Here’s something that I’ll say about chasing the Northern Lights in Iceland…..in February. No matter how rugged up you think you are — you’re not. If you think you have too many pairs of socks on … you don’t. Do whatever you can to stay as warm as you can while you’re out there waiting for those Northern Lights, because you could be out there for a very, very long time.
The lights were …. well … pretty fantastic friends even despite the bitter cold wait.
Just magnificent, people. The light Gods were with us that night, and it was an experience we’ll absolutely never forget.
