Iceland Northern lights

Iceland Northern Lights

We see so much of them and have them visible more than 8 months a year: From late August to the end of April. Any of those months is as likely as the next one to see some aurora activity, it just depends on your luck with the weather.

Actually the Northern lights are active all year long but we can only see them in darkness, when the skies are clear. In summertime Iceland is bright almost all the time, so that is the period when you can not see the Northern lights in Iceland.

 can see the Northern lights in Iceland as early as August, as soon as the night skies get dark enough and weather conditions are favorable. It helps if it's cool and crisp outside, and a small moon helps make them easier to spot.
You can see them as late as April, and from any corner of Iceland, anytime between dusk and dawn, and seeing the Northern lights concurrently with a sunrise or sunset is one of the most spectacular sights you'll ever see in your life.
