One of the most magical experiences in Iceland is witnessing the Northern Lights, or Aurora Borealis. The best time to see this natural phenomenon is between September and April when the nights are longest.
Some of the best places to view the lights include Thingvellir National Park, the Snaefellsnes Peninsula, and Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon.
For the best experience, find a location with minimal light pollution and check the aurora forecast before heading out. Many guided tours are available to increase the chances of a successful sighting, offering travelers a breathtaking view of the dancing colors in the sky.
