NORTHERN LIGHTS CRUISE | 22:00

Report from Eldey: Tonight we were expecting a Kp index of 2, which seems low but actually is enough to see these amazing lights. The night was cold, but extremely calm, so we packed ourselves with cozy overalls and we were ready to wait for the lights to show up. They decided to take their time, but we could finally spot them: we had northern lights right above the Mountain of  Esja! They came out very slightly, getting stronger with time, and then fading away a little bit, always coming back so that we could have a nice look at this green dash at the sky.

They occur when charged particles from the sun are carried by solar winds and collide with Earth’s magnetic field. These particles are drawn toward the magnetic poles, where they interact with gases in the atmosphere (mainly oxygen and nitrogen) producing light in various colours.
