<strong>Incredible</strong> <strong>Spots</strong> <strong>for</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong> <strong>Ultimate</strong> <strong>Aurora</strong><br />

<strong>Borealis</strong>!


The stunning display of e<strong>the</strong>real lights in <strong>the</strong> broad expanse of <strong>the</strong> sky, <strong>the</strong> Nor<strong>the</strong>rn Lights is<br />

sure <strong>to</strong> be on everyone’s bucket list! We at Pickyourtrail have compiled <strong>the</strong> best place <strong>to</strong> view<br />

<strong>the</strong> <strong>Aurora</strong> <strong>Borealis</strong>, read ahead and find out…<br />

<strong>Aurora</strong> in Iceland<br />

Without a doubt, <strong>the</strong> singular viewing spots <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> Nor<strong>the</strong>rn Lights are found in Iceland. The<br />

closer you get <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> Arctic, <strong>the</strong> better your view of <strong>the</strong> <strong>Aurora</strong> <strong>Borealis</strong>. Known <strong>for</strong> its magnificent<br />

glaciers, gushing geysers, gregarious waterfalls and sedate volcanoes, Iceland is also incredibly<br />

generous with its Nor<strong>the</strong>rn Lights viewing! Do plan your trip between September and April <strong>to</strong><br />

witness <strong>the</strong> lights in all <strong>the</strong>ir glory.


Seltjarnarnes<br />

The Grótta lighthouse found on <strong>the</strong> Seltjarnarnes Peninsula is a fantastic spot <strong>to</strong> catch <strong>the</strong> lights -<br />

away from <strong>the</strong> city and <strong>the</strong> light pollution, you’ll get a clear view! Beat <strong>the</strong> cold by soaking<br />

your feet in a convenient geo<strong>the</strong>rmal tub while you wait <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> lights <strong>to</strong> emerge. Close your eyes,<br />

wait until you’ve adjusted <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> darkness, and be prepared <strong>to</strong> be spellbound!


Öskjuhlíð<br />

Plan an <strong>Aurora</strong> adventure <strong>to</strong><br />

Öskjuhlíð, a <strong>for</strong>est near a<br />

popular restaurant, Perlan.<br />

The night sky, <strong>the</strong> quiet<br />

sounds from <strong>the</strong> trees and<br />

wildlife, and several little<br />

clearings all provide you with<br />

<strong>the</strong> perfect ambience <strong>to</strong><br />

experience <strong>the</strong> <strong>Aurora</strong><br />

<strong>Borealis</strong> in its splendour! Lay<br />

back on <strong>the</strong> ground, let your<br />

heart and mind expand along<br />

with <strong>the</strong> expanse of <strong>the</strong> sky.


Seljavallalaug<br />

A truly unique place <strong>to</strong> view <strong>the</strong> Nor<strong>the</strong>rn Lights is at Seljavallalaug Pool, <strong>the</strong> oldest Icelandic<br />

pool! Found nestled between South Icelandic mountains, <strong>the</strong> pool is naturally filled by<br />

geo<strong>the</strong>rmal hot water. Prepare <strong>to</strong> soak in this au<strong>the</strong>ntic heated swimming pool, your body in <strong>the</strong><br />

water and your head tilted <strong>to</strong> gaze at <strong>the</strong> wonders playing across <strong>the</strong> sky!


Urban Viewing<br />

We’ve taken care <strong>to</strong> suggest remote<br />

places away from <strong>the</strong> urban areas,<br />

as <strong>the</strong> city lights will affect your<br />

viewing pleasure. Besides, <strong>the</strong>re is<br />

little mobility <strong>to</strong> follow <strong>the</strong> Nor<strong>the</strong>rn<br />

lights while <strong>the</strong>y dance in <strong>the</strong> sky. If<br />

you do choose <strong>to</strong> view <strong>the</strong> <strong>Aurora</strong><br />

from <strong>the</strong> cities, we recommend you<br />

find a tall building with relatively less<br />

light pollution. An alternative is a city<br />

park, such as <strong>the</strong> Laugardalur Park<br />

or <strong>the</strong> lesser-known Klambratún!


The Nor<strong>the</strong>rn Lights are truly a spectacle worthy many a visit! Take time off from <strong>the</strong><br />

hustle and bustle of daily life, pack your bags and winter jackets, and jet off <strong>to</strong> Iceland.<br />

Pickyourtrail will take care of <strong>the</strong> minutiae while you escape <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Aurora</strong> <strong>Borealis</strong> with<br />

your loved ones! Book an incredible Nor<strong>the</strong>rn Lights <strong>to</strong>ur<br />
