The Reykjavik Northern Lights tour departs at approximately 8:30 PM from Oct 1 - Mar 14, and 9:30 PM from Sep 1 - Sep 30 & Mar 15 - Apr 15. If the tour is canceled locally, we will attempt to offer another Northern Lights tour on an alternate evening, conditions permitting.
This evening, hope to see these lights swirling and dancing across the sky, endlessly changing color, shape and size* *The order of sightseeing for Reykjavik City Tour may vary depending on day **Northern Lights tours are subject to correct weather conditions and solar activity. The solar particles collide with atmospheric gases and create this wonderful light effect. This solar wind is caught by the Earth's magnetic field on the south and north poles. The Northern Lights originate from the sun, where large explosions and electronic storms throw charged solar particles deep into space. Later tonight, search the skies for the Northern Lights, (Aurora Borealis) among the most spectacular phenomena on earth. End your tour at Harpa Concert & Conference Hall where you can choose to stay in downtown Reykjavik on your own, or return to your hotel. Gain invaluable insight into the Icelandic society and how Reykjavik has developed from a small fishing village into a modern capital. View Höfði House where Reagan and Gorbachev met to end the Cold War, as well as Hallgrimskirkja church, an iconic Reykjavik landmark. Or perhaps take an optional city tour of Reykjavik during which you'll visit landmarks such as the Pearl for unrivaled views over Reykjavik and the Northern lights Center. Spend the balance of the day at leisure to explore Reykjavik, the world's most northerly capital, surrounded by incredible landscapes and countless natural wonders.
In this case, leave your luggage with the concierge. Most flights arrive in the early morning and your room may not be ready for you. Welcome to Iceland, transfer independently to your hotel in Reykjavik.

Therefore, more space-research is needed for better forecasts. The reason for this shortcoming is that we do not fully understand the complicated processes, starting from the Sun and ending in the near-space of the Earth, involved in the cosmic ignition of the Northern lights. The skill of real-time predictions is, unfortunately, rather low we cannot make predictions for several days like forecasting normal weather. When the monitoring devices (e.g., magnetometers or particle detectors in a satellite) show certain deviations from the normal situation, one can expect that a space weather storm is approaching in a few hours. The latter predictions are based on a space-weather monitoring system either by ground-based devices or satellites watching the space-weather conditions around the Earth. Even in South Finland, say Helsinki, one can see them but much more seldom in Helsinki only one night out of 20. in Tromsö) one can see Northern lights almost every night. On the coast of the Arctic Ocean in North Norway (e.g.

From these statistics we can say what is the probability of the occurrence of Northern lights during the course of year.Īccording to the statistics compiled by the Finnish Meteorological Institute, four nights out of five are illuminated by Northern lights in Northern Lapland (Kilpisjärvi-Utsjoki area) providing that the sky is free enough from clouds. The former are based on a large amount of observations of Northern lights at different latitudes during several years. There is two kind of Northern lights prediction: statistical and real-time ones.
