Northern Lights and the Haystacks

For the fourth night in a row I had been drafted to guide and as often, I was a bit fearful. As you probably have heard, Thursday had been a high point in term of solar activity and it is quite common to have a sharp decline in solar activity (and consequently in Northern Lights) immediately afterwards. We nevertheless picked our guest as usual, this time a in a 19 seater mini-bus and drove out of the city. For this particular night, we thought about driving towards Þingvellir as it appeared that the clearest skies would be East of the city. We consequently drove there and stopped by a dal

Northern Lights in Reykjavík (The strongest ones I ever saw)

Dear Friends, today I will be a man of few words. Yesterday, we experienced some extremely strong Northern-Lights. The Solar activity levels started rising up like crazy already by 18:00 and as we started the tour, a bit before 21:00 you could already see some Northern Lights. I was then really scared that everything would be gone before we could find a good place out of the city lights, but as we drove just a couple of minutes North of Reykjavík the Aurora grew stronger, and stronger, and stronger… We jumped out of the bus on the first parking space available. What followed was, quite s

For the second day in a row, I was given the task to go out and hunt the Northern Lights, and for the second day in a row, I was quite fearful of the tour’s outcome. Just like the day before, Solar activity and Weather forecast looked blight at best, and while on Tuesday we managed, I still don’t know how, to find the Aurora, I still wasn’t certain we would be able to do so on Wednesday. Anyway, we picked up our guests for Thingholt Hotel and this time, everyone showed up! Generally there’re always a couple people who get lost, get stolen by another company and so on, but not this time! Onc

There are days when you know you’re going to have a hard time seeing the Northern Lights. Last night was one of those nights. Basically, we had been lucky to enjoy a week of quite strong solar activity, coupled with great clear skies. As far as the reading went, it seemed that last night was to have very little to no solar activity and very thick cloud covering. We went out nevertheless and headed towards the South Coast, where the skies were supposed to be at least partially open towards midnight. We headed therefore south, crossing Hafnarfjörður and entered the Eastern part of the Suðurn

The great thing about being a Northern Lights hunter is that your average day is far from average. It is impossible to say how any given tour will go and while sometimes you end up seeing nothing at all, the fact of not knowing the outcome or the unfolding of the tour brings much excitement! Like last night, for example, the Weather and Solar Activity levels were a bit worrying and it seemed that we might end up going home without seeing anything…Well, it was the total opposite! We drove out with a relatively tiny group (23 pax) and set off to Reykjanes. As usual, we had to escape the Light

  The other day I got a call from my boss…and I guess you know what happened next. Yes, I had been booked for a Northern Lights tour! I hadn’t been called for over a week since the four rather good days we had in the beginning of the month. This time, it looked like the Solar Activity was going to be quite okay but that the Weather might be a problem (well, it’s like always a problem if you ask me). But this time I was given the task of guiding a group in a mini-bus and it sounded all quite nice! We started the tour at about nine and picked up our guests at their various hotels and guesth

  For the fourth day in a row I had been drafted to go out Northern Lights hunting. The past three nights had already been quite successful with Northern Lights way stronger than average and I feared that the Aurora would recede, or even completely fade away after such a bountiful week-end. Uncertain about the evening’s fate, I boarded the bus and picked up our guests. The weather forecast had announced extremely cloudy weather for just about everywhere in Iceland and it was with some surprise that, as we headed for Mount Esja, we spotted numerous stars, clear signs that we had some decent

So, for two days in a row I had the chance of experiencing some really really strong, almost life-shattering Northern Lights (here, and here). Yet as I was been drafted for a third night out in the wilderness I contemplated the sad conclusion that it would be very unlikely to experience Northern Lights of such an intensity for a third Night in a row. And indeed, the Northern Lights were real weak for most of the evening. The skies were real clear though, and we headed out towards Þingvellir and soon the (almost) full moon was lighting up the frost-covered hills. It was a sight to behold, fo

  So, you might have read my last post, where I told the tale of the incredible evening we had in the southern tip of Suðurnes. This was Friday, yesterday, on Saturday then, I was drafted for yet another tour. Considering how strong the Northern Lights had been on the night before I was a bit afraid we would get to see much less, as it is often the case after a strong surge in solar activity. We nevertheless drove out of the city, heading, as often, towards the tip of the Reykjanes Peninsula. The weather was sensibly worse than the night before and we did not stop until we had left Hafnarf
