No worries. Gr\u00f3tta Lighthouse is just outside the city and offers great views of the auroras over the ocean \u2014 perfect for a quick lights chase. Located at the Seltjarnarnes Peninsula, this spot is one of the darkest inside the capital area<br \/>\nHere, you will automatically face North if you observe the lighthouse. This is the direction where the lights usually occur from.<\/p>\n<h6>Pro Tips<\/h6>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Arrive Early for Best Positioning<\/strong>: Gr\u00f3tta is popular, especially during aurora season. Arriving early lets you secure the best spots, particularly if you want to include the iconic Gr\u00f3tta lighthouse as a foreground element. This helps frame the Northern Lights beautifully, adding structure to your composition.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Tide Awareness<\/strong>: Check the tide schedule before heading out. Gr\u00f3tta is surrounded by water, and at high tide, some of the pathways can be inaccessible. Don&#8217;t get stuck on the island!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Settings for Northern Lights<\/strong>: Use a tripod and set your exposure between 5-20 seconds, depending on aurora intensity. A wide-angle lens is ideal, allowing you to capture both the lights and the expansive coastal landscape. Also, keep your ISO between 1600-3200, adjusting for the aurora&#8217;s brightness and the surrounding darkness.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Foreground Interest with the Lighthouse<\/strong>: Including Gr\u00f3tta lighthouse in your shot adds a sense of place and scale, creating a captivating focal point against the dancing lights. Use the lighthouse to frame your photo or as a silhouette to emphasize the vibrant sky.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Capture Reflections in Pools<\/strong>: If the tide is low, look for shallow pools along the beach that can mirror the auroras. As these reflections add a layer of depth and visual interest, the lights appear even more magical.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=&#8221;https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/3tyWWuz5BAWyiKoy6&#8243; url_new_window=&#8221;on&#8221; button_text=&#8221;How to get there&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; custom_button=&#8221;on&#8221; button_text_color=&#8221;#1a1a1a&#8221; button_border_color=&#8221;#1a1a1a&#8221; button_border_radius=&#8221;0px&#8221; button_letter_spacing=&#8221;4px&#8221; button_font=&#8221;Oswald|on||on|&#8221; button_icon=&#8221;&#x24;||divi||400&#8243; button_icon_color=&#8221;#1a1a1a&#8221; animation_style=&#8221;zoom&#8221; animation_direction=&#8221;left&#8221; animation_delay=&#8221;300ms&#8221; animation_intensity_zoom=&#8221;10%&#8221; button_text_color_hover=&#8221;#1a1a1a&#8221; button_border_color_hover=&#8221;#1a1a1a&#8221; button_border_radius_hover=&#8221;0px&#8221; button_letter_spacing_hover=&#8221;4px&#8221; button_bg_color_hover=&#8221;rgba(0,0,0,0)&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; button_text_size__hover_enabled=&#8221;off&#8221; button_one_text_size__hover_enabled=&#8221;off&#8221; button_two_text_size__hover_enabled=&#8221;off&#8221; button_text_color__hover_enabled=&#8221;on&#8221; button_text_color__hover=&#8221;#1a1a1a&#8221; button_one_text_color__hover_enabled=&#8221;off&#8221; button_two_text_color__hover_enabled=&#8221;off&#8221; button_border_width__hover_enabled=&#8221;off&#8221; button_one_border_width__hover_enabled=&#8221;off&#8221; button_two_border_width__hover_enabled=&#8221;off&#8221; button_border_color__hover_enabled=&#8221;on&#8221; button_border_color__hover=&#8221;#1a1a1a&#8221; button_one_border_color__hover_enabled=&#8221;off&#8221; button_two_border_color__hover_enabled=&#8221;off&#8221; button_border_radius__hover_enabled=&#8221;on&#8221; button_border_radius__hover=&#8221;0px&#8221; button_one_border_radius__hover_enabled=&#8221;off&#8221; button_two_border_radius__hover_enabled=&#8221;off&#8221; button_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=&#8221;on&#8221; button_letter_spacing__hover=&#8221;4px&#8221; button_one_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=&#8221;off&#8221; button_two_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=&#8221;off&#8221; button_bg_color__hover_enabled=&#8221;on&#8221; button_bg_color__hover=&#8221;rgba(0,0,0,0)&#8221; button_one_bg_color__hover_enabled=&#8221;off&#8221; button_two_bg_color__hover_enabled=&#8221;off&#8221;][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_2,1_2&#8243; admin_label=&#8221;Package&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;|||&#8221;][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Package Title&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; header_font=&#8221;Oswald||||||||&#8221; header_2_font=&#8221;Oswald||||||||&#8221; header_3_font=&#8221;Oswald||||||||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2>2.

Stand slightly off-center to avoid getting splashed when Strokkur erupts, and choose a spot that gives you a good view of the surrounding landscape for added depth in your shots.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Know the Timing<\/strong>: Strokkur erupts roughly every 5-10 minutes, so keep your camera ready. Use a fast shutter speed to freeze the explosive moment or slow it down for a softer, mistier effect, especially in lower light.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Capturing Northern Lights<\/strong>: If you\u2019re photographing the auroras, a tripod is essential. Set your exposure between 5-15 seconds, depending on the light intensity, and adjust your ISO to capture enough detail without too much noise.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Consider the Foreground<\/strong>: The pools around Strokkur reflect the Northern Lights beautifully.

It&#8217;s better to walk a bit further away along the road, to get the full waterfall, but also leave enough space for the sky.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Foreground Elements<\/strong>: The spray from the falls adds a beautiful, misty quality to your shots. Experiment with compositions using the water as your foreground and the auroras as the backdrop. This layered effect can create a truly dynamic image.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Protect Your Gear<\/strong>: Be prepared for the spray\u2014it can fog up your lens and make for a slippery walk behind the falls. Bring lens cloths and protective covers, especially if you&#8217;re trying for shots from behind.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Get Creative with Light<\/strong>: Try including a soft light source, like a headlamp or low-output flashlight, to gently illuminate parts of the foreground. This can add depth to your photo, highlighting details in the rocks and water without overpowering the natural light from the auroras. Seljalandsfoss itself is illuminated at night, making it tricky for close-ups, unless you stack images with different exposure times.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=&#8221;https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/X64KwwWGUEXmKga86&#8243; url_new_window=&#8221;on&#8221; button_text=&#8221;How to get there&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; custom_button=&#8221;on&#8221; button_text_color=&#8221;#1a1a1a&#8221; button_border_color=&#8221;#1a1a1a&#8221; button_border_radius=&#8221;0px&#8221; button_letter_spacing=&#8221;4px&#8221; button_font=&#8221;Oswald|on||on|&#8221; button_icon=&#8221;&#x24;||divi||400&#8243; button_icon_color=&#8221;#1a1a1a&#8221; animation_style=&#8221;zoom&#8221; animation_direction=&#8221;left&#8221; animation_delay=&#8221;300ms&#8221; animation_intensity_zoom=&#8221;10%&#8221; button_text_color_hover=&#8221;#1a1a1a&#8221; button_border_color_hover=&#8221;#1a1a1a&#8221; button_border_radius_hover=&#8221;0px&#8221; button_letter_spacing_hover=&#8221;4px&#8221; button_bg_color_hover=&#8221;rgba(0,0,0,0)&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; button_text_size__hover_enabled=&#8221;off&#8221; button_one_text_size__hover_enabled=&#8221;off&#8221; button_two_text_size__hover_enabled=&#8221;off&#8221; button_text_color__hover_enabled=&#8221;on&#8221; button_text_color__hover=&#8221;#1a1a1a&#8221; button_one_text_color__hover_enabled=&#8221;off&#8221; button_two_text_color__hover_enabled=&#8221;off&#8221; button_border_width__hover_enabled=&#8221;off&#8221; button_one_border_width__hover_enabled=&#8221;off&#8221; button_two_border_width__hover_enabled=&#8221;off&#8221; button_border_color__hover_enabled=&#8221;on&#8221; button_border_color__hover=&#8221;#1a1a1a&#8221; button_one_border_color__hover_enabled=&#8221;off&#8221; button_two_border_color__hover_enabled=&#8221;off&#8221; button_border_radius__hover_enabled=&#8221;on&#8221; button_border_radius__hover=&#8221;0px&#8221; button_one_border_radius__hover_enabled=&#8221;off&#8221; button_two_border_radius__hover_enabled=&#8221;off&#8221; button_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=&#8221;on&#8221; button_letter_spacing__hover=&#8221;4px&#8221; button_one_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=&#8221;off&#8221; button_two_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=&#8221;off&#8221; button_bg_color__hover_enabled=&#8221;on&#8221; button_bg_color__hover=&#8221;rgba(0,0,0,0)&#8221; button_one_bg_color__hover_enabled=&#8221;off&#8221; button_two_bg_color__hover_enabled=&#8221;off&#8221;][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_2,1_2&#8243; admin_label=&#8221;Package&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;|||&#8221;][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Package Title&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2>10.

Known for its 2010 eruption that captivated the world, this glacier-covered volcano is a powerful reminder of Iceland\u2019s natural force and beauty, and under the Northern Lights, it becomes a surreal spectacle.<\/p>\n<h6>Here are some tips for capturing its magic:<\/h6>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Check Aurora and Weather Forecasts<\/strong>: The glacier sits at high elevation and can often be shrouded in clouds or mist. For aurora photography, you\u2019ll need clear skies and moderate to high solar activity for the Northern Lights to be visible over the glacier.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Find a Vantage Point<\/strong>: Eyjafjallaj\u00f6kull is vast, so finding a spot with an open view is essential. Look for higher ground nearby or fields in the surrounding area for a perspective that lets you capture both the glacier and the night sky. A wide-angle lens is ideal here to include both the expansive landscape and the auroras.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Adjust for Darkness<\/strong>: The glacier and surrounding terrain can be quite dark at night. Use a tripod and set a long exposure\u2014around 10-25 seconds\u2014to capture detail in the glacier and sky. Keep your ISO between 1600-3200 and experiment with aperture settings to balance sharpness and light.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Include Foreground Elements<\/strong>: If possible, incorporate some foreground elements like the rolling hills or even local landmarks such as the \u00de\u00f3rsm\u00f6rk valley, adding depth to your composition. The layers of land, glacier, and auroras create a powerful visual story.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Be Prepared for Harsh Conditions<\/strong>: Iceland\u2019s weather can be extreme around Eyjafjallaj\u00f6kull, especially at night. Bring protective covers for your gear and warm clothing for yourself.

Located just outside the village of Raufarh\u00f6fn, it\u2019s easily reachable by car via Route 85, though visitors should be prepared for potential rough roads and winter conditions in the colder months.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=&#8221;https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/hqnmWZApbqcnPndu8&#8243; url_new_window=&#8221;on&#8221; button_text=&#8221;How to get there&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; custom_button=&#8221;on&#8221; button_text_color=&#8221;#1a1a1a&#8221; button_border_color=&#8221;#1a1a1a&#8221; button_border_radius=&#8221;0px&#8221; button_letter_spacing=&#8221;4px&#8221; button_font=&#8221;Oswald|on||on|&#8221; button_icon=&#8221;&#x24;||divi||400&#8243; button_icon_color=&#8221;#1a1a1a&#8221; animation_style=&#8221;zoom&#8221; animation_direction=&#8221;left&#8221; animation_delay=&#8221;300ms&#8221; animation_intensity_zoom=&#8221;10%&#8221; button_text_color_hover=&#8221;#1a1a1a&#8221; button_border_color_hover=&#8221;#1a1a1a&#8221; button_border_radius_hover=&#8221;0px&#8221; button_letter_spacing_hover=&#8221;4px&#8221; button_bg_color_hover=&#8221;rgba(0,0,0,0)&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; button_text_size__hover_enabled=&#8221;off&#8221; button_one_text_size__hover_enabled=&#8221;off&#8221; button_two_text_size__hover_enabled=&#8221;off&#8221; button_text_color__hover_enabled=&#8221;on&#8221; button_text_color__hover=&#8221;#1a1a1a&#8221; button_one_text_color__hover_enabled=&#8221;off&#8221; button_two_text_color__hover_enabled=&#8221;off&#8221; button_border_width__hover_enabled=&#8221;off&#8221; button_one_border_width__hover_enabled=&#8221;off&#8221; button_two_border_width__hover_enabled=&#8221;off&#8221; button_border_color__hover_enabled=&#8221;on&#8221; button_border_color__hover=&#8221;#1a1a1a&#8221; button_one_border_color__hover_enabled=&#8221;off&#8221; button_two_border_color__hover_enabled=&#8221;off&#8221; button_border_radius__hover_enabled=&#8221;on&#8221; button_border_radius__hover=&#8221;0px&#8221; button_one_border_radius__hover_enabled=&#8221;off&#8221; button_two_border_radius__hover_enabled=&#8221;off&#8221; button_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=&#8221;on&#8221; button_letter_spacing__hover=&#8221;4px&#8221; button_one_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=&#8221;off&#8221; button_two_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=&#8221;off&#8221; button_bg_color__hover_enabled=&#8221;on&#8221; button_bg_color__hover=&#8221;rgba(0,0,0,0)&#8221; button_one_bg_color__hover_enabled=&#8221;off&#8221; button_two_bg_color__hover_enabled=&#8221;off&#8221;][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;|||&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/aurorareykjavik.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Myvatn-02.jpg&#8221; alt=&#8221;Northern lights dance over the stone sculptures at the arctic henge, with the moon seen through the stone arch&#8221; title_text=&#8221;arctic-henge-best-location&#8221; align_tablet=&#8221;center&#8221; align_phone=&#8221;&#8221; align_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;Package Image&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; animation_style=&#8221;fold&#8221; animation_direction=&#8221;right&#8221; animation_intensity_fold=&#8221;20%&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_2,1_2&#8243; admin_label=&#8221;Package&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;|||&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/aurorareykjavik.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Myvatn-16.jpg&#8221; alt=&#8221;Green northern lights dance over the massive Dettifoss waterfall, illuminated by the full moon&#8221; title_text=&#8221;dettifoss-best-places&#8221; align_tablet=&#8221;center&#8221; align_phone=&#8221;&#8221; align_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;Package Image&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; animation_style=&#8221;fold&#8221; animation_direction=&#8221;right&#8221; animation_intensity_fold=&#8221;20%&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;|||&#8221;][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Package Title&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2>17.
