Private Northern Lights Hunt: Minivan

Northern Lights hunt, how does it work?

If you come to Iceland in the wintertime, for sure, you would like to experience the Northern Lights.

They are undoubtedly the most beautiful thing that can be seen in nature during the dark hours of the day.

To see the Northern Lights, you will need two things: Patience and Luck. The luckier you are, the less patient you will need to be!

Northern Lights are only visible when the sky is clear and there is no cloud cover. Basically, if you can see the stars, you can see the Northern Lights. That is, if they happen! And this is when luck and patience come into play. Even with the best conditions, eventually, all you have to do is wait and gaze at the sky!
