Here are some of the commonly visited places in Iceland to view the Aurora Borealis:
Reykjavik: Reykjavik itself has a fair amount of light pollution, which can diminish the visibility of the Aurora. While Grótta is slightly removed from the city center, it’s not enough to completely escape the light interference.
Akureyri: This city in North Iceland is a popular choice for aurora hunters because of its remote location and minimal light pollution.
Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon: This otherworldly lagoon is a popular spot for photographers and aurora enthusiasts alike. The combination of the Northern Lights and the glaciers reflecting in the water can create a truly magical scene.
Snæfellsnes Peninsula: Nicknamed “Iceland in Miniature,” this peninsula offers a variety of landscapes to explore, all of which can be beautiful backdrops for the Northern Lights.
Westfjords: This remote region of Iceland is known for its dramatic scenery and lack of light pollution, making it a great place to see the Aurora Borealis. However, keep in mind that due to its remoteness, it is also less accessible and requires more planning to get to.
These are just a few of the many places in Iceland where you can see the Aurora Borealis. With its long hours of darkness in the winter and relatively low light pollution, Iceland is one of the best places in the world to witness this natural phenomenon.
