FAQ about the Northern Lights<\/h1>\n
\nDuring this long period, Iceland experiences sufficient darkness<\/strong> for the Aurora to be visible at night.
\nHowever, chances<\/strong> of experiencing the northern lights vary depending on the time of year<\/strong>. Find out which months are the best<\/strong> for seeing the Aurora here<\/a>.[\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”Why can’t I see any northern lights in the summer ?” open_toggle_background_color=”RGBA(255,255,255,0)” closed_toggle_background_color=”RGBA(255,255,255,0)” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ title_text_color=”#FFFFFF” body_text_color=”#FFFFFF” background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” border_radii=”on|20px|20px|20px|20px” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” global_colors_info=”{}”]To be able to see the northern lights you need sufficient darkness<\/strong>. During summer<\/strong> we have what we call the \u201cmidnight sun<\/strong>\u201d, meaning that there are no hours of actual nighttime<\/strong> darkness. These conditions are perfect for late night hiking and exploring, but make it impossible for us to observe the Aurora<\/strong> in Iceland between May and early August<\/strong>.
\nWant to know more about light conditions in Iceland<\/strong>? Check the sun graph<\/a> and learn about twilight and dusk<\/a> in Iceland.[\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”What time do the northern lights show up?” open_toggle_background_color=”RGBA(255,255,255,0)” closed_toggle_background_color=”RGBA(255,255,255,0)” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ title_text_color=”#FFFFFF” body_text_color=”#FFFFFF” background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” border_radii=”on|20px|20px|20px|20px” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” global_colors_info=”{}”]Northern lights are statistically<\/strong> often seen between 9:00pm and 1:00am<\/strong>, but they may appear at any time as long as it is dark<\/strong> (and the sky clear<\/a>).
\nDuring the winter months, when the hours of light are limited, the northern lights can often appear as early at 7:00pm.
\nAs the exact time<\/strong> of an Aurora display cannot be predicted<\/strong>, keep your eyes at the sky<\/strong>. And remember, patience is key<\/strong>!<\/p>\n
\nEach northern lights display is different, and varies in duration<\/strong>. Furthermore, the northern lights are not always visible for the entire duration of a single Auroral episode: they often change in intensity<\/strong> throughout a single display, and can go from very bright to incredibly faint, to the point they are hardly visible at all any more.
\nLearn more about how the northern lights behave duration-wise here<\/a>.[\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”Can I see the northern lights when it is cloudy?” open_toggle_background_color=”RGBA(255,255,255,0)” closed_toggle_background_color=”RGBA(255,255,255,0)” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ title_text_color=”#FFFFFF” body_text_color=”#FFFFFF” background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” border_radii=”on|20px|20px|20px|20px” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” global_colors_info=”{}”]Well, that depends. First of all, Iceland<\/strong> is well-known for its unpredictable weather<\/strong>: the fact that it is cloudy now does not mean that the sky will still be cloudy 5 minutes from now.
\nAs long as we can find some gaps in the cloud cover<\/strong>, some windows of clear sky – there’s hope<\/strong>.
\nAnd, even when it’s cloudy, keep in mind that not all clouds are the same<\/strong>. For example, high clouds are often see-through and do not necessarily disrupt our view. Rule of thumb<\/strong>: if you can see the stars<\/strong>, you can potentially
