Northern lights featured on USA Today

USA Today spots Northern Lights in Iceland


U.S. publication, USA Today has recently run a feature on viewing the Northern Lights in Iceland as part of its online travel magazine.

In the article, USA Today journalist Laura Bly travelled to Iceland in search of the illustrious Northern Lights. Whilst on her quest, she found more than she expected and discovered the celestial fireworks are “are just like Santa Claus, if you really believe, you’ll see them.”

During the article, Bly explains that she had been tempted to Iceland by off-season package deals; the island’s prime vantage point, just below the Arctic Circle; a 5½-hour flight from the USA; and NASA’s prediction that increased solar emissions could make this winter’s displays of Northern Lights the most spectacular in 50 years.

I wish I could see the northern lights right now.

I am hearing that they have put a webcam from Reykjavík. With some luck, if you watch for 24 hours, maybe you could see them! =)
