First of all, <strong>Iceland<\/strong> is well-known for its <strong>unpredictable weather<\/strong>: the fact that it is cloudy now does not mean that the sky will still be cloudy 5 minutes from now. As long as we can find some <strong>gaps in the cloud cover<\/strong>, some windows of clear sky &#8211; <strong>there&#8217;s hope<\/strong>. And, even when it&#8217;s cloudy, keep in mind that <strong>not all clouds are the same<\/strong>. For example, high clouds are often see-through and do not necessarily disrupt our view. <strong>Rule of thumb<\/strong>: if you can <strong>see the stars<\/strong>, you can potentially <strong>see the northern lights<\/strong> too.
