关于北极光
我什么时候可以在冰岛看到北极光?
冰岛的极光季节从八月下旬开始,一直持续到四月中旬。
什么时候是观赏北极光的最佳时机?
在冬季:没有固定的最佳时间来观赏极光!
极光的可见性依赖于多个因素:黑暗的环境,清澈的天空,以及太阳活动。
话虽如此,统计数据指出十月和三月是最适合碰碰运气的月份。那时的天气通常较为稳定,降水较少。
为什么夏天看不到北极光?
要看到北极光,您需要完全的黑暗。在夏季,我们有所谓的“午夜太阳”,这意味着没有真正的夜晚黑暗时段。这些条件非常适合深夜远足,但使得我们无法在冰岛的五月到八月初观察到极光。
要查看太阳图并了解雷克雅未克的光照平衡,请访问以下页面:
https://www.timeanddate.com/sun/iceland/reykjavik
https://www.timeanddate.com/astronomy/different-types-twilight.html
我应该去哪儿看北极光?
提前几个小时很难判断哪里是观赏北极光的最佳地点,因为这主要取决于天气条件。为了找到最佳位置,我们建议参加极光旅行团。或者,如果您想要自己前往,可以查看我们的 Aurora Forecast 更多信息。极光预报经常更新,而频繁查看预报是选择适合您观赏北极光目的地的关键。
北极光通常是什么时候出现的?
根据统计数据,北极光通常出现在晚上9:00到凌晨1:00之间,但只要天黑(且天空晴朗),它们随时都有可能出现。耐心是关键!
我可以在雷克雅未克市内看到北极光吗?
一般来说,在乡郊或光污染很少的地区更容易看到北极光。在冬季,如果天气条件有利,城市中也有可能看到北极光。我们建议远离市中心,因为那里的光污染最严重。
Grótta灯塔是一个观赏极光的热门地点。或者,您可以沿着海岸散步并往北方看——这样光污染就会在您身后,最大限度地提高成功的机会。
你上次看到北极光是什么时候?
在冰岛,我们经常能看到这一令人惊叹的现象。我们的摄影师几乎每晚都会外出,争取拍摄到最美的北极光,并在以下页面分享经验: Aurora Diary.
如何拍摄北极光的照片?
在我们的页面 这里,您将找到开始北极光摄影所需的一切。对于专业技巧和指导,我们建议参观我们的展览——我们有一个专门的部分讲解这个主题!
关于旅行团
参加极光团时,我应该穿什么或带什么?
冬季的夜晚寒冷且常常有风。可能需要而且您可能会在外面待很长时间等待北极光,因此请确保穿上保暖的衣物、帽子和手套。我们还推荐穿防水夹克和鞋子,因为您在旅途中可能会遇到风雪。正如我们在冰岛所说的:“Það er ekki til slæmt veður ef þú klæðir þig rétt”,这意味着,只要你穿着合适就没有坏天气。
所以准备就是关键 😉
我的极光之旅刚刚被取消,我现在应该如何做?
如果您的极光之旅被旅游公司取消,您可以将行程重新安排日期。请联系旅游公司以重新安排。您可以在您的凭证上找到他们的联系信息。
如果由旅游公司方面取消,而导致您无法参加极光之旅,您可能有权获得退款。请联系您的旅游提供商以获取更多信息。
在极光之旅中,你会做些什么?
在从您的酒店(或附近)接送后(请查看您的凭证以获取详细信息),您将被带到郊区——远离雷克雅未克明亮的城市灯光。无论您选择参加超级吉普车、小巴还是巴士之旅,导游都会根据最新的预报确保带您前往最佳的观赏北极光地点。到达目的地后,您将有机会下车,尽情观察和拍摄北极光。
一旦旅程结束,您将被送回您的下车地点。旅游的持续时间取决于您所预订的行程类型,通常在2小时到5小时之间。
