## What the operator says

The Northern Lights, also known as Aurora Borealis, are caused by collisions between particles from the sun with the upper atmosphere near the North Pole. In Iceland they are visible during the winter months, from late August to April, and appear in many different forms and colours although light green and pink are the most common.
Our Northern Lights team studies thoroughly the weather and aurora forecasts in order to find the best location each night to spot the lights.
The lights are a natural phenomenon and sightings cannot be guaranteed.
Please note that indicated return times can vary.
The maximum group size is 19 people.
