Iceland Northern Lights Thursday September 14th 2023 10 pm #northernlights

The northern lights, or the aurora borealis, are beautiful dancing waves of light that have captivated people for millennia. But for all its beauty, this spectacular light show is a rather violent event.

The northern lights are caused by electrically charged particles from the sun smashing into Earth's magnetic field. This "solar wind" is funneled down to the magnetic poles of the northern and southern hemispheres, creating a horseshoe shape of excited green, red, and blue particles that swivel and shape-shift over the Arctic Circle — and they happen constantly. All you need is darkness and cloud-free skies to see them.

Iceland is one of the best places in the world to see the aurora borealis (also known as the northern lights). Here, at 65° N on the southern edge of the Arctic Circle, you can see auroras almost every night — and in warmer temperatures than many other viewing locations around the world.
