy of puffin fans.

Stórh?fei (122 meters above sea level) is a rocky peninsula located at the southern end of Hema Island. A narrow isthmus (formed by lava from the eruption of Helga 5,000 years ago) separates Stórh?fei. Fei is connected to the mainland, and you can see the magnificent scenery from its top.

There is a small bird watching cabin halfway up the mountain, as well as Kervíkurfjall and stakkabót are ideal places to watch puffins.

Towards the west coast, several treacherous paths wind up the steep slopes around Herjólfsdalur and along the top of Noreklettur to Stafnsnes, a major puffin breeding area. The ascents are very exhilarating but there are also some steep descents.

In ofanleitishamar, hundreds of puffins nest on the cliffs. Lupine flowers

Since the end of spring, one of the most beautiful highlights in Iceland is the Lupine flowers all over the mountains and plains, adding a touch of vitality to the cold weather of Iceland. Want to see lupine flowers? You’re right to go to the small town of Vik!
