In the winter in Iceland, whenever night falls, dazzling streams of light dance in the clear sky. The auroras are bright and dark, red and green, like vibrant ribbons swirling and changing in the sky. Anyone who has seen the auroras will understand why tourists from all over the world are so fascinated by them.
⏰ Best Time for Iceland Auroras
Auroras can appear throughout the year, but they are most likely to be seen at night, with the highest probability between September and April in Iceland. Especially around the winter solstice, when the darkness lasts for about 20 hours, it is an excellent opportunity for observation.
