Beer Spa and Northern Lights from Akureyri via Amazing North

The bright dancing lights of the aurora are actually collisions between electrically charged particles from the sun that enter the earth’s atmosphere. The lights are seen above the magnetic poles of the northern and southern hemispheres. They are known as ‘Aurora borealis’ in the north and ‘Aurora Australis’ in the south.

The experience of seeing the Northern Lights dancing in the sky is an experience no one ever forgets! On this comfortable Jeep tour we drive out into the darkness for a unique experience in search of the incredible light show by Aurora Borealis. North Iceland is sometimes referred to as the capital of Northern lights is a great spot to see the Aurora Borealis because of the frequency of sightings and also because there is a vast wilderness with minimal light pollution.

The Northern Lights, or the Aurora Borealis, are a natural phenomenon visible in the Northern Hemisphere. A unique display of light caused by a particle collision in the magnetic field of the polar caps. The location for the tours are not pre-organized, our experienced guides will bring you to a location to the best of their knowledge that maximizes our chances of catching the lights.

During the winter months from mid-September to March, when there are complete darkness and clear skies, we get the chance to see the awesome display of Northern Lights.
